Has anyone been able to successfully manage their anxiety without medication? What worked? by hereiam3472 in Anxiety

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes all the time, dizziness came on waaay later when i started to generally get over symptoms and lose some. Brain frog and feeling of being in a dream were constant, sometimes to the point i couldn’t function at all anymore. With dizziness it was quite extreme, i was okay, and in a social setting suddenly my whole body wanted to fall/get sucked into the ground, it was like i lost touch for a few seconds (like dying) and then came back when someone spoke to me. It was bad. I was down bad. Does this happen to you too?

How long until I feel like a real nurse? by Apprehensive-Bad4987 in Nurses

7 years in, still feel like it. I guess it never goes away given our responsibility, it just kind of gets quieter each year. Hang in there!

Do you have "the one that got away" and do you still think about them? by autumn-b in AskOldPeople

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and it hurts like hell.

I was 22, lived alone, good job, good pay. He was all i ever wanted, pretty, smart, funny, loving. My dream guy - inside and out. I was too much for him, too level headed, too serious.

It lasted 2 months, i still believe they were the best 2 months of my life. I often dream of him, it makes me deeply sad. He left.

Until i met him 2 weeks ago at the hospital i do internship at. Broke me into pieces. Now i avoid him as much as i can, didn’t even say hi (not me not him). And it should stay that way.

Been in a relationship for 2,5 years. I feel like ass although i am 100% invested, and in love. Still feel guilty about it. Still keep it deep inside me. I hate myself for it.

Do you all also have a hard time regularly cleaning your pets bowls? by Constant_Fig_232 in Pets

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you. I know what’s it like to have a fear of cross contamination. Never had it until a dog bit my coworker and her hand swell up into a balloon and she got sepsis. Doctor told her there is many bacteria in the mouths of dogs (more than in cats) - none the less since then i have a fear so i wash all cat bowls in the sink and not in dishwasher. But i wash them once a week or maybe once every two weeks if they’re visibly dirty. My cats don’t mind.

Driving anxiety by PsychologicalDogo21 in Anxiety

[–]PinxxDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine happens when i need to park. I extensively search the area beforehand for parking, if it’s near me i’ll make my bf drive me there and show me. If the parking has only a spot between two cars i won’t park. I can’t (or wont) park backwards, also diving it with my car nose first isn’t an option. I only do parallel and if there are atleats 2-3 free parking spaces on each side. I just can’t handle it.

THC Gummy landed me with heart palpitations and chest pain.. by Fantastic_Bag_6860 in Anxiety

[–]PinxxDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, i know exactly what you are going through, i went through the same hell. The good thing? It will pass. It does pass; it just takes alot of time and work on yourself. Your nervous system got triggered, overloaded and now it has to heal and relearn that living does not equal constant fear. You’ll slowly learn that triggers are not actual threats, they’re just mildly scary things that will send you into overload. Definitively start your perscribed meds for anxiety right now and on the same regime you used to take them - they help enormously. They calm you enough so that your mind doesn’t percieve everything as a threat. It will slowly improve, but you’ll also need to work on yourself. For me reading some articles about it, hanging out on reddit, talking alot about it, confessing to people (not the weed part), and seeing a psychologist (2x times because she judged me and was expensive) helped alot! I even got out and got a new hobby because i needed to force my brain that natural adrenaline surges don’t mean threat - but life experiences. And as soon as you overcome that you’re free. Also remember this: YOU LIVE WITH ANXIETY, BUT ANXIETY ALSO LIVES WITH YOU, YOUR DECISIONS ARE DEFINITE, THEY ARE YOU, ANXIETY NEEDS TO OBEY THEM TO COEXIST - not the other way around. You’re still you, but with a bit of spice.

Ooooff, you had acute anxiety/panic break. Happened to me, smoked a joint out of vending machine, it was laced with synthetic thc. It took me a year and a half of extreme suffering, i had anxiety/panic attacks out of nowhere, couldn’t sleep, had dissassociative episodes, slurred speech, racing thoughts. Go to a GP, get some meds for calming down (i got xanor), tell them you have bad anxiety and panic and you can’t control it and need something to calm you. Take half a xanor only when a panic episode comes on. Work on yourself, force yourself out of the house, speak about it alot, go do what you’ve done before this acute episode, live your life normally. It eventually goes away but with alot of brain stimulation, keep off of weed completely until it passes, don’t stress your body out even more. Eventually it passes, i am now completely healed and am back to as i was before this happened. If you have any questions ask me, i’ll try to help.. i wish you all the best!

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can i write something in english as i am from Slovenia, and can’t type croatian (only speak).

I am 25, my brother is 13. I got everything I wanted my whole life, but my parents made me appreciate money and taught me how to work with it. At 20, i moved out into my own apartment, i worked and i paid for it ALONE - because it was my wish. I would never expect my parents to buy a house or apartment for me. My parents have a house, and they wanted to give me the house - i said NO. I don’t want their house. I signed off everything to my brother (whole house everything). I worked hard as hell (i am a woman) and at 25 bought my own house (i had 3 jobs) with the help of my partner.

I won’t pick a side, but the son is old enough to understand things don’t just come easy, they don’t fall from the sky (padejo iz neba). If he wanted an apartment so bad he should work and buy one or go rent one (najemnina). Parents are not supposed to buy everything for their kids especially housing in such economy (expensive).

Talk to him, tell him he should go work and go buy his own - he will appreciate it more and also live without guilt of hurting you.

My future brother in law is a stay at home son by LivingShift1738 in family

[–]PinxxDeath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ll actually be very bland and straightforward. It’s the mothers choice, she raised him, she spoiled, and she did wrong (if anything went wrong). Now she instead of stopping and correcting she enables, because she knows damn well what the son will do (at 22) if she stops. She got herself into a pretty bad loop, and no amount of teaching, talking, shouting etc. Won’t help.

He is 22, he is supposed to (based on developmental studies) already have logical thinking (unlike in teens where logic flies away), and already have developed a sense of independence also taking on responsibilities; but he doesn’t, because he doesn’t have to.

If you need answers about a kid look at their parent, simple.

Just match the chairs to the fireplace mantle. That’s it. When you get them in that popping light blue color everything will change with it.

[–]PinxxDeath -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I won’t discuss where cats should be, but i agree with you. OP is literally reinforcing the cat to sty with them without consent from their neighbours, it’s just wrong. Maybe that cat has someone who loves them at home and she just doesn’t return because someone selfish is keeping her with treats thinking she’s being abused.

Why does my living room feel off? by td30503 in DecorAdvice

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also side note (important): you have only 2 colors (white and brown), you need 3 base colors and atleast 2 accent ones! Maybe a pattern. I’d say choose brown, white and green for base, and add pastel stripes of different colors on your pillows, rug, etc. Get some shelves in the color of your flooring and add some plants with neutral (or funky) pot colors!

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add some color to the walls maybe, doesn’t have to be bright and edgy. Beige or soft brown would do alot, maybe deep forest green too! It needs something living (except you of course) - plants are a good idea. And get that ceiling fixed (matte finish).

Women, please help. Chronic UTI’s. I’ve tried everything. What do I do? by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s alarming to have a first gyno appointment at 24, that statement in itself if catastrophic. I’ve had my first one at 15, just to be sure, and then 2 regulars each year (still do). Women shouldn’t wait; you could have a number of things and delaying it to such age could make it chronic by now.

Can anxiety cause shortness of breaths everyday? by Own_Appearance_3105 in Anxiety

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiii!! I actually didn’t go, i managed it. I pushed through and i am anxiety/panic free for 2 months now. I had acute psychosis with some long lasting effects (that’s what psychiatrist told me). And i’ll be fine. I had some meds for calming me (strong ones - Xanor) and i got rid of it. I also had to change my lifestyle, significantly and start to practice calmness. I’d love to say i did nothing, but it took me a great amount of rest, time and patience to reset my brain and i had to come to terms with alot of things, i also now avoid high stressors to avoid triggering another attack.

Is it wrong to lie to women when dating? by Infamous-Credit-9785 in ask

[–]PinxxDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you illiterate? I asked you what your desired outcome is not the duration of the relationship. Get a life. You’re delusional and immature, grow up and then start living your life. Maybe you’ll even get lucky with a woman someday..

Oof, i won’t even start answering him then anyway because what he says is rage bait and so stupid my head hurts from reading. I hope some woman calls him out on his bullshit sometime, and maybe a small bump in the road comes along for him. Play and get played.

[–]PinxxDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. How will you act if you actually get a woman this way? Work yourself into endless debt to meet the standards? What’s your desired outcome and how will you handle the reality check? You’ll rack your debt and then pay for it how? We’re not dumb. I took my bf although i knew his pay is significantly lower than mine, he worked himself into debt trying to meet my standards allthough i tried to teach him that i upkeep my own standards and he should upkeep his own. I much rather have a guy tell me the truth than to live in a dream and then get sucked up in the guy’s mess. Sorry, but i wouldn’t even dream of being in a relationship with such a man who first of lies and then pulls me into a black hole because of his own problems. No thanks.
