Alcohol stress relief? No. Prescription meds? If you GENUINELY classify as a necessary recipient, maybe. Herb? Never helped me with any pain, no.
As an addict (DOC? Everything that was available at the time of my use, mainly heroin) I can tell you as others have, it isn't stress relief, it is stress masking. You mask the stress for a period of time and during that time it grows to a deeper level because it was not "properly" managed/addressed. There are just as many ways to deal with stress, depression, insecurities, anger etc. as there are to mask them. It becomes a choice of whether you are willing to live in the moment, accept what is and feel it, as painful as it is. I can only share what works for me and what my experiences are which are going to be different than yours. Meditation (not familiar then google different types). Journaling, hiking, getting "intouch" with nature, the gym, mma, dance, yoga... Once you find what lets you feel like your really in touch with YOU, then without any effort other than focusing on you, your stress relief is there, family problems are easier to handle, job is a breeze, life starts to make a little more sense.
Bro I fuck up all the time and im not trying to preach, just trying to share my experience and give a little advise...
You are right. I just feel the need right now in my life to try to mask it so I can get onto the daily life. afraid of feeling the need to resort to it every time though
Leave it ALL alone if you can muster the self-discipline. Any drug is going to change you psychologically----even when you're not high at the time-----even though you may not notice it.
I know and appreciate it. I am also scared that will happen but am questioning whether it would be better for a little change because the stress I am going through right now is def changing me. everybody is even noticing
AnonJerk it bro, that helps or hit the weights/ have a cheat meal/ take some ephedra or clen stims get me in a good mood.
Jerking it kills gains too right??
Hey bud if you got kids I would stay away from the alcohol and weed. Glass of wine occassionally at night is not that bad but don't overdue the alcohol it will ruin your gains and cause further problems. Stress and anxiety is common it's just how you deal with it that is key. You can grab some pills from a local vitamin store that work to calm you down and fight stress or go see the doctor. But then the doctor will give you something that will end up making you dependant on the pills! Typically Ativan which is the lower dosed starter. But find something that helps so that you can fix the problems before they start. PS... All wifes make us mad! Don't forget sometimes on the oils it might be you who is the grumpy one that needs to relax a bit.. We have all been there
What pills are good? Dr did give me xanax but I don't want to be dependent so I barely take em
I would try and give you advice but I seen your other post about your girl/wife and those issues. i would honestly say you got some serious life choices before you consider any meds or supplements. On a serious level if your not happy in a relationship and you have trust issues and you and you girl are just now doubting past partners etc... Thats a huge deal killer getting ready to hit the fan eventually. Thats hidden anger waiting to come out. If you can find what makes "YOU" Happy and content I promise bro you wont need meds. But some TRT never hurts!!!!
Man give me any advice you can!!! Married, 2 kids, idk what to do. Trt od a no go because I want more kids, am only 24,.etc
I agree it is anger just boiling
nothing makes me happy, Im like bi polar. sometimes super happy other times ready to kill someone
Some advice would be just chill and stop for a minute. What makes you happy bud? The gym, your kids, wife etc? You gotta find what makes you happy and build from that area. Also being a Dad and a husband you have to sacrafice and sometimes do shit you DONT like to do. Your 24 take advantage of being young and work your ass off and spend time with your kids but still manage to take some(You) time. Like I said hit the gym and leave the stress and anger at the door. Don't start at 24 looking for something that will "Fix" stress and anger. There is no magic pill or liquid. Alcohol and pills turn into a gateway and lead to addition and excuses. Also your last cycle may have your levels out of whack. Your estradiol levels may be to high and test could be low. Get a blood panel done to be safe. Maybe you need a job change? Some people hate their job and it makes them shitty all the time. Just saying look around at what makes you happy and what sucks and change the "Sucks" list.
I would have to say alcohol is the worst for muscle gains.
Weed is better than alcohol but stress is also bad for gains too.
Try running and sprinting thats really good stress relief for me.
Hmmm thats what I thought
The gym is my stress relief. But as of recently I have so much stress its hard to forget about it at the gym.
Agreed man!!!! I seriously don't know what to do. I been working close to double hours at work, kids being bad, wife making me mad as fuck to the point idk if I want to be with her some days. idk wtf to do
Try getting into mma. I did it for a couple years 6 days a weeks and it was a bigger stress relief than the gym. I had to stop though because I couldn't gain any size there but I did get really good at it so I've got some skills when some asshole picks a fight lol.
I work every day. 1 or 2 days off a month. Kids at school, girl in school I have no time for shit. not even friends
I say chill out bro, things will eventually fall back into place!
I try!!! its so hard though
Also, as a stress reliever, weed does the trick for me, I just gotta be careful not to eat all the chocolate and ice cream in the house tho ..
