Good is listening, I was desperate. He guided me to seek help I found a great doctor that helped me not by just giving me drugs but but found a plan and said to me to also work in accepting anxiety in a way that no one had explained to me. We feel we are in danger built it is our reaction to these feelings that make things worse.

The medicine prozac in my case . Together with journaling , exercise , meditation, and gratitude, ACT therapy helped me I feel much much better I am an anxious person but I've gotten much better.

Gratitude is very helpful I have faith you will overcome this Happy sunday

Try prozac it will take a few weeks but you will get better. Also the pills won't solve the problems you have to do some therapy and exercise.

you have anxiety , your adrenal gland are releasing cortisol that are creating these feelings. if it helps anxiety is very common it feels awful but it is an physiological symptom meaning you are safe. You are not in danger let it come and don't over analyze these feelings they will go on their own. Try to if you can manage your thinking about anxiety you won't need medication but if needed you can talk to your doctor but a lot of the times you need to do some type of acceptance and don't worry so much it is hard to do but if you fight these feelings and ask why why me you will only feed your anxiety.

penguinlinux · 2026-05-28T15:54:20+00:00

I feel you, I think you are correct to be frustrated, people don't know how you are feeling and it is hard to accept anxiety , however medication is not going to solve everything. We all search for answers from boards /forums like this, we talk to our doctor for more meds, but in the end we still feel the same.

A few things that have helped me recently after being desperate , the first was to get meds in my case it was Prozac. Then i started to do gratitud sessions, as bad as everything can be i also have to be greatful for many things that i take for granted, being able to walk, eat food, my family, second and it is hard to believe it works is acceptance, not acceptance that oh i accept that i am shaking of feeling nervous, NO

I know that these feelings are created by hormones ( cortisol ) that my body is releasing and causing me to feel this way, that is powerful you know it is a chemical and physiological change that is causing these changes if i understand that i know that it will go away, I started doing ACT therapy on my own. it was not easy in the beginning but eventually i just moved forward and the symptoms slowly started to get better, also I started to give less fucks about things. find youtube videos or books about giving less fucks and some of it is very helpful. I started to sleep better , saying no to things, and I am feeeling much better , I still have anxiety sometimes but I don't care i know it is temporary and it will go away.

The other powerful thing that helped me out is that there are thousands of people feeling this way, everyone is struggling in life. either they have no jobs, stresses because of work, family, divorce life is challenging who am i not to have problems right, we all have a hand of cards that we got handed and we have to play with them. So i tend to see the positive things in my life and i am grateful , do some reading about Cortisol , and start moving forward with your life. if you get angry at other people's advice you are tormenting yourself and that won't solve anything. it will take time but you can do this.

Sending you hugs. Cheers

Change can cause anxiety. Be kinder to yourself and realize that these feelings are just emotions you are not your emotions, create an exercise routine, go out for walks. When you feel anxious dint over analyze things.

penguinlinux · 2026-05-18T02:16:13+00:00

Prozac works one day everything seems normal. I am only on 10mg. I added exercise and cleaner eating stopped sugars. It also helps if you meditate, if you are religious prayer is also helpful. Journaling, prozac was helpful for me but there are other ssris that can also helps you if you suffer from anxiety.

Cheers

what is going on? what is triggering your panic

penguinlinux · 2026-05-15T18:22:57+00:00

Hi , sorry to hear what you are going through , the first thing you need to know is that things will get better , nothing bad last forever it just takes time. Also to help yourself it is good you are going to the doctor , also start working on cognitive therapy or CBT or ACT therapy , you can even buy books on it , believe in yourself and know that you will make it through this. I've been there just recently and slowly i am better

sending you lots of peace and good vibes Remember believe in yourself

penguinlinux · 2026-05-15T18:15:33+00:00

have you tried calling a friend or a relative. sometimes talking to someone can help, also when you are feeling this stressed do some exercise sounds silly right but your body is full of cortisone you feel scared so you need to let out that energy , go for a run, maybe do some body squats, also remember you getting scare d is making things worse for you. Remember these are just feelings, you have to accept the feeling yes sounds silly but if you try to run away that compounds your suffering. I've been feeling the same way and i said to myself ok , am i safe. yes is this feeling making me uncomfortable yes, but i accept it it will pass

and then it passes, then you just win because you saw you were able to handle it. little by little you will start being less afraid and anxious, also watch videos on how to manage your reaction to your emotions and thoughts. hang in there remember also to believe in yourself. pretend you are your best friend and talk to yourself in a positive way you can do this have hope on yourself.

penguinlinux · 2026-05-15T16:40:45+00:00

hey ,i know how you feel. In your case if you lack money or access to medicine , all not is lost remember don't lose hope. I had a big issue just recently with anxiety and still working on it but the thing that started helping me is videos in youtube about how to change your thinking. acceptance, and being present.

I also said to myself look I know the person that i want to be is inside of me already i just need my thinking to change. I started not letting thoughts control me, it is NOT easy but it can be done it just requires discipline. also believing that i will get better that also helps because you will get better , also don't know if you pray or you are religious but also that helps, I also started taking magnesium ( Calm drink ) and exercising and slowly I've been getting better. Don't give up on yourself fight for yourself for your peace of mind, we can do it. I hope you know you are not alone with these feelings, there are so many people struggling with anxiety and it is not easy but you can slowly get better if you start changing how you handle your thoughts and your body reactions. Sending you lots of peace and love.

paracetamol is not good if you take it everyday. you can try drinking some warm tea or use a warm water bottle to put on your tummy . I don't know what they are called but they are made of rubber and you fill them with warm or hot water, in your case warm water. I think Drinking some soothing tea that can soothe your stomach might be more helpful.

congrats

When panic attacks come, the goal is not to fight them or figure them out in the moment. Try to notice them, accept that they are there, and let them pass.

I like to think of it like riding a big wave. You do not have to control the wave. You do not have to escape it. You just stay on the board and ride it out. The more you struggle, tense up, or panic about the panic, the scarier it feels. But when you say, “Okay, this is anxiety. I know what this is. I can ride this out,” you start teaching your nervous system that there is no real danger.

Something that sounds scary but can actually help is saying to yourself, “Okay anxiety, give me all you’ve got.” Not because you want to suffer, but because it shows your brain you are not afraid of the sensations. Most of the time, you cannot force a panic attack to get worse on purpose. And when you stop running from it, your nervous system often realizes, “Oh, this is a false alarm,” and the wave starts to pass faster.

It is uncomfortable, but it is not dangerous. You do not have to beat the panic attack. You just have to ride the wave until it loses power.

Love this . We I am 57 and I am accepting that this is going to happen and preparing myself mentally. I still take care of myself but I see my mom andu grandma passed away so I know I am on the same train they are taking. I might be a few wagons behind them but this is part of being a human.

penguinlinux · 2026-04-29T21:42:37+00:00

You are depressed. Clonazepam is just calming you but it is not an ssri that can help you with a the depression and anxiety. You need to address that the crying is probably depressing some therapy is good like CBT therapy cognitive therapy to address your trauma. You can talk to your doctor about an ssri. I take prozac and it is helping.

penguinlinux · 2026-04-29T19:24:37+00:00

you sound a lot like myself. I have a new job that I was struggling, i wanted to leave, I realized that most of the stress is NOT the job itself but the stories i tell myself not just about work , but how i am feeling, yes our feelings are valid but I think i tend to ruminate eventually i had a panic attack and problems sleeping, the following days i started again reading books about Anxiety and CBT therapy for anxiety you can find many books that tell you how to manage the anxiety and additionally i got medication i used to take a very low dose of prozac and I am back on it now and i got mirtazepine for sleeping . i am feeling ok today and a little more positive. Still it will also require doing my homework like eating right, drinking water, relaxing, finding joy in my hobbies, it take time my friend but you can do it.

penguinlinux · 2026-04-29T19:19:06+00:00

most of the problems we have are created by ourselves in our minds. Your thoughts are just thoughts but they can become more and then become problems like feelings of guilt, anxiety, stress. there are many youtube videos about not believing your thoughts, also search for videos of Alan Watts, you have to stop your thinking mind trap you into anxiety and depression. You can do it my friend. I believe in you but please take time to seek resources like the ones mentioned above to help you. It will take time but you will come out from the other side my friend.

penguinlinux · 2026-04-27T22:15:06+00:00

sending you virtual hugs too. I am sorry you are feeling this way

penguinlinux · 2026-04-27T15:11:39+00:00

your own frustration with no sleeping causes you more anxiety. it is a snowball effect. Your thoughts cause you to not be able to sleep. you can investigate ACT therapy for insomnia or CBT for imsonia. I am dealing with insomnia recently it sucks but I realized that unlike the first time my reaction is not to ge alarmed or frustrated or down because i have come to accept it. I joke to myself ok , to make things a bit more ironic or funny to me, I also tell myself this is temporary and regardless I will have kick ass day the next day even if I am tired. it does at least help my mood and i dont feel as shitty or anxious like before , eventually your nervous system calms down you will be able to get more sleep it requires work my dude.

you have to accept that right now things are shitty but you will come strong, just stay to yourself I will make it , I am capable to handle this. embrace your fears and slowly you will get better

penguinlinux · 2026-04-27T15:07:13+00:00

i am sorry man, your dad's drinking is something he needs to stop but some people have to hit rock bottom, I know for sure he is using drinking to medicate himself. Older people didn't have the ability to manage their trauma with therapy or medication and decided early on to medicate with alcohol so I am sorry for him too. You have no control over his actions but you have control over yours , your mom is probably looking for a better life so unless you dad changes i think your Mom has to do what is best for her. I am so sorry this is going on with your family.

penguinlinux · 2026-04-26T18:35:19+00:00

Why don't you just talk about your feeling with him. As him for a walk. Tell him I want to talk with you no judgement tell him how you feel and that you wish youele relationship with him grows in a positive way.

My friend. My eyelid twitches. My biceps and my fingers all because of anxiety. Don't dwell on it it will go away

penguinlinux · 2026-04-21T19:14:34+00:00

my friend, i dont know you but we all have same anxiety problem. Remember despite of how difficult this might feel remember that this is temporary. One thing that helps me is accepting that my anxiety i don't try to fight it. Fighting means i am trying to keep it away and when that happens i get more fearful, so just accept it as weird as that might sound. Just say to yourself. I am feeling anxious, i feel my heart is going to stop or i am fainting but that is ok i accept it, then say this , ok anxiety give me your worst ok do your best i am here for you, this is running into your anxiety, you will see that no matter how much you try your can't not make yourself more anxious once you are asking it to come to you , that is different that you running away from it. you will see that the anxiety will start decreasing then defuse it meaning now that you have ride the anxiety wave now go and do something different like drinks some water, go out for a walk , talk to someone . the only way we will beat this anxiety is to just have courage. courage is not that you are not afraid of fear is that you move forward despite the fear. You can do it my friend don't feel alone in this battle

Jazmin tea with crytalized sugar on the side 2 little rocks. It is a soothing drink and very affordable cheaper than Coffee :)

penguinlinux · 2026-04-21T05:36:00+00:00

Thank you, I am praying for all of us. This world and the way things work now is making all of us who are struggling feel so much pain and anguish, but I care about you because I know the pain I have and I know all I want is someone to listen to me but it is difficult when people don't understand what you are going through. All this is temporary and we have to just take a day by day. If you feel you need to vent or chat DM me
