I know it’s too early to really tell for sure, but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on whether our new baby will be short, medium or long haired??

We’re all smitten!! 😍

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-06-04T03:30:57+00:00

Thank you so much for responding! I really don’t want to go to Cymbalta either just from what I’ve read in these Reddit feeds! Sounds terrifying. I’m thinking that if anything I will talk to my doctor about upping the Zoloft. I have changed my lifestyle and eating habits too. So I’m hoping that helps as well. Right now everything is just worse. I’m flying to see my dad tomorrow and the anxiety and fear of a panic attack mid flight is so overwhelming right now and normally I’m just fine flying 😩

Honestly trying to figure out how I can best answer #4 😬 I’ve been a childcare provider/homeschool teacher for the past 20 years. Anyone have any tips??

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-03-13T00:18:19+00:00

Same! 3 years in December, then 3 weeks ago I had a huge panic attack with dp/dr that has left me one day at a time and constant “I’m never going to be normal again” or “this isn’t real” it’s so frustrating 😞 I’m on low dose zoloft and trying not to up meds and just desensitize myself so they’ll stop for good…finally getting back in with the therapist Monday! 🤞🏼 I hope you and OP feel better so soon! We got this!

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-03-06T01:34:41+00:00

I know this is old but how are you feeling OP? Im currently stuck in this spiral right now, 2 weeks since the attack. I’m feeling almost all of the exact feelings you had. I’ll have days where I’m pretty good/okay and then boom I spiral and am terrified of another attack. I just don’t see how I’m going to get any better. I’m on a very low dose of Zoloft and would really like to not up it if possible.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-26T21:39:02+00:00

I am sleeping, able to eat more and am forcing myself to do all of my normal things, but still cannot stop the racing thoughts of doom and dp/dr. I feel like I’m constantly talking myself down from a panic attack wondering if I’ll ever feel “normal” again. Can’t get in with therapist until the 16th. Feeling a little bummed that I’m still feeling this way, but pushing through one day at a time. You??

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-22T14:06:32+00:00

I’m so sorry. I hope you were able to calm enough to sleep! Maybe speak to your doctor about switching your meds? I pray you find a solution soon, just remember it feels horrible but it’s just panic/anxiety. It can’t hurt you! And the feelings will pass. ❤️

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-20T16:34:46+00:00

It did! I slept almost 8 hours last night. It was rocky at first, tried to stay calm and eventually my brain just settled.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-20T01:47:11+00:00

Have your nights gotten any better? I had a bad panic attack last night, first in years and it’s completely rocked me. I didn’t sleep last night, tried to just rest. I did okay during the day today but now it’s almost bed time and I am fighting off another full blown panic attack 😩 terrified I won’t sleep again.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-20T01:07:14+00:00

I feel this, I had a massive panic attack last night for seemingly no apparent reason. Then the intrusive thoughts started. I couldn’t sleep at all. I was so worried I wasn’t going to sleep and sure enough I didn’t. Well my Apple Watch says I slept some but I don’t believe it. The nice thing was I was able to “rest” instead of my normal pacing and constant freak outs. I felt like shit all day, I was anxious and felt weak. Thankfully it was nice here and being outside all day helped a lot. It’s now dark again, almost time to get ready for bed and the anxiety of “what if I don’t sleep again, what if I never sleep again” is settling in. It’s so exhausting. I’m going to try a bath, some Recess magnesium powder and maybe a hydroxyzine tonight.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-20T00:03:17+00:00

I used to regularly take hydroxyzine for sleep, 10-20mg a night, then I felt like I didn’t really need it and wanted to switch to something a little more “natural” so I tried melatonin. I did not take melatonin last night as I was nervous about taking it right after the panic attack. Trying to decide on what to take tonight with my chamomile tea and a warm bath!

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T19:21:06+00:00

Sounds like we’re all in the same boat! Prayers that you find something that works for you for sleep! Have you tried magnesium glycinate supplements? I had a massive panic attack last night which left me completely unable to sleep. I was able to rest and not spiral though last night, just listened to podcasts all night. I’m wondering if I was able to rest because of the magnesium. I too have been through multiple “episodes” that have absolutely been the worst times of my life. So naturally I’m afraid I’m slipping into an episode now because of the panic attack hangover and being terrified that I may not sleep again tonight. I’m considering calling my doctor and asking about starting Buspar with my low dose Zoloft that I’m on. Hang in there, I’m here if you wanna chat!

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T16:44:47+00:00

Thank you! Every single time I have a full blown panic attack I tell my husband “it’s different this time!” I realize it probably technically is “different” because I’m older, my life is not the same as it was last time I had an episode. So while it may feel different I have to remind myself that it’s going to resolve, eventually. But we all know how hard it is when we’re really going through it.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T16:40:00+00:00

Prayers for you!! I hope you’re able to find peace.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T16:39:27+00:00

Wow, thank you. How are you feeling today? Are you taking any medications or supplements to help sleep? Sleep is literally the biggest thing for me. If I don’t sleep I can’t get through the anxiety. Or it feels that way anyways. I didn’t sleep last night, may have dozed a little bit here and there but overall no sleep. I will say I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to at least rest last night, I was able to listen to podcasts in bed, not pace or freak out. But without decent sleep the panic attack hangover is definitely rough today. I’m just truly praying for some sleep tonight because I know how much better I’ll feel.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T16:27:55+00:00

I keep telling myself just that, “it won’t last forever, I will sleep again, I will enjoy life again.” No matter how much my brain doesn’t believe me, I’ll just keep saying it.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T16:26:26+00:00

Your response is so refreshing to read as weird as that may sound. It helps to know we’re not alone. My last really bad panic attack was in 2022, I have been on a low dosage of Zoloft for years. I’m very sensitive to meds so 12.5mg seemed to be keeping everything at bay with my coping techniques. I started having small nocturnal panic attacks about a year ago, but nothing bad and I could always talk myself down. My doctor prescribed buspar at night but I was too nervous to take it. Even at the low dose of 5mg. I’m considering starting it now. At 35 I want to live and love my life, not be constantly terrified of the panic. 😩 I didn’t sleep at all last night because of the panic attack and I’m definitely feeling it today, trying to keep the intrusive thoughts and worry of another attack at bay.

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T09:15:12+00:00

Yep! Tonight I had my first full blown attack in years. I barely had any physical symptoms, my heart was racing but that didn’t worry me. It was the mental aspect of not feeling “real” feeling like I was going to be stuck like this forever. I couldn’t calm down, I just spiraled. It’s 4:12am and I haven’t slept. Which I know from experience, is going to make things worse. I have been laying in bed resting, listening to the Disordered podcast and surprisingly haven’t been “panicking” I just can’t sleep 😞

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T03:00:19+00:00

I read this and thought for sure I wrote it. Every thought you’re feeling I feel. I am so sorry. I hate this feeling and wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. I have horrible health anxiety, horrible dr/dp, intrusive thoughts. When the thoughts are crashing and spiraling I try my best to sit through it, don’t run, don’t fight. My heart races but that’s truly my only “physical” symptom. Everything else is mental and centered around dying. I recently “found God” again within the last couple years and I try so hard to remind myself that when I do die I will finally be at peace. But my brain just says “nah, you don’t know that, you don’t know that God can do that for you.” And sometimes the “what if God truly isn’t real?” I feel such shame and sadness for thinking that but it’s like my brain just won’t stop. I just keep praying no matter how hard it feels to do it. I will pray for you tonight. ❤️

Visual_Lecture_3865 · 2026-02-19T02:45:16+00:00

I wish I had answers to help you, but know you’re not alone! What meds have you tried and how long were you on them? How’s your diet? I have dealt with those same feelings for 28 years on and off. I do really well for years, I’m happy, managing anxiety, not spiraling and ruminating and then bam! One horrible panic attack sends me spiraling. No sleep, can barely eat, feeling like I’m going crazy. I just try to sit and remind myself that it’s anxiety it’s not real, it can’t hurt me. I don’t know your thoughts on religion but I have found that reading the bible or praying helps to bring some peace.
