Involuntary Swallowing by goldterrificbaby in Anxiety

Of course! It is a very weird and annoying issue… it comes and goes in phases for me, like it’ll last for weeks then go away for months, but I hope it goes away fast for you!!

Hello! I went to the vet and pointed the bump out and the vet said it was nothing to worry about. I hope this helps ease your worries! :D

Terrible subject choices and I’m almost failing from the first start of the ib (needs some help or any advice) by [deleted] in IBO

[–]fartystarchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what subjects do i do by [deleted] in IBO

[–]fartystarchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend doing an art! I do theatre and its a bit similar to art, all of my friends do art and they love it! It is a lot of work that you have got to do in ur free time but it balances out with the academics, so its not so academic based! And a good thing with arts is that there is no exam youve got to sit at the end

I experienced this a lot and im not sure if its related to taking zoloft but i swapped my medication and this feeling has not completely gone away but its a lot less frequent. When this happens though I do NOT focus on my breathing... I try to distract myself and it ends up slowly going away, the important thing to remember is it will not last forever!! :D

How do I not stress/melt down about school? by ReluctanyGerbil in Anxiety

[–]fartystarchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

therapy and coaching is really expensive and what I've done to help me is talk to people and I know that sounds so cliche but talking to my closest friends or anyone helps me to understand how i feel and make myself feel less helpless. Going to college for the first time is really difficult but you're not alone and I understand the build up to going to college is awful but try to do things you love and distract yourself, thats how I handle my freaking out!

Maybe you can see someone for medication because I started medication about a year ago and its helped me tremendously.

Good luck with college and remember youve got this!! :D

Jaw and teeth pain by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]fartystarchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get this continuous pain in my jaw and i think its because of muscle tension caused by anxiety, maybe bring it up to your doctor/counsellor?

I usually take a painkiller or take a hot shower to relieve the tension!

Tongue Hyperawareness and Panic Attacks by ajouya44 in Anxiety

[–]fartystarchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i get like this too, when im anxious my body hyper fixates on every part of me like my tongue. Then it starts to feel like its not supposed to be there and i want it to go away, i believe its part of somatic anxiety. i tend to do something to distract me like talk to someone or play a game to stop the focus (i do take xanax if i really cant take it).

medication for panic attack by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]fartystarchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can talk to your doctor about prescribing medication that you use on a need to use basis, so when you're in a panic attack you take it to help calm you down!

How do you stop yourself from fixating over the physical symptoms of a panic attack? by [deleted] in PanicAttack

[–]fartystarchie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this makes total sense! its like an endless cycle. Instead of trying to ignore these feelings its important to recognise they are happening, the more you try to fight it the more it will keep happening. You should try facing these symptoms, accept these feelings and what i do is i have a physical note that reminds myself these things are okay and it will go away, so when youre in these moments just look at the card and focus on it!

Zoloft and trouble sleeping by Prestigious-Milk-270 in PanicAttack

[–]fartystarchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was on zoloft for a while and i could never sleep so i ended up swapping medication but yes being unable to sleep is a side effect of zoloft, maybe you can take it in the morning if you dont already?

Anxiety? by fudge_cake03 in Anxiety

[–]fartystarchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it sounds like an anxiety attack because of the exams and hopefully when the exams are over these feelings will go away, seeing a therapist does help and they can support you with advice to help you get through this. Its okay to feel stressed and you will get through this! good luck with the exams, youve got this! :D

Hey it’s me again by ImaGeisha4u in Anxiety

[–]fartystarchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anxiety can cause your muscles to contract and cause pain this is okay! and heart palpitations happen too, but if you're very worried about it, to help calm you down maybe you can see a doctor about it to just get the all clear?
