How to calm your anxiety

  • Drink lots of booze, actually, this makes it worse because of dehydration
  • Drink more coffee, we’ll maybe not, caffeine puts you on edge
  • Yell at your family. This never helps. Just makes your family not like you.
  • Don’t exercise, well maybe you should. It will increase oxygen flow to your brain and burn off all that anxiety energy
  • Become more self-centered. Well, maybe you should serve others. The whole reason there are needles in your mind is that you’re too focused on yourself.
  • Don’t talk to anyone. Well, maybe, seek professional help if you feel like you will hurt yourself or someone near you. Research any pills they try to shove down your throat. Don’t have faith in Morpheus like Neo did.
  • Just remember, in 100 years you will be dead.

Groundhog Day: Weather Predictions and Fun Facts

Groundhog-Day
Phil and Phil

Groundhog day is one of those special times of the year. We all wait for a woodchuck to forecast how much longer we have to deal with seasonal affective disorder. Don’t worry, spring will be here soon enough along with all of the allergies to go with it. Then you have summer heat exhaustion to look forward to. How about you just enjoy your present moments. Don’t trust meteorologists or prognosticating rodents but rather a system we’ve all agreed upon.

How to Winter: Get through the SAD

Just get over it! I wish it were that simple. Every January I get super bummed out. We usually take a vacation before Christmas, setting the dopamine production into high gear. Once boxing day hits it’s a full crash of Blah. You take down the holiday decorations and return to your normal work life.

I didn’t think that Seasonal affective Disorder was a real thing, but once you hear it described so many times it almost becomes psychosomatic. They say that exercise is the best anti-depressant. However, if you are walking or running and trip over a curb and shatter your femur then things can get really depressing and fast. You will more than likely be prescribed addictive pain medication. That will then lead to constipation. So now you can’t exercise or poop.

You can’t be depressed without knowing joy and vice-versa. But if you get stuck on either end of the spectrum, something is wrong. So what do you do? Life has highs and lows, but sometimes you need help to get out of the lows. Sometimes it takes prescription medication to get you out of your depression, but don’t let it become a crutch. Antidepressants are like a cast for a broken arm. Take the meds and talk to a professional about your problems. At some point, you can take the “cast” off. Or you can simply snap out of it or get over it like everyone suggests.
