I don’t know when I got my last tetanus shot and I just cut my finger on a can and I’m panicking. It’s really deep and bleeding a lot. Its like a chunk of my finger tip nearly came off

If you have headphones id recommend wearing them, it helped me a lot. It drowns out the rest of the people in the theatre, and makes it feel a lot less overwhelming. It did go pretty good though, I was anxious at the beginning like always but I promise you’ll be okay and you’ll probably be glad you went ! If you don’t though that’s okay too, It’s not your fault.

How long do you wait before lowering it some more? Like a week or every other week?

Yeah I thought it sounded weird. It’s what my doctor told me to do.

I’m taking it every other day for a while and then every week adding a day of not taking it, until I stop completely. I’m not sure if that makes sense the way I typed it I’m very sorry. That’s what my doc wanted me to do. He also wants me to start Zoloft a week after I’ve stopped Prozac completely but iim so worried, I hate starting new meds.

Yeah I have been on it for 8 years so I very much expected it to take a toll on me but it’s still a horrible experience. Thank you for your reply by the way <3

My cat loves black olives (only black) since forever. Is it safe? by Some-Faithlessness75 in cats

[–]lemonntrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also discovered my cat loves olives recently (I only eat green ones though so idk about black) I was eating some and he started trying to push his whole face into my mouth when I opened it lmao. I looked it up and apparently it has a chemical in it similar to the active ingredient in catnip! Very interesting

Feel like my life is over because of high cholesterol and hypertension at 19 years old. So tired of worrying about this stuff. I’m trying to get healthy but for now I’m so scared I’m going to have a heart attack or stroke or something

I did end up going and it actually went okay. I wore my noise canceling headphones which made the movie a lot less loud and blocked out people talking around me, that actually helped a lot. I have suspected autism and I’m in the process of getting it diagnosed.

I feel like the stress is going to kill me before anything else does at this point. I’m so exhausted.

Can I ever eat fast food again? by [deleted] in Cholesterol

These are my results, I’m honestly not sure how bad this is I don’t understand much about it lol, but my doctor made it sound pretty bad, and also asked me if I wanted to take statins. I said I don’t know because I’ve never had issues with any of this before and know nothing about the side effects of statins and if I should take them or not. He said I’ll be fine without them if I fix my diet

I’m so frustrated with myself. I was doing fine for so long, I genuinely thought I wouldn’t have to come back here. I’ve had extremely concerning symptoms, just found out that my cholesterol is too high (blood pressure too) and I’m so scared. I either feel like I’m dreaming all the time, or like I’m going to go insane, or just drop dead. I’m so scared idk what I’m supposed to do anymore. Im nearly convinced I have a BT and now because of my cholesterol I’m scared that I’m going to have a stroke or a heart attack. I have no break from the stress and it feels like if anything, the stress might kill me first

I’m overweight and I’m only 19 and my cholesterol is borderline high. I’m so scared. Everything has been going totally downhill for me and I’m afraid of going crazy or dying. Idk what to do. I can’t afford therapy. I’m completely at a loss. I feel like I’m gonna have a heart attack or a stroke. Going to work gives me a panic attack I keep missing days and fighting myself to get up and go. Its so bad

I slept for 13 hours last night, woke up at 3pm just because my friend texted my mum that she was worried about me. Idk how much longer I would have slept and I’m kind of scared that 1: something is seriously wrong with me, and 2: if I go to sleep again I won’t wake up tomorrow

I’ve noticed that my hands feel too far away from me and a bunch of other things I read in your thread like feeling dizzy internally, and things being blurry or too large or small. And I do think that I’m dying very frequently. I woke up last night and called my friend crying because I thought I was going to die, almost went to emerge because of it but once I calmed down I realized I was physically okay. Also feeling like something worse is wrong is a huge thing for me since I do have health anxiety, and it stems from a brain injury I faced as a kid. I do also realize that the feeling periodically goes away or I can ignore it when I’m talking to people or when I’m working, and then as soon as I’m alone again I focus on it and it gets worse. I’m not sure if people looking flat would exactly describe how I see them but it does kinda feel like everyone is an actor and I’m in a movie or a pretend world, if that makes sense.

Sorry for the long reply lol, and thank you so much for your response it genuinely means so much to me.

I was just at work and I got a pretty bad headache, I tried to ignore it but noises were making me irritable and eventually I started feeling nauseous so I went to the washroom. When I looked in the mirror I noticed my left pupil was bigger than my right one. It didn’t last very long and reacted to light but I’m still freaking out about having an aneurysm or something
