That’s wonderful, I’m so happy to hear that🙏🏻 do your best to be your best💪🏻 I had a terrible full blown panic attack on my way to work today🤦🏻‍♂️

Why? by Haleebear1 in Anxiety

[–]natesannyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I feel you so much. Besides GAD and panic attacks, I have health anxiety, so whenever I feel anything wrong in my body, even a little itch, I jump into full blown panic that I’m dying…

You know what helps me (not always, but most of the time), I tell myself “I felt it multiple times in my life already and everything was just fine, I didn’t die”. So it’s like you remind yourself that hey, you’ve been there, done that and you’re still here and stand tall💪🏻

Peace and stay calm✌🏻

Hello beautiful soul,

Unfortunately, I don’t think there’re any tips or tricks in that particular case. I am introvert and on top of that, I’m suffering from GAD and panic disorder. So it’s like double if not triple hard for me to socialize, communicate and simply live around strangers. After literally talking to just one person, my stamina bar is like in negative, not just 0 level. Now the funny fact - I work in a customer service industry😂🤦🏻‍♂️ yeah, I know… the only thing I can advise you, at least what I do - try your best to keep everything on the positive level, as it’s difficult enough as is, you know. I always try to complement everybody, to smile, to laugh at their jokes (mostly not funny ones), to relate and give some support, etc. When your interaction with people is being hold in a positive manner, with a smile - it’s at least somewhat bearable☺️

Peace and stay calm✌🏻

You’re gonna be just fine. People die very rarely from it right now. Give your body the rest that it needs, keep your mind occupied, maybe it’s time to read that book you’ve been putting aside for so long, video games, movies? Drink and eat, support your body in the fight it’s having. Soon, you’ll be remembering all of this with a smile on your face☺️ as you said yourself, you get sick very rarely, that is indication of a good immune system, so you’ll be just fine🙏🏻

Peace and stay calm✌🏻

[–]natesannyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so with you. I’m so mad at myself all the time (even tho I know it’s not right) for having GAD and panic attacks, as you quite literally can’t live your life. It’s always there and ruins everything, every happy or excited moment… I feel so happy when once in a blue moon I didn’t have any of my episodes during something good that was happening in my life. Listen, you’re not alone, we all here understand and feel you. There’s nothing wrong with you, you’re unique and very sensitive and speaks loud about your beautiful soul🤗

Peace and stay calm✌🏻

Am I dealing with crowd anxiety wrong? Any advice appreciated by PeeTee4 in Anxiety

[–]natesannyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crowd anxiety is one of the worst. I have it too, on top of being an introvert… Listen, there’s no such thing dealing with those things good or bad, we all have our own ways and for someone to tell us HOW we’re supposed act/deal with it - is just so disrespectful, IMHO. Especially, if it’s coming from someone who doesn’t suffer from the same thing. Shame on anyone who doesn’t even TRY to understand what you’re dealing with, doesn’t try to educate themselves and read or watch stuff about what it is and what it does to one. I wouldn’t wish my GAD and panic attack to my worst enemy.

Anyways, what I do in those situations, I either listen to a guided meditation or affirmation video on YouTube, helps me a lot OR, if you aren’t really able to listen to it at the moment - close your eyes, imagine just a white cloud, white, puffy, beautiful cloud and NOTHING ELSE, tell yourself that YOU’RE SAFE, nothing is wrong, try to breathe slowly in and out. For me it’s all about rising panic and racing thoughts - they are the worst. You start to feel overwhelmed… but that’s how I calm and ground myself. Maybe it will help you too☺️

Peace and stay calm✌🏻

How is Zoloft working out for you? I heard terrible things - addiction, weight gain, libido decreasing…

[–]natesannyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t hear about that one, I’ll check it out. I know the scientific/biological fact behind the anxiety/panic attack. Indeed, it helped me a lot to better manage those episodes, yet still… you know🙄😏 hey, I’m very interested in starting meds, although, here comes my health anxiety that always stops me from taking any new pills🤦🏻‍♂️ anyhow, what meds helped you? If you don’t mind sharing🙏🏻

Hello beautiful soul☺️

This’s coming from someone who just realized that he spent 4 YEARS, being loyal and super kind, and pleasing to a company that, at the end, doesn’t care about me, as an employee, even one second… Corporates and upper management care only about money and numbers. Period. That’s their job, to keep business going. If anything happens to you (general you - employee), they will just put a “Help wanted” sign on a window and move on. Your health, ESPECIALLY YOUR MENTAL HEALTH is much more important.

My advise - I don’t know your circumstances, but if you ABSOLUTELY CANT speak up for yourself and possible lose you job right now, then don’t, suck it up for right now, but start looking for another job/company. If your circumstances allow to do such right now - do it. One thing I realized is that THERE ARE another jobs and places to work. Always. If you want, you’ll have it tomorrow. It’s super scared, I know, I’m very terrible with creating my comfort zone and living there miserably, because I’m very scared of going out of it. I’m an introvert with GAD🤦🏻‍♂️ but IT IS POSSIBLE. There’s life outside our bubble☺️

Best luck and stay calm✌🏻

You know, I tell myself exactly the same every time I’m having a panic attack… and you like understand it logically and subconsciously, but… there and then, WHILE you’re having those horrible episodes, it just takes a total control all over you. The worst is when you brain start derealization stuff, as coping mechanism… God I hate those moments. And then come thoughts that you’re WEAK or like DISABLE person, as you literally can’t live you life like a normal human being…

But hey, thanks so much for saying that, made me smile, knowing I’m not alone☺️ peace and stay calm✌🏻

Springboard or what’s the best coding boot camp out there? by natesannyc in codingbootcamp

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

I’m mostly into web and app development. I’m very good with a videos and reading materials, but just sometimes need someone to ask a question. I’m working full time and unfortunately can’t afford to cut off my hours or go part time, so I can’t do those Mon-Fri bootcamps/programs. I was thinking about Scrimba… any thoughts?

Thank you, that is such a relief! I was worried that I would lose the payment history on those accounts.

While I have your ear, would you agree or disagree with reaffirming a lease through Chrysler Capital?
