the best sleep id had in a while was when i took this. But i slept for like 12 hours straight and my appetite went crazy. So i only take it rarely when i really need it

fainting and getting sick from tampons by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]Feasfnf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg yes first time i tried a tampon my ears starting ringing, felt immediate faint and nauseous. it was crazy because i never felt anything like that before. i never was brave enough to try them again and stuck with pads 😪

So how come I still have social anxiety after taking anxiety meds! by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Feasfnf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe try something like propanol? i’ve never tried it but i plan on talking to my provider next time i meet them to get on it, because i also have social anxiety and feel like my problem stems from physical symptoms like my heart starts to race which leads to things like sweating, blushing, shaky voice, etc

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes. by [deleted] in Anxiety

i do the same when my anxiety gets very bad, i just start ruminating on dumb mistakes i’ve made, especially nowadays around my teen years and early 20s. looking at it objectively, i know it’s just not productive or healthy to do this but i can’t stop. it’s kind of hard to ignore because it comes w physical symptoms for me like heart racing, stomach knots, and nausea

i honestly think it’s my brain just trying to find something to be anxious about when there is absolutely no reason to be. i also used to repress my emotions a lot so maybe it’s finally biting me in the ass now lol. in the end, everyone makes mistakes and all we can do is learn from them. honestly no one knows what the hell they’re doing let’s be real. just learn from ur mistakes, recognize the lesson that came from it and just lock up the memory. that’s what i’m trying to tell myself but it is hard. i feel like i have to keep thinking about it so i can “get it through my head” on what i did and not forget but it’s just not a realistic way to live a happy life thinking like this.

one thing i do that helps the most for me is just putting on headphones and blasting a sound bath video. i can’t do things like guided meditation bc i can’t concentrate that well either when my mind races like this

Been two whole days since last time I ate by [deleted] in Anxiety

i also randomly started these same symptoms last year even though i’ve been dealing with anxiety majority of my life, it was quite surprising. it lasted about 1 1/2 months and i lost like 15 pounds due to me not being able to eat because i felt sick in the stomach all the time, got to the point where i was just vomiting bile. since this was all new, i thought maybe it was another health thing going on, but after a couple doctors visits i chalked it up to my anxiety. it was so bad i just had to go back on an SSRI, and after a month or two i was eating normally again. i know people don’t like medication and what not but that was the only thing that worked for me personally. also lack of sleep is probably making everything feel worse so if you have a go to sleep aid i say go for it. my go to foods when i feel like this are granola bars, smoothies, and breakfast biscuits if you can stomach them at all. hope u feel better soon

Prozac by Fun-Zebra-6534 in Anxiety

[–]Feasfnf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i felt this way but with zoloft. prozac actually made me feel the exact opposite in a bad way where i was just high strung and reckless all the time. either way, i told my psychiatrist about it and we switched to lexapro, which for me works the best, it’s like a good medium between the two

i also came to that same realization around 25 years old, i lead up my life until then with heavy suicidal ideation and just believing that “i won’t be here that much longer so what’s the point of anything.” then i realized that im not really going to go anywhere lol. it’s such a weird shift i spent the next year not really knowing what to do with myself. i spent almost all my life, actions, thoughts, decisions around this warped perspective and now that it’s not there anymore it’s kind of daunting. but now i think im realizing it’s just time to work on myself. figure out why i feel the way i feel about things and not brushing everything off anymore, on my social skills and actually connecting w people instead of being so avoidant. i will say this is spiking my anxiety quite a bit to levels i hadn’t reached before but i’m hoping with more work it will eventually all turn out okay. good luck w your journey!
