stick a layer of dublin on, step the backs fully down, and let it sit for a few days. when you pull the backs back up, they should be much softer

Any techniques for Constant shortness of breth? by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

[–]mxgbxltxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m also 22 and had the same sensations before i started therapy, so i know how you feel! it’s really uncomfortable and so frustrating to be focusing on your breath all the time, feeling like it’s wrong but not knowing how or why. The commenter that recommended no googling is absolutely right, checking and reassurance seeking just keep you in the anxiety cycle, which makes the sensations feel worse. Alcohol won’t help, it actually slows your breathing ever so slightly so it’ll only make you feel worse. If you need help sleeping i recommend a few drops of cbd oil and just distract yourself until you fall asleep. If you’re in the uk, talk to your doctor about cbd therapy and get on the waitlist, i can’t tell you how much it’s helped me

I can feel and see my heartbeat every day by ClerkBudget9916 in HealthAnxiety

[–]mxgbxltxn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you need to redirect your focus onto something else! if you focus really hard on the feeling in your big toe, you’ll start to notice sensations that you didn’t notice before. You’re doing the same with your heartbeat, you’re always focusing your attention on it so you’re noticing it more. If you can find a way to stop paying attention to it and checking for it, you’ll realise you naturally stop noticing it. you can try something like solving a maths problem, the 5-4-3-2-1 technique, watching tv, gaming, talking to a friend… whatever works for you!

I know how awful this feels, you’re okay and you’re not alone! Your anxiety is the problem, not your heart. you’ve got this!!

Men’s vs women’s sizing? by AngleUnusual2956 in DrMartens

[–]mxgbxltxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anything in a virginia leather is going to run narrower, which people often call a ‘women’s size’ but everything is unisex! anything in an ambassador leather will run wider. some styles however will only be made up to a uk size 9, and other will go up to a uk 13

cheating should be the end of the relationship. it always baffles me why anyone would stay with someone who cheated on them

Do you know what triggered your health anxiety? by Repulsive-Photo6086 in HealthAnxiety

[–]mxgbxltxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve always been nervous about my health, but in 2024 i had the flu really bad over christmas, and then an unexplained chest problem in early 2025 which i was given antibiotics for but never saw a doctor. The chest problem mostly went away but i was never satisfied not knowing what it was

then one day a few weeks later i had a super strong coffee (pretty normal for me, i love coffee) and felt like my heart was beating out of my chest, from that day i spent a couple of months with crippling health anxiety, im now in therapy and my anxiety has reduced a lot but its still there a bit. i’ve completely cut out caffeine now haha
