Helloo. *waves*

[Dysfunctional]

Hey all.

I'm Dean. I've never really considered a forum like this, but the last few weeks of increased anxiety have taken its toll on me, and I've realized that it would be so nice to try and get talking to some people that feel the same ways as I do.

I'm a 25 year old male trying to work through social anxiety and lots of sexual dysfunction and shame. Over the years I've made lots of progress, mainly through meditation practices, but recently I feel like I'm back walking along the precipice, struggling not to just mentally breakdown. I tend to be a very positive person, it's just like there's another side of me that's so deeply conditioned and fearful, and I've never found anyone that I can really open up to or be there for with it.

I was wondering, do any of you experience really debilitating head fog/ lack of mental clarity with your anxiety? If so, do you have any tips on how you handle it?

Anyways, I'll leave all the talking for other threads, I hope everyone is having an alright day. Speak to you all soon.

Hi, Dysfunctional, welcome

I wouldn't say i suffer debilitating headfuzz, usually nothing more than a bit of exercise can't rid off. Have you looked into your diet? Caffeine and sugars, etc.

Hope you find this place worthwhile

Hey Rocket Spud and Rebka

Thanks for the welcome, you all seem nice.

I try and keep sugar and caffeine to a minimum, I'm a green tea and savory kind of guy. The fog seems to hit me most when I'm going through times like this, that's why I attribute it with the anxiety. It's so annoying.

Also Rebka, just noticed your sig and now I want to replay Abe's Odyssey! What a game.
