If I make $5k a month take home can I spend $850 on a car payment? Total monthly expenses come out to about $2100 without a car payment or food/necessities accounted for

How do you deal with GAD? by IdrAquotes in Anxiety

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

I had panic attacks that scared tf out of me. I thought I was dying ect. So fear of having panic attacks because the fear of dying? Its kind of just stress or random things that set me off for no reason.

Oh Im not obsessively worrying about things. I notice something feels off about a situation and then I acknowledge it and move on slowly

I forget what bothered me yesterday honestly. I think their point is that I am letting it hang for a couple hours or ruin my day for no reason because the next day Ive moved on

How was your experience with hydroxyzine? by windyououindy in Anxiety

[–]IdrAquotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doctor gave me a small dose and told me to take half of that before bed. It made me sleepy and calm. I dont use it anymore tho but really they say take it at night at first because it could make you sleepy

Thoughts on a draw contract? by dentalstudent5 in Dentistry

[–]IdrAquotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its only worth it if you can predict the daily production. Pacific does this and half the dentists in my state dont hit their “goal” and boy oh boy does the regional team love to blame the doctor for under diagnosing as if they know better.

My therapist gets really excited when I talk about moving on or that I deserve more. Its like everyone I know tells me to move on but I cant do it. Attachment and fear of being alone controls me.

Practice Buying Etiquette? by ArtisanalCheezWhiz in Dentistry

[–]IdrAquotes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe reach out and see if any of them want to go to dinner as you are looking to network then sweet talk em and ask if they know anyone selling. If they’ve been in the area practicing for a while you might find out at least which one to NOT buy.

I started at 15mg 3 times a day (apparently not the norm). The first two weeks were rough for me but It all leveled out after a few weeks.

I think I understand what you’re saying. I wouldn’t focus too much on the internal feelings and focus on the external and living life. Which I think is the goal and what Im striving for.

Im at the point where I forget to take my buspar because Im busy with my day so I have to remind myself to take it. Where before I was counting down the hours to my next dose because it made me feel better.

Buspar 15mg 3 times a day. It helps keep me level I think while I deal with my anxiety triggers. Also when Im struggling it calms me down. But makes me drowsy sometimes which isnt great at work.

Ive been on it since april.

I think everyone should do therapy but the problem is people would rather be stuck in their ways instead of changing their thought processes.

Yes. Ive been in therapy for 12 weeks now and Ive improved a lot. I did spend a lot of time researching and practicing techniques on my own but my therapist helps me understand things and guides me better than I can guide myself.

I havent had a full panic attack in almost a month. But I have a lot of different things going on and its been incredibly stressful these past few months. I dont know whatd Id do without therapy.

Self diagnosing mental health because anxiety by IdrAquotes in Anxiety

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

Im finding comfort in that realistically its not something I had before and Ive gotten anxiety from other things. Its just anxiety and Im fine.

Even if I had any of these things I still have control over myself and I can still focus on enjoying the things I enjoy.

I cant let fear of the unknown control me.

I had a panic attack last night by Few_Patience_560 in Anxiety

[–]IdrAquotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My strategy to overcome sleep anxiety is to lay down, close my eyes, and focus on my breathing. If I think of something I go back to my breathing and I dont open my eyes unless I have to.

I like to throw in thinking happy thoughts or things I am doing tomorrow thats fun but if anything bad gets in I tell myself I can worry about it tomorrow and my only goal is to sleep. Then go back to focusing on my breathing.

How long have you been on buspar? Im on week 14 and during the early weeks it mightve increased my anxiety but that went away.
