using beer as a "cure" against anxiety

Works for Rajesh Koothrappali...

What kind of beer are we talking? Because if someone brings home something like, say Budweiser, Molson Canadian, or Lucky Lager, that's just going to CREATE some anxiety.

I'm not sure if you're serious. Why would you post this here?

Try and see if 0% alcohol beer has the same effect.

this could be scientifically correct, the reason is alcohol is a "depressant" meaning it calms you... this is of course if you dont take too much... that and beer has some enzymes in it that can contribute to sleepiness
just like caffeine can cure headaches because it creates a chemical reaction in your body that opens up your blood vessels and so on

Did you try ASMR? (For example this). This seems to help many people with their anxieties

I have social anxiety disorder and use beta blockers for bad times. however ive had it for about 15 years so i'm getting used to learning to deal with it. Music such as hard rock, doom metal or dubstep helps keep my mind off of things

Alcohol in moderate amounts can be a decent cure for anxiety, people have been using it for thousands of years to unwind and reset their stress levels. As long as you aren't drinking too much, what's the problem?

hell, I learned the wikipedia just to know dafuq you wrote there. I wish you to get cured

ok it's better if i do something like play shin megami tensei strange journey or thief the dark project.. i love those games.

I started with major anxiety due to post traumatic stress disorder. Spent a couple years visiting a psychologist and then a psychiatrist. In the end, a combination of paxil and marijuana and I'm anxiety free (this was prescribed by my psychiatrist). I live in a country where I won't go to jail for this, if you can try and see if it works for you.

Dude, believe me, I know what you're feeling. I used to do it with hash and weed, but it got to a point that I was spending more than I could actually afford. Yes, beer can have an anti depressive effect, but is not wise to go trough that path. Just remember to be self aware, and be careful. And, I know it's easier said than done, but seek help.

good night guys and gals.. (i dunno).. im sleepy.. maybe tomorrow i will wake up and checking steamgifts ill notice i won something.. ill hope lol, ten minutes of euphoria and then same as ever.. nite. : D

beer is no cure, the real cure is to find out who you are, underneath the name and your life story.

know that feel i drink/smoke shit too

Hmmmm I'd suggest some moderate herb-based sedatives instead, perhaps. But that depends on how much beer you need, actually. :)

Hey. Have you watched an anime called Welcome to the NHK? The main character is a recluse with bad anxiety. It's a sad story with comedy and dark comedy. I watched it, and I'm sure you will like it. This anime may not cure you, but you may or may not get something out of it. And if you didn't get anything out of it, hey it'll distract your sadness for a few days.

Episode 1 (Good Quality and English Sub) Watch the first few episodes of the show, and the momentum of interest shall appear. Kinda like Steins Gate somewhat slow beginning.

Isn't alcohol considered a depressant?

Isn't that a common route to become an alcoholic? Also, alcohol is a mild dopamine enhancer, and I wouldn't use it if I had a depression, since you already have somewhat disturbed dopamine balance = fast addiction, lower everyday-dopamine-levels and even worse anxiety problems in the future if you keep using it.

works for me

I'm diagnosed with asperger syndrome. It's neither a disease or curable. Beer doesn't really work for me, it usually makes me tired (I believe I've read that it's common for us) and do stupid social things I regret later. It doesn't help with my main problems at all, which are that I don't have alot of friends and I don't really do almost anything in life. Also I tend to get terrible heartburns from drinking beer:s

alcohol make depression and huge damages. you should never use drugs and especially hard drugs like alcohol if you care about about your mental health! stop it now before it ruin your life and your brain. go find a goal to your life, this is the solution.

I'll be quite honest with you. Dont make a big deal out of it, i mean, i know it is, but you shouldn't. On the other hand, try some cognitive therapy with psychologists or psychiatrists. People have been studying this sort of things for years and decades so you dont have to go to a forum trying to find your "own solutions". Just go and get some therapy buddy :) you will be ok

works everytime
