I have a very hard time calming myself down. I always have to constantly be thinking about something, doing something, or just something something something. The calm state of mind is so ever elusive. When I need a break from starcraft, I don't just take a break, I have to download or upload or compress convert or do some background task just so that I'm not wasting my time being away from my computer. I go take a nap or something to calm me down, but I am never quite calm down when I can just sit and stare at my computer for like 1 minute before doing something. How do you guys get into a calm, submissive state of mind/being?

I usually kill people, cut them up, put them in garbage bags, and dump the bodies in the ocean.

I smoke a cigarette sometimes.

Also, I breathe in with my mouth slowly for ten seconds, then breathe out slowly for ten seconds (with my mouth yet again). It helps slow your heart down, therefore calming you down. Try it out.

I'm always in a super calm content state and if I seem angry or like I'm bitching about something it's all just an act trying to convey some fake emotions. That is unless I'm drunk and someone tries to rip me off then ANGER.

I don't think your question can be solved unless with drugs. Everyones different and some people just can't chill the fuck out for some reason. There are plenty of temporary fixes but that anxiety will always creep back up on some people.

edit: actually I lied sometimes I go into a sick state of tilt when I'm waiting around for something that I feel I shouldn't have to be waiting for. Wow that erks the shit out of me

but in general yeah I think a very healthy lifestyle is the only natural fix

anything else we should know about?
why so 진지해?

same way for me, the only time I'm loud is when I'm being an asshole or putting on an act of being pissed off

come to think of it everyone probably thinks I get really angry, but I guess it would be really weird if I just appeared apathetic to everything

methinks you have adhd, check with your psychiatrist.

or stop taking ecstasy.

Hmm I don't ever have to do this, I'm generally pretty calm. One of the few things that makes me angry is loosing consecutive BW games due to stupid mistakes and the way I rectify it is playing till I win.

Wow, if what you write is true you're spending wayyyyy too much time in front of your computer. Have you tried going without it completely for a day or two?

I am usually very calm.

Even if I get angry then I must have a really really good reason to do so. So I'm not afraid to express my emotion.

Well doing something that physically tires you works well, but if you're trying to calm down before playing a game of bw that's not really going to work.

The secret to staying clam is to not care so much.
No I'm never serious.

from a reply in another post, I wrote this ..

On November 22 2008 14:19 Physician wrote:
I have never actually been depressed for which I am very thankful. The closest thing that comes to it, is feeling between uneasiness and being pissed off - when I can't quite identify what triggered it (when I can, I try to deal with problem and it usually improves the mood). When that happens if I can't find a reason to explain the mood, I listen to tangram and mellow out usually under 8 minutes.. And because I've have done it so often since I was young, if I can't listen to it for whatever reason, I will close my eyes, and replay it in my mind - it works almost like a reflex and I usually manage to settle my emotions into a pleasant neutral.

- it works for me, basically you condition a yourself to a mood state, using a piece of music as trigger.
