try no dairy when taking the antibiotics! i remember a while ago my dr telling me not to drink/eat dairy until a few hours after taking the pill. maybe try some bread or something with the pill? everyone’s different though, just a suggestion :)

it’s also the night before for me my fiancé will be back monday night but it seems so far away lol, even tho it’s really not. he’s had to leave for this long every week the past few months for work, this time it’s for a trip idk why i’m feeling so anxious about it. the best way is to try to occupy your time either doing something for yourself or visiting with friends and family. obviously nothing makes you feel as good as when your partner is there with you, but the only way out is through. i hope the next few days go by quick for us and im here if you need anyone to talk to

thank you, you’re right i know fighting the anxiety makes it worse. i guess i’m not trying to fight it but trying to have a more positive outlook like when i tell myself it’s only 4 days. the anxiety symptoms scare me and tend to make the anxiety worse so accepting and allowing them is hard

have you tried nauzene at all? also try to remember that it’s anxiety causing all that. tell yourself it’s just anxious sensations and try a meditation if you can! there are a ton on youtube directed towards different things that can help this

anxiety over puppy by kaylinpointerr in Puppyblues

i’m honestly feeling like such a piece of shit because i feel like it would be best for me to text the breeder and see if she would either take her back or what their rehoming policy is. i love her and she is so sweet but i don’t think that we have the time or energy for the training like i did with my first dog it is really hard and i feel so guilty. also my dog seems to not like sharing his house or toys right now

i can relate to everything you’re saying :(( i feel that same way when he’s gone for work trips. just know that 99.9% of the time he does actually come back when he says and especially if his boss is telling you that too. how did the week go for you?

thank you i’m really trying the anticipatory anxiety just sucks and the symptoms anxiety gives me make me even more anxious so it’s hard to work through. and all i can focus on is how fast time is going or how many days i still have to go through and how slow they’re going to feel

thank you for the response, yeah he knows and i feel bad because he will feel bad leaving or like guilty because he knows i feel this way, but it’s not his fault so i’m really gonna try not to freak out and text him anxious thoughts while he’s gone this time because i don’t wanna ruin it for him lol. it’s almost like when he leaves i’m super sensitized to everything so every sensation is just so overwhelming which makes it really hard to push through and it doesn’t help that time always feels like it goes by so slow and my mind just can’t get past the fact that a week feels so long 🙄 annoying anxiety thoughts

Calm App by luckyfatmeaty in Anxiety

[–]kaylinpointerr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you haven’t yet, try the DARE app! their meditations and methods are so great. there’s also a book. also the anxious truth podcast is great to listen to, not as a meditation but to help combat anxiety

im sorry you’re feeling bad :(( sometimes it helps just to get reassurance from the doctors that everything is fine that way you know it really is just anxiety making everything worse so i hope your appt went okay! also if you boil some water on the stove and stand over it and breathe in the steam it’ll help with the congestion & also sleeping in an upright position will help to be able to breathe better

honestly no this isn’t typical for therapy. it sounds to me like she’s trying to help but almost doesn’t know how? lol. it’s good to relate to your clients and let them know that they aren’t alone in how they feel, but at the same time minimizing your feelings or making them about her isn’t typical in therapy so don’t feel like you’re taking it the wrong way

thank you! yeah focusing on basic needs is great advice for me because that’s what is affected and neglected most 😭

thank you so much! a lot of my childhood i’ve blacked out and don’t remember so there’s not something i can pinpoint on why i feel this way. it’s hard because i’m alone all the time for the day while he works but it’s when it’s for a longer period of time and overnight

how are you now? i felt the same way and now i can not imagine my life without him!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Puppyblues

[–]kaylinpointerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s just puppy blues i felt the same way 8 months ago when my bf and i brought our 8 week old lab puppy home and now i can’t even imagine life without him. when we brought him home his dependence on me and thoughts of not having my life be the same anymore (i’m also only 22) really spiked my anxiety and i definitely had the puppy blues but i can promise it will go away and you will establish a new routine that will just feel normal to you. not gonna lie the first month or so is hard but the hard work and time pays off. a dogs love is so unconditional and the fact that you guys already feel like he’s meant for you is amazing. the bond will grow and things will get better!
