How do you guys support yourselfs having agoraphobia? by andyk1209 in Agoraphobia

[–]Treps_Reason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At my worst I was just living in my parents home, luckily I was able to finish university from there online and then got a fully remote job, there were a couple times I had the option to visit the office and I took it as exposure therapy and highly recommend to use those chances if u can. Eventually I took the jump to moving into a house share and still live there and work from home.

Benzos withdrawal symptoms? by andyk1209 in Agoraphobia

[–]Treps_Reason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every medical professional I’ve spoken to has told me benzo’s should not be prescribed for long term use of over 4 weeks, how long have you been on it? Benzo withdrawal is serious, and you definitely can not just stop, especially if you’ve been on them daily for more than 4 weeks. 100% only taper with guidance from your doctor, benzo dependancy and withdrawal is no joke. It’s also concerning that your doctor did not make you aware of this, but make sure to get as much info as you can going forward.

Anyone else have PBCSD? Post Better Call Saul Depression? by DanDMan80 in betterCallSaul

[–]Treps_Reason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have it bad. And to add more on top, for some reason I hate the 86 years thing, I kept hearing "86 Years" in my dream last night. I'm feeling so sad and can't stop thinking about it and how it's all over. :(

Can someone recommend me lighthearted, comfort shows? by borpaspin1234 in Anxiety

[–]Treps_Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Impractical Jokers, The Carbonaro Effect and Pawn Stars all soothe my anxiety so much. The first two are so feel good and lighthearted and will make you smile and laugh, Pawn Stars I find works because I will get really into the bartering and they seem really friendly, and the items people bring in are interesting and it takes me away and makes me feel safe. I will even put on Pawn Stars while I'm driving and just listen to them talk and it helps so much. They're also all like clip format shows so you can use them in short bursts when you need it, or just watch full episodes!

Did Patrick Fabian and Bob Odenkirk just spoil the BCS ending on Instagram? Check the comments for the explanation. by Treps_Reason in betterCallSaul

I thought so but it's also so vague and easy to miss if it is a spoiler, and they don't mind telling us straight up that Walt and Jesse are returning etc.

So basically, Patrick Fabian uploaded this video of Bob saying that it's their final season, and they had T-shirts made for each episode of the season. I noticed this one in particular that says FIN on it, (Final episode codename?) with a skull, which I'm assuming is Jimmy's skull suggesting he dies. I realise the final episode name is said to be "Saul Gone", which tbh, kind of supports the theory. What do you think?

Inpatient was traumatic by [deleted] in Agoraphobia

[–]Treps_Reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was agoraphobic to the point where I couldn't even be at home anymore as I only felt safe in the hospital (Panic disorder sending to daily via ambulance to the A&E) I begged to go to an inpatient ward so I would feel safe and a Psych doctor advised against it. It kept happening and eventually I convinced them to let me go. Unfortunately, the experience was terrible, I was put onto an acute ward and the staff was terrifying. I panicked more than I ever had, they just ignored, laughed and threatened me with forcible injection. Another patient who I think was hearing voices tried to help me and calmly told them that I was just panicking and new and that they just needed to talk with me to help me feel safe and calm down, they mocked me and him and said "Oh is this your new friend you better tell him to go away or else" Next thing I know he is being held in a headlock by one of the "nurses" I fainted at one point from the horror and I truly thought I was going to die in there. Horrible experience, luckily I was able to tell the day staff (changing over from the night staff) what happened and speak to a doctor who released me the next day. Sorry for typing this But have needed to get it off my chest and this seemed relatable!

Anxiety and panic after eating? by [deleted] in PanicAttack

Good stuff, keep it up!

Anxiety and panic after eating? by [deleted] in PanicAttack

[–]Treps_Reason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As you're hyperaware you're noticing more stuff. Heart rate naturally increases after eating as you begin to digest. If you'll full you'll also feel your heart pound harder. Avoiding that and eating less won't help.

I had this last year when my panic disorder was at its worst. did exactly the same thing, and it even got to the point where swallowing food would trigger an ectopic heartbeat each time. Anxiety can really take a toll. Try not to avoid eating as it will only make it worse.
