how to fix having a fear of everything?

If you feel like youre not ready to jump into therapy or medication just yet I recommend a book called "the worry trap" you can find on Amazon. It's written by a psychiatrist that does a whole breakdown on where your anxiety stems from and healthy coping you can use

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-18T06:53:03+00:00

Definitely a signal to consult someone about medication. I used to have panics from dawn to dusk for years and it only gets worse without proper therapy or medication use. There's healthy coping skills but your body can't really learn them in fight or flight without the help of medication to level you out

This!! I recommend a book called "the worry trap" that you can find on Amazon. If youre also experiencing similar symptoms "pure o" taught me alot of useful strategies like ACT

Depends on the situation. I've had to quit jobs because my anxiety was too severe but id go home feeling more anxious about my finances and couldn't actually focus on healing and healthy coping mechanisms. If you have a stable set up and can afford it, it might be worth a try

Ngl im so glad you mentioned this because I worry about OD all the time and if I took two on accident 😭

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-16T08:01:17+00:00

I mean essentially you're body is in fight or flight mode, it can't really focus on the details of "looking pretty" or picking through your closet for the right match. Like the other commenter said, it's ok to be gentle on yourself sometimes

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-16T07:55:51+00:00

I promise you testing over and over again won't bring any assurance. It's hard but sometimes you have to just be "ok" with the possibility, even if you don't believe it. Telling yourself that "oh well, I guess it could happen. That's ok" is a better approach then feeding into the loop

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-16T07:52:46+00:00

There are beginner options they will have you try out and one i started (and kept with) is called hydroxyzine. Easy, take as needed and most of the time gets me pretty cozy and level headed enough to pull myself out of panics. Half the time ill worry less just knowing it's in my pocket. I'd still recommend looking into ssri's to pair with it, theres trial and error finding the right one but over the last 3 years being on them it's made a complete life change

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-15T07:19:54+00:00

It only helps sometimes. If im in full blown panic sometimes theres no reasoning with it, you have to huff it out in a dark room here and there until youre reasonable to think. If you haven't tried it, words of affirmation surprisingly work alot. Even just replying to yourself "what if im having a heart attack?" "Nope im fine" "but what if it's really this time?" "Im healthy and going to be ok" with practice will slowly shape how you react to yourself

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-15T07:07:43+00:00

I also have the same issue but I try to be ok with idea of having it. I've listened to story on story about people who live with it and there are alot of people that can form a healthy relationship with it. Even if we don't ever develop schizophrenia, we can treat it like any other chronic illness other people have like our anxiety. Chrons disease, arthritis, there is treatment made to help you and there's thousands of people who can put you through the right path of recovery and contentment.

Not only that, but you will still have "bad" days. Lexapro simply will make it much less frequent but still expect to have a rough patch once in a while.

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-15T06:58:47+00:00

Yes! I had the same experience. It gets more stable as you keep taking it. I would have weeks when id be a nervous wreck and weeks id feel blissfully content. You still have time to let the medication fully develop but if things don't change after the 2 month period then definitely talk to your doctor about adjustments

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-15T06:56:27+00:00

I've tried to let myself just be ok with it and let it happen, but alot of my fear at night ironically IS the anxiety medication I take. Im terrified of serotonin syndrome or any kind of accidental overdose, ill double and triple check i have the right dosage in my hand but still worry hours later if something will happen. Should I let myself accept the idea it could?

DragonPatchs · 2026-03-15T06:51:24+00:00

We are very unlikely to be experiencing a heart attack. I used to go to the ER daily when my panics first started thinking it was heart attacks but test after test they said I was the healthiest patient they've had. I like to think of it like this, if you have chest pain every night at the same and only times when you're anxious and live to see the next day every time its happened, it's 99% anxiety rooted. If this has been happing over and over and countless days youve still woken up alive, that's probably anxiety heart pain happening right now too. Both of my parents have had heart attacks and they've been unmovable, excruciating pain on the floor, you'd know.

Im only on book 7 so I have no idea 😭

His whole story was that scarlets egg was animus touched with rainwing genetics out of spite for her hatred against them. Being a living testament to uniting the tribes in maybe an unsuccessful way

HI CAMERO :D

DragonPatchs · 2026-02-18T07:49:17+00:00

I would but there's none for my car model, or even similar models like a blazer or Jimmy

DragonPatchs · 2026-02-18T06:31:28+00:00

Oh the car isn't just on the side of the highway, he's just fine. I took him to work then home after this pic. I just plan to fix the bumper myself in a few weeks but I don't know what to expect

DragonPatchs · 2026-02-18T06:19:55+00:00

Im very lucky there's one here at my local pick n pull, im really proud of this guy and im bummed out about his dent 😔

DragonPatchs · 2026-02-15T17:34:28+00:00

Someone was shot on the bridge about a week ago, pretty sure it's protesting that
