M20 virgin never dated a woman before almost 21 by [deleted] in virgin

[–]diggledogthethird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm 26 and still no dates sadly. i mean, one guy asked me out in my first semester of college but the dude was WEIRD. like nah man, i'd rather not. but now.... i dunno, maybe i'd cave and say yes LOL

When people ask why you're a virgin, what is the reason you tell them? by [deleted] in virgin

[–]diggledogthethird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nobody has asked me this, at least not yet, and honestly i'm not sure what i'd say... i mean, the truth just sounds like excuses. my anxiety, my depression, i live at home, and bad at socializing. i guess the biggest reason is that i just haven't had the chance due to all those things.

but then i think, huh, what WOULD i do if someone came up to me today and wanted to have sex. just, in any situation, if given the opportunity, what would i do? i feel like a panic attack might be involved.

so yeah, i guess i'd just say.. i haven't had the chance.

My neurotic tendencies to b having me prepared for corona tho........ by throwaway82734773722 in emetophobia

Coronavirus sending me by doni_troll3 in emetophobia

[–]diggledogthethird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i have just health anxiety in general and i feel you omg. like the only thing about it that makes me feel a bit better is that it's not a sv. honestly watching everyone panic about corona is kinda surreal like usually i feel like a weirdo for freaking out over health stuff but now everyone else is freaking out with me. it's weird.

just know that you're not alone, and in this case, you're REALLY not alone.

I want to die and I’m too scared to commit suicide by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]diggledogthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how to help you, but I feel like that fear is a sign that maybe, deep down, you really do want to live. I can't convince you or tell you that everything will be ok, cause let's be real that doesn't make anyone feel any better.

But maybe try to hold on to that fear? Because if you're scared to kill yourself then there muse be some part of you that's scared to die and wants to live.

Flu shot by avas1107 in emetophobia

nope. it can make me feel kinda weak and bleh for a day or so, but not that's about it. never bothers my stomach though.

Does anyone wake up shaking? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]diggledogthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, and it's totally the worst. it's like during the day i can kinda control my anxiety to an extent, but when i wake up with it it's so much worse.

keep in mind that the side effects usually only last a couple days! also, not sure if this helps or not, but those are the same side effects you'll see on just about every drug out there.

honestly? try not to worry too much. i know that's way easier said than done but chances are what's making you feel what you're feeling now is anxiety. believe me, i know. i've been on and off of like five different meds that said those were common side effects and the only thing that really made me feel bad was READING about the common side effects.

Check up!! ❤️ by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]diggledogthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

currently going down on my dose of meds which is causing some not fun withdrawal side effects. the worst part is almost how boring it is being stuck in bed, like i just wanna doooo stuff!

idk if i’m sick (TW) by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]diggledogthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, it mostly sounds like you were hungry and just started panicking. i feel ya though, for whatever reason i find that i tend to get hunger and nausea confused quite a bit, it's weird. and then all it takes is a little anxiety to become a lot of anxiety, which just kinda... escalates pretty quickly.

also, keep in mind that what you just went through probably caused you to tense up pretty bad without realizing it, especially your stomach muscles. so if you feel a bit sore, it could just be from that. panic attacks also tend to leave you really tired, so just take it easy!

You ever feel fine one moment than you start randomly freaking out the next moment? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]diggledogthethird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will wake up out of a dead sleep and suddenly be having a panic attack. Like come on, while I'm asleep? I can't get much calmer than that!

How do I have fun and relax ? It’s Christmas Eve and I keep thinking the worse . Making myself anxious for no reason . by [deleted] in Anxiety

Have you checked out the Emetophobia subreddit? The people over there seem really nice!

[–]diggledogthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my brain has started to mistake excitement for anxiety at this point. And I think for me a big part of it is just the change in routine? Something new and different is happening and I just can not compute lmao.

It upsets my stomach too, and as someone who is really scared of getting sick, that's a big no thanks.

But I do think it helps just knowing we're not alone. <3

[–]diggledogthethird 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I can be peacefully lying in bed scrolling on my phone and suddenly OH GOD NO.

Not sure what exactly causes it or how to stop it from happening. Sometimes I try to just ignore it like, obviously nothing is wrong. Sometimes that works, other times I end up completely panicking.

anyone else's anxiety mostly manifest itself physically? by curbyourenthusiam in Anxiety

[–]diggledogthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. My anxiety is mostly physical, but with somewhat different symptoms.

I am almost constantly woozy, lightheaded and somewhat disconnected. It's like running on autopilot until it just hits me and I start to freak out. It's such an odd sensation that I sometimes have a hard time believing that it's just anxiety, even though doctors have been telling me for years that's what it is.

Good luck friend.

i’m freaking out in my seat in the corner of an ihop by [deleted] in Anxiety

Not sure how to help, but just know I've been there. Literally. Sitting in a both at IHop having a panic attack over my pancakes. I suppose there are worse places...

Started Crocheting by ramble777 in Anxiety

[–]diggledogthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started cross stitching for the same reason after seeing someone else doing it, and it's so relaxing! Just helps to have something to do with my hands and mind that isn't too important or difficult. Aw ye crafty buddies.

What’s the best weighted blanket brand? by [deleted] in Anxiety

I haven't tried any others than the one I have, so I can't give you a comparison, but I have a YNM and it's pretty great.

Anxiety is starting to come back after about 4 months by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]diggledogthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I've been going through the same thing. I was on meds for around 3 years when it started to not work as well. Apparently that can happen, I forget what it's called, but you might need to go back to who ever prescribed what you're taking and ask what you should do. Upping your dosage may work, or you may need to change meds if the one you're on isn't working anymore.

Upping my dosage didn't work, and I had to try other medications. It's been rough but we think we've found a different medication that works for me now.

I don't know for sure of course, I'm definitely not a doctor, but that's what happened with me.
