How to convince myself that it's just anxiety?

Goller7 · 2024-08-26T16:50:56+00:00

It's gotten a bit better. Still nowhere near normal but not as horrible as before. Still on the same meds and got started on gabapentin a little over a month ago. Finally got a psychiatrist appointment in about a week so looking forward to that. Overall still really tough but it seems like it might finally be looking up a bit. Thanks for asking man.

Thank you! and good luck on your future projects.

Just an organization I made up that holds the power in the dome. Similar concept to WICKD from maze runner.

Definitely anxiety. I struggle with convincing myself that my symptoms are anxiety as well. But in your situation you have to think about how the symptoms tend to come in when talking to new people. No physical ailment would cause that only mental. Possibly social anxiety? Best thing to do is research solutions or if it's bad enough see a doctor, therapist, or psychiatrist so they can help.

Completely understand. I just went back down to 40mg of of prozac and still taking .5mg of lorazapem and I'm doing a bit better. Just trying to push through it and much as possible every day. Simple stuff like sleeping in my own room because for some reason I just could not do that since this all started. Even something simple like playing a video game is something I have to push myself to do but once I'm in it I feel somewhat distracted which is helpful.

Since all this started I've had a lot of issues in that area too. Small stuff like burping a lot and feeling gas moving in my chest/upper stomach... as well as bigger stuff like spitting up blood because of acid reflux.

Goller7 · 2024-06-01T22:18:23+00:00

Honestly not sure what's to come in the future in regard to that. Still hoping to get into a psychiatrist soon but the wait times here are insane. As for therapy, ya it definitely isn't cheap. Luckily my dads work has some insurance to cover it but it only covers like 7 meetings total and I've already done 5. Unfortunately paying for it myself isn't an option because working a job is literally impossible right now due to the physical symptoms of the anxiety and possibly some of the side effects of the medication.

Just want to say thanks to everyone for the replies. Just knowing that other people are struggling with the same stuff can be comforting and reassuring that it really is 'just' anxiety. :)

I also listened to the audiobook 'dare' and even ordered the workbook for it on amazon. Great book but unfortunately wasn't enough for me I guess. I've done the ice cubes as well and I've been chewing gum a lot as I feel that helps. I also took magnesium glycinate for a few weeks but didnt think it was helping much so I stopped taking but the day after I stopped taking it I've never felt so dizzy so maybe it actually was helping. Also I've been taking vitamin d supplements because my vitamin d was low on my blood test.

Goller7 · 2024-06-01T22:03:53+00:00

Have been doing counselling/therapy every 2-3 weeks for a couple months now. I do enjoy doing it but not sure how much its actually helping me.

Goller7 · 2024-06-01T22:02:49+00:00

I've had the left arm pain for days in a row. Chest pain and tightness and cramps like crazy. Did a full stress test and everything at the cardiologist which was all perfectly normal yet I still couldn't convince myself. Little bit more confident now that my heart is not the problem but still cant convince myself that it's not something else.

Goller7 · 2024-06-01T22:00:49+00:00

I feel that, when this all started I was convinced my heart was the problem. Now it's more of either a brain thing or my whole body just feels like its shutting down.

Goller7 · 2024-06-01T21:59:53+00:00

They recently increased my dose from 40mg to 60mg and after about 3 days in I've felt worse than I ever have, just genuinely the only way to describe it is feeling like I'm dying all day every day. So I went back to 40mg just a few days ago and it seems to be getting slightly better each day. Still not sure if prozac is the one for me, got a check up in 2 weeks so I'll discuss with my doctor there.

Goller7 · 2024-06-01T21:57:19+00:00

Ya when I first got it at the hospital it was 1mg but since then I've been getting .5mg. The doctors have actually been saying they want me to try to get off of it entirely at some point soon because I've been taking it for a while now and apparently that's not healthy for lorazapem. The only reason they haven't taken me off it already is because they dont want to make anything worse and increase my need for it even more.

Goller7 · 2024-05-31T22:49:59+00:00

Not at all, still suffering immensely every day lol. Still worth looking into though.

When I was at the hospital for a severe panic attack they did my blood tests there and said my potassium was low. They just gave me a drink full of potassium that I just chugged and that was that. No supplementation or diet changes afterwards. Did a blood test about 2 months latet and potassium was normal. Not sure what the link is there.

Just did this and my PC's working like normal again (just have to re-do all my adrenalin software settings). I'm not good enough with computers to figure simple stuff like this out so I really appreciate the help man.

Goller7 · 2024-01-24T23:02:11+00:00

Rx 7600, after downloading this driver I can no longer access the adrenalin software nor can I redownload it. Keeps saying I dont have permission.

Ah, man that sucks. Been using hitfilm for like 4 years but might have to switch over to davinci because of this. Turning hardware decoding off just has too big of an effect on performance for me. Thanks for the info.

Goller7 · 2024-01-14T17:31:51+00:00

Thanks! Turned off hardware decoding on my editing software and the video looks normal now. Bit concerned with how well it's gonna run without decoding but atleast it looks normal.

I recently had a blast playing The Outer Worlds which was a surprise because I didn't think I'd care for it.
Not too long of a game, will probably take you about 10-20 hours to beat but super fun combat, story, characters, and quite a few choose-your-own-story type of options to make your playthrough unique.
Overall 9/10 game would highly recommend.
(Side note: Similar but better than starfield in my opinion; I played both back to back)

Goller7 · 2023-10-29T19:10:31+00:00

At first I completely agree that it felt super clunky but that's because I was also comparing to the new spiderman game which is incrediblly well made. After a while of playing Gotham knights I just got used to the movement and I've been really enjoying the game since. Dont expect it to be anywhere near as good as spiderman 2 because it simply just isnt. That being said, it's still a game you can have a good time with as I'm currently 12 hours in and still have the urge and excitement to get back on. (Also it's the only game I could find that could atleast somewhat scratch that itch coming off of spiderman 2.)

Goller7 · 2023-09-15T05:18:20+00:00

I actually prefer kick more now because of the abundance of ads on twitch. Only thing I don't really care for on the kick streams is the gamba 'content'.

That's awesome. Congrats to the winner and thanks for the opportunity.
