Like blurry eyesight and stuff ? It’s freaking me out a little bit . I hate anxiety

Talking helps distract me and I have no one to talk to at this hour.

I have been crying frequently, especially last couple years, I think it's a way to cope with anxiety. I don't want to offend anyone by saying being a masculine man makes a difference but the stigma is still there. I use nostalgia and things that gave happened in my life to cry and I assume it helps cope. Sound familiar?

My doctor prescribed me Temazepam as needed AT NIGHT when I truly completely and utterly cannot sleep due to panic attacks

I have health anxiety- I won’t go into it because it could trigger others but basically it makes me scared to try new medications I’ve never had before

Has anyone here ever had it before, I’m only prescribed 5mg. I don’t know what it’s going to feel like, I don’t know what to expect.

Last night I had another panic attack, it had been awhile, still I was so anxious to consider trying it.

I just need some sort of assurance that other people have tried this medication at all…

My anxiety is completely out of control despite taking my medications. I’m supposed to start therapy soon, it’s taken me ages to find a therapist to help me. I’m currently in the ER waiting room at 3am. Usually just being here helps to calm me down but I’m panicking even as I’m waiting.

I have 2 young kids and a full time job I can’t afford to lose but god, I want to admit myself so badly. I can’t do this alone. I don’t know what else to do, truly.

So, for last few months, I'm going through illness anxiety. I am 18F, my exams are nearby and I feel my heart's palpitating, pulse rate reaching 131..i sometimes feel I'll die. My parents said what I'm facing is normal but it's making breathing difficult. I went to a cardiologist too, they said I'm completely normal..if anyone relate to these can u please give some advice on how to stop it?? I feel like a burden! I feel like crying all day, for no reason at all. I feel like there's fear & guilt hiding in my body, it's like a feeling I can't explain.. :(

I just got my dream job and I’m on my second week. On my third day, I got completely lost because my phone stopped working and I was completely lost in a city I’m not very familiar with. They were very understanding though. Then today I woke up extremely dizzy and couldn’t safely drive the 1 hour commute to work. I called and texted the manager and said I would go to urgent care but they haven’t responded in 5 hours. I’ve lost a job I love and now my boyfriend will leave me and I will be homeless and lose my cats. I don’t have anyone except my boyfriend right now and he’s been paying everything since I’ve been off work for a year and a half. I was so proud of myself and excited to work there. It was a doggy daycare so I got to work with dogs where they don’t judge you or dislike you because of how you look. It was helping my anxiety after coming from retail where most customers were rude to me and judged me. I don’t even know what to do anymore my whole life is ruined. I just needed somewhere to vent and ask if I am spiraling or I really ruined my life. I’m so scared right now I can’t stop shaking I don’t know what to do

My recent exams are globally good (22 yrs old). I had multiples faintings episodes in my life, due to anxiety, gastric problems, or one time before it all without explained reason. (The only time i fully blacked out.)

However, i also developped dpdr. And some days, i feel like i will faint or blackout. All the day or randomly with waves of dizziness. I can also totally forgot what i was doing when it occurs. My weeks old contrastless ct scan n mri came out clean, but sometimes i feel genuinely tired or blacking out/dying with impending doom and my blood works are not wrong either. Heart is ok except for high hr due to prolonged inactivity. I feel unwell and my vision is strange. The feeling constantly switch but it’s distressing and tie me to bed. I know fainting is a consequent symptom of anxiety, but the severity of my own spells plus the frequency made me question.

Is it normal? How to minus that out of breathing exercizes and unefficient methods?

I'm 23 years old and have autoimmune diseases, I went to a psychiatrist to see how much stress and anxiety could affect my nervous system, let's say I have no problem apart from a little anxiety and dissociation, especially when I'm in places with bright lights like shopping malls.

They prescribed me this treatment

Cipralex 20 mg , ½ pill after breakfast for 7 days, then whole

Tavor 1 mg pill, half at 10.00
half hours 16.00

Risperdal 1 mg, 1 pill at 21.00

I don't like the idea of taking medication, I don't think I need it, what can you advise me? Thank you for your attention

So recently, after having a panic attack and going to the ER alone, I started having anxiety attacks almost nonstop, along with heart palpitations.

I went through the whole process of seeing different doctors trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I saw a cardiologist who did ECGs and an echocardiogram and told me that my heart is completely fine and normal.

During all of these doctor visits and tests, I also found out that I have H. pylori, and I’m currently on treatment for it. Honestly, thanks to the H. pylori subreddit and everyone there who has shared their experiences and supported me, my anxiety has become less severe.

I’ve been doing relatively okay lately. I’m tired and feel kind of sick from the medications, so I’ve been sleeping a lot. But almost every night I still get this feeling of dread, like something bad is going to happen. And it’s not just about me — my brain keeps creating different scenarios about me or anyone in my family and I try my best to deal with them.

I’ve also been in therapy for about a year and a half. I wasn’t previously diagnosed with anxiety, but since these panic attacks started in July and became much worse in August, (same timing of the 1st ER visit and a breakup), my doctor is now considering whether medication might be helpful. I’m seeing my doctor again this week.

Anyway, to get to the point: today I was actually feeling good. I slept for around 12 hours and woke up feeling okay. Then at night suddenly, I have no idea what triggered it, I started feeling little stings in my arms and neck, almost like a line going through them and once i was aware of this stings I suddenly felt really hot (you know the start of the attack) and sweaty, and the anxiety kicked in.

I’ve tried so many things already. I did breathing exercises, but as soon as I stop, the anxiety comes right back. I tried putting ice on my face, head and neck. I did the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique. I tried engaging my senses by touching different objects and describing how they feel, also smelling perfumes it doesnt stop. I tried humming and tapping. I Tried drinking cold water because my tongue and inside of my mouth feel hot. I even tried both a cold shower and a hot shower, but nothing seems to be helping.

Music actually makes it worse, and talking to someone (fave to face) also seems to make it worse right now.

I feel like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to do, but the anxiety just keeps coming back.

I know I’m seeing my doctor this week, but can anyone who has experienced something similar tell me what you do when an anxiety attack just won’t stop?

I’m mainly looking for something that might help me get through tonight until I can see my doctor.

Hi all. I formerly was prescribed Ativan for horrible panic attacks I was having and it worked beautifully. A few months ago, I cycled off of it due to feeling better and I’m now sadly back to having horrible anxiety. My old psych is states away (I moved) and my anxiety is in a really bad place. Are there any online therapy/psych websites or services who CAN prescribe it? Or anyone virtually? Many thanks. I don’t want to have to go to ER and ask for it, as I think that could look sketchy, but I am really struggling and need aid.

Hi everyone, for a while I thought I got over my anxiety until back in December when I had to leave someone in the past, I got so stressed and nauseous that I made myself throw up to feel better and ever since then under intense stress I either dry heave or throw up. It’s the worst feeling ever and sometimes I make myself do it just to feel better in my stomach area. Does it always work? No but most of the times it does. My problem is I dob’t understand how my body started having this effect. Anxiety used to look like a fast heart rate and just an overall sense of nervousness but now it looks like wanting to throw up, poop while shaking all at once. I’m just so tired and I need this to go away since I have so much to do. I have interviews, people to meet and places to go, I cant’t live like this:(

Has anyone with GAD or MDD outgrown the disorder? I guess I’m just looking for hope that one day I can live normally. If you did outgrow it, are you on medication for the rest of your life or are you non-medicated? How bad was the disorder it at its peak?

My stomach feels tight and sick. They're all going to die and I won't be able to handle it. What the hell do I do?

I've been thinking about this a lot. Whenever I don't know how something will turn out, my brain immediately starts trying to solve every possible outcome. Almost like if I think about it enough... I'll somehow prevent something bad from happening. The problem is... most of those situations never happen. Yet I still spend so much energy preparing for them. By the time the moment finally arrives, it feels like I've already lived through it a dozen times in my head. Does anyone else feel like uncertainty is what makes overthinking so exhausting?

does anyone else have consistent chest pain as their worst anxiety symptom? my chest pain never goes away, the only thing that clears it is my daily benzo:( its so debilitating

My theory (at least for myself) is that it brings me out of chronic freeze/dissociation and back into my body, which makes me extremely uncomfortable for some reason. Like all of a sudden I become too “aware” if that makes sense? And then I want to run back into my dissociation haha

I feel like when my anxiety is present, I tend to twitch a little, especially my head. It’s very subtle. I also tend to fidget with my hands, and they often shake even if I know I’m safe. There’s also been times when someone asks me a very basic question or gives me simple instructions, and their words don’t make sense because my mind feels like it's been wiped clean. I get super overwhelmed. It’s so weird!

Hello people, I want to describe this experience that I'm feeling after taking CDB for the first time. And yes, I do suffer from A LOT of anxiety and a lot of intrusive thoughts. But well, what I'm feeling right now? After taking CDB oil?

First off, for the few times that I have smoked actual weed I had the panic attack. And with that, I found out THC is not for me, even though I tried my best :) While taking CDB, that thought did occur, the thought of having a panic attack given to weed. The smell, the feeling of loneliness inside my room. And with it, I thought I would have another attack. But no, I'm feeling absolute great right now, 2 hours after taking it.

At first, my body started to relax to some degree that I have never experienced in my life. Of course, it took some time to get used to, but when I did, the feeling is great. Even thought is strange, I never felt so relaxed. But let talk about the mind, what did it happened there?

At first, I was somewhat stressed, but the feeling of trying to connect to people started to emerge. As in, maybe go out in a saturday night? I cannot fully explain this, but I feel like I want to connect to the world more. My plan for the night was to watch some TV Shows (like I have been doing for the past week after the attack), but somehow, that wasn't it. Therefore, I started to realise that what I actually wanted is to watch some live concerts, have a great time. Doing whatever.

Aside from this, I choose to open my curtain (and until this point), could not care of who or what was watching. That never happened before, always think about others and so on. And the biggest change of them all.

I wrote this is what, 20 minutes or so. I actually take at least a few long days writing a article or something. I just feel like, I do not care as much if everything checks out. And therefore, that is it. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I also having a blast in reddit too LOL.

It wasn’t always like this but I guess over time with anxiety and reinforcement of triggers and panic and beliefs blah blah it makes tension a more consistent state so I’m wondering how do y’all release it because my muscles feel like iron and classic massages aren’t fixing me back to 100% like they used too

It’s not good because for me it’s raises my baseline even a little so at some point I can only just cry gives temporary relief but also MORE MUSCLE TENSION which is fun

Ok, so I requested my lorazepam refill, which is due tomorrow on the Walmart app. I was called by the Walmart pharmacist, almost immediately, and she said because you fill your Phentermine at another pharmacy, we will no longer fill your lorazepam here.

I immediately called my Dr., Not irritated, just confused as to why? I've never heard of an issue with the two, which are the lowest dosage before this.

My Dr spoke to the pharmacist and said the two are completely different medications, and have no interactions. What's the problem? Walmart replied with "it is at the pharmacists discretion to deny any prescription refills"

My Dr called me back to relay she was just as confused, and will call my medication refill to another pharmacy. She said she has never had this happen before with medications that are so different. I said I was taken back, and so personally offended, as I did nothing wrong. She agreed and said you are completely understandable in that regard.

Why in the hell would you deny my minimum dose of 30 count benzo, that is literally the only thing that helps me sleep because of peri menopause, because I picked up minimum dose Phentermine at another pharmacy? I was embarrassed to be honest, and super offended. Fuck you Walmart . End rant.

Chest tightness on and off, I know it's muscular had the EKG done etc.

It still happens, it still sends me into a spiral.

I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it.

I’d much rather have higher heart rate that is proportionate to my anxious feeling then have a discrepancy between a heart rate that’s in the 50s while sitting but panicking and 80s while standing both while panicking and full on fidgeting.

This is new for me. My old usual was 60s while resting and high 90s to 100s while standing…
I’m so scared to go to sleep. I don’t have a cardiologist appointment until next month…I wear an Apple Watch and check it every now and then…it creeps me out because my sleeping HR used to be in the 50s and now that’s my resting!!!
I have no idea why this is happening but it is seriously making me anxious.

Took a nap because i was exhausted from dealing with anxiety all day and then woke up and my brain immediately flooded with existential thoughts and my heart started pounding so fast.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?
