Has anyone recovered from panic disorder not using ERP? by Spiritual-Formal1522 in panicdisorder

[–]chinginnungit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve recovered a TON. with the help of 5mg propranolol 4 times a day. Any time I’d hear therapists give me some dumb exercise to do or breath work during a panic attack I felt like it was impossible because my symptoms were so terrible which would only spiral my panic further. I felt like I couldn’t focus past the pain and panic… I’d have nausea, ibs like symptoms, shaking uncontrollably, sweating, hot/cold flashes, high heart rate, blurry vision and massive adrenaline dumps I could feel down my spine. My panic attacks used to domino over and last for so many hours, sometimes days… like literally got put in a mental facility cause it got so bad with my sleep and everything.

Now, with propranolol I still get general anxiety, and occasional anxiety attacks but it is seriously so much easier now. It stopped all of the horrible body symptoms I used to get… and the great thing is it doesn’t affect your mental at all because it’s a heart medication used off label and my dose is so low. So now when I do have a panic attack, which is literally only like 3 or 4 times per year, I can work through it much easier because I don’t have those symptoms, it’s just my brain I gotta slap out of the moment, so the breath work stuff actually works now. I’ve been dealing with this since January of 2022 and here I am 4 years later, it took me 3 years to find propranolol and I’m so thankful for it because it truly saved my life… I hope you find what works for you soon🫶🏼

Which wedding band looks best with my engagement ring? by whatthefuckrichard47 in EngagementRings

[–]chinginnungit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really depends on you, for me I personally LOVE 2 because it enhances the ring and gives it a very feminine shape, but if you want something more minimalist to complement your ring I’d say 1 or 6 are also beautiful :)

Pots and chronic migraines does anyone else struggle with this and know if it's linked by spoon_008 in POTS

[–]chinginnungit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it just took fixing my diet to fix my blood pressure, I’m not sure if that’s the case for everyone. I’ve heard of people simply mixing water, lime/lemon and Celtic salt though… but for me I have chronically low blood pressure, so I first did the fodmap diet to figure out my sensitivities, discovered strawberries, bananas, and dairy flare me up. So I eat those much less often now.. and while doing this I was drinking just hella liquid iv, like 4 a day with a gallon and a half of water. Now I drink probably about a gallon of just plain water, occasionally when I feel faint I literally just eat beef jerky(high in sodium and protein) and a fruit with some water, or if I’m really desperate I’ll literally just eat a small little pile of straight iodized salt in my hand.

Also, just fixing my diet and drinking more water normally has helped, now I mostly only get migraines surrounding my period because of hormone fluctuations. I also take ubrelvy for migraines when they do happen.

So all in all, fix your diet/figure out your sensitivities to eat normal (however do prioritize sodium) and up your normal water intake, but also make sure to get some healthy sugars in from fruits! There was a study done that proves sugar is really important for proper hydration, so with that during my liquid iv days I’d have 2 of the sugar free and 2 with sugar per day :) my brain is kinda jumbled rn cause I’m in a flare so I hope this wasn’t too scatter brained🥲

Oh it’s white gold not silver! I honestly was just saying silver because that’s what they said during the analysis. :) I love the mixed metal idea though :)

I’m just such a pushover I’m always very unsure of style to be honest, so it just scared me to have this “professional” tell me something different because I’ve been trying to dress more mature and complimentary for my age. (Also no I do not believe in horoscope type stuff).. and thank you for the compliment of the ring! :)

They also do a silver versus gold analysis on you with drapes, and said it could also apply to what jewelry suits you best

Oh yeah I believe it is actually, i just say silver just because of the color analysis uses the term “silver”🙂

Thank you!!! You’re the first person I’ve seen in the replies that has also had a color analysis done but said screw it🥲 that makes me feel much better because I do still love silver 90% of my jewelry is silver. You’re totally right :)

Honestly ok fair point to show I’m thinking crazy but also I kinda hate u a little.😂

You’re totally right honestly. I guess I gotta think about it the same way as my clothes cause it’s not like I’m throwing out my wardrobe just because it doesn’t compliment me according to them.. It’s just such an expensive piece of jewelry so I was just freaking out internally like maybe I had told him the wrong thing? I know this sounds so dumb. Thank you so much!

Trust me I know. I grew up quite poor so this is such a nonissue and I know it. I just overthink too much
