So, what is the actual process of decreasing your neuroticism? And is this process something that highly neurotic people can perform safely?
As someone who definitely considers himself neurotic at times, I have found the following methods worked some for me:
1: Talking to a therapist, and taking their advice. For example someone I had talked to said If I was worrying about something in the middle of the night, write my worries about it down, (regardless of whether they were coherent or not) and then try to go back to sleep. I found this worked.
2: Ask your doctor for a prescription for LEGAL Anti-Anxiety Medications. I’m on 40 mg Citalopram This works some as well.
In retrospect, I’m not entirely sure which of these might be the stronger one. It probably varies some from person to person anyway.
There’s also generally talking to supportive people like spouse, parent, etc, but not everyone has a supportive person to talk to.
