This is my last sem
Trying to make it through and get my degree
I mean I'm not a doctor but I have lots of experience with anxiety copes
Melatonin is extremely mild
I've used melatonin, cbd oil, benadryl
For public coping
I also used to wear a medical alert bracelet that said panic disorder so people wouldn't call a fucking ambulance if I just so happened to have a full blown panic attack in public. Thank God I haven't yet. Only one at the wheel and one at my old job. Since then only at home.
Cos I get the hyperventilating, whole body trembling, can't talk or move, etc.
I trust your experience
I've been reading more lately (the past few years) about how it's a response that ties into our limbic system (lizard brain). Very interesting.
I get that too
Right now my hands and feet feel weird and sweaty
I used benadryl a good bit when I was on a campus
And I’m a little dizzy
Phenibut helped me with anxiety
Phenibut?
What’s that?
Yeah I take Benadryl at home sometimes
Can you find a quiet place to be alone and center yourself?
I might try that
Not in the middle of class, no
Well yeah not now lol
For me the worst part is the driving
Yeah I usually end up in a restroom stall for that @Der Jäger lol
Scares me bad
Heard that
Being in class sucks but driving is hell
Yeah driving is something I still haven't totally conquered. I do it, but it ain't easy.
I literally started on Xanax so I could drive like a normal person
yup, I rememebr locking ymself in the bathroom
Same
Now I’m off drugs and rebound anxiety is ruling over my life
But the Xanax got out of control
also had sublingual Ativan at the time
Yeah fuck drugs
Yeah Xanax is no way to live
Ativan either
No way to live
Agreed
yeah it sucked
