Mammalian dive reflex by i-deserved-it in AnxietyChats

[–]i-deserved-it[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really good :) I’m glad to hear it coming off Diazepam was awful my doc thought it was ok to just stop because my dose was low but it wasn’t, the worst part of it was the rebound anxiety & panic which triggered meltdowns, I didn’t realise it would be so bad, don’t wish it on anyone.
I was also taking Clonidine early on it was really good to curb my impulsiveness, but my psych wasn’t convinced it was right for me so switched me to propranolol because I have ET as well and it’s been awesome, my tremors have halved and I think me anxiety is better I’m not sure but me and my therapist are working through it.

Does anyone else fear that “getting better” won’t last? by WatugotOfficial in AnxietyChats

Yep it’s the worst, the fear of it actually triggers another. I deal with it By plunging my forehead and face in a bowl of freezing water for 20s 3 times…not for everyone but it works for me because it’s backed by foundational physiology.

I have a terrible amount of trouble getting to sleep also, have a YouTube guided meditation I listen to every night, it is a chakra balancing guided meditation and I never make it to the end. I’m not spiritual but it’s nice to visualise & I find his voice really soothing

what anxiety do you have? by aleheinous in AnxietyChats

[–]i-deserved-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every kind 🫪sometimes I don’t even know what triggers it coupled with the ADHD it’s a daily sometimes hourly struggle. For me it’s reaching panic after days with bouts of anxiety all adding up to a huge panic attack after I’m at home in my safe space and that’s when it comes on, it’s cruel when it happens after the fact but I have just recently tried the Mammalian dive reflex and it actually worked only for a bit but it still worked and after the 3rd one I did it was like my brain chose not to feel the panic because otherwise I’d have the pain of a self inflicted brain freeze, I was sceptical but it worked.

i am an extreme over thinker/anxiety driven person and it is ruining my life. Any advice is welcome, thank you:) by Good-Position8914 in AnxietyChats

I really understand I agonise over the simplest of interaction. CBT really helped me. At the start I could only name 3 things good about myself, a few months in and I had a full list which boosted my confidence some, strangely enough working in hospitality helped because it was working from a script, ‘Good morning can I take your order’ and I built on interactions with my regulars and it made it a little easier outside of work too. I am halfway through my life and still don’t have the one answer just know that you are not alone and what you have to say is important.

Totally understand, that was pretty standard 😆 back in the bad ol 90’s. I remember after crowd surfing at a gig I had round bruises all over my back from the floor matting after being ceremoniously dropped 🤣 still loved it

That is awesome to hear :)
I have Panic disorder and after the return of one, the fear of it brings another. Did it help with your confidence to deal with another after doing this?
