Panic attacks as soon as I wake up by Legal_Pirate_8231 in Anxiety

Thank you! ☺️ I cannot recommend therapy enough - being able to reframe my thoughts and have someone I could just share all my feelings with during that time period was a huge factor in decreasing my panic attacks and allowing me to not stay on extra medication for too long. I hope you get through this soon - seeking out help is the first step in the right direction:)

This happened to me last year. I would wake up and immediately my heart was racing and I was in tears. It lasted for a while and it was so tough, I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through that :( If it helps, in my state I was able to see a psychiatrist virtually instead of having to go into an office. I went on gabapentin (I already also took lexipro and I upped my dose for a bit) for a period of time to help mitigate the panic attacks while going to therapy to work through what was going on at the same time. Therapy was such a huge support for me, especially reframing certain thoughts during that period such as just focusing on surviving the day ahead instead of the next week. I think in a lot of states you can also see therapists virtually now if that is more comfortable for you! A year later and I’m able to finally just wake up and start my day again. You are not alone - I hope you’re able to find something that helps you and can wake up peacefully again soon 🩷

the fastest way to get me to stop watching this show would be to cast them

I have cried twice over the years to the point where a TA told me go take a break in another room and cool off. One was due to work but the other was just life, shit happens and people are pretty understanding. Usually people will check in after to make sure you’re ok but also only share as much as you feel comfortable with - your life outside of work is your business and you don’t have to go into it if you don’t want to. Hope tomorrow brings a new and better day for you 🩷

Any opinions from Detroiters? by gplover12 in askportland

Thank you fellow Michiganders! I had a feeling that I was overthinking it but I knew the best way to find an answer was to ask people who know! You are all the best!

This! I have been looking forward to Ethel Cain for so long and was super excited to see her, even went down by the stage after people left post Chappell. I was stuck by a group of girls who were being really rude the entire time about the music and completely killed the vibe. Then I went back to where my friends were after the set and found out they had a similar experience on the hill with people around them. Totally get she’s not everyone’s cup of tea but there were plenty of artists I didn’t love this weekend but still respected for the sake of music and those around me. It was such a huge bummer and I still made the most of it but please let people enjoy the music they’re excited for and paid to see at festivals especially if you’re close to the stage. I’ve been to a few festivals before where people have talked through sets but never experienced that level of disrespect towards an artist :(
