In just fed up with the doctors and everything I been on Klonopin for 5 yrs what will happen if I miss a dose? I assume I'm gonna have a panic attack?

The pharmacist I asked advice to, told me magnesium bisglycinate was enough and didn't provide me with any B6 vitamins when I asked. She said it's used to fix the magnesium but was not needed when using the bisglycinate one.

Is that valid?

Is anyone taking Oxazepam? I found that if I take it for three days, it won‘t work at the fourth day, and its effect seems to be tapper off during I’m taking it.

I have been struggling with depression and anxiety since I was a child, I started my bachelors degree in 2022 - I will likely finish in two semesters. I will be 25 when I finish my degree which is making me upset. Age is just a number and I know being in your mid-twenties I will still be young. Most of the people I study with are one or two years (or even more) older than me. Yet the pressure is taking me apart, I am losing sleep often pondering how easier my life would be if at least 40 % of my mental health influenced symptoms were non-existent. Is 25/26 very old to start your master? I cannot seem to calm myself down. I have big expectations of myself and wanted to graduate with a masters and have finished a novel by the time I am 28. Which only leaves me 5 and a half years. Is this doable?

I accepted my situation, my circumstances. Anxiety was no longer an issue. Since these past few days I have severe anxiety at night ie when I am trying to sleep. Nothing during the day. So confusing.

When I am feeling anxious or having anxiety attack, I feel muscle fatigue,muscle soreness and breathless even while doing simple things like walking. Stiffness in back and shoulders,muscle cramps, sometimes wobbly legs.

But when I am not anxious and normal, I can even run 2 kms, Do a cycling for 30 km non stop, is it normal? In anxiety people?

I'm considering the prospect of resuming my medication to reduce fear and negativity. But I fear that the lack of fear will enable me to do stupid things, without regard to consequences. Some level of fear is necessary. Too much fear is not though. I can't decide whether to take my medicine or not. It could make me too fearless. How could this be approached?

I had a small health scare earlier this week that was really only a health scare to me because I went to the ER and was perfectly fine but sense then every little feeling in my body is something terrible and I start freaking out assuming the worst. Small chest pain? Heart attack, and all the sudden I am feeling chest pains left and right. Feeling lightheaded? Brain tumor, and I meet all the symptoms suddenly. Not sure if I will get past this considering this was not a problem for me a little over a week ago but I just keep thinking i'm dyeing if I feel anything. Wondering if anyone else can relate to this. Im trying to get better at telling myself im healthy and not in mortal danger because I have a headache but this is all new feelings for me.

So, my decision is final. I am feeling very sad and low. I don't care about anyone or what people will say me for leaving my parents. I tried everything in the book for trying to convince them. It did not work. I can't break my lovers heart. She is a kind soul and very kind hearted. Loves me alot. I wi never leave her. So I decided to leave my parents and move out. I am only sad about seperation from my mother and cats. I am only sad about my mother. Guys, how to deal with this sadness and keep my ground. How to stay strong in this situation 😭

On Friday, I'll be flying up to another city to move into my first apartment. I'll be starting a military prep school. I'm excited, I'm from such a small town, and going to live in a big city is a huge thing. But I'm so anxious too, which I know is normal. I'm 20F, and quite scrawny and look very young for my age. I don't know, I have so many anxious thoughts floating around. My friend said I'd probably be 'easy to kidnap' and while I did find it quite funny, it kind of freaked me out. It's such an unlikely situation, but man, not good for my anxiety lol. I have no friends or family there. I know I'll make friends, I'll have to. I dunno, so many worries, such little time. Kind of had to get this out of my brain.

I have been having this feeling of pressure when breathing its hard to explain, near the top of my chest but lungs are clear and I can take full breaths. Its just like a slight pressure near the top of my chest feeling like its making it harder to breathe. Only notice it when im thinking about breathing and I litterly had a chest X-ray days ago and it was clear so idk what this feeling is wondering if anyone else has this?

i have severe generalized anxiety, but my biggest fear is someone throwing up around me. however, that happened today and i had a small anxiety/panic attack except my mind was empty. usually i feel like the world is absolutely ending mentally, but this time i had every physical reaction, crying, shortness of breath, shaking, but emotionally i felt fine. like no mental thoughts. is this normal? why does this happen?

My FIL who lives a different country is sick and my husband is flying to visit them soon. With the recent news about flights, I’m absolutely terrified I’ll lose him. I don’t have much more to say about this, I just can’t seem to stop thinking I’ll lose the father of my child and the love of my life.

I know statistically flying is the safest mode of transportation. I just can’t get my head to stop spinning. Thanks for reading my rant.

I went to the urgent care because of some chest tightness I assumed it was anxiety but they sent me to the ER and I’m all here alone and freaking out I can’t stop crying and I have nobody that can come stay with me

As far as I know I’m perfectly healthy and have gotten the all clear from multiple doctors, but I get horrible anxiety symptoms right before I go to sleep every night. I’ve tried beta blockers, melatonin, changing my routine, the whole nine yards. It’s gotten slightly better but it’s still really difficult for me to fall asleep before midnight. I’m so exhausted all the time but my brain is so afraid of sleep that I procrastinate going to bed. Does anybody know how to make this easier?

List of meds I’ve taken

Zoloft Citalopram Duloxetine 30mg Escitalopram 20mg Bupropion 150mg Venlafaxine er Fluoxetine 20mg Adderall 20 mg ir

so i started microgestin 1/20 about a week ago and everything was fine and i would sleep but ive been sleeping late because i have a 2 month old but these past couple of days i cant sleep without having anxiety and my heart feel like it’s racing because im thinking about it too much and scared if ill have to deal with this forever, and not being able to sleep when i cant sucks especially with a newborn. so i stopped my birth control a day ago but im still currently having anxiety, did you have this as well and when did it go away? please help and ps melatonin does not work no matter how many i take.

hes 19 and just told me about his anxiety, bad thoughts(as in hurting himself) and how he gets panic attacks which are caused by our family:(

i dont know how to deal with it. im scared ill make him uncomfortable i tried asking him but he doesnt even know

should i tell him to go to a doctor? what should i avoid when me and him talk about this topic? im the only person he told

(sorry if this is stupid im his younger sister and im just worried i have no experience with this)

Wondering because most medications give me anxiety, ativan acts in a way that doesnt make me panic. I find i cant tolerate medications that cause you to feel effects on your legs like gabapentin it made me panic. I have hydroxyzine but scared to take it because last time it gavd me anxiety.

3 years ago in my late twenties, I did something horrible. The worst mistake I have ever made in my life. It could’ve been much much worse but thankfully, it didn’t go that far.

I lost close friends, teammates, and the respect of people I admired greatly and I’ll never get that back. This mistake has haunted me every single day for the past 3 years. I am so so so sorry I did this and wish I could go back in time and change things.

Currently, I live in paralyzing fear that someone that knows what I did will decide to expose me and completely ruin my life as I know it. I currently have a thriving business and I’m fairly known in the community. If this gets exposed more than it already has, I’ll be done. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t breathe. The fear is palpable.

Every time I step outside and see someone I know, all I can think of is “He knows doesn’t he? He probably thinks I’m a horrible human being”.

I feel hopeless. I’m not even sure what I intend to gain from making this post but I just had to share.

3 years ago I was a drunk. A childish drunk high on life with a completely broken moral compass. Today, I am alcohol free, more secure in my faith, and just an overall better man than I was. I am terrified that there’s no redemption for me. I’m terrified that the man I am today and the man I will continue to be will never erase the piece of filth I was 3 years ago. Im terrified someone will get sick of the world not knowing my secrets and decide to expose me, essentially ruining my life and future.

How on earth do I cope with this ridiculously heavy burden?

I’ve been to the ER twice for my heart palpitations. One in November the other last week. They always find nothing. Primary doctor said otherwise. Said she sees something on ECG so being referred to a cardiologist. Still waiting for referral to make an appointment. But since apparently ER doctors see nothing wth do I do till then?

I have them so bad when they hit they hit hard that I’ll feel them no matter what I’m doing. Can be distracted having fun doing stuff and then BANG feel them. They last for HOURS. Almost come everyday. So what….i just go through my day feeling them and ignore till they finally make me drop to my knees gripping my chest covered in sweat? What if I’m home alone? Which has been often these days.

Guess that’s what I’ll do till I see a cardiologist. Anyone else relate?

Lately I have no idea what's wrong with me. I'm so confused regarding my own motivations. I want to get my life together so bad, to develop a routine and stick with it, but I also feel so stuck in functional freeze I'm paralyzed. I want to tell someone that I need help, but I also feel like I just need to help myself. I also don't even know how to ask for help. I feel like if I ask for help, I won't be as much of an "adult." Last night I had a dream where someone literally told me "No one cares how you feel now that you're an adult." I feel like everyone in my life just wants me to get me shit together but I feel so stuck. I both know what I need to do, but I feel like I just can't. I just want to curl up in bed and never leave. I feel so stuffed full of repressed and bottled up emotions, they're all swirling inside of me and ready to explode. I just want someone to tell me what to do and force me to do it. I feel like I can't rely on myself to be an adult. I feel so incredibly stuck and overwhelmed with life but I'm the only one holding me back. I'm overstimulated and on edge most of the time. I don't know how to express myself at all or talk to people like a normal person

Is this normal? When I need to see the dermatologist for skin problem I feel like nervous for idk what reason.

Also when I see the doctor for maybe runny nose or cough or sore throat I get sick in the stomach.

Or maybe seeing someone new like a new class or maybe ordering food.

Anyone know why?

i feel like many people don’t understand how anxiety works, even my own mom acts like i’m the cause of my anxiety and i can be “cured” by fixing my mindset. i’m scared to leave the house, talk to people, buy things, take public transport and it’s ruining my life. i’m starting a new school in two days and i’ve never felt so anxious and horrible in my life, i’m actually considering ending it rn so i don’t have to deal with it

How do you manage your anxiety/overthinking without medication? I overthink so much and it leads to anxiety and I lose sleep over it. Most of it is about my car (Chevy Cruze owners know what’s up) but I know that I’m selling it this fall. I just want to stop overthinking and take control over my mind, without medication.

Just noticed it a few nights ago but I eat throughout the day as much as I can dealing with anxiety flare ups and I’m still hungry at the end of the night. Is it just my anxiety because I don’t know.

This post will mention death and anxiety around that topic, so if that is triggering to anyone please skip this.

I’m not sure when it began, but for roughly the last 5 years of my life I obsessively worry about losing my loved ones. It has escalated to the point now where I can’t sleep anymore. When I have good moments with people I love, those feelings of happiness are immediately followed by a horrible dread. As if I’m in the future, looking back on these good moments when they’re gone.

During these thought cycles, I get even more anxious on top of it all because I’m worried I’m manifesting this reality for myself. “What if I already did?” It’s a nonstop whirlpool. Even making this post scares me.

I feel completely robbed of my happiness on a daily basis, im struggling to stay present. I lie awake every night with my heart racing on the verge of tears. I feel tormented constantly. That’s where I’m at now, making this post.

I know I need therapy, unfortunately I do live in America, and I do not have any insurance. I just need help, any advice is welcome. Im in desperate need of some comforting words.

a piece of xanax got stuck in my throat and isn’t really going am i going to be alright ???

I'm pretty hairy for a woman and recently have been feeling very anxious about not shaving my legs and thighs/bikini line. It is a huge time sink, it takes me around 1-1.5 hrs to shave everything. I sometimes wear shorts to yoga with my hairy legs, but am so anxious thinking other women find me disgusting that I try not to talk to anyone there. I also get self conscious doing stretches like having my feet together with knees out.

I also never go swimming, even though I used to be a swimmer. I feel as though men will think that im either a lesbian or some kind of hipster and that I'll never be intimate with anyone or have a boyfriend. I'm honestly thinking maybe I should just get laser hair removal? When I was a teenager I was often lazy with shaving and joined a new swim team in California where all the girls started gossiping about my leg hair and no one was friends with me, so now I just automatically assume people will label think of me as disgusting if I have hairy legs

im losing my mind im believing things that aren’t real, im feeling symptoms that aren’t real. I went to the hospital about stomach pain. They did lots of test nothing was wrong and I felt better for a few days. I start focusing on new symptoms 1 week later back at the hospital nothing is wrong. And im feeling these things and they’re so real. These past 3 months I’ve convinced myself that im dying of something. Im trying real hard to stop this but i cant. This type of thing happened to me in 2021 too when I was 16 I went to the hospital twice in 2 weeks cause of my headaches I convinced myself it was something serious, I did a ct scan and nothing was wrong. Why is my anxiety this severe why am I feeling real symptoms. I’ve been sober for 3 months and in these 3 months I’ve this is what it’s been like. I can’t stop thinking about death. Im having nightmares. These symptoms feel real.
