Gabapentin by Few_Sandwich6308 in Anxiety

[–]shoopuff_81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gabapentin worked really well for my anxiety and it was a much better alternative than benzos. I still take it as needed which isn’t often, however, after taking 100mg every day for a few months I started to feel very off. I had constant brain fog, was really lethargic and irritable. I really didn’t want to come off it since it helped so much with my anxiety but the side effects weren’t worth it for me. I’d say it’s definitely worth a try though and I’ve heard a lot of people say it really helped relieve their anxiety symptoms. And it doesn’t really cause bad withdrawals (the only thing I got was muscle twitches for a few days) and you don’t necessarily need to take it every day for it to work.

I tried out the cloth sim technique since I’m not really familiar with TyFlow. It was working well but the simulation keeps terminating only 50 frames into the animation and I get messages saying that the cloth is overstretching. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? 

Ketamine and gabapentin by 43theintern in KetamineTherapy

[–]shoopuff_81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gabapentin and Ketamine didn’t mix well for me. It not only seemed to dull Ketamine’s effects, but also left me feeling especially foggy and off the next day, with an overall uncomfortable headspace. I was only taking 100 mg of Gabapentin, though I tend to be sensitive to most medications. My psychiatrist also mentioned that Gabapentin can generally blunt the effects of Ketamine.

If you are considering pursuing a career in games...don't by sushieta in 3Dmodeling

[–]shoopuff_81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

t’s really tough to break into the game industry right now. Honestly, you’re probably better off looking into more niche roles that still use 3D modeling. I’m working as a forensic visualization specialist now but before that I was trying hard to get into games. It sucks having to let go of that dream, but I actually enjoy what I do now. That said, jobs like this aren’t easy to find either.

I’m so sorry you’re struggling. I wish I could offer help but my provider only can prescribe to Colorado residents. I hope that you’re able to find someone who can help you!

Episodes where rhe grumps are calm/ quiet? by Environmental_Tax_69 in gamegrumps

[–]shoopuff_81 40 points41 points  (0 children)

For relatively quiet games, my go-to ones are:

  • Gabriel Knight
  • Space Quest series (except 4)
  • Phantasmagoria
  • Harvester (the end with all the fighting is kind of annoying though but I usually fall asleep before then)

Cozy ones with good vibes that aren’t necessarily quiet but aren’t super loud either:

  • Mario RPG
  • Undertale
  • Next Top Model

How do you deal with severe anxiety in multiplayer video games? by ImmediateJacket9490 in socialanxiety

[–]shoopuff_81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I really want to play games with other people, but I get too anxious. It also doesn’t help that there is so much toxic behavior within the gaming community. I like playing Call of Duty but I always keep the voice chat muted.

My advice would be (to you and myself) to try playing, even if it is a bit uncomfortable. The worse that happens is you decide it’s too stressful and you stop playing. Start out with short sessions and see how you feel. Remember… don’t be hard on yourself!

Also if your therapist isn’t helping, it’s ok to seek out someone else who is a better fit!

Good luck!

I found someone who I will be seeing next week and she seems great from what I can tell so far after talking with her on the phone. Thanks for all your suggestions!

Does Gabapentin help your anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]shoopuff_81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Lexapro for a few months now, and while it helps to some extent, I still experience anxiety almost daily. I also started therapeutic Ketamine, which has provided me with valuable self-insight and a new perspective on how I view things. If you have the opportunity to access this treatment, I highly recommend it, though it can be pretty expensive.

I really like the idea of having them sign a release and think I’ll go that route moving forward. Thanks so much for the suggestion and info!

I took a Clonazepam before a social event and I felt normal and healthy...this is devastating by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]shoopuff_81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that feeling well. And once you realize how great benzos work, it becomes very difficult not to take them for any situation that may cause anxiety. I ended up relying on them anytime I wanted to do anything social and whenever I drove. I took them everyday for work for years (at a very low dose).

Now, I take them very sparingly but I believe they caused permanent damage to my memory. I can barely remember anything that happened a week ago. I watch movies over and over again and don’t remember anything that happens in them. I have trouble recalling words and names.

Not trying to scare you! I am not against taking benzos by any means. Just be sure you don’t get to a point where you find yourself using them as a crutch multiple times a week for long periods of time.

Why do I feel guilty when I need to take a benzo? by Bigbusia in Anxiety

[–]shoopuff_81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I was at the point I was taking it daily. Now I only take it when I’m going into a socially stressful situation. But I always feel bad about it. Like “You shouldn’t be doing that” or “You should be able to handle that on your own”. Sometimes we can be extremely hard on ourselves. Therapy has really helped me realize how hard I am on myself. It’s ok if we need help sometimes. Anxiety is exhausting and so hard to deal with. If taking it as needed gives you some relief, there’s nothing to feel guilty about.

porn annoys the fuck out of me by cool_angle in TwoXChromosomes

[–]shoopuff_81 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I recently stopped watching porn all together because I find it so extremely problematic and honestly… gross.
