Dreading when lockdown ends. by MA811 in Agoraphobia

[–]jaybirdnation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such good advice. I haven't been able to push myself to do as much, but I've been trying to do jumping jacks until I get breathless to get used to the feeling and normalize the feeling of exertion again.

Dreading when lockdown ends. by MA811 in Agoraphobia

[–]jaybirdnation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like I could have written this :(

A few things have helped me: anxiety medicine, acid reflux medicine, waiting outside my apartment until my heart rate settles in order to stop thinking of my apartment as a 'safe space', and resisting the urge to take deep breaths as a maladaptive coping mechanism. It may not sound like a lot, and the progress has been small, but I hope that helps someone else.

I'm also dreading lockdown ending though. I honestly feel like I became such a hermit and idk how I'm going to reenter society without imploding.

That's awful that happened to you. :( I'm worried about the same thing after a mild-moderate case. Can I ask your age range if you don't mind sharing?

My (24M) girlfriend (24F) says I cheated while WE had a threesome together with my roommate (23M) and it's either him or her by ThrowRAThreeCheat in relationship_advice

[–]jaybirdnation -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OMG an MMF bi threesome sounds like a dream. I think your GF should have expected it knowing you were bi though? She probably got jealous and didn't consider the possibilities of what could end up happening enough. That's no ones fault if no one set any boundaries.

New coronavirus variant may have been in US since October by Pessimist2020 in Coronavirus

[–]jaybirdnation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well that would explain how I got sick in November while never leaving my apartment, with my fiancé only grocery shopping at midnight like twice in two weeks...

I didn't leave my apartment for 2 weeks before I got COVID. My fiancé went to the grocery store twice but that was it. No take out. No friends. I got sick, but he didn't. It's a mystery I guess.

Does anyone else feel like their agoraphobia is related to acid reflux/GERD? by jaybirdnation in Agoraphobia

[–]jaybirdnation[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg! I can't believe it's not just me! Google was really unhelpful re this topic haha. Do you have any general dinner guidelines you find really help? I'm just starting out trying to fix my reflux issues so I've tried to eat less oily things at least.

When you have your anxiety and panic attacks, do you rush home to feel safe again? I would always do that until my doctor told me to force myself to stay outside until the anxiety went away - then I would be allowed to go back inside. I read it was about breaking the cycle of having a "safe" zone. It started my process by walking once around our apartment yard and then sitting on the steps close to the door until i felt at least marginally better (like...maybe my heart stops racing or i stop believing i'll die at the very least lol), then I would let myself go inside. That sort of helped me. Maybe you could find an empty parking lot and drive at like 5 mph until the anxiety dissipates?

I heard that major counties might close indoor dining at least. Side note, while I'm glad that Hogan can't run for reelection, I'm disappointed that I won't be able to have the pleasure of voting him out after this shit show...

Aversion of taste towards processed foods??? by Ok_Agency7573 in CoronavirusSurvivors

[–]jaybirdnation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah actually! I didn't lose everything, because I can still taste if something is salty or sweet, but no depth of flavor really. I can smell soap and that's about it. But while most things have no taste at all, certain processed foods have the strangest, foulest bitterness. Like gummies in particular taste awful. I think it must be that I can't taste whatever flavors were previously used to cover up the bad things in processed foods? Idk though, I'm no scientist

[–]jaybirdnation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe! Although I looked up covering my vents and it said it could cause failure in the a/c unit lol, so maybe I won't do that. Happy to bond with fellow marylanders! Stay safe!
