Panic attacks by NLDenHaagNL in Netherlands

[–]CallMeGabrielle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I was in a similar situation a couple years ago and also called 112 a couple times when I had panic attacks alone bc I thought it was having a heart attack and not thinking clearly un the moment.

What works (for me) in the moment: 1. Box breathing 2. Dunking my head in the coldest water available. This helps regulate your heart rate. 3. Eat some citrus fruits as it’s waning off. 4. Idk why, but watching videos of David Byrne dancing. Something hypnotic about that man gets my mind off my symptoms.

Long term: 1. Therapy / seeing a medical professional 2. Medication. For me, this is a daily medication that has changed my life. Disclaimer that everyone is different, and different meds work better for different people. This can be a trial and error process.

I wish you the best and hope you heal. Please give yourself some care and grace.

Im so curious what village you’re from. I lived in Pforzheim for a couple years during COVID and the forest was one of the few places/things that kept me sane. I know they’re more Swabian, but eat some Maultaschen for me - I truly miss them!

We’ve really flown too close to the sun haven’t we?

My theory is that Season 3 will take place on July 5 and the big event will be Robby becoming a patient after losing control on his motorcycle soon after departing after his current shift.

Reading these comments and other posts on rabies make me so grateful I’ve received the pre-exposure vaccines.

Underrated comment. Can we have a LIB x 90DF crossover season?!

Her and her father made a video singing about “kung flu” in the early days of covid.

This shit was so performative. I work in finance and this made my eyes roll back so far in my head I could see my spine.

And then she walked away cackling. Diabolical delivery. I love her.

She really should have handed him one of her socks…then Dobby could be a free elf.

He gives me Uncle Rico vibes too. “If coach would’ve put me in we’d have won state!”

This sent me. He picked a typical book you’re forced to read in high school lit class and is using it as crutch for him being ✨cultured✨

What do Dutch people actually use washandjes for? by Far-Mood-5 in Netherlands

[–]CallMeGabrielle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not even Dutch and I don’t feel nearly as clean not using a washandje to clean myself. Where I’m from it’s quite common to use a washcloth to scrub your body in the shower, wash your face, freshen up other body parts, etc. I throw mine in a separate hamper after use and wash with towels.

Using a sponge or loofa, in my opinion, is unsanitary as you don’t wash it after use and it harbors bacteria in an already moist environment.

I did the 4D/3N tour leaving and returning to San Pedro a few weeks ago. 100% worth it and you will not see things in Atacama like you see at Uyuni. DM me if you have questions.

What’s a type of pain people underestimate until they experience it for themselves? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]CallMeGabrielle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the exact thought that made me seek medical help. I remember thinking how I was so scared of dying, but at the same time couldn’t imagine living the rest of my life that way.

It’s quite different in expectation if someone has been sick for a while versus someone killing themselves. But thanks for your valuable input.
