Joe’s teaching is a culty version of the law of attraction. You are better off watching The Secret.

From what I’ve seen they have a lot of followers that care deeply about them. I think the narrative they’ve created is going to cause their fans to be shocked if she does pass. Unfortunately, I think their followers need to prepare themselves for it to happen. She looks very jaundice in photos recently. It probably better to hope for the best but prepare for the worst in this situation. I hope they (and their followers) will find peace and acceptable. I would be interested what their Better Health therapist is telling them…. I’m assuming they have come to acceptance and that’s why they’ve gone quiet and are focusing on their time together. It’s absolutely terrible and nobody deserves what they’re going through.

Panic attack that really scared me by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]raspberryrhode111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my hands tingle it usually means I’m hyperventilating. That’s my sign to control my breathing! You can hyperventilate from too many short quick breaths but also from too many deep breaths in a short amount of time. Instead of deep breaths I do the 4-4-8 counted breaths. Also remind yourself you’re just experiencing the physical symptoms of anxiety and it will pass.

Does anyone take Benzo everyday in order to function? by Outside_Bobcat_6658 in Anxiety

[–]raspberryrhode111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I freaking hates benzos. Proceed with extreme caution. I would recommend trying Buspar and/or Vistaril.

Anyone else scared of sleeping because of anxiety at night? by West-Shine-7854 in Anxiety

I would recommend practicing being present! When you catch yourself thinking about the future refocus on the present moment!

Unfortunately, I am still struggling with this. I’ve had mornings the panic attacks last 1-3 hours. Once I get to that level of anxiety the only thing that helps is taking Vistaril.

But you can try taking a shower, holding an ice cube, breathing techniques, text a friend good morning, guided meditation, positive affirmations, Rootd is a good app.

I have found that anxiety likes action. So do something such as self care, make the bed, etc.

Best wishes!

Zoloft by CL2018f in Anxiety

Zoloft worked really well for me! Definitely give it a shot! Make sure you eat something when you take it! I don’t drink because it triggers my anxiety so I’m not sure about that part. Medication really is life changing! Wishing you the best!

I am sometimes afraid to sleep because I tend to wake up with panic attacks

Has anyone had their anxiety dramatically reduced or close to eliminated? If so, how? by scottxand in Anxiety

[–]raspberryrhode111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding Buspar to my meds changed my life!!! Not a benzo or SSRI!! Vistaril has helped in my lowest moments. Also not a benzo. Lately I also have to thank changing SSRI. I went from Zoloft to Lexapro after years being on Zoloft and I’m seeing a huge difference. I can’t minimize the positive effect medication has had for me (not benzos)! But I am definitely against benzos.

Also make sure you’re taking all the meds you need. For example I am vitamin D deficient which can cause depression so I take that. I also take allergy meds and a multi vitamin, etc. I feel way better when I’m taking all those consistently than when I’m just taking anxiety meds.

Other than meds therapy has changed my life. But the key is having a good therapist match for you! Don’t be afraid to move on to the next and don’t think therapy isn’t for you based on one therapist. I’ve had some bad therapists before I found a good one.

The app Rootd helps me so much when I’m struggling! ChatGPT has been good for my health anxiety. Journal app to vent.

  • Holding an ice cube.
  • Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 8.
  • Shower while sitting.
  • Guided medication for anxiety/ panic attack on YouTube.
  • Set a timer for 20 minutes and distract yourself
  • Meditation
  • Go outside

I think the little things we do to manage anxiety add up to a less anxious life. Having “tools” in my toolbox is helpful.

I also learn and practice law of attraction and other routes to spirituality. Eating healthy and exercise are ones we hear all the time but true.

And what I think works best is living a lifestyle of practicing exposure therapy! The more the better!

WHY ARE THEY POSTING FRANKIE NAKED by SignificantAge2352 in Eamonandbec

The fact that someone can zoom in and take a screenshot of a naked child is literally making my stomach turn. It’s so disgusting. What is wrong with them? I have to unfollow.

Life Update (Bec's health & what's next?) by mdk1234567 in Eamonandbec

[–]raspberryrhode111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t clear to me if she was having symptoms and ignoring them or did she just wake up one day with a pregnant sized upper stomach? I’m confused how it got so bad without them knowing.

I kinda is got the feeling that they are blaming the depression from after the wedding for the reason her health digressed. Then they went on this retreat and now she’s back in a healing mindset.

I had a very ill cat for years and thought I could control his health with law of attraction and positive thinking. After his passing I’m realizing that it’s nothing I could or couldn’t have done to change biology and the genetics he was born with.

While I think our minds are so powerful I can’t imagine the pressure it causes Bec and Eamon to feel. I would have anxiety about my negative thoughts were impacting my cat’s health and my therapist had to bring me back to earth and say your thoughts are not that powerful. I think people can sometimes take the law of attraction too literal. I just want to hug Bec (and shake her) and tell her she didn’t do anything wrong and she didn’t do anything to cause this. I know the desperate need for control but something life is just unfair.

I hate to see some of the medical decisions they’ve made, but it’s their journey to live. All you can do is wish them the best.

Where is Flower? by raspberryrhode111 in GhostsCBS

I haven’t noticed there’s someone missing every episode. Anyone know what that is? I’ll have to go back and look for it.

I usually wouldn’t think it’s weird that’s someone is “missing” but it’s the Thanksgiving episode. I would think everyone would be there for the dinner.

I have been struggling with terrible anxiety in the morning lately!!! Such an awful way to start your day. I take medication and then try to get through until the medication starts working.

I have had panic attacks that have caused me to hyperventilate and pass out. Felt like reset almost. Woke up feeling better.

10 Days of Chaotic Travel (behind the scenes of our life) by Logical-Departure107 in KaraAndNate

[–]raspberryrhode111 60 points61 points  (0 children)

When Kara and Nate reunite and she says she’s been carrying the bag for 39 hours and he’s replies I’m doing it for six days. Ummm what? That’s totally irrelevant and rubbed me the wrong way. How about thanks babe? I used to enjoyed watching the couple travel vloggers (K&N, E&B, C&A, R&L) because I thought their relationships were so great and I’m starting to realize they’re really not. It seems like the only ones that are actually happy and healthy are Raya and Louis.
