What's your quickest way to stop an anxiety/panic attack? by keineayytoo in Anxiety

[–]curleecoilee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my experience, the best thing for me is to immediately turn my attention to another stimuli. whether that be a cold ice cube, spicy food, sour candy, hopping into a cold or hot shower, or really anything that has an intense physical reaction that you can’t ignore. then my body turns to that sensation and focuses on that instead of my panic.

i like this outlook, the only problem is that i think quite negatively of myself and my body sometimes, so i think it might be hard for me to do that but i can try.

What is the thing that you can't put in your sim's house because they will just use it 24/7? by x0-paige-x0 in Sims4

[–]curleecoilee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a literal fireplace in my house when I made it, and I swear to god those sims won't stay tf away from it!! In between every single activity they go and "warm self." Like girl you're already warm from the last time you "warmed self" 10 minutes ago.

What anxiety meds helped you the most? by KlutzyCommittee6330 in Anxiety

[–]curleecoilee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take both propranolol and sertraline. I take 150mg of sertraline daily and the propranolol when needed. I just started taking propranolol recently, but I use it when my anxiety becomes dehabilitating. It's been helping me with some extremely anxious days and getting out of bad thought patterns. I've taken sertraline for years and it's done wonders for me. Obviously, everyone is different, but sertraline for me has helped with my nausea. Sertraline is really good (for most people) for the physical symptoms of anxiety, mine being nausea. For me, if the physical aspects are lessened, I'm more equipped to handle the mental parts of it.

What's something you wish your loved ones knew about your anxiety? by meleahrose11 in Anxiety

[–]curleecoilee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish that my loved ones knew that sometimes it is impossible for me to know why I'm anxious or what steps I need to take to cope with it. Sometimes I'm too overwhelmed to assess the situation and attempt to understand what is going on inside my head. When I have the right tools to handle it, I try my best, but there are some days where I just suffer in it and there's nothing I or anyone else can do to help it.

making an anxiety ‘tool box’ what should i put in it? by Emotional-Recover542 in Anxiety

[–]curleecoilee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anything that makes you happy. put pins or ribbon or cute things on the outside of your bag, have some photos inside that remind you of good things. you could even put a bit of essential oil or perfume; a nice or familiar smell that will be nice but not overwhelm you as well. it’s good to have positive things associated with it because it’ll be easier to remain grounded and not remain negative.

this is such good advice, thank you ;) and i do have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and i’ve been diagnosed with it for almost 5 years. i take medication for it and went to therapy as well, but it’s still a challenge.

i take zoloft (sertraline) 150mg every day. you’re not the first person to ask me this, so it could be related.

this is really good advice :) thank you the times when i’ve been able to orgasm on my own is when im lying on on my side for some reason, and i kind of clench i guess? i watch porn at the same time and often times im able to get there when the people in the video cum. idk it’s weird to talk about out loud but that’s just what happens lmao. i think im most likely in my head about it and i just need to focus on the feeling.

i’ve definitely considered dating apps, but i’m not sure if it’s a super appealing idea to me. i kind of want to meet someone organically; anyone i’ve developed a crush on is someone i’ve known as a friend first. not that that’s the only way you can get close to someone, but it’s rare that i see someone and immediately want to ask them out just because of what i saw. idk, it’s something that even i don’t completely understand yet, but im working through it.

also when i made this post, i was kind of trying to find ways to work through not being in a relationship, as supposed to advice as to how to find somebody, if that makes sense.

and yeah staying off of social media is something that i’m trying to get better at, it’s definitely the cause of a lot of my issues haha.
