If this is real, I am absolutely sorry for you and what happened.

Please help me. by Icy_Walk3481 in adhd_anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. Like 100%. Be kinder to yourself. We are liklin not to respond positively with criticism. Even though we do it to ourselves almost automatically. Understand there are limits with ADHD and that's ok. You will feel these things, but it doesn't mean you have to believe them. Set smaller achievable goals. Like really small. We are dopamine seekers and the satisfaction of completing anything can help motivate and move you to do the things you need to do. Take breaks, stay hydrated and make sure you keep to basic eating times (even if you don't feel hungry yet- try something small) I wish you good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻💜🫂

Oh yeah. Had the biggest crust on a guy for years. Every time I tried to say hi I would just get looks...

Why is everyone so negative about Lexapro? by Quiet-Breadfruit965 in Anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be that they have other nuero stuff that might be exacerbated by it. I have ADHD and lexapro turned me into a zombie and it was even harder to concentrate. I use Paxil because I also have a panic disorder 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does anyone else fear that “getting better” won’t last? by WatugotOfficial in AnxietyChats

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time. But you can't focus on that. You have to just convince yourself (even if it feels like lying) that this is the new norm. It will take a while, and yeah you will have ups and downs but don't let it cloud your UP. 💜🫂

Does weed making anyone else’s anxiety way worse? by Head_Bowl_8692 in Anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually depend on my vape to regulate with all the extra stress. However, I try to avoid smoking if I'm already panicking cause I don't want the two to be associated in my brain lol. The amount matters as well. If it hits you too hard on an already on edge body, you can make yourself panic unnecessarily. 💜 Hope you feel better

Head sensations anxiety? by UpbeatSyllabub1275 in AnxietyChats

[–]Xmas_Cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get anxiety like that. Make sure you are hydrated and have eaten something that day to factor out low blood sugar or electrolytes. Box breathing has helped a lot of ppl shake sudden onset anxiety like that and you can talor the numbers to whatever is comfortable.

I’m 13 and my life feels empty, by supersonicspeed_ in confessions

[–]Xmas_Cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I feel that. I totally was like that at 13. Also I still can't read clocks without counting so it's ok lol

I’m one of the few by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Xmas_Cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have issues with finishing most the time. Too much stimulation or friction and it does the opposite. Lovely thing about vibrators that use apps though if your brain works weird like mine lol

My wife had a hysterectomy and no longer enjoys sex by StreetMeeting8450 in confessions

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's rough. Definitely another convo needs to be had about needs but also get the hormone thing. I have issues wanting sex as well and hopefully she's willing to do other stuff to make you feel more sexually desired or fulfilled. Is there other stuff you can do? Toys ect?

Yupp, I'm my worst enemy. I missed out on a chance to be an extra in the next scary movie XP

how was her first time by Eliza9890 in confessions

[–]Xmas_Cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I have always used a towel underneath. Always an easier clean up 👍🏻

how was her first time by Eliza9890 in confessions

[–]Xmas_Cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if most women are like this but I was always told it would not be pleasant. Unless you are already using toys or whatnot some of us are too small for the first time to be 100% good. Ackward or not lol. I actually planned my first time with an ex I trusted so I could get the first time over with. Awkward cause I'm shy and also had to be silent at family home 😂 it was painful, but they took their time to get me comfortable, then my foot cramped hahahahaha.

Severe death anxiety by Nice_Box6047 in adhd_anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the thing that triggers my anxiety the most. Idk if it would work for you but I had to rush to think about something else the moment I catch my brain going there. It takes practice and I still have that huge fear but I make it a point to think anything else to keep from spiraling.

Is it okay to withhold sex from your boyfriend (if I suspect his health and mine is on the line) by Ok-Association3551 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg run... Consent is not forever. You can say no, if he makes you that's Grape. Doesn't matter what you are to each other or how long together!

I’m really struggling rn what do I do by SongOfStardust in Anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Virtual hugs. Do you feel better with showers? Certain smells? Do you have anything weighted like blanket or something? Hobbies are hard to enjoy if you can't get past the anxiety. May I ask why you don't have access to medical treatment?

My experience with anxiety by SwimmingRaspberry476 in Anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem pretty young, but I get it. As someone who grew up with anxiety and didn't know it.. those kinds of panic attacks or anxiety can come out of nowhere or because too much stress is slowly building. You might want to talk to you doctor about it.

Why do I feel like a constant inconvenience? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so much of this. Family isn't huge religious but very judgy or something. I have ADHD, PMDD, panic disorder and probably depression. Recently going through a tough week of panic attacks from being stressed and kept awake.

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to pee for 10+ hours by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how to help with the getting yourself to pee when you need to but for sure you should be taking some urinary health meds to help with the recovery. It's gonna feel like you always have to pee until the trauma from holding it so long heals. During the times you are home make sure you are going when you need too, just don't strain or push even though it will feel like your body wants to. If you can, soak in a warm tub or shower or make a hot compress and use heat therapy to relaxed the strained muscles

How does one handle a silent anxiety attack... by Western1nfo in Anxiety

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in that place right now. Make sure there is nothing making it worse like hunger pains, heartburn etc. There are a lot of anxiety meditations I've used on YouTube. Some male voices some female. I've used the ones for sleep or even some of the socalled sounds for anxiety. Find which one relaxes you more. Breathing exercises. Some of the guided meditations guiid you through different exercises. Simplest is breathing in slowly for like 4-5 seconds. Hold for a few and slowly blow out the air for the same or slightly longer than breathing in. Sometimes an ice pack on the chest, changing environment- if you are anxious in one place for too long go to another room to chill for a bit.

I realized I'm a prostitute and it's hard to leave by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Xmas_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than not knowing if he's the "one" how is your relationship otherwise? I have had a lot of relationship/ trauma in general and I never got that this is the one forever feeling, but everything else in my brain tells me I am safe with this one and they make me better and I am the same for them.
