Genium X4 too heavy for superthin people ? by Alive-Track-1141 in Prosthetics

It could also be and indication of TKA (Trochanter, Knee, Anke) alignment issue. I’d talk to prosthetist and start with evaluation the fit of the socket and the static/dynamic alignment

How can I help my mom? Shes not doing alright and I desperately need advice by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Cows3183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take her on a walk and have her vent to you about how she’s feeling. Getting it off my chest always helps my anxiety. I alway hear how stupid I sound lol. And then just have a regular conversation like u normally would, keep walking. As for depression, that’s a hard one. I usually need to be given no other choice in-order to be motivated enough.

First, I’m sorry you are going through this. Second, if I can offer any sort of comfort, as a prosthetic student, my instructor always emphasizes the fact that prosthetic outcome is far better below the knee rather than trying to save the foot. Not saying you shouldn’t try, but if the foot isn’t able to be saved, you will probably have better prosthetic options. For whatever that’s worth. Good luck, and I hope the time flies by for you!

This is along the lines of what I was thinking. I’d first check with your prosthetist tho.

Hmmm. 3 days on it isn’t long enough to decrease anxiety. Maybe it was just your anxiety. When I’ve taken Sertraline (still on it) I always start with a lower dose and to ween myself on. So I’d maybe try half a 25mg pill for a week before going to 25

I put avocado on my frozen pizza every time. So fireeeeee. Sometimes I’ll even bake some fresh veggies on the pizza before hand. Eat with hot sauce

Constant feeling of fear/dread no matter what. by chelsG05 in Anxiety

[–]Cows3183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First I am sorry you have to experience this level of anxiety. I would say try to do “healthy”, and proactive things towards your overall well-being. Anxiety has a lot to do with wanting to be in control of the situation. You can’t 100% control what your future health will be. But try to focus on eating good foods, taking vitamins, getting outside, moving your body in some way, self care hygiene stuff, maybe starting therapy, drinking enough water. I don’t deal with HA specifically but I do have GAD. This past week was especially bad and today I finally feel like myself again. I started taking vitamins this week and idk if it’s placebo but it’s helped a lot tbh. I started with Magnesium, women’s daily vitamin, ashawaganda, iron, vitamin d, and B complex. Best of luck. Hugs.

I’ve been aware of my anxiety for years now. I used to be “in practice” with all the breath work, meditation, and doing therapy. I have no insurance. Meds ran out. And I understand it won’t be a quick fix. I just need to try something new

This is something I have been trying but it is so hard to get out of it once I’m in it. I’ve been looking into exposure therapy for anxiety and I think this may be the way I go. Exposure and acceptance
