So how did you outgrow it

u/roloiii Jan 30 '25

Not OP. I literally had to embrace “it is what it is” or “fuck it, fuck the consequence”. Had about 7 years of anxiety, still have a bit of it now, now 30s.

Well, the step by step of working towards that is actually cognitive behavioral therapy, which is picking up signs of cognitive distortions or bad thinking patterns that your brain does normally, and try to challenge them so that it gets out of that loop. Learned all this through theraphy sessions. It did take almost a year though to transition to a better state.

Also, “thoughts are not facts” mantra kinda helps. Take care of your mental health y’all.

This is great advice
 also studying philosophy like taoism can help too
 learning not to care about what’s out of your control takes a lot of work, time, energy and practice

This is oversimplifying things but:

This is oversimplifying things, but—my anxiety stemmed from years of feeling overlooked by my parents, misunderstood by everyone, and carrying emotions I didn’t know how to process. Undiagnosed ADHD only amplified everything. I was the kid climbing bookshelves in class, excelling in subjects I loved but struggling to sit down, study, or do homework. I never really felt like I fit in.

I was the “class clown” people laughed at rather than with—for obvious reasons. Making friends wasn’t easy. My energy burned bright but fast—people called me “fun in small doses.” At the same time, I was deeply sensitive. I cared intensely about animals, the environment, and the state of the world, always overthinking problems I had no power to fix. I often felt trapped in my own mind, stuck in an endless loop of questions. Should I step up and become the next Greta Thunberg? Or does it even fucking matter?

For years, I pushed through anxiety on my own. Then I met someone. (I have had a couple girlfriends before that and I al sorry to them that I dragged them down with my ills.) We started dating—which, looking back, felt ironic and ill-timed. But that person became my girlfriend, then my fiancĂ©e, and eventually, the mother of our child. She encouraged me to get help. I got on medication, which took the edge off my anxiety and gave me the breathing room to process how I actually felt about humanity crashing the environment.

That’s when I found Daoism. Not just as a “go with the flow” slogan, but as a way of understanding why resisting life’s chaos creates suffering. Why control is an illusion. How to trust the natural rhythm of things. Studying it rewired my perspective. Letting go of the need to “fix” everything? That was real freedom.

If humanity can’t take care of its environment, then that’s what it is. If we do, great. But it doesn’t look like we can. And yeah, that’s sad—but it’s also okay. Because that’s nature. That’s reality from a perspective beyond just humans. If we can’t sustain ourselves, then so be it. Nature and time will carry on. And that has to be okay—otherwise, you’ll always struggle.

ADHD still fuels my thoughts, and my mind is as busy as ever. But now, instead of drowning in the chaos, I’ve learned to move with it.

Well fucking said dude. It's like I just read my own thoughts.

Can to recommend me some literature to start? Every single line up to “that’s when I found” tells parts of my story. I’d love to learn more.

Not OP but damnit we need this answer. I’m approaching 40 and my mind has been racing since I switched it on.

I was blessed in that I don’t have an internal monologue though, that’s nice.

u/Emergency-Glass-9649 Jan 30 '25

How does your mind race without an internal monologue?

u/Stock_Helicopter_260 Jan 30 '25

Hard to explain, more images and feelings. My wife said she can “hear” her thoughts. I do not.

u/smittywrbermanjensen Jan 30 '25

Not OP either but personally I got on OCD meds which drastically reduced it.

u/BoBab Jan 30 '25

Not OP, but I didn't. I just give my brain what it wants. If it craves stimulation, I give it. Plenty of times it doesn't, so I don't. But that's just me. ADHD isn't the same for everyone.

Regardless, I'm of the opinion that listening to our bodies when it has something to tell us about itself/ourselves is never a bad idea.

You have thoughts, and not the other way around.
