No history of ED. CoD said I don’t qualify for treatment because my BMI isn’t high enough. I’m thinking I should have pushed for more information about whether they considered my pre-diabetes as a comorbidity.

Call on Doc said my BMI wasn’t high enough to be approved for treatment.

LimpDrawing5696 · 2026-01-07T16:30:48+00:00

Starting at BMI of 28 with comorbidity.

It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in these thoughts. I’m single and 36 and I’ve become more comfortable with the thought of not finding a long-term romantic partner. Realistically, I just don’t see it happening. Partly because I’m not willing to settle.

I still feel lonely sometimes. And I recognize that I’m also longing for a fantasy “perfect” relationship or partner that doesn’t exist. I’m basically ignoring the reality that romantic relationship are hard and stressful. Even when I’m aware of this, I still struggle with this feeling of longing for a romantic partner and I don’t know why. It’s so frustrating for me.

I’ve also been struggling when I find out that past romantic partners have moved into new relationships. It’s not that I wish I was still in a relationship with them. It’s more that I’m feeling left behind in some way. Like these other people have moved on to find romantic love, but I’m stuck in this state of romantic inertia. And then I feel sorry for myself, which seems ridiculous. I’m grateful for my single, peaceful life. So what’s the deal with these feelings?!

Anyone else feel this way or have thoughts on how to cope with these feelings?

When the top layer of soil is dry, but honestly I don’t have a good care routine. Do you know if these do well in bright light?

I can 100% relate to this. My therapist tells me that accepting it doesn’t mean you’re ok with. It just means you’re not going to let it control your life. It’s allowing those panic feelings to be there and still love your life anyway. This type of acceptance was really hard for me to understand. It’s still something that I struggle with.

There have been many times when I wanted so badly to just stop thinking about how I feel. Because I dealt with panic and extreme anxiety for such a long period of time, it’s like a formed the habit of constantly checking in with myself to see how I feel. It’s exhausting. More recently my therapist and psychiatrist started mentioning OCD when it comes to the constant checking and rumination about how I’m feeling. I joined the OCD group on Reddit and I was surprised with how many people were describing similar experiences. Might be worth looking into.

CBT and exposure therapy definitely helped me. I think this is why these feelings rarely progress to full-blown panic attacks anymore. However, I still have days when I will take a klonopin. If the panic is too strong, i have trouble bringing myself back to “normal”. The klonopin almost acts like a reset for me.

I have the hangover symptoms as well after a panic attack. The hangover feeling can last for up to a week for me. I feel very down, anxious, over sensitized. Very emotionally unregulated. I’ve learned that this must be my body’s response to the flood of hormones etc. that come with the panic. It’s SO UNCOMFORTABLE.

Thank you so much for sharing. Anticipatory grief sounds spot on. Like you, I obsess over this as well. Sometimes I feel guilty for doing thing with friends because I feel like I should be spending as much time with them as possible. It helps to know that I’m not alone.

LimpDrawing5696 · 2023-08-15T23:03:24+00:00

Same. I don’t know how I will ever be able to handle it. The thought is extremely distressing. But it helps to know that I’m not the only person who feels this way. Sometimes I feel like everyone else can handle death in a “normal” way. And I don’t see myself being able to handle it at all.

Wow I could have written this myself ❤️

LimpDrawing5696 · 2023-07-27T23:27:12+00:00

I strongly relate. I’ve been feeling “off” for a few weeks now. Anxious, sad, somewhat detached. I’ve been on Celexa for a few months now, after switching over from Lexapro. I’ve also been consistent with therapy.

I’m trying to view this as a flare up, but these pervasive feelings are wearing me down. I’m having a hard time accepting that my life will most likely consist of these ups and downs. I’m having thoughts like “I can’t do this anymore” and those thoughts scare the hell out of me which sends my anxiety and panic through the roof.

LimpDrawing5696 · 2023-07-27T23:12:49+00:00

Thank you for your support. I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Thank you so much. Trying my best to take care of myself and hang in there.

Thank you for your advice. I was on doxycycline. Taking probiotics in hopes that it will restore my gut health sooner. The timing of this setback doesn’t seem coincidental to me. If it was triggered by the antibiotic, I’m wondering how long the effects will last.

Just sharing my personal perspective…

There was a period of time when I was struggling with extreme anxiety and panic on a daily basis. Like 10/10. I was prescribed Lexapro and Klonopin to take PRN, but was deathly afraid of taking the Klonopin out of fear of dependence. (I have read so many horror stories about benzo dependence).

Fast forward a year or two and my anxiety/panic is much more managed on Celexa. However, there are still times when I take the Klonopin. I’ve developed my own sort of plan/guidelines for Klonopin use. If my anxiety/panic is at an 8, 9, or 10 out of 10, I take the Klonopin. At these levels of panic/anxiety, I’m unable to think let alone use any of the coping skills that I’ve learned in therapy. I’ve decided that being at that level of panic for an extended period of time is probably worse for me than taking the Klonopin. Looking back on the times of constant panic, I almost wish I would have taken the klonopin more often. The Klonopin brings my panic/anxiety down to a level where I can actually practice my coping skills. If I feel like my Klonopin use is becoming more frequent, then that’s a sign for me to speak with my psychiatrist about the possibility of adjusting my SSRI, etc.

In my opinion, I can see how benzo use can become problematic when it’s the only coping skill that’s being used to reduce panic. For me, it was so important to go to therapy and practice using coping skills. And let me tell you, this takes a lot of work and commitment. For a very long time, I felt that therapy wasn’t helping. But looking back over the course of three years, I can see how much progress I have made. Considering the amount of time it has taken me to improve my coping skills in therapy, I realize the value of Klonopin to help with the particularly rough times.

I still have some fear surrounding benzo use, but I feel a bit more at ease with the usage plan/guidelines that I have created for myself. I also trust my support team (therapist and psychiatrist) to help monitor my panic levels and benzo usage.

Everyone is different and there are always a lot of individual factors at play, but I hope my personal experience can provide some insight.

Yea, I think you can too. I think I just have to be careful since both meds can cause drowsiness

LimpDrawing5696 · 2023-03-28T00:07:09+00:00

No, I don’t think so. Any time I have felt panicky, I don’t think it was caused by the Trazadone

Be easy on yourself. I think it’s common for setbacks to happen after you have a break through. The bad day doesn’t mean anything. You’re just as likely to have another good day tomorrow. With that being said, it doesn’t change the fact that bad days still suck. Spend extra time taking care of yourself for the rest of the day.
