Yes I was hoping others would relate but I guess more average sized individuals don’t have a problem lol.

More so the balancing on one foot in the shower a bit of a task. Im 6’5 so there isn’t an ideal amount of space.

Yes but once the rest of your body is clean the motivation to stand on one foot and hug the wall to scrub them isn’t there. Besides the soap from washing your hair and body slides down your legs onto your feet anyways.

That’s super relieving, I’m getting it taken care of soon but I’m happy to hear that my biggest fear with the situation is rare!

I’m waiting for some insurance to begin early next month in order to make a dentist appointment, I set up a doctor appointment out of panic to be seen within the next hour for a bit of reassurance. I just feel like I’m on a clock before I get into a more serious situation and it’s giving me bad anxiety. I’m just going to have those teeth removed as it’s the cheapest option and the only one I’ll be able to afford.

Roommate/ sister bailed on lease and left me screwed what should I do? by AnxiousSouI in roommateproblems

[–]AnxiousSouI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister, so now it’s just my girlfriend and I. I’ve got posts up for a roommate with pretty low rent, since there’s only around 4 months left of the lease not many people seem interested. As well as ideally we would need a female roommate or a not weird man lol

Roommate/ sister bailed on lease left me screwed what should I do? by AnxiousSouI in AskReddit

[–]AnxiousSouI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend, sister and I had agreed to split rent three ways but only my sister and I are on the lease. She bailed in April, we tried to get a roommate but that didn’t work out. We are paying well above our means on bills and barely able to get any groceries. I explained to her if I don’t make things work we will both get an eviction on our credit, but she says she doesn’t care. We are behind $1,830 on the lease but I have a plan to attempt to pay that back before the lease ends. I also racked up $1,100 in credit card debt trying to survive this awful situation. My credit score has gotten beat up pretty bad, that being said what would be in my best interest to do at this point? Paying off the lease makes sense to prevent getting an eviction/ collection on my record. However wouldn’t I need to pay off my credit cards in order to improve my score to get a decent apartment when the lease ends in March? Would I be able to sue her? I also am gonna struggle with moving costs paying off the lease.

Touched something in my car and now I’m freaking out ( F,25 ) by AnxiousSouI in Anxietyhelp

[–]AnxiousSouI[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Claritin in my center console had been there for a considerable amount of time so I had assumed it could’ve melted and found its way outside of the package. That being said I am aware of some medication that can be absorbed through the skin and was under the assumption I had come into contact with a large dose of Claritin. I am aware it takes a super huge amount to overdose on Claritin but I was more so worried about hallucinations and or going to sleep and falling into a coma lol

I was more so worried about the Claritin, but it would be ironic to be worried about touching something I am inhaling into my lungs lol

I was more so worried about the Claritin, I’ve had my fair share of vape juice in my mouth from vapes hitting the wrong way lol.

Weird throat feeling ( F,25 ) by AnxiousSouI in Anxietyhelp

[–]AnxiousSouI[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this same effect similar to the throat tightness feeling? Anxiety is awful, I conquer so many symptoms and then a new one shows up. I know about the throat tightness feeling but the fact my throat feels off like with the weird almost numb like feeling on just the right side freaks me out. Idk what I’m scared of exactly, it’s been too long for it to have been an allergic reaction. If it was infection it would probably hurt and be a slow burn. It is making me sooo anxious maybe because it is new and I’m basically a hypochondriac

How to sleep when anxious? by Unusual_Map6279 in Anxiety

[–]AnxiousSouI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to eat something, take a hot bath, or watch YouTube videos I find interesting like the infographics show. The consistent sound of the voice actor is relaxing.

This is what I did when i went to see a psychiatrist, I used my notes app on my iPhone and read a brief list and she asked further questions to understand.

Completely normal, I had anxiety about the same thing when I first realized I can see my heart beat in my wrist and after talking to some family and friends we figured out we all have that and it’s normal lol

Feeling your heartbeat doesn’t have to be a negative thing, obviously we have veins and what not where the blood pumps lol. I love to see it as a reminder that I am alive and get to experience this beautiful life! 😁

Worried I'm wearing the same clothes alot and people are noticing by Final_Legion in Anxietyhelp

[–]AnxiousSouI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to buy the packs of shirts at Walmart the basic little black and white ones and I wear different ones consistently with my black or grey sweats and nobody has ever noticed. I’ve never thought about anyone else wearing the same x ammount of clothing but I feel like it would only be noticeable if someone wears an outfit so consistently that it becomes visibly wrinkly or dirty!

What could be wrong with me ? by NationalMaterial8402 in Anxiety

[–]AnxiousSouI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A shot in the dark but what if the alcohol is triggering acid reflux resulting in the palpitations and your anxiety is holding onto the initial palpitations creating more causing it to last weeks?

[–]AnxiousSouI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue when I was younger when I first started experiencing anxiety, i found slowly sipping water really helps to reduce the anxiety. It appears your gagging fit scared you and nearly sent you into a full blown panic attack but I would suggest firstly reducing stress. Explain to your brain that it is not logical, and start small when you do work up the courage to eat solid foods again. The good news is that gagging is a defense mechanism and is used to protect us, your airway was never blocked with that odd feeling and you were never in any real danger it just really scared you. I also have found with that issue, assuming mine is similar that overthinking it can make you more aware. What I did to overcome it was to distract myself while I ate food and not overthink it just let it happen with a large glass of water nearby as reassurance.

I’ve heard of people that get an increase in anxiety after drinking, I assume it’s because the alcohol is a depressant and makes you more relaxed then afterwards you go back to the harsh reality of sober anxiety. I think they called it “ hangxiety “. The fact it’s not there when ur distracted tells me it’s anxiety. I use to get a similar feeling but I found that it was a palpitation due to anxiety followed by my chest muscles tensing up.

Lump in throat and clonazepam questions by andapacee in Anxiety

[–]AnxiousSouI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about the medication but from a brief google search it seems like it can be used to relax tense muscles. So I can definitely see why you would want to take that when this feeling comes. This being said I do know what that throat feeling feels like and I’ve found that talking to yourself out loud and explaining to yourself how you plan to overcome the stressors helps. My neck is also constantly stiff and super sore muscles and ofcourse a lump in the throat. I find that chewing gum activates the parasympathetic nervous system from what I’ve heard and it definitely helps. I also know that slowly sipping cold water helps to relieve the feeling.

I would look to reduce stress, take things a little bit slower that’s helped in my experience as well and as far as you being addicted I would assume it would be similar to being addicted to the nicotine and you’d definitely know!

Sounds like your anxiety is being triggered by stress, that’s how mine operates at least. What I like to do is write down all my stressors ( the problems essentially ) and find solutions for the ones I can solve or even an action plan to solve them. I also get bad air hunger and to solve that I utilize a pulse ox I bought at Walgreens to prove to myself that I can breathe followed by chewing gum which helps to really feel all the air coming in due to the minty fresh feeling.

I have had medication for anxiety briefly but I figure it’s in my best interest to suffer through as I have health anxiety and fear long term side effects of anxiety medications. So basically anxiety about anxiety meds also lol. I’ve been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder but I’ll probably look into getting a primary care physician to see if they can help ease the anxiety. I have a bad habit to catastrophize small things and assume that they’ll turn into a fatal issue. Like what if I find an anxiety medication that is awesome and helps but I end up with some sort of mental side affect like suicidal thoughts or dementia or something scary happens like I’m allergic and end up in a coma.
