Me at work every day because of the noise.
Cool Guides
Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Everyone here be like "But this could also be a sign of XY". Of course that's right, but that's not the point. The point is realizing when the people you are with, friends, family, whatever, are in discomfort. It's about developing a sensitivity about it. You may not believe it, but many people who have not experienced these issues themselves, it's really hard to tell.
My wife starts watching old animes she has watched 100 times and then starts a panic attack shortly after.
Haha this infographic is dumb. Everyone feels like this 100 % of the time.
.........right........?
/S just so no one thinks I'm actually serious. Don't want to offend anyone.
The three on the right pretty much all the time.
Yeah. A good portion of the ones listed are a constant. It kinda sucks, doesn't it? Haha.
outside of needing more reassurance and not making future plans this is me every day.
Sounds a lot like autism. I tick all these boxes but am not particularly anxious.
Interesting, seems to make more sense to me too. Largely because i have anxiety issues, and it feels more fight or flight (mostly flight) as opposed to the above.
Came to say ADHD. Maybe the neurotypicals just misread anything "different" and lump it together?
They usually do
Brooo same! I went out with friends last friday and we hung out at walmart. And i was thinking about what bag of chips i wanted and a family freind came over and said hi and i zoned back in. And my friends asked what happend you took like 20 seconds to realize what was going on around you. The anwer was ruffles :D and i explained to my friends that i just kinda zone out in tought lmao.
What about rage quitting your job, binge drinking and a total loss of interest in all activity?
You could have depression if this video applies to you: https://youtu.be/XiCrniLQGYc?si=zhW2zJmjXl8Rb0lT
Congrats you’re major depressive!
On more serious note please get in with a therapist and psychologist to get treatment. It’s not like a viral cold, it’s like a bacterial infection that won’t get better on its own without treatment.
Most of these are signs of being restless or bored... This isn't necessarily anxiety.
thank you, now I'd like a guide on what to do next please... 🥺
Medication and therapy were life changers for me. You may not find the right med or the right therapist on your first (second, third, etc) attempts, but I’m glad I kept pursuing both. Medication doesn’t have to be permanent, but if you’re like me and your baseline is incredibly anxious and has been since you were small then you might just need it.
If you’re LGBTQ+, definitely consider therapy with someone through an LGBT health center if you can. If there isn’t one near you, teletherapy has made it way easier to find competent LGBTQ+ positive therapists.
I was more interested in how to accompany people going through anxiety, but your answer was very interesting nonetheless
my 2 cents is to help distract them, especially with exercises, anxiety is build up energy/stress, you need to eliminate that energy
Warning signs? .... sometimes I feel like this on a regular basis.
Yeah is this not just how everyone feels
Exactly. Feels like a list of post COVID era life changes.
1 4 5 7 and 8 are baseline behavior for me. Maybe I'm just an anxious person.
It could also be autism. Those are also signs of ASD
