    I usually have social anxiety, but lately I have been afraid to be in public because I think everyone is secretly ridiculing me for being ugly to them, or plotting to attack me in some way because they can sense my vulnerability I work with the general public, and it's getting very...

    Welcome Back Nightmares

    I have to stop taking Prazosin, and I am kind of devastated. It's exacerbating the symptoms of my heart condition, but dang am I going to miss being able to sleep at night. Has anyone got experience with coming off Prazosin? Or any tips on coping with nightmares without the medication?

    Trapped in a realm of surreality

    Now that sounds super melodramatic. I recently felt a very strange shift in my brain. Dissociation is nothing new to me, it seems to be a constant, but I have usually just experienced it as being "spaced out" and getting lost easily. However, over the past couple weeks, it's gone into...

    Never feel safe enough to sleep

    Even though I know I'm alone, I know my door is closed and locked, and nobody can crawl in through the window, I am too afraid to sleep still almost every night.

It was beautiful, and I think the conversations...

    Today I had a.. dispute with someone. Really, the last person I really consider a friend. They really broke my trust, and it made me very uncomfortable. Aka, creating a fake profile online pretending to be someone with all the same interests as me in my area.. When I told him what was happening...

    Flinch twitch shivers

    Does anyone else get the involuntary flinches/twitches/shivers? It's definitely worse if someone is about to touch me or seems angry, but I get them sometimes just talking with people. Almost like I'm trying too hard too fight off intrusive thoughts that the person might hurt me or have bad...

    Panicking myself into a sleep state?

    Lately, my anxiety has been hiding under the surface pretty well.I don't really know it's there until I feel forced to lay down and sleep, but as soon as I do, I become paralyzed with panic. It is very uncomfortable, and sometimes I am able to sleep, but other times I just succumb to the panic...
