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...

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?

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...

Or whatever time of day you wake up :) I am curious, because I keep hearing this "routines are so important" stuff. Also maybe looking for inspiration because mine is: -oatmeal -black coffee -??

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...

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...
