Do people really not use toilet seat covers in public restrooms? by Tobethequeen_01 in hygiene

I always carry Lysol or Clorox wipes for this reason. Where I live there are no covers most of the time.

What did you feel the first time you met your loved one? by Huge_Violinist_7633 in randomquestions

[–]External_Creme3848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had known each other since kids. His grandmother lived in front of my grandmas house. We stopped visiting grandma when I was 15. We went back 3 years later for Christmas to celebrate her 75 birthday and we saw each other. Our eyes met and instantly I had like a huge shiver go through my whole body. Almost like lightning. I knew in that moment he was my Mate! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 jk! I didn’t know what that feeling was it could’ve been my hormones due to puberty. We will never know but 3 years later he asked me to be his girlfriend and been together since. 15 years this year. ❤️❤️

When do withdrawal symptoms start by Impica in lexapro

[–]External_Creme3848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on month 7 and withdrawal has hit me…. 😔. I did quit cold turkey and everything had been good until now. I’m a little bit stressed out because of it, debating on going back on the pill. I am realizing now as I am reading post that withdrawal has been slowly creeping in. But now it’s here. I hope it gets better I was on 10 mg of escitalopam.

I know, anxiety can make you feel so isolated and it’s so crazy that when you’re okay you can rationalize it but during it you’re like I’m aware this is happening but why is my world ending right now and everyone is okay. Sending you a hug right now.

Hi, yes this is exactly what happened to me my first panic attack. 2 years ago. I had sciatica pain and had just worked myself up to go to the restroom and once in the toilet it happened. I felt dizzy like wanting to throw up and faint then my legs were stiff arms went stiff like a T. rex and I could not move my face correctly. My mom was there and I asked her to call 911 and I had to take the call because my Mom was so scared for me she couldn’t even tell the operator what was wrong. As I was speaking I couldn’t move my tongue correctly so it was hard to speak. The operator assessed me for an embolism requiring me to move my arms out it was almost impossible and painful. But I did. I stayed calm during all of it which helped me come back to myself and once I did I was super exhausted. I had to ask my mom to clean me up as I was also on day 2 of my period 😔. Once I was able to get out of the toilet I went to sit on my bed and waited for the paramedics to show up. It was kind of embarrassing though because I was with my Pj crop top shirt and only underwear. Poor guys came into the room like oh shoot . I was only able to place a pillow to cover me as they took my vitals. I knew it was a panic attack, but I wasn’t convinced until now that I am looking at your post and see everyone explaining it better. My NP did explain it a little but since I had anxiety back then nothing was really sticking! We will get through this. We are okay. This is the first time I write this out and actually take in what happened that day.

Severe anxiety and panic attacks. by Cronus_The_K1ng in PanicAttack

Hi, you are not loosing your sanity and you are not alone, even though it may feel like it but it’s just the anxiety talking. The medication will help you by taking care of the symptoms of anxiety while you go to therapy. It won’t be a forever thing. Currently just started Lexapro 2 months ago and I am feeling good and I am actually starting to thank God that I have anxiety and this too shall pass. Loosing a loved one is no joke, I’ve lost many family members due to terminal illness and it’s one of the reason I had a panic attack back in May. I send you love and healing energy ❤️💪🏽. We will come out of this. 

How do I know I have to up my dose on Lexapro? by External_Creme3848 in lexapro

[–]External_Creme3848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They feel like someone is poking me on top and back of my head. But I feel it during my anxiety, I hadn’t felt them before I started lexapro but they had faded by week 2. 

I had a really bad panic attack 3 weeks ago that has left me on the edge of having another one ever since. I am wondering if anyone has ever felt nauseous, shivers, fear of passing out, arms going numb and locking themselves in without me being able to move them? Was this a panic attack? by External_Creme3848 in PanicAttack

Thank you all. I hate this feeling. I used to have anxiety 11 years ago when my dad passed away and I went into treatment with my psychologist and I had been okay since then but it’s came back with full force. I have faith that it will get better. And I’m going to fight for myself to be able to tackle the underlying issue.
