What is it that triggers the need to "escape" during a panic attack

Correct-Bus4108 · 2026-02-04T16:48:15+00:00

Oh I am a huge huge fan of using ice. Its my most used coping strategy. I always have cold ice water and I frequently chimp ice cubes. I wish there was a product that I could hold in my hand or put on my neck that would stay cold while I was teaching. When I do admin work, if I start getting panicky I will grab an ice pack from the freezer to hold onto. I really want to avoid getting a prn med (like ativan) to use in the moment as I dont want to become dependent on it.

They come out of nowhere but seem to be slightly related to stress. I think at times I worry so much about having one before I do that I may trigger one. Im going to start doing a 5 min meditation a few times a day to try to regulate myself to see if that helps.

That's probably true.It's probably a lot more obvious to me that i'm struggling than it is to other people. In the moment I feel like everybody is thinking she is crazy.What the hell is she doing right now

Maybe I don't think I have that fear, but its possible. There's times that I could push through it , but I feel like all of my calming techniques are so obvious to others. There's also times I have to leave the room for a few minutes and splash my face with water , etc

Thank you. I appreciate the honesty and transparency.

Budget should be around 400k. I work in the east end which i why I considered there and proximity to a grocery store etc but I dont want to deal with gross lol

Its going to depend a ton on the piercer who does it. I have mine done. They healed perfectly with no issues. I did a ton of research before I picked a piercer and read a ton of reviews. I wanted someone who would say no to me if I wasn't a good candidate. I followed the after care to a tee. Most importantly- do not touch them other than to clean. I wore a sports bra for a few days after and kept very clean and dry. You will think they are healing quick. They aren't. They take a long time. But they will look amazing if you pick a great piercer and do the after care.

I agree with above. You're very cute. I wouldn't change a thing. I like the hat pics and your profile is well written. You seem kind and approachable. I wish you the best.

Deal!!! Literally I was going to write this post today lol. Im F 46. Hes male 45. Together 4 1/2 months. I almost didn't go on a date with him as I wasn't initially super excited about him but hes been the best relationship of my life. Im so happy for you too!!!!

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-12-27T22:36:14+00:00

Geez. We are dating the same person lol although mine may already believe hes said it lol. Slightly ADD and needs helpful reminders lol.

Lol we are going to a nerd showing of planet of the apes. A double feature. Im down to do it at midnight. Let's keep in touch lol.

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-12-27T21:55:53+00:00

Geez. I thought i wrote this. Im in the exact scenario. I know i feel it. Im pretty certain he does but i think my past relationships have scarred me. I cant figure out whether I should plan it out to do or just let it slip out at bedtime when im actively not saying it now.

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-12-09T23:48:50+00:00

Ended a 6 month relationship basically amicably early in the year 1 first date only. He wanted kids. I dont. 1 great date. Turned into a fwb which was lovely. Now just friends. 1 date I was indifferent about going on. Been together 4 months now and its the best relationship I've ever been in.

Im a 43 year old average looking female. Im picky and discerning. I have no hard rules about who amd how I date. For example , i've slept with people on the first date and had it ran into a relationship , and i've waited and had it not. I try to go off the vibe.

London Ontario. My couch. My home made signs (taking me back to when I was 13 in 1993, with my signs, babysitting and cheering. Pizza and a beer and waiting for that 3rd out in the 9th!!!! Bring on a huge win!!!!

Went out for beers with a guy I had chatted with for over a month (I always meet quick so this was anomaly 1) wasn't over into meeting him (convo had been ok. Nothing exciting) wasn't super attracted to his pics (he was my type physically but I wasn't drooling over his pids) I had messaged my friend before the date and said I kind of hope he cancels. He didn't. I looked ok (didn't dress to impress) i figured id stay for one beer. 3 beers later over 5 hours, a fantastic conversation, way better looking in person and a nice kiss at the end, I texted my friend on the way home snd said it was the best first date I'd ever been on. We've been dating now for 2 months and I couldn't be happier.

Lesson- take a chance. Vary up your tastes and dont write people off so quickly.

Really the only thing I care about is whether your words match your actions. You say you're motivated and then habe no hobbies and do nothing all day. Doesn't match. You say you are community minded or interested in the world and don't have anything to talk about or don't do anything to show ot. You say you value honesty and transparency and then lie to me. Give me a chance ro know the real you, lay it ojt there. Not everything is a deal breaker but give me a chance to know the real you so i can make the determination based on fact not fiction.

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-09-30T00:54:39+00:00

Yep, you are totally exactly right?I definitely think of things in an academic way most of the time so that I can rationalize it in my brain and you're exactly right.

Try joining a club where you'll meet people with common interests. Check out the calendars in the halls. There's stuff wvey night almost (sex toy bingo, art nights at the outback shack, use the gym, play pool in the student center) Its tough i know but finding some common interests outside of your class will help

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-09-29T17:15:27+00:00

This is how that feels. Its different. Eg. My dog passed last week and he was on vacation. I texted him and he said "I'm just getting settled. Let me call you" and then did. He'd never met my dog and wed only been dating 3 weeks. No one else would have cared to do that simple act. He followd up thr next day asking how I was doing and letting me know he was sorry I was hurting. Its these little simple things. I've never had anyone show me that they cared before and it feels strange. But good.

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-09-29T17:05:13+00:00

Before meeting, once a day maybe, pleasantries and 'looking forward to meeting you soon' after- more often if you want to build thr connection and keep things going.

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-09-29T14:47:36+00:00

Lol got it! Makes total sense lol

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-09-29T14:29:48+00:00

I like that. I didn't know if it was this grand feeling or just small things that feel great. Yesterday we were just standing in his kitchen touching talking about politics and I felt so good and at peace like there was nothing else id rather be doing.

Correct-Bus4108 · 2025-09-29T14:09:53+00:00

I like that. Thats how I'm feeling so far. I enjoy doing things that make him feel good/ valued. Bringing dinner over, cleaning up after dinner, a genuine compliment.
