High blood pressure moments and anxiety

Post Reply New Topic

You guys know that a big anxiety for me is about social and political stuff that I have no control over. I think society has become very f**** up in post-modern days and on average everyday society is becoming more authoritarian. I think about how I don't have anything to "look forward to" in my personal future and then mankind's future. The only thing I can feel good or just okay about right now are my possessions and passive activities like listening to music. But existentially, I feel like I want to achieve "more". I also have started having thoughts about wishing that the tables were turned on the powerful elites controlling the world above us and it will be our day for a time.

I also made this post because the above actually gives me "tight" and high blood-pressure for a minute sometimes. I guess that's not a good thing really, but I personally don't worry either way or the other.

My blood pressure and heart rate have been high lately too. From anxiety for different reasons.

Also I agree, society is going to hell in a handbasket. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, there's tension everywhere, and the world seems to be getting worse and not better.

It's not just the US, from what I understand places like the UK are getting bad too.

I hafta take a small handful of pills to control mine plus severely restrict salt, and exercise.

Lately I have been even more uptight than usual and do not know why
