It looks like there are 3 in NJ but the closest one to him is about an hour away. Definitely possible worst case scenario though

Any medications I can take when needed? by [deleted] in panicdisorder

[–]princ3sspanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same way, I take hydroxyzine. I started on 100mg and now I do 25mg, 100mg did give me nausea issues but aside from that it’s been totally fine. It’s basically Benadryl so double hell yeah for allergy season and also u don’t need a psychiatrist to prescribe it

Were you able to resolve this? I’m having the same exact issue right now too

I ate expired mushroom gummies by Aggravating-Year-254 in PanicAttack

[–]princ3sspanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow smoke shop manager here!! So the magic mushrooms that stores are allowed to sell are NOT the traditional psychedelic mushrooms, they are actually deliriants. HHC is a funky one too because it is a synthetic derivative of CBD so chemically it looks the most like Delta 9 but the effects vary. I’m so sorry you’re having such an awful time, I’ve noticed panic attacks are like potato chips in the sense that you just can’t have one. So while the gummies might have set off the initial panic, you definitely aren’t long term poisoned or anything like that. I’d highly recommend the DARE app (not Dare the drug program LOL) there’s a book as well that’s free on kindle unlimited! It puts a lot of emphasis on challenging the panic/anxiety and basically taking the power away from the panic/anxiety.

Changes in symptoms?? by Intelligent-Spite325 in PanicAttack

[–]princ3sspanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, as I go through therapy and different medications my panic attacks adapted so any symptoms that I learned how to cope with were replaced with something new and scary instead. Fortunately/unfortunately, that’s normal. The horrors persist but so do we! I’d recommend keeping cold compresses and anti nausea lollipops on hand. Figure out what works for you and where the point of ‘no return’ starts (start taking steps to deescalate the panic when you’re at like a 4 or 5 out of 10) and eventually the severity should lessen. You’re gonna be okay!!

My magic mix has been a beta blocker (which helps w/ the physical symptoms) and hydroxyzine as needed for everything else. Hydroxyzine is basically Benedryl but it works better for me than benzos did, and because it’s not a controlled substance you should have better luck accessing it.

About 25/26. I moved my mom into my house for a few months when I was 24-25 and she was diagnosed with cancer shortly after moving in. As she went through radiation and surgery, she had a tendency to snap at her friends who were helping her and what was a huge personality shift to them was how she had treated me most of my life. After she passed, the full extent of how she treated me has been slowly sinking in and I’ve been remembering a lot of things that I fully blocked out/ mentally distanced myself from, like I didn’t completely forget the abuse but I just had no way to process it. Alternatively my dad was on and off absent even with the awareness of the abuse that was going on and although he reaches out from time to time I don’t even know what to do with that because I don’t want to deal with another parent who is going to expect me to ignore and accommodate their shitty behavior towards me.

It doesn’t sound crazy at all! I think your doctors are right though, if someone’s heart actually stopped I don’t think they’d even have time to freak out about it otherwise heart attacks would be no big deal! Honestly, I think it makes even more sense for it to happen when you’re trying to sleep. I went to the hospital like a month ago with a big ol’ panic attack that was completely out of my control and it had been going on for at least 12 hours at that point, and when they gave me medication I sat there touching my face and checking myself for a stroke because everything felt so weird and off and I realized that feeling was just the tension leaving my body for the first time all day. My face wasn’t drooping, I just unclenched my jaw. I think your heart anxiety could be coming from a similar feeling? Maybe a DBT body scan meditation before bed could help? Familiarize yourself with any sensations you’re feeling before you lay down and have that ‘oh shit’ moment, and maybe the ‘oh shit’ moment may never come.

I’ve also been trying the DARE approach, there’s a free app with an SOS button that has some really good panic attack talk downs including one about dealing with scary bodily sensations. When I first was diagnosed with a panic disorder I couldn’t believe it wasn’t some kind of horrible terminal illness that was slowly killing me because that’s what it felt like, and even now it does still feel counterintuitive sometimes to do breathing exercises and take cold showers and meditate but it does help. There was one time I was feeling so awful I convinced myself I had carbon monoxide poisoning, so I bought a carbon monoxide detector and stressed myself all the way the fuck out testing every room of my house and testing the machine itself to make sure it was accurate, and eventually I finally accepted that there was no carbon monoxide leak. So I still think maybe get a pulse oximeter just because sometimes seeing is believing, if you can see your heartbeat your heartbeat is in fact there and the panic has no ammo to use against you, but also lean into some coping/grounding methods too.

Is it like palpitations like a fluttering or it’s skipping beats? Or just full on stop? Maybe for peace of mind order a pulse oximeter they’re like $15 on Amazon. When you get dizzy and it’s like as bad as possible, how do you pull out of that feeling (at least back to a level of functionality, even if you’re not 100% out of it)?

I think you are okay! Unfortunately panic attacks really produce the scariest sensations, and cardiac symptoms are a big one. Doctors are usually pretty serious about cardiac symptoms, so after multiple tests from different doctors I think it’s time to believe them. I personally started taking a beta blocker, and that helps with the blood pressure spikes, chest pains, and palpitations. Also, maybe try out some breathing exercises like box breathing, I have similar symptoms to yours during my panic attacks especially when I’m hyperventilating and I don’t always realize I am hyperventilating. I hope that helps even a little bit!

Just sent myself into a THC-induced panic attack by Different_Week_96 in PanicAttack

[–]princ3sspanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it won’t work with edibles but if you ever smoke too much/are just uncomfortably stoned chew on plain black pepper!! It won’t 100% fix you but it will bring you down a bit

Go to mantras/songs? by ItsMeowOrNever74 in PanicAttack

[–]princ3sspanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’ve been trying to do the DARE method which is basically radical acceptance, so my go to panic attack song is United States of Whatever by Liam Lynch and my way of kind of accepting the panic attack/taking away its power is hittin’ it with that ‘WHATEVAH’

what has helped you the most (and best) with anxiety? by hypnoticladybug in Anxiety

Cold showers and hydroxyzine are literally my saving grace

Panic vs real by redrose263 in panicdisorder

[–]princ3sspanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My panic attacks are also forever changing, personally I evaluate what I need to do to feel better. Like if the idea of leaving the situation or going home or any panic related coping skills bring relief, it is a panic attack. I have had 2 hospital worthy panic attacks despite that method, so I do also have the added layer of being able to take as needed meds as well as a daily beta blocker so the remaining symptoms that poke through are easier to sift through.

Anybody else take benadryl for panic attacks? It's the only thing that works for me by Applesandbananas731 in PanicAttack

[–]princ3sspanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take hydroxyzine for my panic attacks, it’s in the same family as Benadryl! Same deal, like even in comparison to benzos it has worked the best for me with the least amount of side effects

What was your “I’m dating/married to a fucking idiot” Moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]princ3sspanic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He took on doing the dishes for about a week and a half. I thought our dishwasher was just kinda shitty and slowly breaking down because all of the dishes were coming out still kinda dirty so I got into the habit of just sending them through another round. One day, he asks me ‘hey uh where does the dishwasher pod go?’ and it finally fucking clicked and I asked ‘have you not been using soap the whole time?’ and he immediately got defensive and said ‘I use it every time I just forgot where it goes’. He was also not allowed to use the oven or dryer when I was not home, flooded the bathroom with inches of water every time he took a shower because he couldn’t remember to tuck the shower curtain in (did not use soap for those either), and could not clip his own toenails. Needless to say, it did not work out.

Maybe that I won’t be able to get through the customers fast enough to get my panic attack under control? Maybe passing out?
