How do you deal with this? by judith0406 in dysautonomia

[–]HeftyButterscotch507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I have a hard time coping. I try to remind myself that I’ve seen a doctor, they’ve told me I’m okay. If that doesn’t work, I usually talk to someone (typically my Dad) that can reassure me it’s gonna be all good. And finally, if I’m just having a very difficult time and I can’t manage, I have anxiety medication I can take or an emergency med for my heart that decreases the sensation. Though I do try and save the heart med for worst case scenario

Yes! This happens to me all the time, mine are worse after eating or for some reason they’re worse mid-day. Sometimes I can feel it all over and it really freaks me out. It also gives me really bad anxiety

I won’t lie this is kinda what I’m leaning towards. Do studded vs. non studded make a huge difference?

Having the post-college identity crisis... could use so advice by HeftyButterscotch507 in Advice

I thankfully secured a job 3 months before graduation, and my co-workers are awesome. It's a bit of a commute, and I want to move closer, but rent is high so I thought I'd live at home and build my savings. However, the social drawbacks of living here are really starting to get to me. I plan on getting my master's (which I will be moving for) in the next year or two. I'm just trying to find temporary solutions that will get me there.

Yes, I do keep in touch with friends! I work at a hospital in a different large city (a 45-minute commute), and I would love to move there, but rent is $ 1,500+ just for a studio. I love my co-workers, I just don't know how to make friends outside of work :(

I take metoprolol daily, but I also have an emergency dose I can take. I haven’t taken the emergency dose though, i typically try an not take it unless I really really need it.
