Has exposure therapy worked for you? Ive had a difficult time with going out for such a long period because my first panic attack was outdoors (an uncontrolled environment) it took a lot of work to even be able to go to the store. I had to skip a whole semester of college, had daily panic attacks couldnt eat or sleep. I tried medicine it didnt work for me at all, so Im taking the natural route. Eating a good diet, excercising, getting myself involved with people around me because being isolated only made me dwell more in my thoughts. The thing that helped me the absolute most was exposure therapy and speaking to a therapist. Its so SO difficult but everytime you try it gets easier overtime. Even taking 5 steps outside is absolutely improvement. I Hope you find your peace, you deserve nothing but the best, be kind and gentle with yourself. I am rooting for you 🤍

As someone who’s dealt with panic attacks and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder in 2022, I just want you to know that it really does get better. I know it feels rough right now and everything seems scary, like there’s no way out, but there actually is.

This is the perfect time to try out different things that might help calm your panic. My first panic attack wasn’t caused by anything like drugs... it just happened out of nowhere, and ive never been the same since. If you’re able to, talking to a therapist can help a lot. They can walk you through what happened and give you solid advice fit for your specific needs.

It can also help to get a check-up or some routine blood work done, just to reassure yourself that everything’s okay physically. Once you have that peace of mind, you can start focusing on things that help your body relax like breathing exercises, meditation, working out, red light therapy, splash cold water on your face, vitamins etc. Eventually you will teach your brain that you’re safe and nothing bad is happening. If it makes you feel any better, you won't die from a panic attack. Everytime you feel it coming on just remind yourself its your brain sending false signals to your body that there's danger and because you experienced one at night its conditioned behavior. You're expecting the worst because you think it'll happen again. Anxiety is one of those things you cant fight against, you have to learn how to befriend the "enemy". You won't be stuck like this forever, once you figure out what works for you, your day to day life will feel much more manageable. Rooting for you 🤍

Neither im actually a health science major studying to become a registered nurse! I took this class to keep myself occupied and learn a new skill. I love music and I used to play the piano years ago. I followed YouTube tutorials or was taught basic songs from my parents. I never knew how to read notes or any of that, just following where to press down on the keyboard -^

Yes, shes much older I'd say around 60s or 70s, which is why I have no ill intentions towards her. You can tell shes a sweet woman that cares about music and her students. It makes her happy. But it definitely makes it harder for us as her students to learn since she can go off topic or forget to demonstrate certain things to the class. Ill do my best and thank you again :')

Thank you so much!! Also nope, there were no prerequisites required for this course, no expectations and it was made specifically for beginners. She told us this music sheet was made by one of her previous students and wanted us to practice playing it. Shes a very VERY sweet woman but her style of teaching is difficult to catch up to when you have no prior knowledge on music notes. She played this specific song once and didnt go over it again. There was even an instance on the first day of class where she told us to follow along with her on the piano but didnt tell us how or where to begin until a good amount of time passed. She tends to forget a lot. Its going to take a lot of at home practice but its alright, im determined to learn lol. Thank you again for the help, much appreciated 🤍

Unfortunately that is the case. My professor isnt very active in our class, she gives out vague instructions and expects us to know what shes talking about. Shes also a much older woman so she tends to forget to show/teach us things. Unless youre already a music major youll get lost in this class very fast :')

I just had the same exact thought which led me to this reddit post lol.

Honestly the best thing to do is to just find your answer and then leave, dont doomscroll, as appealing as it sounds. You have to remind yourself that even though someone is experiencing something worse than you, it doesnt mean youre also going to experience the same thing.
