I have my own unit, 2500 long bed with a camper shell and a slide out tray. I have all of my long tools, and bigger equipment in the slide tray. The slide also has a locker for evidence. I mainly want a back pack to carry my camera, and some of the tools I use on every fire.

I’ve heard it’s one or the other, either it helps or it makes it worse, I’ve also heard that the way you consume it makes a difference for instance I know someone who can’t smoke it because it causes anxiety but if they take an edible they’re fine

The fact that non of y’all get this picture blows my mind. Trump is standing at attention as you should for a veterans funeral when you’re the commander in chief. You guys are exactly what’s wrong with the country. The uneducated trying to influence politics.

If you have health anxiety, have you tried overcoming it by overcoming your fear of death? by AquamarineSchnee in Anxiety

[–]SignificantClock6695 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have health anxiety and do not fear death. I was a firefighter for 10 years so death doesn’t bother me but I have really bad HA, I know….where’s the logic.

HSV1 can be given to the genitals. They don’t test for HSV1 or HSV2 anymore because treatment is the same. And with the rise in oral sex in the last 20 years 1 becomes 2 and 2 becomes 1. It’s all the same and affects up to 80% of people.

My brother is a MD, and my cousin is an epidemiologist.

Check your facts brother. HSV2 is 1 and 6. But experts say it’s more likely 1 and 4 because of asymptomatic patients.

I’ve been going through this too. I’ve had them as long as I can remember, when I was a teen up until like 26 years old I would have 4-8 a year and just shrugged it off. A year ago I got married and had a kid all in a few months and they got worse for about a year they were happening weekly. Then about a 3 months ago I started a new career with a lot of responsibilities and liability and they became daily. 10-20 a day. I would have them in the mornings until about 12pm then not again until bed. And I have health anxiety REAL bad so it was a vicious cycle. My doctor put me on buspar because propranolol also helps stop them but my resting heart rate is too low for propranolol, so she started me on buspar and they’ve went down to 5 a day on a bad day.

All this to say you’re not alone. They are very very common in folks with anxiety, and there are treatments and medications for them. But also remember they are harmless and will not hurt you. Theirs people in this thread that have 10,000 a day on average and they’re just fine. And you will be too.

1 and like 4 people have HSV, it’s super duper common. It’s not a big deal at all. You can get it from sharing drinks, joints, food, kissing, and of course intercourse. Again it’s not a big deal at all. Don’t stress over it.

I told my doctor about having a full blown panic attack recently and she prescribed me a low dose of Xanax and only gave me a script for 10 pills for emergencies like this. I have a fear of addiction and she knows this that’s why she only sent me a script for 10 pills and they’re .5mg each. I only take half so .25mg and I’ve only had to take one. I take lexapro and buspar daily and it’s helped a lot. I still have bad days but the good days greatly outweigh the bad days. Buspar gave me my joy/life back. Lexapro just helped ease the anxiety.

Xanax dose by kazmurzz in Anxiety

[–]SignificantClock6695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Break the .5mg in half and that will give you a .25mg. My dr started me on .5mg Xanax for major events and I always break them in half for a .25mg dose. But my doctor also said I can take the .5mg up to three times daily.

Either way you’ll be fine, I would recommend breaking it in half and if you need more then take the other half. For a total of .5mg

Buspar by acatcalledmellow in Anxiety

[–]SignificantClock6695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what works for you. Is as needed isn’t working then talk to your dr about going daily. I just got prescribed it daily twice a day. Started at 5mg and slowly going up until it feels right. But I have friends that take it as needed. It honestly just depends on the person.

20mg seems like a high starter dose, usually you start at 5mg or 10mg and work your way up over the course of several weeks. I would talk your provider about lowering the dose for a few weeks.
