Escitalopram and risperidone I’ve been on escitalopram 10 and 20mg for about 7 years now. Tried to quit last year and it went SO horribly i started back at 20mg but my psych feels weak and sensitive compared to before stopping. I have agoraphobia and panic disorder. I finally saw a psychiatrist who prescribed risperidone but i’m scared as hell to take it. I had full body dyskinesia after taking metoclopramide a while back and after i saw that risperidone can cause that as well as tardive dyskinesia I’m terrified. Do you guys have any insight?

I messed up at work today and I'm terrified to go in tomorrow I messed up on a task at work today, right before i logged off for the day. The client escalated to my manager, and now I have an email from him saying we need to talk about this with the larger team to avoid such mistakes going forward. I know its not that big of a mistake, but I've just been really anxious about it for the last couple of hours. I feel like throwing up thinking about going in to work tomorrow. I get anxious thinking about a regular day at work everyday, so this added stressor feels like a bit too much to handle. I hate that I'm letting this take control of myself. How do people with anxiety deal with such situations at work / school ?

I’m scared to move away from my home city, because I will miss my parents. I want so badly to move out, and explore new things. I also don’t want to be far from my family. I have always been super close to my family, and I find comfort in living close to them. I feel anxiety just thinking about not having my mom around when I’m sad, or my dad around to talk about the hockey game. Or my grandma to talk about anything. I am 21, and I live on my own, but I’m still in the same city as my family, so they are right there whenever I need them. How can I conquer my fears, and live in a new place, and explore new things, even if it’s just for a year or two. I’ve wanted so badly to move in with a friend who has an extra spot, but again, the anxiety of being without my family is so scary. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

How to get off your smartphone? I tried going cold turkey for a week I tried going cold turkey off my smartphone and my anxiety is going through the roof. Had to take a valium. I just thought that i am spending way too much time on my smartphone, that I am addicted. 6-10 hours a day on average. So much screen time is like reality avoidance to me and is hijacking my dopamine levels, probably overstimulating my brain causing more anxiety longterm. Tried listening more to music, podcasts, audiobooks but it’s not enough. I guess I am addicted to my phone. Anyone have a similar experience and knows a way out?

Small vent, I couldn’t accurately state my objection when going for coffee with co-worker So this morning I already bought a coffee and just started to drink it at my desk when a co worker came by and ask if I wanted to go get coffee. I said yes and said I will just continue to drink this one I have, but he said just get another one. For some reason he thought I was finished and said to get another one. He did eventually buy me another coffee so I just through out my half drunken coffee in the trash since he bought me one. I felt disappointed in myself for not being more clear. In this types of situations I have a problem making myself heard clearly and precisely. I guess there more work to be done. Thanks for the vent session.

I just need to rant I really try to figure out whether or not reddit is something healthy to have. I enjoying being in this group and others to find support and to help people but man… this place can be so toxic and triggering. I have health issues and one of those is severe sinus problems do I joined a group to get advice. Later on I get a commenter basically undermining my symptoms (like every doctor is) telling me my symptoms aren’t sinus related (which they are) and ended it by basically saying it’s my anxiety and all in my head. I check his other comments to people and they were equally as rude and trying to humiliate people. I reported them to the mods and I was met with one of those most immature people to walk the planet. They told me that my complaint was ridiculous amongst other things, banned me from the group, muted me from messaging them and then now reported me to reddit for harassment. How are people so cruel and have so much hatred and immaturity? Now i’m scared i’m going to lose my account because they want to try and get me banned.

Coming to terms with anxiety as an adult, looking back it was pretty obvious and nobody talked about it. Hi friends, new poster here. Turns out my entire family suffers from anxiety, and nobody shared this with me. My mom was medicated for it briefly, my dad is medicated for it and also has PTSD, and it runs in both sides of the family. I figured it out in my early 20's and I have been seeing all these things about myself in a new light ever since. Currently suspicious that I might have ocd. Something I am frustrated with is that I had a lot of signs and symptoms, but was quieter than my siblings so it got brushed off all the time. In highschool I had one friend, and she was always telling me I was a worrywart, and openly mocked me about things I did. (For example, I could never just cross a street. Had to be with the walk signal, and then I would RUN across it, and one day she made a big deal about it to my face) Nobody ever asked WHY. Why I had almost no friends, why I didn't learn to drive until I was almost 30, why I am always going around giving people warnings about their safety. One time I had a complete breakdown after my parents got divorced, which was very rare for me. And my mom said "she's just being dramatic and wants attention" and that was the end of that. I was also "the responsible one". They just don't have time for my feelings. I try to talk to my dad, who seems like the person who would understand the most, and I'll say "I have been figuring out some stuff about driving and being anxious" and he will go "SPEAKING OF ANXIETY AND DRIVING, YOUR SISTER HAS COME ALONG SO FAR IN HER DRIVING!" Or I will try to tell him I think I might have ocd and he will use this tone of disbelief and try to poke holes in what I'm saying to him. Sorry for the long post. I'm just grateful that sometimes I can find places on the internet to talk about it. I don't have the worst anxiety in the world, but it's always there, all the time. I appreciate that you folks are able to take it seriously. Thank you for that.

How to Move On Why, with health anxiety, is it so difficult to accept things are okay and move on? Say you’ve spent a lot of time worrying about a specific condition and then been given the all clear (found out that everything is normal and you are okay)… why don’t you just feel the relief? I find myself, having been “given the all clear” still in mental turmoil, as if all those thoughts and worries are still there and just aren’t sure where to go. Does any one else struggle with letting go of these worries even after they “resolve”? Any tips for getting there faster? (I am currently on anti depressants to help cope with anxiety).

How do I deal with sounding nervous on the phone? I recently got a job where I am now working in an office. I recently have worked in an office environment before and had to answer phone calls, and did not experience the amount of anxiety that I am experiencing now. I believe it’s because now I have to follow a script and make sure I provide certain information and hit certain benchmarks etc. I’ve noticed that I have a lot more anxiety and stumble on my words and give wrong information and I just want to know how I can handle that and deal with it? This is a new job. I’ve only been here for about two weeks and maybe I’m being too hard on myself but I really want to provide the best service and show my employers that they made a good choice, so what should I do? Have any or do any of you guys work in an office and or working on call-center? I would love your guys advice. Thxxx

Fear and feeling of passing out I always have the constant fear of passing out and have health anxiety and panic disorder. I went to the urgent care the other day and all the test turned out normal. I then went to a therapist yesterday and she prescribed me Prozac and Lorazepam( as needed). Has anyone else ever struggled with this and how long does it take to get through it?

Insomnia Anxiety & Stress Right so for a few weeks everytime I try going sleep my heart is pounding due to anxiety and then as I'm falling asleep I'm gasping for breath and anxious sensation kicks in and also getting hyponic jerks at the same time.

It all started in January due to health anxiety and over time it's gotten worse and now it's moved on to sleep anxiety aswell. So I'm getting anxiety because I'm wondering how to go sleep.

Help for when your anxiety turns physical? I've had panic attacks and such, but one thing that's a bit more off and on is how anxiety affects my stomach. When I had daily stomach pains in elementary school that were unexplained - it now makes sense that it was definitely anxiety brewing. I'm going through a period right now where my stomach is just revolting against me. I have the urge to go just about all day every day, and will sometimes go 2-4 times a day (when my usual is once a day), plus it's now usually loose, which wasn't an issue before. The only thing I've found to kind of help is Tazo Zen tea. It does ease the stomach upset a bit, but I also can't drink THAT much of it before making myself nauseous/even more sick. How does everyone deal with this in terms of their anxiety? I only have this issue on weekdays when I have work, I'm usually normal on weekends, so it's obviously the anxiety. I just feel tortured by my stomach right now. I also meditate, which only helps for me while I'm actually doing it, so the anxiety comes right back as soon as I open my work computer, basically. Anything soothing for the stomach would be great... although I will say, I am currently dieting (wedding in June) and trying to stick to low-point foods/drinks on WW.

Does your anxiety affects your self confidence? I found out that in times where my social anxiety was really bad this would also heavily influence my own self confidence and self worth. I would beat myself up for everything I did which made it even harder to overcome my social anxiety. What do you think about this?

Has anyone had similar experiences? Any opinions or advice going forward would be very much appreciated. Many thanks!

There is so much quackery surrounding anxiety treatments. Outside of prescription drugs, what has worked for you? I see a lot of sites pointing to Vitamin B Complex helping, but at the pharmacy there is an entire row full of "we don't need FDA approval because we know it doesn't do anything anyway" type of pills. So, what have you found actually worked for you?

Sudden paranoid feeling that I have never experienced in 10 years living with anxiety disorder Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience whilst having an anxiety disorder where they felt a sudden paranoid feeling. I was trying to fall asleep at night and switched off my lights. All of a sudden I felt this weird panic and paranoid feeling that there might be some supernatural creatures (like a ghost) in my room. I was eventually able to convince myself that its an irrational thought but was scared for a few minutes. I am on therapy and escitalopram.

I need help with quitting job This week, I started a construction job I wasn't 100% sure about. My coworkers and supervisors are nice people but the job isn't what I expected. Some tasks were understated when I applied for the job and in the interview but the tasks actually require a significant amount of my daily effort. Also I'm underpaid relative to what I was paid in my previous job as well as no paid break. However, the job is 30 minutes from my house so cheaper public transportation. So because they're nice to me, patient, and welcoming I feel very uncomfortable telling them I'll quit even though the job contract says neither party has to give notice. Also, I've always been an agency worker and the idea of having to give 2-3 weeks notice provides endless anxiety. In an agency job I could just phone or text and say I won't return the next day. I have no experience telling my supervisor I'm leaving a job

A lot of anxiety over this so I need advice please. The following is a text I really wanna send this girl in my class. I like her a lot she is really pretty, I have no idea how she feels about me, but the past two girls I’ve been talking to I never was really upfront about how I felt in the slightest and they both have found their own relationships and it really made me angry with myself for not being honest. Granted I’m not actually saying I like her in the text or anything but I feel it would be implied lol. But any advice would help. We send each other homework and help each other in class but that’s it. She is really awesome. I really don’t mean for this to be awkward lol but it probably is anyway. I was trying to tell you in class yesterday without everyone hearing and turning around, but I thought you looked really beautiful and I just chickened out and didn’t say it for some stupid reason. But it’s been eating at me because I’d rather feel like an idiot who made someone feel good about themselves than an idiot who didn’t ❤️. Really trying not to be weird I’m just trying to get better with this stuff and saying how I feel. But I recognize I probably made it weird.

Anybody feel this? My cardiophobia has been on the ups and downs recently. I have felt the occasional ectopics before but usually happens when I’m anxious. Last night I was in bed and was good just browsing my phone when all of sudden I felt this weird feeling, instead of a double beat or hard thump (ectopics) it felt like my heart had stalled or stopped and then it felt like this weird empty feeling in my chest that made me jump up scared and then I felt a surge of fear and adrenaline. The actual feeling only lasted about one or two seconds. I had this Same thing happen one other time while being in the car, like I feel a dropping feeling in my chest like when you get bad news and then I felt the same feeling I explained^^ afterwards … Anyone else felt this before?

Help with accepting anxiety I'm 30 years old male from México. Since mid january almost to today, I'm been having everything, chest pains, chills, heartburn and I feel the pain in the chest, arms, neck and sometime in the teeth because of clenching my jaw, also burping and yawning like crazy. I've done 3 electrocardiograms in lest than a month and everything came out ok, no hypertrophy, not ischemia, nothing, a healthy heart. I've been into ER three times, the second the most severe I had everything, chest pain, brain zap, stomach felt like it collapse and when I got connected into a machine and they told me that I had nothing, I was fine, my lungs where ok and my heart was ok, when they told me that, all the feelings went dissapearing slowly to feel normal again. And this happend the the third time, when I got severe chest pain, the ambulance came to My house and the paramedics connected me into an electrocardiogram machine and told me that I was ok, My heart was ok only that I need to check my pressure because was a bit high and as I was ok they didn't take me to a hospital, I went to ER anyways to check my pressure and again I was ok a bit high but nothing to hospitalize me. In the end I've been with múltiple doctors even a friend that is also a doctor and they told me the same, I'm at zero risk from a heart attack right now, I'm physically healthy, my collesterol levels are ok, a bit high in the ldl side, but everyone told me that is nothing to worry about. And in the last electro with the chest pain, something should have come out if it was really the heart and that I wouldn't be able to talk or walk as I was everytime. My friend even told me that I wouldn't be there with him as with younger people it tend to be more painfull and more fatal. So in the end the only thing I have left is to accept my anxiety, but I don't know how, every time I want to believe is anxiety, something new comes out and make me doubt about my heart health, I'm literally going crazy. I also being doing things like running and long walks to see if I get unusally tired but that never is the case. What advice can you give me to deal with this, have any of you have pass for something similar?? Thanks for reading and sorry for the long post, but I wanted maybe to vent a little

I have a golden opportunity. Fear and anxiety takes hold of me. Hello everybody. I'm about to get the opportunity to go on an all-expenses paid (totally free) one week trip to the Netherlands with colleagues. But I'm afraid to go in case anxiety takes over me being away from home. Almost two years ago I had my first bout of anxiety for no apparent reason. One day it came and took hold of me and I spent more than a month in a daze without being able to leave the house or walk down the street... Hopefully I managed to "get over it", but I feel that this period/stage marked my life as always. Now I live in fear and things that I liked to do before I have stopped doing or I don't do them for fear that it will make me anxious. Among them, I always planned to travel as much as possible with family and friends the day I had a stable job and recurring income. Well, now I am in that situation but I do it for fear of getting anxiety outside the house, not being able to control it and the situation exploding. I still remember the panic attacks I used to get for no reason (I had no reason to) and I shudder.... It was the worst situation and time of my life. I feel that it has marked me forever. My life is highly limited and I'm quite young...

Does anyone else who works heavily with spreadsheets sometimes misread things and feel like they're going crazy? I know this isn't strictly anxiety related but it loops back, trust me. My job deals heavily with job tracking on spreadsheets and recently I've had several instances where I spot something, go to point it out to someone, and it's gone.. or its just different than I thought. And then I look like a moron. And that triggers my anxiety because now I feel like everyone thinks I'm an idiot. I don't know what's going on. Its been happening to me for weeks. I'll be asked "why did you date this for last week?" and I look and I'm like I don't fucking know, but there's my name, and there's the date, and it's obviously wrong! Or someone asked "Was this requested in 2022?" And I swear I looked it up and found it! So I asked someone about it, and then it was gone. Like it never existed. Poof! Vanished. Did I somehow develop dyslexia at 38? Am I losing it? What's going on?? I feel like I look like such an idiot to my colleagues all of a sudden and I worry about my future.

Job anxiety Hi everyone! I'm writing here because I have pretty bad anxiety and panic attacks and recently I got a job. I've been on the job for about a week now. Even tough I don't see myself on this job in the future and I don't really like it , I really need money so I had to work until I find what I like. While It hasn't been terrible I get anxiety attacks almost daily, sometimes there is nothing to trigger them, they just come. If anyone here is in simmilar situation please tell me how you manage? I really don't want to embarass myself but sometimes I can't control all that anxiety. I take xanax sometimes but I don't want to do it daily.

What should I do? Gaming Anxiety I'm currently playing a video game, but long story short, my question is: Although it's unreasonable and extremely unlikely I'm worried that my account is going to be deleted and it's a 100+ hour game. So, I can either just cut my losses (Only 5 hours in) and start a new account, giving in to the anxious thoughts and discomfort. Or keep going feeling bad playing this account I'm currently playing, but could maybe get over at some point? But my basic question is, to get over anxiety do I have to push through it when it's really hard? Or let my self off sometimes? ​ I'm had gaming anxiety for about a year and a half, it's really affecting my enjoyment with them, I always feel that my gameplay experience is being tarnished in some way, example: Feeling that I'm wasting it feeling anxious, The game is going to bug out on me causing me to have to restart etc. ​ Thanks in advance!

Fainted during a blood test last year, need some advice Hi All, I never had an issue with needles, no fear whatsoever. I got bloodtests regulary. I had a bloodtest last year, and I'm very pale and the nurse had issues finding a vein. Anyway, she just stuck it in and said " oops " I felt a sharp pain up my left arm, she must have pierced a nerve. I felt light headed and sick and next thing I woke up a few minutes later lay down on the bed, I passed out It was the weirdest experience as it's never happened before. I need to have another blood test soon and I keep putting it off out of fear of this happening again. Are there any meds that can help? ​ I have diazepam and propranolol, not sure which one would help. My doctor gave me diazepam before I was last supposed to have one, but I cancelled. any advice would be greatly appreciated

Every time I make mistake, she makes this mad face and cross her arms. It make my heart rush. When I get very nervous and anxious, I can throw up or have a seizure. I told my my mom that she triggers my anxiety. She was mad and started yelling at me because she was one of triggers to my anxiety. For now I’m practicing with my new driving teacher. The teacher is relax and cool.

are those anxiety attacks? throwaway acc. a little bit about myself i’m a 23 F, bi in a very religious country, i have 9-5 job, shit family but i’m really used to it. after several suicidal attempts my last one was 9 months ago, not gonna go into details of how i did it but i had a very bad inflammation and stomach ache! did go to the hospital for “being sick for no reason”, docs told me that my test all came back fine and i should just rest (not really sure how but i was glad). in the next days i had the worst chest pain i’ve ever experienced and i definitely thought i was gonna have a heart attack and die, one day it got really bad and my heart raced like crazy and i was shaking but no one was around and after a couple of minutes i was ok. i guess it was a panic attack (never had one before) so i brushed it off like nothing happened. in the next months i have been having these weird chest pain i thought i had a problem with my heart, but as days went by i noticed that the pain gets so much worst when i think about certain things. i’ve done so much to get rid of the pain yet it seems like it only gets worst. i was watching a video on youtube the other day about a medical case and when they started to describe the symptoms that the patient had I HAD THE WORST CHEST PAIN SO FAR!! my heart was racing and my chest tightened i couldn’t breathe! googled it and got an “anxiety test”, idk what to do. it really fucked me up i thought i was crazy. p.s: every time i get the chest pain i would google my symptoms and only get “HEART ATTACK” and “IMMEDIATELY CALL 911”, it makes the pain way worst…. i need tips on how to control my anxiety please!

I hate getting anxiety attacks over small shit. so, just a second ago my phone stopped randomly working. I could open apps but couldn’t scroll or do anything once I was in the app. I got super anxious and was at the verge of TEARS because Im a fucking idiot that was like “oh god now my phones not working now I need to save up money so I can buy a new phone because this phone will never work again!!!” I hate that I get scared for such small things, cause I’m tired of getting anxiety attacks over my charger not working for half a second, thinking I’ve dropped my keys only to find out they’re in my back pocket or something. It’s horrible and I want it to stop, right now.

meditation and overthinking to be honest, i’ve only tried meditating twice now. but i’ve seen amazing results. the first time i did it for 10 minutes, and immediately after i felt calm enough to send an email to my boss that i was anxious about sending. about 10 mins ago i started it again and i’m honestly so surprised with the result. i feel like i can focus on my university goals and can stop myself from scrolling endlessly. all of the voices in my head disappear and are replaced with what feels like 1 good “leading” voice. it makes me feel a lot happier knowing i can dedicate 10 minutes of my day to just breathing in absolute silence without having to stress over anything in that time. hopefully in the future this can do more amazing things

Omega 3 for anxiety I have been yawning and trying to catch my breath for the past few hours always caused by anxiety and stress from working out. It honestly feels horrible like I can’t catch my breath. And no I don’t have asthma…I’ve checked every type of doctor and seen a lung specialist when my anxiety was the worst during covid. I decided to have a healthy protein filled snack just now and ate a whole pack of sardines which was 44g in protein. It also had about 3000mg of omega 3 in the 1 pack/2servings and now I feel extremely calm, relaxed, and can breathe normal. Thinking of taking at least 2000mg amount of omega everyday to combat anxiety now as it seems to work extremely well. Has anyone else had this experience??

Anybody else get intense left chest pain from panic attack? That also radiates to left shoulder blade ? After tests and every thing coming back normal, my doctor told me they are panic attacks . Can’t believe you can get intense left side chest pain like that.

Scared I have MS Hey, I have been having really bad health anxiety for the past week in a half. Pain started in my right index finger. I thought it was because I write and type a lot so I started to rest it. Over the past week, my finger has gotten better but other parts of my body have really been hurting. One day, my shoulders were killing. One night I woke up and my back was killing. The next day, my legs were in so much pain. Now I am just feeling a bit of pain in my back. I am not really active and nothing traumatic happened to me either. I think I just have anxiety in general but these pains are really freaking me out. I also got blood work done today so I'm waiting for the results. I shouldn't have, but I have been searching up my symptoms online and it kind of sounds like MS, with pain moving around my body. I have never had any medical issue like this before and I am kind of freaking out. I am also in my last semester of university and I just want to be done. I just needed to rant lol

Diagnosed with "Anxiety"? Is it a real thing or comment about struggles? I got my discharge letter from child mental health services and it had the usual things in. But it then had a paragraph saying "it's important to note the patients diagnosis of ... And anxiety" a different psych told me the anxiety is from a different disorder I disagree but still it seems weird I wasn't told or discussed with about it. And only "anxiety" a close family member has GAD and another has social anxiety but never heard of it like how they wrote it. I don't really care what label is put on me for myself but my new mental health team is going to get this letter and prescribe medication/therapy accordingly. As I do really struggle with anxiety I'd like to get help for it but this seems like it's not a legitimate things and just a passing comment. If it helps they removed eupd from the original psychiatrist and added "anxiety" is it just people don't like diagnosing bpd so used this as a substitute? I live in care so although I don't like having the label bpd it does give my support workers different expectations (emotional disregulatuion, abandonment issues, destructive behaviour). I've emailed both psychiatrist but it seems as I'm not their patient amymore they won't respond lol

How to get over embarrassment over having an anxiety attack at work? So the other day I had a full blown anxiety attack at work. All of the sudden my heart started racing, my whole body was shaking so bad, I felt like I couldn't breathe, and I was terrified. The fact that this was happening at work made it 1000% worse. I was with a coworker, and had to run to the bathroom for like 10 minutes to try to calm down. I barely calmed down, but went back out to help customers. I was probably obviously shaking like a lunatic, but I did my best to work through it. I was honest with my coworker and told them what was going on. This is a job that I've been doing on and off for several years. Nothing bad happened, but my life has been chaotic lately and it just snowballed right then and there. How do I get over the embarrassment of this happening not only in front of my coworker but customers too? I still don't know if my coworker told my boss, but if they had, I'm sure my boss would have reached out by now. The last time I had an anxiety attack this bad was about 2.5 years ago. So it's not a common occurrence, but when I go back to work I'm afraid of it happening again, or about repeat customers commenting on it. I just feel so ashamed and like a total loser. I'm in my mid twenties, this shouldn't be happening. I want to hide in bed forever.

Evening Scaries? Hi Friends- I'm struggling with the evening scaries. I am an Aphant, inner monologue only, zero visual abilities, fact-based recall exclusively. I'm struggling in the evenings. Typically it would be called something like the Sunday Scaries I'm experiencing. However, it is every evening now. To my knowledge, I do not dream at all in any traditional sense. I'm feeling a physical, visceral reaction to going to bed. There is an overwhelming anxiety to it that is almost paralyzing. It has been happening for a while, but now I'm ready to mention it to yall. Once I get to bed, I fall asleep, no problem. It is getting there. It's terrifying. For some reason, my body refuses to go. I have anxiety, but this doesn't feel like worse. It feels like something else, a sense of dread or fear. What I've tried: cut caffeine out, eat a proper supper, and have recent blood work done. Breathing exercises, tea etc. I'm doing the things I can think of to help. But I can't shake it. Everyone's knee-jerk is to visualize me somewhere else, and well..... I can't. Any feedback would be incredibly appreciated! Right now I’m sticking to a Xanax, unisom, and melatonin to get me to bed.

Is anyone else's anxiety fueling your depression because nothing seems to work? Everyone says try drinking more water. Doesn't work. Try changing your diet. Doesn't work. Deep breathing exercises? Doesn't work. **Try exercising**. Kinda works but it comes back shortly after my workout. L-Theanine? Heard great things about it. Makes my anxiety worse. Oh what about Magnesium Glycinate? Makes my anxiety worse. The only thing that helps me personally other than prescription drugs which I am trying to stay away from is hiking in nature on a sunny day. But even then, as soon as I leave, it comes back. I know everyone's symptoms are different but shortness of breath is the main symptom I experience. Even saying a sentence these days I feel out of breathe. I wish I can destroy the parts of my brain that trigger anxiety every second I'm alive.

Anxious about wisdom teeth removal For context, I'm 17, I have nasty anxiety, and next Wednesday I'm getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth out. I'm going under general anesthesia and this will be my first time. I've been pretty anxious about the whole thing but as the days creep closer it's been getting worse. I talked to my mom, who is a long time nurse, about my anxieties and she gave me plenty of reassurance but it's still just freaking me out. I'm more worried about the anesthesia than the surgery itself/recovery. Not worried so much about not waking up but the whole idea of anesthesia as a whole just scares me. Something about falling asleep immediately and not being in control has always made me anxious. I also know all those dumb videos are mostly staged but I'm worried about not being able to control my mouth once I wake up, not sure how loopy it'll make me. So yeah, that's it. if you guys have any advice or anything I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm freaking out All my worst fears have been realized. I have had strep throat (confirmed by doctor) for 3 weeks and now I just tested positive for covid (rapid antigen). I spent the night at my partner's and now I'm terrified I got them sick too. They just got over covid a month ago. I would never forgive myself if I got them sick. I am staying in an air bnb rn because I've just lost my apartment and I'm supposed to catch a flight on friday to move back in with my family who lives an ocean away. I don't know how this is going to affect my flight and my mental health. I feel physically and mentally ill. I just don't know what to do.

Zoloft is making my life 10x better I switched from Lexapro to Zoloft and the difference is unbelievable. I am no longer yawning and tired every day, I am no longer gaining weight. I am no longer having panic attacks (fingers crossed)! I never thought switching to Zoloft would be this impactful. I have virtually no side effects, other than a few days of nausea when I started.

Not liking seeing others touch others Seeing people touch other people makes me so uncomfortable or mad. I just don't like thinking about how people hold hands or lean on each other, especially when i know there's some sort of feeling behind those interactions. I don't mind when people touch me unless its a special cercomstance but seeing others for example my friends touch each other just ruins my mood, I don't want to be thats guy that ruins the cive while hanging out, any tips?

Anxiety

I cant function anymore, my cognitive abilities are much worse than back in the days. i am emotionally unstable and cry a lot. long story short: for a better understanding, i harmed my body and soul so many times because of untreaded trauma ( i think), i drink booze on the weekends since my 18th birthday, and later some party drugs came in. if i would have a glimpse of which pain i will live through back in the days i would have never touched any drug. i had so many breakdowns in the last 3 years and it feels like i will never be the person again i was. with the booze and the drugs came panic attacks and anxiety disorders. i am not the same anymore and dont know if this ever will pass. i feel miserable, no energy, cant laugh anymore, its like being buried alive. how did some of you guys survived this and are your cognitive functions and general well being better? i just try with all in my power to get healthy mentally and body. im thankful for every help out there, thank you for taking time to read my story.

can I talk to anyone 😭😭😭😭

Anxiety

asking someone to repeat themselves is anxiety inducing so today i went to get my nose pierced. the guy piercing my nose spoke at a low volume at times, so it was hard to hear what he was saying to me. there were two instances where i felt very anxious after asking him to repeat himself. first he said something to me while i was signing something. i said “hmm?” and stared at me for a few seconds before saying nevermind. from that moment on, i was anxious, thinking about him talking more and me not being able to hear him. he did end up talking again. he asked me which side i wanted the piercing on. i said “hmm” three times because i just couldn’t hear him. he stared at me for a few seconds before saying it one more time, slowly and in a seemingly annoyed tone. i was so ready to leave the shop. he said to come back if i had any issues with my piercing.. i really hope i don’t have any. i’m already thinking about me not being able to hear him again and him staring me down while looking annoyed. i really feel like i annoyed the guy but i didn’t mean to. i just couldn’t hear him well at times. this happened at 3pm. it’s 1am rn and it’s still bothering me..

I had an anxiety attack and tried to write my feelings in the form of a poem. The Test As the test looms closer, my heart starts to race, It gets difficult to breath, and I'm not ready to face. I try to focus on studying, but my thoughts are a haze, Time passes as I stare the page, and now I don't have enough days. I have set some expectations, and I can't see myself fail, In a state of denial, isn't there anything I can do to pervail. I push myself harder, but the pressure starts to assail. I wanna just give up, but a part of me doesn't let me abstain. The pen feels so heavy, and I can't sustain, My hands are trembling, my confidence is waning. I'm incompetent, or maybe this exam is worth nothing, It doesn't matter, right now it's the only thing for which I'm livin' Who knows what'll happen if I fail,It's not easy living as someone not winning. Yeah and then I failed in 2 subjects out of 5

Any medication that is not addicting like hydroxoline? Antidepressants are a fucking nightmare for me and I'm taking a break from them. I'm currently listed as severe anxiety, depression, ect. I'm going to start on hydroxoline 25mg since 10mg did 0 effect on me. I'd like to have a list on medicine that isn't like antidepressants where I can have withdrawals if I stop.

Time for my checkup. Very anxious after I had a cancer scare last check up. Tips? Trigger warning: talk of cancer I’m 30f and I like to think I’ve somewhat defeated my anxiety. I used to have awful panic attacks daily and I’ve been panic attack free for months, I can’t remember my last one. But as my checkup approaches my anxiety is starting to return and im noticing my techniques are working less and less. My last check up in October seemed totally fine, then I got a call 2 weeks later saying something wasn’t right and it might be cancer. After 6 weeks of waiting and biopsies, it wasn’t cancer, but was the most advanced stage of precancer. I had surgery and got the “all clear for now.” I will have to be checked every 6 months for 3 years. I got a call to remind me that I need to come in soon and I’m just sort of freaking out. Knowing I’ll be waiting around for 2 weeks just expecting to see that number pop up and tell me it’s back or it’s cancer this time. Any advice for when your anxiety is around something very real, but also probably not likely (my doctor thinks it won’t come back and that I’ll be ok).

Ativan Does anyone else suffer long enough with anxiety symptoms that they also feel shame for having to take a benzo even when it’s taken as prescribed / not very often .

Tired of my anxiety being a burden to others I feel like this is a safe place to vent... When I have anxiety episodes (big or small) I get so embarrassed anymore about it. I don't want to put a damper on someone else's day when they are trying to understand why I feel the way that I do. It's also getting harder and harder for me to describe my feelings and reasons for my anxiety. I just wish that I could turn my feelings off, even if it were just for a day. Okay, venting over. Let's hope for better days ahead. :/

Recommendations for supplements I want to find natural supplements that calm down anxiety, I tried Lion's Mane Mushroom but it gave me terrible vertigo and I had to stop it. I've had anxiety my entire life but I've never been to a psychiatrist and I don't like the amount of side effects that anxiety meds give. My anxiety is severe. I'd appreciate it if you can recommend any supplements that would make it at least a little better. I have hand tremors that make me throw things and my sleep quality is terrible.

Anxiety

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever have a hold on my anxiety. I obsess a lot over having a passion. It's really dumb, I know. But I think it's just my brain trying to find a sense of direction after a really bad depressive episode. It makes me go in constant circles, trying to figure out what activity is going to magically put me on the fast track to happiness. Even though I know things are not this simple, my brain still thinks of things in this way. It's really stressful to worry about what activities to do and what will make you happy in the long run instead of just living life. That's all any of us can do, no matter how much we overthink. I am upping my lexapro dosage, so hopefully that helps. I know it takes a month or so for SSRIs to kick in, and I have only been on my new dosage for a week and a half, but I don't feel much better. I have a therapist too, and she hasn't been much help, even though she tries. I have just been struggling with this weird obsession for so long and I have been through so many cycles I just don't think I will ever break out of this mindset.

How do I keep myself from constantly coming into conclusion base on my intuition? Hi, I'm Peter, 20. Recently I've been thinking of bad things happening base on my intuition. Most of these bad things are related to my relationship with the people around me. I'm constantly thinking that they have something against me or they're betraying me. This started last year, 2022 after the restriction, because of the pandemic, loosened. I had a group of friends that I was with and had a few drinks together, had fun, and typical stuff you do with your friends. After a fee months, I felt something was wrong. Even though they are not showing it, I feel it that they don't like me. I confronted them about it, and they said "no". But few days after that, someone told me what they've been saying about me. I felt betrayed and sad. After that unfortunate incident, I've been having trust issues and I trust my intuition more than ever. Now, I'm talking to someone. He's sweet and gentle. He works hard and is independent. He talks to me even though he's tired, I really feel that he's someone to keep. But today, I just felt that something's wrong. He called me but he didn't speak. I called him back but didn't answer. I texted him what's wrong, if he's okay. He answered me "yupp". That was it, not even an explanation. I don't know if I should tell this guy that what he did triggered my anxiety, and I suddenly felt that he's unto something. I don't want to think much about it because I actually like him. Should I tell him after his shift or I should keep it to myself and see what the future holds for me?

what’s happening? i’ve always known i have pretty bad anxiety, and i was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in the past year. today a pretty scary situation happened and i’ve started realizing that i lose memory of events that cause me a lot of anxiety, or i’ll forget a lot of details about them. it happened only two hours ago and i wouldn’t be able to explain the situation to someone if they were to ask me about it now. i know i have anxiety but i can’t recall times of feeling incredibly anxious. i know it happens because i know how it feels, i just don’t remember why i was feeling it. i was wondering if anyone experienced anything similar, and if someone knows what might be going on? thanks.

I really need some help with managing my anxiety when it comes to lack of cleanliness Hey everyone. I'm new here. I'm writing this to be very transparent and to ask for help. I don't want to ruin my relationship or participate in toxic communication habits. I am finding that my anxiety really acts up when my apartment isn't clean. My husband and I both aren't the best when it comes to doing the dishes as soon as we use them or cleaning up clothes right away. But I feel like I atleast take initiative and try. I feel he usually won't start cleaning on his own unless it's his own stuff or I practically yell at him to. I feel like I shouldn't even have to ask my partner to care about taking care of our home. I can't be the only one doing it. I'm honestly losing it because sometimes I get so frustrated and anxious, I do get mad quickly. How do I change this? It's not even like I want to be mad, it just happens because I've reached my limit mentally. I'm not on meds, I wouldn't even know what to ask for. I feel like I just don't wanna have to ask him to clean anymore. Why can't he just do it on his own? I don't think I'm asking for a lot and I'm made to feel like a bitch or like I'm lecturing him when I'm all I'm doing is asking me to do some chores. In fact, why do I even have to ask? I feel hopeless. I feel stuck. I can't afford a housekeeper every week right now. I can't control him. I just wanna know what I can do to manage my anxiety around this. And please no stupid advice like leave him because we are married. I know this issue can be fixed I just don't know where to start.

Hey guys! Do you relate to this? I would be doing okay then all of a sudden anxiety would just flood and my body was go crazy with adrenaline and brain releasing all chemicals. Then all of a sudden everything stops. Feels like my brain just seizes and stops releasing adrenaline and other chemicals and just goes idle. I feel stuck with a blocked brain that wouldn't get sleepy wouldn't get scared wouldn't do anything. Literally just blocked. It's a weird blank head feeling that would last for days until it gradually feels back to normal again and I would panic for some reason and the brain would go idle again. I don't know how to explain this. Hopefully someone cam relate.

My progress, how I learned to live and progress with my anxiety. I’ve had anxiety for years, since I was very young, I remember being afraid of everything and having phobias of germs, getting sick, heights, flying, driving, certain foods, etc. I was constantly scared as a child and eventually as I went off to college when I was 16 I slowly learned to live with my anxiety. I tried new things, I slowly came out of my shell. When I hit 34.. everything came to a head, I had gone through a major divorce at 33, lived through COVID under constant fear, I was diagnosed with PCOS, was moving across the country in May and was the heaviest I had ever been May 2022. By August 2022 I had lost 70lbs in almost two months because I was so afraid to eat I was basically crying every single day. I couldn’t eat and refused to, my emetophobia was so strong I could barely move everyday. I was in the ER multiple times, having procedures and CT scans done and no one could find out what was wrong with me. It was then that I finally decided that I needed medication, I talked to a psychiatrist for the first time. I felt like a failure, I had been through so much but I couldn’t break this fear and horror of food. Therapy wasn’t helping and I had been so afraid of food that no one could get me to eat more than a bite or two for a whole day. I was prescribed medication because one of its side effects was to rise my appetite, and at first it didn’t work. I felt again, so defeated and exhausted. They put me on a higher dose.. and after a few weeks, I felt hungry. I had cravings again. I felt like finally eating and I was so famished, I finally ate a piece of pizza because the cheese looked so good I couldn’t not eat it. September 2022 I decided to start going to the gym, I was scared at first, I only would go in for 20 minutes 3 times a week. I was so weak, I had lost all my muscle starving myself. October 2022 I went to the gym for the first time for an hour. I went up to the free weights and was discouraged, but then watched some YouTube videos and started building workouts. I walked my first mile without pain. I was eating 1,800 calories a day. I wasn’t as afraid. November 2022 I ate out at a restaurant for the first time in months! I had nachos and they were delicious. I wasn’t afraid! I had my colonoscopy and they found IBS and colitis. I finally had answers to my stomach pains. December 2022 I made a big Christmas dinner with my partner and roommate and I ate a full meal! I was now lifting at the gym 5 times a week. January 2023 I travelled out of the state on a plane! I ate out almost everyday! I enrolled back into school for my masters. February 2023 to now: I workout 5 days a week and I walk 2-3 miles every single day. I keep my body on a routine for my chronic illnesses and I eat a focused healthy diet everyday. Some days are still hard, some days have anxiety.. some days my stomach hurts and I have flare ups randomly. But every bad day has five times better ones. I focus on the positive, I try not to be afraid of anything anymore. And even if I am? I remember it can’t hurt me, and I’ll be okay tomorrow. I wish everyone the best of luck in your journey and recovery 💜

Weird Eye????? Does anybody have problems with their eyes when they have BAD anxiety or one eye in particular? My left eye ALWAYS feels weird almost like there is a veil over it. I have been the the eye doc and they said their is nothing wrong structure wise but I do have dry eye. I was told today it’s a tension headache. My neck and shoulders are pretty tight and sore as well, but my eyes has been doing this long before the tension. I am starting to freak out pretty bad…..

Anxiety

possible somniphobia? lately ive been terrified of going to sleep. i dread it all day. my anxiety has always been worse at night, and it would disrupt my sleep quite a bit occasionally, but recently ive been staying up till 2-4am every night. no matter how tired i am, i force myself to stay awake. i dont know why im so afraid of falling asleep now, i used to love sleeping and looked forward to it. its always made me a bit uneasy thinking about how vulnerable and defenseless you are while sleeping, but its never been this bad. im always convinced that something bad will happen to me or my pets while im sleeping, or that i'll go to sleep and not wake up in the morning (which not too long ago i would've been completely fine with). i havent had a good nights sleep in almost 2 months now. im so exhausted. it feels like i find something new to worry about almost every day, and those anxious thoughts are always the loudest at night. sleep is the last thing i thought i'd ever be afraid of, but here we are i guess.
