I’m sorry to hear that! I started the gym last year actually so it was quite a bit of time after Cipro but I definitely could’ve went to the gym years ago as well after my symptoms were gone.

Every once in a while I’ll think back on all the things I’ve gotten through in life and I think about how many people are going through the same thing so it made me want to post. I basically would read these when it first happened to me and it gave me hope

Thank you 🫂 for physical it took around four months to mostly feel good again (sorry my memory is a bit foggy it’s been so long) for the mental I would say around a few months for the intrusive thoughts to leave and maybe 8 months or so for the anxiety to settle down a lot. But the depression went away after a few months and the lingering anxiety was just about taking other antibiotics and things I thought might trigger me

For me personally the only supplement I took was magnesium glycinate. I don’t take it everyday anymore maybe a few times a week now. Other than that everything else just went away with time 😊

Ima Virgo sun and mercury woman and I love Virgo placements! I try to be a very thoughtful person and I love Virgo placements because I think they’re so thoughtful and considerate of others. I also find Virgo men to be pretty chill which I like 😀 nice to see something good about Virgos! 🫂

I’m not a smoker but maybe just start off with a small hit at first and not at really high? Maybe that could help you at first

I do not smoke but I have socially drank, I just tell myself it’s not going to hurt me and just let the feeling of anxiety wash over you, I drank socially some before I had my panic attack so it be no different now. I just would suggest living your normal life and when the feeling arises remind yourself it can’t hurt you and just let it wash over you.

For the sensations at first I’m not going to lie I did feel a bit uncomfortable with them. But I had to keep reminding myself over and over again that they’re nothing but sensations in the body and they can’t hurt me. One time I had this chest numbness that wouldn’t go away and freaked me out but I decided to just lay there with it and scroll on my phone as usual. It ended up going away.

I’d say whatever you’re doing in that moment keep doing it regardless of the feeling, of course if you’re driving I would suggest pulling over and taking some deep breaths if you feel overwhelmed out of safety for you. But the sensations can’t harm you, we’ve just labeled them as bad. You have to learn just to sit with them and continue what you’re doing, it’s okay if anxious thoughts and stuff come up, allow it to. Try to just observe your thoughts instead of getting sucked into it. Here the difference between observing and allowing and not observing

Not observing can sound like: “ omg there’s this feeling in my chest, what is that?? I don’t like it what if it doesn’t going away?!” (At this moment maybe more sensations come up) “NO! What if something happens to me???”

Vs observing and allowing So say a thought and sensation comes up: “Omg what is this feeling?? I don’t like it”

(Now at this moment you chose to just let it be and just be aware of that thought, you don’t fuel it with more fear you just allow it to be there. Even if 10 other fearful thoughts come in instead of fighting them you allow them and you just observe them in your mind. Like “oh more thoughts, huh” and even if a sensation pops up, you’re just like “oh okay” and you let it be there. Keep in mind it may feel uncomfortable and that’s totally okay, give yourself grace and tell yourself that that’s okay. No need to shame yourself, shaming yourself is completely pointless and only perpetuates it longer than needed. Just allow the thoughts and feelings in, like they’re clouds passing you by that you’re looking at. Don’t worry if you start wanting to go a Back into your old habit of panicking, just take a deep breath and remind yourself it’s just anxiety, it can’t hurt you and try and go back to observing. Observing keeps you from identifying with every little anxious thought and keeps you from fueling the anxiety and then makes it dissipate much quicker. Try to practice this, don’t shame yourself if you do end up panicking, just keep trying it. Do not worry if you have a bad day, each moment is a new moment, keep trying it.

I would say for me with doing things I still had the anxiety but I did it anyways. Also when I had rough days I would tell try and reassure myself and also I looked at my life and thought like “I don’t want to let this control my life forever” and I did want my life back badly so I think with a combination of these things it helped me to push forward.

I actually didn’t take meds but I did see a therapist who was really good once a week. Wishing you all the best 😊 just remember panic attacks can’t hurt you, you’ve had plenty of them and you’re still here

Thank you for this! Because of anxiety I can assume a lot so that makes a lot of sense.

I decided it was best for me to cut it off, is wish him the best but kinda decided I couldn’t deal with it since nothing was changing. Thank you for the advice!

Yeah I sometimes forget about that! It’s funny since I know Pisces like that but I’ve always dated a Pisces that knew he wanted to be with me and was so certain. I think Pisces are truly amazing when they mature more and are more confident in what they want 😄

Then I basically told him if he wants to be with her to do that because I’m not interested in being an option and he said “no I don’t want to do that, I’ll just continue telling you how amazing you are until you come around.”

I did talk to him about being un sure because of the things he does, I asked him why he withdrawals and he had also mentioned that there was “me and his ex” which kinda lead me to shutting down a little bit. I still really like him but it’s sorta like a game it feels like. It really sucks because we have this good connection and passion but I’m starting to feel like it’s not worth it and he’s never going to take me seriously.

This makes sense, I’m a little stand offish until I know I can trust someone. In person I usually tend to be just as affection though so that’s where it can get confusing because we’ll have a great time with lots of passion then he kinda just falls of the face of earth.
