Mental Health Habits

ENFJ with Generalised Anxiety Disorder. I count myself very lucky.

Triggers: work stress (if it tips beyond ~130% of my capacity), interpersonal conflict (thankfully rare), hormones

Frequency: I went from 2 panic attacks at night (that shock me awake) to about 2 panic attacks a month — if I'm unlucky! So I'm beyond blessed!

Things that helped me:

  • cutting out toxic friends who treat me like a emotional dumpster/ free therapist

  • stopped stressing about my grades in law school (crazy competitive Asian country, no A go home)

  • keeping my schedule packed so I don't have time to overthink my anxiety

  • EXERCISING!!

  • taking all my supplements

  • listening to music everyday (I didn't know how important this was to me)

  • counting my blessings every day

  • dispelling all my fears and doubts immediately, not giving it the opportunity to fester — Rani g to a loved one, then binning it for good

  • winding down with at least 1 hobby every single day — squats, facial, YouTube videos

I really enjoyed that /r/INTJ thread; it's such an important topic to discuss!
