Having anxiety is no joke. We aren’t talking about sometimes worrying whether you left the stove on, or if you’ll run out of money this month. Occasional worry is a normal (unpleasant) part of being human. But having an anxiety disorder is something completely different.
The persistent feeling of dread can interfere with your daily life, and can become crippling at times. According to the World Health Organization, more than 300 million people worldwide suffer from anxiety disorders.Only 1 in 4 of them receive treatment.
While it’s no laughing matter, it does sometimes help to distract yourself with a good dose of giggles. And that’s where the Insta page My Introverts comes in. With over 147,000 followers it’s become somewhat of a support corner for overthinkers, introverts, and those with anxiety. Bored Panda has gathered a few hilarious memes from the page, to ease you into another manic week. Take a few deep breaths, keep scrolling and don’t forget to upvote your favorites.

Woke up from a nightmare at 5:30AM today and immediately had a panic attack. I hate my brain.
I recommend navy seal box breating. Works really well for me: 4 steps of box breathing The 4 steps of box breathing include: Step 1: Inhale slowly through your nose while mentally counting to four. Concentrate on filling your lungs and abdomen with air. Let your body feel how air is filling your lungs. Step 2: Take a deep breath. Hold your breath and mentally count to four again. Step 3: Exhale slowly through your mouth while mentally counting to four. Concentrate on getting all the air out of your lungs at once. Step 4: Take a deep breath. Hold your breath and mentally count to four again.
The real question is why is this guy sleeping on a waffle knit pillow case!? He is going to look like a Tetris board in the morning.
I used to be like this but now im in bed by 10 sharp and up by 6 just as sharp. Maybe a pèe break once or twice. TRAZADONE Rx for sleep. Look it up and make sure you google Trazadone for sleep. Saved my life.
Trazodone makes me a zombie the next day, no matter how small the dose. I take 25mg of seroquel (which is technically an anti-psychotic) and it works well, for me at least.

Don't forget all of the overthinking about potential scenarios that probably will never happen but they still *might*
Whenever a server brings me food and says "enjoy your meal" I always have to catch myself so that I don't say "you too"
I recently broke this habit if they dont care about me i wont break myself anymore for them they can eat sh1t
Be silent, and be thought a fool: or speak out, and remove all possible doubt
Yup. Years and years of being good to people... and being slapped in the face for it - then suddenly someone's nice - I don't know what to do.
Oh.. .SO many things could have been avoided if I'd just been an a$$h**e. I actually would likely have enough money to soothe the guilt of being one too. Yeah, this being considerate, compassionate, giving thing, has really only garnered a whole lot of abuse for me. Sadly.
Very similar to "when I was your age, I had brought my own house" ...
"Dad, you really gotta dial those BBQ baked beans back a little bit."
This is particularly worrisome to me in a porta or pit toilet….
BPs changed a lot of things lately. Maybe if it said "comments" some people were taking advantage to write things that were off topic or put spam... And by asking a leading question that's supposed to guide the conversation, they think that this is an improvement? I don't know. I just ignore the question and give a comment anyway lol.

How do you primarily deal with anxiety? Drinking. Heavy drinking.
