Aww, thank you. I'm actually not typically open about my stuff in person or to people I know offline. Sometimes I'll choose to be open with a complete stranger who I know I will never meet, but typically I'm not. I've gotten remarks because of my age or looks so it's partly that, but also I just...

It rarely to never seems to connect to what's going on. My panic attacks always seem to be random and my feelings of anxiety will also seem "for no reason" for the most part. I can only take guesses, but even so it feels like I'm desperately fishing for a reason. I've been diagnosed with Panic...

I've been spending the whole day worried to be outside and feeling unwell. It feels like how I am on my bad days.. except my typical symptoms I've gotten used to. Except for the ones that really make me believe I'm going insane or whatever.. The ones that make me think I'm suffocating or having...

Oh god.. if this is like a sign that my anxiety has gotten worse... I've never had an anxiety attack like that. I've felt chest pains, knots in my stomach, tremors, suffocation, inability to think, will think I'm dying, and sometimes I won't even feel panic. Though when I do, I feel like I'm...

Forgot to add that although the similar situation was when I came back form biking, I don't think it was as severe as the one I felt this morning. This morning definitely felt worse.

I just came back from the sleep study and it doesn't seem like I have sleep apnea. I'd be surprised if I did or if I have any sleep disorders. I noticed after I took the sleeping pill that was offered I became even more restless which typically happens when I take any sleeping pill. What I'm...

I will try that observation technique. I try that with my dissociative episodes and, although it hasn't helped yet, I'm hoping it will help soon or eventually.. I'm currently attempting to find a psychiatrist and get medication for my diagnoses and such, and I think it will help me a great...

This doesn't usually happen for me. Usually I'll get really anxious, at the most, a day and eventually have some panic attack lasting for some hours, I fall asleep, and it's either lesser or gone for a while. But for the past few days it's like the level of anxiety is constant. Maybe a little...

I try drawing. Sometimes if I try to sleep when I'm not sleepy enough I can overthink and have some sort of "attack" or "episode" leading to me being up for 4ish hours or more. So sometimes I push myself to the point of pure exhaustion that it feels like I'd fall asleep the second I'd lie down.

I was sleeping on my back when it happened. I also get sleep paralysis, but it happens more when I'm stressed so I don't think that's a sign of sleep apnea.. if it even would have been.

I have, but it just isn't my thing. I've tried it multiple times. I do have one I'm able to go back to after a long period of time, which is actually nice because I can see how my mental health and ideas change over time. I also have an active mind.. I'm constantly thinking and I can't stop...

Ever since Monday my friend, it feels, has put space and ignoring me. I think I know why, and I don't blame her. Maybe it's good, but it really hurts. She just all of a sudden stopped. We typically talk everyday, a good amount of the time, or at least have a little conversation once a day. Now...

Over the counter sleeping pills either don't work or cause an opposite reaction, so far. I get restless legs or body sensations and it's one of the worse things to be so exhausted, but your body is moving so you blank out and find yourself in random areas of the house... once in a while finding...

You know what's funny is that my doctor actually thinks I might have sleep apnea and I'll be going to a sleep study in a couple days.. I'm nervous for it too. Although I don't do it now, I used to be a really bad snorer, I'd wake myself up, and parents would wake me up to stop. I used to grind...

Thank you, both of you. It also caught me off guard, but I can see how he may have assumed I9 was just in for the meds or something. Tomorrow I will try to call another psychiatrist. If I use the insurance though, will the main provider see it?

Yes though I'm being wary about using their insurance. If I use their insurance will they know? Or, at least, for what reason? i'd prefer they wouldn't. I will call.

I am trying to get myself a psychiatrist so I can get medication because I know for a fact it will help me. I used to be terribly fearful of medications, but right now I feel ready to give psychotropic medication. I contacted a psychiatrist and informed him of my situation. I don't want other...

I think you're right. Before my friend was allowed in, I kept everything to myself. She had no idea about my health or mental illnesses and I'm really good at hiding it.. I don't remember well, but I think keeping it a secret from everyone kind of encouraged me to find a way and not sit on it as...

I tried telling her that I think I try to do another way of handling this by putting space and not relying on her, but she flat out refused that idea and got fairly upset. She's worried that I'll push people away and get worse than I already am, but I really want to try it. I don't want to upset...

Would it be a bad idea to bring up the possibility of the relationship being bad? I think that I may be the toxic friend out of the two of us.. She's well set up with supports and another close friend while also forming other good friends, while I'm not. I am the one that stresses her out with...

As far as I know: ADHD Major Depression General Anxiety and Panic Disorder Sleep Apnea had a past of trichotillomania with head hair, but no longer.

The codependency still sits in the back of my mind. I'm still unsure of it, but something tells me you're right. Especially since I initially brought it up first in one of my first posts here. No, but many think so because of how close we are. We are really, really close... I won't go into...

Lately I've been having dreams where I'll be in specific scenarios and something in the dream, whether it be someone reaching to touch my shoulder, someone offering a cup of coffee, or giving a weird look, etc., would make me feel like I couldn't breathe. It would skip the initial anxiety...

Forgot to add, with other people there are huge boundaries. So much so, many don't even know my real name. very simple things, but I set the boundaries clear. With my friend, trust and all that was built over the years and slowly I let down my walls with her along with the boundaries. We're...

You're probably right. I don't think I do and I guess that's a bad thing..? I mean, I trust her and she is both my best friend and my family really.. she's more than what I just type about on here. I know I only give the worst of it all on here, and I don't mean to, but she is more than what's...
