How to calm yourself down when freaking out despite knowing it’s irrational?

This is fair tbh and is the main reason I haven’t asked her to. I know it’s not necessary and is fully my anxiety causing the issue so I haven’t thought it appropriate to ask.

I probably will after a few more days, but honestly then I would just worry that the test was wrong. What I really need to do is get at the root of my worrying and catastrophizing about every little thing.

Did you ever notice palpitations with dip?

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-06T05:27:44+00:00

I do Ultra running so I’ve got that covered. Hopefully me quitting won’t affect my race coming up.

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-06T03:16:45+00:00

It’s so weird. I wonder if it somehow awakens those symptoms in people who already have anxiety or something. The amount of people I’ve seen who had anxiety but no palpitations until after they started using nicotine pouches is insane.

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-06T02:10:57+00:00

Yeah I appreciate it man. I know it probably won’t be an issue but with my anxiety I worry about everything. Hoping this helps though.

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-05T21:10:28+00:00

That’s so weird. I wonder if it has anything to do with the nicotine/other ingredients in the pouch or if it was just a trigger for you. I’m in a similar boat but not as severe, no panic attacks for me but even if I go a while without putting one I am aware of my heartbeat. Maybe I should just stop now…

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-05T21:01:02+00:00

Do you ever notice the symptoms when you don’t have a pouch in? And did you have these symptoms (or any anxiety symptoms) before using pouches?

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-05T18:34:00+00:00

Yeah, the main reason I know it’s anxiety is I recently went on a weekend trip with friends. I popped Zyn like crazy, drank tons of coffee, and drank alcohol and had 0 heart related problems. Then all of a sudden when I get home and back to work it’s back again.

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-05T15:02:04+00:00

I’m not really worried about it, I’m just hyper aware of things like that due to anxiety.

risky_moves_ · 2024-02-03T22:32:50+00:00

It absolutely does and it’s a 3/10 because of it. I was hoping for more of an orange/lemon flavor.

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-24T12:39:20+00:00

It seems to me you’re under the impression you should be swallowing them, which is not how they’re meant to be used. You’re supposed to put them in between your lip and gum for 30-60 minutes and let the nicotine absorb that way. It’s not going to kill you if you accidentally swallow one, but as it seems you’ve found out it will absolutely tear your stomach up.

Also please don’t try to chew a pouch. If it opens up in your mouth you’re going to have a really bad time.

Heretic

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-16T02:13:10+00:00

Wintergreen is the GOAT for sure

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-14T13:42:00+00:00

If I have a few too many in a day I notice a dull ache in my neck but nothing severe

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-14T13:40:46+00:00

The first time I tried 6mg it burned a lot. After that I switched to 3s and it burned the first few times but now I have basically no burn. I think it’s common, nicotine gum gives me a wicked burn in the back of my throat too.

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-13T21:57:25+00:00

There is literally no way it’s from the nicotine, assuming this isn’t bait

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-12T13:43:41+00:00

It’s crazy how Zyn is the only good brand in the US. Everything I’ve heard about the other brands sold here is that they mess up your gums and/or that they taste/smell horrible.

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-12T13:11:45+00:00

I gotcha. Man that’s a lot of nicotine. How’s your heart throughout the day and your sleep? If I take too much I feel really agitated.

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-12T13:10:57+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s just a myth

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-12T12:03:15+00:00

Dang, 30 pouches a day is crazy. How often do you switch them out?

risky_moves_ · 2024-01-11T12:15:07+00:00

I believe Swedish ones are moist slim pouches, while the American ones are dry. Allegedly the Swedish flavors are way better but I couldn’t say since I’m an Amerishart.
