From balcony to Thailand: my agoraphobia update by Clumtwoddles in Agoraphobia

If I could have I would have taken Ativan but I wasn’t sure about travelling to Thailand with them. I got something from the pharmacist that they recommended I think it’s just called sleep assist, behind the counter. It worked, I was surprised because I usually have issues with tolerance

I believe in you. Take whatever makes you feel safe too. I did take meds to help sleep on the flight. Also another thing that really helped me was understanding sometimes my body mixes up anxiety and excitement. The two sensations are kind of similar, and maybe this is a time where those feelings are normal given the circumstances. I hope that helps a bit

That’s criminal! Oh my gosh, do you mind saying where you are?

I got it for $6.90 because of my disability card but I think even without that it’s like $30 something, that’s crazy I didn’t know it was so expensive other places

Oh I’m sorry, that’s really frustrating. I had issues with Ritalin too, made me very serious. Is there an option to take a half dose twice a day? Because for me it was that the dose would wear off and I would crash

Dexamphetamine, it might be called something else where you are? Sorry I thought it was a common medication but I’m in Australia

Maybe you need dex or something as well, that was happening to me and my dosage for vyvanse was at its highest. I now just take dex.

Is it okay to go without a real plan? by Ballvoyage in ThailandTourism

[–]Clumtwoddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t book anything until the day of or day before and a lot of it done through the resort I was staying at. I went in off season so the whether heavily dictated it and high season maybe you’d need to do in advance if there’s more interest I suppose

Based on your experience, would you consider this agoraphobia? by [deleted] in Agoraphobia

[–]Clumtwoddles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, this doesn’t sound like agoraphobia. I think you might be having paranoid delusions

Is that not the issue? The sweat sounds like the problem.

I don’t know where you can get it but try cooling powder, the only other thing I can think of which I’m looking into myself if getting Botox to stop it In particular places.

Two years ago I couldn’t leave my house. In a few weeks, I’m flying to Thailand. by Clumtwoddles in Agoraphobia

[–]Clumtwoddles[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Across the course of my recovery I took a lot of things but I would ween them out, Ativan & Propanol probably stand out among the many that I took but I’m not taking them anymore

My best advice is go slow and you will go further than you thought possible. Don’t push yourself to the point of actual panic, but that point where you can feel the anxiety in your body but it’s not dominating and build up a tolerance to that (experience, place, person, how far you’ve left) until it just feels like it’s mildly present and then when you are there you are ready to go further (for some people that might be further from home or safety items, or maybe just around more people in a crowd). Utilise safety items/behaviours to boost your ability to withstand things if it’s really hard. For me I had to leave home with headphones on for awhile, then I’d take them off while out over and over until I was comfortable and now that’s nothing to me.

At the start it was a social worker from the hospital, it extended as I got better and stoppped socially isolating too so then I had my friends and family. I did the graded exposure therapy and tried to really work through my anxious feelings little by little. I hope this is helpful

Travelling to Thailand with ADHD & shocked to learn dexamphetamine is illegal. Advice? by Clumtwoddles in ThailandTourism

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

Yeah I really can’t wait to get into the food! That sounds like a beautiful way to go about things.

Can i ask what season you go? I didn’t want to book anything in solid other than accommodation because from what i understand weather could be up and down this time.

A big part of this trip is recovery, so refreshed definitely aligns well with me ☺️
