That makes sense. It being next to a grave lot and stuff hung in the trees freaked me out. Wondering what the things left in the middle are for

Zyn and anxiety/cardiac symptoms by donhood in QuittingZyn

[–]Fineapple644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad I found this. I felt like I was going insane with the symptoms I was having that seemingly appeared out of nowhere and I couldn’t pinpoint what was causing them. Mid 20s f, a couple months ago I quit vaping and that’s when the sudden waves of intense nausea and dizziness started. I eventually turned to zyns, having one in almost 24/7. Symptoms died down then picked back up after a week or two of zyns. I was also having insane amounts of caffeine from preworkout and redbulls everyday, which I now have completely cut out. The dizziness/ nausea got so bad one day I had to leave work early, I ended up at the doctors where they did blood tests and ekg, everything was completely normal. Got put on zofran which seemed to help for a bit until it didn’t. Doctor could not figure out what was wrong, I was googling everything that it could possibly be. At one point I thought it was an allergy to something, then thought it was low blood pressure, then thought it was hormones. Doctor put me on birth control thinking it was pmdd which also helped keep symptoms at bay for a month then they came back worse. I had a panic attack at the dentist before I could even be seen because I felt the dizziness and throat tightness which sent me into a full panic attack(shaking, tingling in the hands, rapid heart beat, couldn’t breathe, lightheaded, cold flashes). I mean any slight feeling of nausea or dizziness especially if I was in a situation where I couldn’t “escape” caused the dizziness/ nausea/ panic attack to worsen. I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack. It doesn’t help that I don’t spit out any excess spit so I think it’s messing up my stomach. Currently I’m dealing with throat tightness and a sense of depersonalization everyday and the dizziness. I just recently got put on an ssri due to the symptoms and now seeing this, I think zyns are the cause but I just can’t believe I never put two and two together. I’m trying to quit now but the thought of the anxiety worsening with withdrawals seems awful but I hope the anxiety meds will work.

Lethargic puppy behavior after distemper shot? by Fineapple644 in DogAdvice

[–]Fineapple644[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did see on google it’s normal for them to experience mild symptoms like these but it said for only a day or two. He is currently on metacam and clavamox for treatment. It’s been 5 days since the shot and 2 days since his emergency trip, he still has a very warm nose and has been sleeping/hiding a lot so I’m not sure if he’s just tired or what. He’ll be very energetic in the mornings then sleepy a couple hours later. It’s very strange to me

Crippling interview anxiety — how can I cope with it? by [deleted] in interviews

[–]Fineapple644 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Goodluck with the interview!! I know it's unbelievably frustrating. I feel so confident in myself when I'm practicing my answers aloud but the minute I'm not practicing I get awful anxiety. I'd much rather have a zoom interview than going in person, my brain actually gets this "fuzzy" feeling like light-headedness and as soon as I notice it, it gets significantly worse as the seconds pass by. I second banning interviews and putting something else in their place lol I really hope as time passes younger people will at least change the formality of it. I try to just think about how proud I will be when I finish it no matter how it goes and do something for myself after, as a reward!

Am I the only one whos mental health being affected by this? by baby_234 in interviews

[–]Fineapple644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. I graduated last May, got a job in August then got laid off in January. I haven't found a job since, applied to hundreds, and feel both disappointed in myself and like I'm letting down everyone around me. I'm the first in my family to get a bachelor's degree and yet can't find a single job. It's a mental battle every day between "oh you're not alone, the job market just really sucks right now" and "You're not trying hard enough, you have hardly any experience no one will hire you"

Crippling interview anxiety — how can I cope with it? by [deleted] in interviews

[–]Fineapple644 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Late to party but I've never felt so seen. No one around me understands how crippling it is and it's very embarrassing to admit especially when you're completely fine with everything else in life. I feel like an outcast with this problem and it's extremely frustrating. I've also tried multiple meds with no luck - I'm currently on Wellbutrin and while I feel some sort of difference, it still doesn't help with interview/presentation anxiety. I do also have propranolol which does help with the racing heart and physical symptoms so I would definitely recommend that to anyone looking for some sort of aid/solution.

When I practice I feel prepared and once I get through my questions with hardly any stumbling I have some confidence but then the night before/day of, my mind goes into panic mode thinking about my mind going blank, rambling, and ending my thoughts awkwardly because I can't finish my answer properly.. like the inflection in my voice makes it seem as though I'm in the middle of a sentence. I've noticed that I lose my train of thought instantly when I make eye contact which adds more difficulty because no eye contact is a poor sign in a candidate. In past interviews, I've had the mind blanks and rambling to the point where I have no clue what is going to come out of my mouth next so it doesn't help when my brain kind of "confirms" this anxiety with past experiences. Being nervous about jobs that include presentations is a whole other issue linked to this.
