if your brain has the energy and free space to focus on stuff that makes you anxious while riding, you need to ride harder.  The track is one of the only places i get to "turn the noise" off because im so focused in and trying to hit my marks and not eat shit.

Try the carnivore diet, I'm starting to think incorrect diet and malnutrition is a big driver of mental issues particularly anxiety, malnutrition = starvation there for anexity.

You need anxiety managing medication.

 

For life anxiety that is inconsistent they will give you some form of a benzo.

For sports anxiety they will prescribe a beta blocker. 


propranolol will solve your issues so you can enjoy riding again. It will help you build confidence again and manage it until you can overcome it. See a doctor, describe your symptoms. They will prescribe it. 

I hope nobody reads this and thinks drugs are the answer🤷‍♂️

The drugs help you while you find a way to deal with the anxiety. You realize they exist because anxiety can cause heart attacks, panic attacks, etc? Treatments exist for a reason.  
 

People think anxiety is “mental” therefore shouldn’t be treated, you can also argue a migraine or general pain are mental. But you’ll take a tylenol without thinking twice. The answer is neither is just mental.

Hi there guys Sorry if its not much of related to the forum 

but i belive there are alot of smart mature growns mans here with experience

I'm 29 years old i do belive in god , i belive i do have alot of thoughts about anxiety etc im basically afraid from the anxiety its self and the effects you feel prolly of the lost control ( i was kinda ok untill COVID-19 Came and i was sick , since then i feel more anxious daily)

i dont wanna give up on riding and lose to this i do ride , i ride mostly enduro and a bit of hard enduro

and sometimes if its gets hot and i feel a bit tired or whatever ( i know i have much more power to go)

i kinda start to get anxious i try to live the present and enjoy the ride but for some reason its stronger then me and riding and life is no longer feel fun anymore

im sorry again if its not really realted but i would love to hear some people experiece thoughts what ever comes to youre minds

ty ocne again

I would seek out a vitamin thing. I know it’s basic, but try taking Emergen-C. It’s a 1000mg of Vitamin C and some B6 B12 and other vitamins. I would take one in the am and pm. It’s a start.

When I go to busy places like the airport, motocross national or supercross, big local amateur races, etc. I will mix 1/2 of a Emergen-C packet into a 1/2 Liter water bottle after breakfast and have the other half-packet in another bottle of water after dinner.

The full packet is too much and puts my stomach in a knot, especially if I have it without food.

If I get nerves before a race, I just remind myself that nobody's watching, and nobody cares but me!  Cool

Depression is living too much in the past, anxiety is living too much in the future. Try and be present, yoga and meditation help. Exercise daily, consistency over intensity.

Anxiety for me is fear based and sometimes pending incidents.

i have a weird thing where sometimes i will have anxiety all day and im constantly asking myself “why why why” then something will happen. And what i mean by something, like an accident/badnews/ something unwanted in any faucet of life. Then once im told or the event happens its gone.. (it feels like being able to predict the future, but i cant decipher what the issue will be. Its strange) 

Caffeine is a trigger for me, so i avoid coffee and even too much soda. 
 

you mentioned covid 19, (which is a taboo subject round these parts) however i had really really bad anxiety behind it especially when i got sick with it in 2020 and everybody basically said you were going to die (late june/july of 2020). What i did learn though was.

1. if you’re a believer in god, i am.. pray and put it on your god to help you deal with it.

2.Face confront whatever gives you anxiety, meaning learn about it and deal with it in your way. (Just try to stay away from bad habits)

3. Think positive and seek help if it gets to bad where you cant help yourself.

This is why I had to stop around the age of 24/25ish… weed was a big trigger as well specifically with any derivative of the sativa version of the plant. 
 

indica the couch lock side of it was ok in very very small quantities but if i went over the line with any of them i ended up in anxiety chaos for 3 hours and it effin sucked!

I got lucky but it took me approximately 5 months to feel better. I know exactly what you’re talking about. 
 

the exact date that i had this weird revelation was December 6th in the garage talking to my dad.. it was like a cloud was lifted off of me and life was awesome again.. idk how to explain it. But before that i did have crazy anxiety and stressors from being sick.  What also helped me was i would moto anyway even though i felt awful. Then workout a limited amount and play golf when i could. That combo and prayer im not sure what was going on in my body but i got major relief and life has been better even through subsequent covid re-infections.

No it was a random conversation about cars/F1 and then like a clarity thought and it was gone. Thats the best i can describe it.

whatever it was, that caused the anxiety had vanished. Was wonderful i sincerely hope and pray you can find the clarity to get out of that stuck feeling and can find enjoyment without the nagging anxiety.

I have suffered from anxiety my entire life , I never knew what it was untill I was in my late 20s.  Anxiety is a bitch that you can overcome , but it always is on your shoulder.  

I know this is broad , so broad and vague . But you really gotta think to yourself,  what are we here for ? Religion and everything else aside , at the end of the day. You are only 1 man , you are only 1 father , you are only 1 employee , and you only have 1 life.  Some of the things in this equation are optional.  The 1 life thing though ? Not optional , its all you have . Dont let anxiety and stress determine the outcome of the only life you have . I've been through my spouts of being off the bike due to being afraid of injury , taking care of my family ect. I always find myself back . 

I went through a divorce in 2020 that broke me in every way shape or form , I sold 10 bikes and gave everything up for good . Skip to now I'm a father of soon to be 3 , very proud.  With a single income house hold " my fiance stays at home" . She encouraged me to get back on the bike , she said don't worry about the injury . Ride for fun , you don't need to compete.  If you truly love it , you can find a place of comfort in your riding , that will give you a great enough chance to never get seriously hurt . 

 

With all that being said , there's two types of riders . Those that have been down , and those that are going down . How you go down is on you 99% of the time . Don't ride over your head , wanna try something new ? Sure take a while work your way up , put some thought into it . Nobody is keeping score but you . 

 

Cheers bud everything's gonna be alright .
