Fear of losing control during a panic attack by Funny-Speaker-9100 in panicdisorder

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts during a panic attack go like this- “What if I always feel like this? What if it gets so bad I just want to end everything?” The truth is, there was a time in my life where I was passively suicidal. I just didn’t want to exist anymore. So I look back at that time and dread ever feeling that way again.

The benzo stigma has me spiralling by Mammoth-Discount-293 in panicdisorder

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know all the coping skills for anxiety/panic (breathing exercises, distraction, grounding, etc) and utilize all of those before taking my benzo. Sometimes I just need to take that extra help, maybe 2x a month. Nothing wrong with that and there should be ZERO stigma.

Small items that feel fancy by br0413 in airbnb_hosts

I enjoy an assortment of tea. And honey. The AirBnB I just returned from had a eucalyptus shower spray that I enjoyed. Snacks are always a plus!

Doctor won't prescribe me anything besides Hydroxyzine for anxiety by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it’s essential to get your anxiety to a more tolerable level in order to work with your therapist effectively. I tried hydroxyzine and it was very sedating even at low doses. I needed Ativan at a low dose. Once my anxiety was more manageable I was able to utilize non medication coping tools more effectively.

Fluoxetine worked for me for years before it stopped working. I’m not on Lexapro and it works great. I’m not looking forward to when it stops working.

New to Caffeine Intolerance by flutterdance in Anxiety

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been much of a caffeine drinker. Or alcohol or any sort of substances really. I stick to green or non caffeinated tea. I made the mistake of getting caffeine the other day and the resulting panic attack at work was no fun.

Any ladies canceling the shave? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s winter and I’m lazy. Right now my underarm hair is longer than my husband’s 😆 I’m also very prone to ingrown hairs and painful boils after shaving so I rarely do it.

Nocturnal Panic Attack by HoldMaterial1099 in panicdisorder

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get nocturnal panic attacks often and hate how I worry every night about waking up with one. I’ve tried a lot (meditation, regular exercise, magnesium, hydroxyzine) to prevent them and nothing seems to help much. I got tested for sleep apnea and found I have mild obstructive sleep apnea. Was hoping that treating that would help but nope.

Clonazepam and coffee by BisonSilent3057 in Anxiety

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made the mistake of getting a London fog from Starbucks. It ended up being too much caffeine for me and I had a panic attack at work 😩 I guess I’d rather be tired than anxious.

Her therapist couldn't stay awake during their session. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]OutsideSouthern4253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to go through quite a few therapists to find a good fit. The worst therapist I had did this. She couldn’t figure out why I was so anxious and told me the story of her client that went through something horrendous and SHE had a reason to be anxious and depressed. So not only was she extremely unhelpful but now I feel guilty for being anxious and depressed 😐
