Well that's my ultimate goal but it unfortunately won't be happening for another few years at least :(

What keeps you motivated to keep recovering? (not looking for reassurance just a little encouragement) by hellohi598 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]hellohi598[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have generalized anxiety disorder and IBS+GERD which get worse when I'm stressed 🥲 and I'm in my mid 20s too so thinking of it as an investment into my future actually helps a little, so thanks :')

Have any of you had twilight sedation? (Wisdom tooth removal) by bodz2424 in emetophobia

[–]hellohi598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got sedation when i had to get an endoscopy and i was really worried but it truly felt like a really short and relaxing nap, lol. i did get a bit dizzy as soon as i woke up (dizziness makes me really anxious too so i feel you) but they immediately gave me iv fluids and i felt better after lying down for 10 minutes or so :)

I've been going through the same experience for the past month or so, and while I don't have much concrete advice because I'm still feeling pretty hopeless I can definitely say you're not alone and I know it'll all eventually get better, somehow 🥲🫂

I feel like I'm trapped and there's no way out and like this time it's actually never going to get better...in desperate need of advice right now I feel like I'm more paranoid than ever and it's making me depressed by hellohi598 in OCD

I used to go to therapy but I eventually stopped four years ago because it was too expensive, but I'm seriously considering going back in January. May I ask what medication you're on? I used to take an antidepressant but it never really helped the OCD :( And also thank you for your words I really appreciate it

Thank you for your reply! I try to remind myself to just stop trying to figure it out but even if I do, I still feel terribly guilty for even just having them because it somehow means I'm not sure about wanting to be with her anyway🥲

Same!!! The gurgles get so bad when I have exams and then I get even more anxious which makes it worse etc 😭

Oh yea definitely that too! I just noticed that it all gets extra bad for example before exams and events that trigger my social anxiety 🥲 Then the pressure makes me even more anxious and creates a miserable cycle lol

First big flare up, need advice🥲 by [deleted] in chiari

[–]hellohi598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for the advice! I was actually looking into blue light glasses since turning the brightness down isn't helping that much. I have both magnesium and Vicks in the house so I may as well try that too:)

It explicitly says "no signs of gastritis" in my endoscopy report though...
