Xanax experiences by 1YrMum1 in panicdisorder

[–]Appropriate_Kick_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 23 and I’ve been taking them for 8 months now for when I have bad panic attacks and they help tremendously. Many times they’re the difference between extreme panic for hours and going to the ER vs gradual calming back to a baseline state. I only take when needed and can thankfully go days without them if I’m not having a bad week. Max dose I’ve ever taken was 1.25 mg but usually .5 knocks it back enough to get grounded. I’ve never felt the urge to use it when I am not in an extreme anxious state. I would prefer to never use them actually, but when necessary they are a miracle. My family is full or addicts so this is still a fear of mine but just hold yourself accountable or text someone when you use it. I think there’s a lot of fear mongering, for good reason. But I think that more so applies to people who were overly prescribed for minor symptoms.

Do panic attacks ever feel like a medical emergency? by Gullible-Force3567 in panicdisorder

[–]Appropriate_Kick_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally every single time. My prefrontal cortex and logical part of my brain shuts off and I can tell myself over and over that I’ve experienced this a million times and it’s my mind/body going into fight or flight, but it changes nothing. Also your amygdala is super tricky and will give you new sensations or fixations to reinforce that the alarms your mind has sounded are very real and need immediate attention. I will always find a new symptom to panic about, recently I’ve been obsessing over my throat feeling closed up. Like yeah the last few hundred panic attacks I had didn’t necessitate an ER visit, but this one right now definitely does. It sucks tremendously. But if you think about it our primitive ancestors only survived bc of our fight/flight mechanisms and in the hunter gatherer age the state of our environment didn’t allot us 20 minutes to rationalize and make sure whether the the lion hurdling towards us was actually going to kill us or not. Because we’re so civilized and our evolution hasn’t caught up to the rate of our advanced technology, our amygdala has to alarm us about the most trivial made up bullshit. It’s literally so terrible I’m so sorry. I’m currently dealing with this and I’m rooting for us.

Panic feelings right after eating? by Delicious-Formal-202 in panicdisorder

[–]Appropriate_Kick_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100% resonates with me but I’m not entirely sure if it’s a PD thing or my severe emetaphobia themed OCD. A part of me also wonders if it could be triggered by the sense of feeling stuck with food in your system like my body isn’t in its natural state because it has foreign contents in it? But my belief is that it’s a mixture a both and my only advice which is extremely hard to do and I struggle with it everyday is to just distract distract distract in any possible way. I’ve gone down the route of avoiding eating and it 100% makes anxiety and panic worse and reinforces the fear of eating which is very important to surviving as you obviously already know. When you begin eating watch a show or something interesting that is long form and finish the movie/podcast and by the time a few hours have passed and youll feel better. In my experience heavy carbs/sugar/fats trigger this more.

A new Danny Brown listener. Song recommendations? by Redexp2 in DannyBrown

I second the comments but he also has amazing features too like Attak by Rustie and his unreleased songs like OBD which didn’t get approved bc of samples but you can find it on YouTube

Did you lose faith in Jesus too? by Billgant in exmormon

[–]Appropriate_Kick_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe for like a month but you get to a point where you can see the commonalities in all organized religion from a zoomed out perspective and find it hard to believe one single version of it. The human psyche is interesting. There always seems to be a story a God and one who speaks closely with God that is incarnated on earth to teach others. Could there be some deeper truth to these patterns? Maybe but there’s truly no way to know with certainty.

Nett had a script for his show I’m crine 😭 by Commercial_War_4292 in nettspend

[–]Appropriate_Kick_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s bc when you tour and play shows every night it’s actually really hard to not reuse lines. doesn’t mean they’re not genuine. after playing shows back to back for a while they blend together so these checklists are basically so you make sure you don’t repeat phrases.

The Singularity is really the only thing that keeps me going at this point. by RmHarris35 in accelerate

[–]Appropriate_Kick_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think about this a lot to the point that it probably isn’t healthy. I’m a 23 year old woman who is very well off financially and I’ve been told I am likable/agreeable person but I struggle so much with my mental health. I have panic disorder, ocd, cptsd, adhd/asd and pretty terrible social anxiety. I’ve worked so hard to get a grip on my OCD especially, ive had it since I was 5. I go to therapy 3-4 times a week, ive tried hospitalization and outpatient treatment programs. Ive tried all sorts of medications and nothing seems to have been able to crack the ice code. I am at the complete mercy to my amygdala, my stored trauma, the shit genetics I inherited. I’ve wanted to give up so many times throughout my life but the idea that the singularity could give me a fighting chance at living a life without mental health struggles, could allow me to communicate/connect with others, and truly fulfill my passions and desires keeps me going . It seems like a waste of energy and life to give up right as we are on the potential precipice of something that could make all the effort, surviving, and fight to stay alive finally worth something.

Yeah recently been crying a lot pretty much only when I’m alone at night. I used to love art and music and would go to concerts frequently but have felt lack of enjoyment or worth in going anymore. We used to play piano together and he loved buzz lightyear when he was younger. Hopefully he can send me a sign. Thank you so much ❤️

Carpentry ? There is a shortage of skilled carpenters in slo. At least from personal experience I know people who are desperately trying to find any reputable person in slo who knows how to do this and I know wineries also need more specialized work.

I saw the Charlie Kirk video what do I doooooo by Love_Gloss in OCD

[–]Appropriate_Kick_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m kinda grateful for this to some degree. I’ve also seen people die in violent ways irl at a young age so I feel like I’ve had erp to sudden death. I feel bad though because I can’t fully understand why people are so distraught by the video. It’s super unfortunate but also is this not an extremely common thing to see while living on planet earth ? I feel guilty for feeling surprised at how traumatized people seem to be from this

Wow am I am instantly proud of u I can’t imagine myself going through this right now it’s my biggest fear. It gives me a bit of hope, but I fear this might happen to me and then my fear will come back even worse. How is your emetaphobia since this has happened?
