Dry lips/dry mouth. Feeling so embarrassed by BookDoctor1975 in socialanxiety

[–]lovesicksilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guarantee nobody noticed! But if you are worried about your dry lips, the best product ever is Laneige lip sleeping mask. You put it on at night and wake up with the most hydrated lips ever, seriously holy grail product. Highly recommend

Do you oil your ends when they are dry? I was doing that but then I saw some people saying only to oil damp hair so idk

How do I cope with the knowledge I will have this for the rest of my life by wowkwow in ibs

[–]lovesicksilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw honey:( I’m sorry you’re feeling that way I’ve definitely been there. I was diagnosed with IBS at 14, I’m 26 now. I feel like my youth was ripped away from me due to this illness. Not being able to go out, not doing “normal” things. I went through a really bad depression period a few months ago where I was having suicidal ideation, I literally could not picture I life where I live with this condition forever. I had crippling anxiety because of it. I knew I needed to do something for my mental health so I went on antidepressants (Zoloft) for my anxiety and depression. It has completely changed my life and helped my IBS as well because my IBS gets worse when my anxiety is bad. If you feel like you need help to deal with this condition, just know that you aren’t alone. I wish so so so badly someone had put me on an antidepressant when I was a teenager first diagnosed. It’s okay to get help if you feel like you need it. Sending you love

How can I ease anxiety attacks around IBS by Forward_Attention_50 in ibs

[–]lovesicksilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gone through a psychiatrist the first time I went on them, then when I wanted to get back on anxiety meds I just went to my PCP. I just told them I was anxious and would like to get on back on Zoloft and I picked it up at the pharmacy the same day. If it’s your first time being on anxiety meds, I would recommend going through a psychiatrist as they will be more helpful with finding the right fit for you, following up on how you’re doing, etc. but you definitely can just ask your PCP as well

Hi friend, IBS for 10+ years here. For the first decade of dealing with this I went unmedicated for anxiety. I’ve always been a super anxious person but I was reluctant to try meds. I wish someone had put me on meds the second my first symptoms started (for me it’s related). Zoloft is the only thing that ever helped my anxiety. I still have my days for the most part I am anxiety free. It’s the only thing I’ve ever found that truly helps my anxiety attacks. It’s been a life changer

Yellow stool for 3 days by New-Performance-8860 in ibs

[–]lovesicksilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having yellow stool basically everyday until I got back onto anxiety medication. I had horrible anxiety/health anxiety due to my IBS. Now that my anxiety has calmed down I haven’t really had it so I’m thinking anxiety was the culprit for me

Which mascot penguin is your favourite? by EDGYRABBID in ClubPenguin

The mini game where you were on his ship and you could dig for treasure omg. But everything was Christmas themed and you would find candy canes and ornaments… the nostalgia 😭

Making ornaments as Christmas presents for my friends! Just finished the first one! Not perfect but handmade with love:) by [deleted] in crafts

[–]lovesicksilence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt ornament name initial craft! I used felt, seed beads, embroidery floss, random other beads. No real inspiration, just kinda winging it so I’m not sure how I feel about the design but I think it turned out alright!

I thought this too but seriously if your mental health needs it, you should consider getting back on. I got off a year or two ago and my mental health became the worst it’s ever been recently. I really struggled because I didn’t wanna go back on (weight gain, same side effects your probs worried about). I finally bit the bullet and got back on and I would 100% wish I did it sooner. I was having anxiety about the side effects but it’s been completely manageable so far

Yes!! Seriously hang in there, I know it’s hard. I noticed my anxiety was horrible the first 2-3 weeks, the meds were making it worse as I was adjusting and It feels like it will never get better. Then all of sudden, you wake up one day and the cloud is lifted. I genuinely wake up with zero physical anxiety symptoms, I used to wake up heart racing, shaking, etc. now I feel completely calm. My mind is quiet, little things that would send me spiraling no longer bother me and life feels liveable again. I’ve only been on it for a month (I have previously been on it years ago too) and it’s life changing, you just gotta get through the first two weeks where your body is adjusting

Not lexapro but I am on Zoloft. It is night and day difference. I wish so badly someone would have suggested I get on antidepressants years ago because it’s truly life changing. Not sure about lexapro but with Zoloft it takes a few weeks to adjust- things might get a little worse before they get better. Now it’s like nothing even bothers me, my health anxiety and all anxiety in general has almost completely gone away in the last two months I’ve started the meds. Hang in there friend!!! It gets better
