Is there no option to delete my post? I want it deleted This forum is awful, so much for asking about people experiences, and so what if I’m asking strangers on the internet? Then what is the point of this forum? And what’s with the aggression?

Why are you upset? why are you so upset? I'm still on my first "as-needed" prescription of this stuff to try to take the edge off my hypervigilance. Before taking it for going out into the wild, so to speak, I tried it at home while keeping track of my pulse via a pulse oximeter my household...

I have chest pain/tightness (all day everyday) that's anxiety related for many years, I read online people's positive experiences, I'd like to try what having no chest pain feels like. I went to a cardiologist today (to ask him about this drug), he ordered a bunch of tests, I told him about...

I don’t have a project planned, but i like the idea of studying something I’m interested in. I actually have a silly dream of going back to school. God I hope I survive this new chapter of my life 🙏🏻

Yes you’re right, I can get another job if I end up wanting to work again 😊 Yes I’ve been thinking about it for many months and going back and forth whether it’s a good idea or not.

Thank you for the heads up, in addition to my job, my plate is already full with familial responsibilities, and I find myself not having time for myself… yes I will have more free time, and honestly I don’t know what that will bring on, hence my anxiety and fear of the unknown future. I’m mostly...

So you're saying that it is normal to be afraid. The positives of retirement (for me) outweigh the negatives, so whenever I get anxious about it I read the positives. Still I feel panic creeping up on me, and I'm afraid that I'll have a panic attack about it. How do I overcome this fear? That...

What a coincidence! I'm also 41 and retiring soon.. and I'm terrified. Like you said it's clearly for the better, I hope I overcome the fear and finally get to enjoy my life.

After months of overthinking and much hesitancy, I’ve gathered up the courage and decided it’s for my best to retire early. I told my boss yesterday, she said she’s sad to hear it but she can’t stop me and wished me the best, I was happy that the process is going smoothly, but it’ll take 2-3...

Thanks Rose White for explaining. I'm sorry @Friday I totally misunderstood what you were saying.

There was nothing helpful to take. What's ISIS and the 2 blokes got to do with my subject?

DAE = Does Anybody Else 1. Why are you saying this to me? 2. If you can't be helpful, why reply at all? Your response is not helpful, not funny, or are you being sarcastic and making fun of my predicament? What you wrote is disturbing. Aren't there rules not to attack or demean vulnerable...

Whenever there’s a social gathering, or just friends/family visiting, I can’t make myself look pretty or at least presentable. I want to look nice, but I can’t do it for myself. I need someone else to do it for me. I wish I had that.. thinking about it makes me feel safe and loved, and then sad...

Thank you Rose White! Very well said how you’ve explained my side of it.

In two occasions: 1- If I sense that a person whether it’s a friend or not, is not opening or responding to my texts for more than a day, I’ll conclude that they don’t want me, and is ignoring me on purpose. 2- Example: when me and my friend AGREE on having video call in the morning (distant...

The subject causes me anxiety 😊 I’ll just let it be and focus on other things.

Yes I agree she crossed the line, but it made me think, and here I am writing about it! I agree, I do have the sensory issues, not 100% sure about trauma. Thanks Weemie for the validation :) Sweet and innocent like you. This is encouraging. I see myself eventually having a relationship, just...

Hi everyone, First of all, I'm 39. I've never been in a romantic relationship. I only had female friends (platonic). I talk with men casually, not intending to have a relationship. Lately a friend asked me why I've never been with a guy, "are you a lesbian?" I was taken aback by her question, I...

Yes, I was anorexic in 2015, I reached a low weight 40 kilos, then I got into intermittent fasting.. I remember that missed up my cycles. But I didn't expect that it'd lead me to losing my period. I also had chronic stress in 2020 and 2021, that year I lost it for ever. I am eating normally now...

That’s the way I did it, in my teen years I had pain where I couldn’t walk I didn’t know why and I never reached out to anyone.

Thank you OliveJewel. I did my research on google, causes of “primary ovarian insufficiency” are unknown. I guess I’ll never know like everything else in my life.

Hello lovely people, I’m 39, I lost my period at 37, it’s been two years I haven’t menstruated.. I haven’t seen a doctor about it, but sadly I feel it’s early menaupase because I had hot flashes at 37 and still do. When I have a hot flash I feel heart palpitations it’s very uncomfortable -.- I...

Thank you OliveJewel ☺️ I think you're right. Then my title should've been "In desperate need to escape my reality and teleport to another time/space!" I understand perhaps it would it'd be helpful seeing a therapist, but I'm not too thrilled about it, given my past experiences with them.

Hello again 😊 Can I get more responses and thoughts on this please? Like, why do I have this inclination to long for the past and look backwards, it’s not very productive.. it hinders me going forward.

I would love to experience a feeling of being contained in a family, for one day, that’s what it means for me to be a kid.
