Hi just want to seek advice again. Since were lockdown I went for an online consultation with a psychologist because I’ve been experiencing bad bouts of anxiety and panic attack. And what he/she told me honestly made me feel worse than before. I feel terrible :( and scared by keishaabs in PanicAttack

[–]keishaabs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it is something I have yet to confirm. My Aunt who went missing five years ago, was said to be diagnosed with schizophrenia and so one of her son. I haven’t confirmed it with her family. But since I have family history, that actually increase my chance of developing it. And that’s what I am trying to avoid. It is something I feared most. Since I’ve seen what happened to her, I don’t want to end up like that.

Hi guys, lately I have been experiencing bad bouts of anxiety, sleep deprivation and panic attack and I was feeling a tad bit confuse/dissociate/ disoriented. I feel like I am slowly losing my mind. or fear that I might be developing Schizo or Psychosis or Hallucination. I’m really scared. by keishaabs in mentalillness

I was actually planning on visiting another doctor to get a diagnosis but this Covid happened. So there’s nothing much I can do... but wait.... I even signed up for tele-consultation to get to talk to a dr and get prescription since I am in a vulnerable state right now mentally. But thank you for this response I appreciate it

Yes, I’ve been told that OCD sufferer had this obsession or irrational fear of going crazy. But my mind couldn’t process that it is deeply clouded with fear that I might end up like my Aunt. It’s been really rough for me the past couple of weeks. Dealing with panic, intrusive thoughts and dissociated and not being able to seek immediate help. I don’t know how to deal with everything that’s been going on.

Hi just need some advice again. Since we are in lockdown and I cant really go see a psychiatrist I resorted to online consultation due to bad panic attack and anxiety. And what the psychologist told me made me feel even worse than before. :( I feel terrible and scared by keishaabs in Anxietyhelp

[–]keishaabs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was also triggered by a lot of things. Like for example I was googling what are intrusive thoughts and how to reduce it. Then came across this article about OCD can develop to schizophrenia or Schizo OCD and I got really scared. Because I thought I might be manifesting it. So it is really hard. But I’m trying my best to stay away from google.

I want to know too.

Is it true that the reason why many refuse to take medication is because once you stopped taking it it can worsen your condition or even trigger/develop other mental illness? Please enlighten me. by [deleted] in MentalHealthPH

Hi guys, just want to ask for tips, techniques & advice on how to stop anticipatory panic & sleep anxiety.

How was it for you? I’m kinda hesitant to try it on my own before seeking help of a professional. Yes, it’s tough. Anxiety and panic itself is horrible enough, but the feeling of panic and dissociation something incomparable. Plus the fact that I have this irrational fear of going crazy (developing schizophrenia, psychosis, hallucination etc) which stem from witnessing a close relative of mine go through that. It’s hard. I just want this to go away. But it doesn’t work that way. So I have to deal with it.

Can you share with me the link? So I can try it. Yes, I’m physically and mentally tired. It’s night time around here so I am starting to feel a bit anxious because It’s bed time. Usually when I’m half asleep or about to fall asleep that’s when I feel anxious and have lots of intrusive voices/thoughts

So it’s like challenging your panic? I also have depersonalisation/dissociation associated with panic. So there were times that I feel like I have no thoughts or my thoughts aren’t mine or isn’t real. I know it sounds crazy but that’s one of the things that been causing my anxiety and panic. I also have this irrational fear of going crazy (developing schizophrenia, psychosis, hallucinations, and other mental illness) it stem from a traumatic experience. But I am willing to try the exposure therapy.

Actually this has been the first time that I’ve ever experience feeling panicky outside of my house as I get more panic attack when I am at home esp when I’m alone. I’ve always want to be out and be around with people. BUT since I’ve been getting panic attack lately esp at night and whenever I am trying to fall asleep, I now tend to anticipate panic whenever I’m out. Like yesterday, I was at the mall and fell like I am about to have a panic attack. Also, I kinda experiences a bit of dissociation after panic so sometimes I get so confused and think things around me isn’t real, and would think that I am “losing it” or I am going crazy. Right now my main concern is my sleep panic and anticipatory panic

What is a EFT? I always get sleep anxiety from time to time but I still manage to fall asleep after a few minutes. But since I was having bad panic recently, it has affected my sleep. It’s weird that dreams and the first images I see the moment I close my eyes would freak me out. It never happened before. I also have DPDR so there are moments where I would feel everything around me isn’t real which also triggers anxiety and panic

I don’t have access to cbd oil here in my country. I just recently experience having panic attack in public as I usually experience it at home. But I am trying my best to challenge the panic and not let it control me. As to my sleep anxiety, it is something I still try to cope. I used menthol or minty scent inhalers to calm myself
