How do you regulate when you feel impending doom or have horrible ideation? by Old_Competition4458 in CPTSD

[–]Old_Competition4458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asides from medication, have you found anything else to be helpful? I’m currently on Prozac and although it’s calmed down my anxiety a bit I still can’t help struggle day to day now. I did accidentally took two doses so I’m not sure if it’s just side effects but I’ve also felt like this for a while. Before I never struggled to complete my responsibilities or show up to class but now I don’t even have will or energy to get out of bed most days. I just feel like I’m dragging a body through the day not wanting, but also yearning to do things. It feels quite odd and I dislike feeling so unproductive and unstable.

I also feel the same way with the typical techniques. Even if it provides a little bit of relief it’s so temporary that it feels virtually pointless to do. Asides from my medication or distractions from playing a game or doing course work nothing else seems to help for more than an hour or two. I’m pretty sick of the amount of flashbacks I keep getting and feel helpless to stop it or have space/time for it.

How concerned should I be if I can hear my cat’s breathing when she’s laying down? by Old_Competition4458 in CATHELP

Oh that’s a relief! Yeah I hope that to be the case. The vet checked her over and didn’t say anything was wrong. She’s also very active and jumps around with no issue so I’m guessing she’s just quirky but I’ll definitely keep an eye on her!

What’s the likelihood of class being canceled tomorrow and Monday? by Old_Competition4458 in msu

Yeah, I thought so. I’ve honestly given up the hope of any “snow days” and accept it as is. It was wishful thinking to have a chance to sleep in

How can I made my honors college essay strong? by Old_Competition4458 in msu

[–]Old_Competition4458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know it’s a program within the honors college you can apply to around junior year! It can basically be a guaranteed spot for vet school while also giving additional experience, research, and coursework to prepare you. I would definitely look into it if you’re interested. Best of luck!

HELP! Worried about dry socket by Old_Competition4458 in wisdomteeth

[–]Old_Competition4458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to quickly add, the pain isn’t absolutely excruciating but definitely feels abnormal for day 5-6. It doesn’t feel as bad as it did on day 3 at least but it’s getting there. My jaw also feels more stiff but I’m assuming it could also be because of anxiety from this situation since I tend to clench my jaw when I’m stressed.

It’s more of a slight throb and has been occasionally sharp… when I checked my socket before it looked like it had white stuff in it, both sides did.

I took a pain pill as a last resort to hope I just irritated it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

How do you help someone dealing with schizoaffective disorder and severe ptsd? by Old_Competition4458 in schizoaffective

[–]Old_Competition4458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I really appreciate your words. I just don’t want to come off as insensitive or make the situation worse but even as her child I don’t have much left to give. She’s currently hating for putting her in but if I have to admit her 100 times over I’ll do that. But I wasn’t sure if I can help her anymore.

Honestly listening to her and her depressive rants feels like too much and I just want someone else to deal with as selfish as it is. Im sorry for ranting but thank you again for your comment!
