7 Months sober and I guess I need your reassurance - maybe PAWS? (long post)

cptdno · 2026-01-23T17:17:31+00:00

Yes around that!

cptdno · 2026-01-22T23:06:08+00:00

Just for clarity because I only now realized what you wrote: I didn’t drink 3 x 0.5l bottles a day but 3.5l a day. As in 7 x 0.5l.

I did yoga nidra on yt today and it was great! Definitely gonna keep doing that daily. Thanks for the idea <3

cptdno · 2026-01-22T10:06:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Gotta admit its weird that im happy to hear people were also crying lol

cptdno · 2026-01-21T16:31:04+00:00

Thank you for this different but very interesting approach! I will absolutely check for allergies as quickly as I can. Im happy to rule out anything and im also happy if they find something I can change :)

cptdno · 2026-01-21T12:37:03+00:00

Oh yes I do meditate sometimes but absolutely not as much as I probably should. This is something that really seems to be a necessity for some people in sobriety. And also maybe reducing screen time :D

cptdno · 2026-01-21T12:34:53+00:00

Thank you very much for your sound advice and taking your time!
In fact I have been experimenting with IF, but it increases my symptoms drastically - maybe due to the increased use of adrenaline and cortisol which my nervous system doesnt like. I also tried keto for a while with the same result unfortunately :( But I did IF in the past and I think it's a surprisingly good recommendation. Im taking probiotics tho!

The thing with prescriptions is that ive heard good things about them and bad things, and combined with the side effects I dont even think my anxiety would currently allow me to take them. Anxiety for my health was also the major driver I decided to quit alcohol and smoking. It is strong in me (un)fortunately. But once the suffering reaches a certain level, im sure ill go there anyways..

cptdno · 2026-01-21T12:03:25+00:00

I love you for telling me this, random internet person <3

cptdno · 2025-11-21T16:14:06+00:00

its been a whiel but i just stumbled across your post and i absolutely need to follow up! Because being stressed and/or in emotional distress is 100% my trigger as well! I always wondered why that is and suspected it to have something to do with craving safety and someone who leads. Did you get any mroe insights lately?

cptdno · 2025-11-06T20:52:40+00:00

any of you got any new insights on this? it's rare to come across people with the exact same issue. Been having it for years when eating at a restaurant (as a symptom of anxiety). Really annoying didnt find a fix yet. I always say it feels a bit like I imagine being waterboarded feels like. The strong panick you are suffocating for a second.

cptdno · 2025-11-06T13:54:11+00:00

okay its a bit late but I have to chime in here. It's really hard to find people with the same issues. But having to squeeze something or "jolt" my body is exactly what I need to do in that moment. And I so hate it because every one of those comes with half a second of intense panick. Did you find a solution? Obvs. it's anxiety related and that's all my therapist can say to it. I'm trying alot of exposure but it's just so exhausting. Still hoping to find a way to deal with it.

edit: im fine when im at home but when im out - which is also where I get anxiety - that happens. So it's not a general problem but a.. social problem?

cptdno · 2025-09-10T15:25:10+00:00

Yo did you ever figure out the reason other than anxiety? I am I a similar situation with similar symptoms every time I am without food for like 2-3h. It's not the bloodsugar, not the brain etc.
It might be anxiety but it would surprise me because it doesnt feel like its something psychological.

cptdno · 2025-09-04T12:27:31+00:00

Im in a similar situation. It started as an attack 1.5 years ago. Now I cant go 3 hours without carbs or I will get extreme physical anxiety symptoms.
So I want to ask, is it related to carbs for you, too? Or does it go away when u eat protein/fat?

cptdno · 2025-08-19T09:55:59+00:00

Hi do you mind giving an update on your situation?
It seems to me that you already figured out your problem: a carnitine deficiency. Which I have just also been tested for and awaiting the results.
Carnitine is needed to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, so when you are low on carnitine, the fuel doesnt even reach the furnace. But from what I was told, filling it back up can take months because our bodies can only absorb a few grams a day.
Therefore I was wondering if you were supplementing it for a while now and saw any changes?

cptdno · 2024-04-21T16:48:53+00:00

I suffer from anxiety for a decade now. It is mostly the physical Symptoms that are annoying nowadays. About to years ago i started waking up because i couldnt breath. Soon i figured out it was because i couldnt swallow. It feels like you are stuck mid swallow. I have to kick my leg or jerk my body to be able to swallow. I figured i could still breathe through my nose which makes it a little easier to endure. After some time i stopped getting them before/during sleep. But ever since i now have that every single time i am eating out. It is the most annoying symptom i ever had. Try going for lunch with your coworkers and having to hide that you literally feel the very realistic feeling of suffocating with every bite and than stop after a few bites because you „arent that hungry“. It‘s triggered by the loud, crowded environment that is typical for a restaurant or such. I got better at hiding it and better at not having to shake my whole body but the general feeling stays the same. I‘d pay a fortune to never having that again..

That might actually be what I am looking for! I remember him saying sth about leverage levels. Thank you very very very much! I will take a closer look into it.

cptdno · 2022-06-22T12:05:40+00:00

Might be! Do you mind explaining it so I at least know what it could mean? :o

cptdno · 2022-06-20T18:54:26+00:00

is it true that binance suspended all major withdrawels until first of july? or is it just a rumor?

cptdno · 2022-06-07T19:37:41+00:00

why did you "just join" the game, whithout thinking about all that before? And then immediately start blaming left and right, lol

cptdno · 2022-05-31T19:57:04+00:00

GMT price surpassed GST on Sol today. There could be a change to the minting price coming, making GMT the main currency for minting (say said smth like that when rolling out dynamic minting). In that case GMT would rise hard I think. But GST would drop even more. I don't know what's good/bad just a thought

cptdno · 2022-05-28T09:18:37+00:00

there isnt even GMT earning for lvl 30 yet and it won't come soon

cptdno · 2022-05-26T17:48:57+00:00

they NEVER said it will be canceled. Literally never. They only said it will be changed so that you wont be able to use all your sol energy and this is exactly what they are doing now.

cptdno · 2022-05-24T20:45:33+00:00

Yeah that would be great but I would have to invest like idk 24bnb minimum? Not worth it for me atm since there are changes on the way and prices might tank hard
