Abby said a while ago that Melissa pulled Maddie out of school and took her back to make it seem like she was there the entire time, and Mackenzie didn’t know she was pulled out early. Abby could be lying about Mackenzie not knowing, which is what I would hope to be the case bc Melissa keeping that from Mackenzie all those years is despicable and honestly I’m sure would give Kenzie trust issues ngl.

Hi all. Since I was a teenager when I take a nap which is rare I usually have sleep paralysis episodes. My version of it is I’ll fall asleep, be dreaming and it’s like my brain wakes up and the only way I can fully wake up is if I start shaking my body, and then I open my eyes and can move. I shake my body bc my body is frozen still. It never happens when I’m sleeping at night only when I take short naps. The last few months my sleep schedule has also been very poor, falling asleep anywhere from 3am-5am and sleeping 8-10 hours. I work evenings-nights in a restaurant so I don’t have school in morning (it’s summer) which is why I sleep so late. I also have had pretty bad anxiety/panic attacks on and off for the past few months after a very distressing event which is also when my sleep schedule got messed up.
Anyways today I took a nap bc I slept 4am-9:30am (woke up) and then went back to sleep around noon until 3:30pm. I woke up during this around 1:30 bc I had this crazy vivid dream where I felt like I was in control of the dream, it was extremely weird I don’t remember it well now but I think I got very anxious during the dream and then my brain woke up which caused me to start shaking my body so I can fully wake up and open my eyes/move. Like I said when I have sleep paralysis it’s like I wake up before my body does and can’t move so I just start shaking so I can move lol. Idk if that’s bad
Idk what this even is, sorry if this is confusing. I’ve noticed my anxiety has gotten bad again so I’ve been having intense dreams as well but I usually only have these super vivid dreams that I wake up stressed when I take short naps

hey all I have panic disorder and for 4 months have been struggling, it’s been getting better and today I decided to go to the gym. i was running daily before It got bad so I wanted to get back into it. I didn’t go on a run at gym but I went on treadmill for a half hour to start slow, going 3 mph. I got off the treadmill once I hit stop bc I forgot to do cooldown and instantly felt very disoriented and like the ground was jelly. It felt like I was walking super fast to my car and almost floating and it caused me to become very nervous and almost caused a panic attack. I’ve read this can be from your brain adjusting to not being on treadmill and not doing a cooldown is what usually causes it but idk I just got worried. Has this happened to anyone else? I also have vertigo so it could be a mix but yea I had to calm myself down in the car after for 10 min before I could drive home.

Im not sure if this is weird but when I think of a spicy chili lime food my mouth starts producing a lot of saliva and my right cheek tingles and I get this zap sensation. It’s only with spicy food too

I just found out that someone I saw two days ago passed away in the middle of the night this morning. I wasnt really close to them or knew them that long but they live with my grandma. Anyways I took a quick nap after work two hours ago, and in that dream it genuinely was so traumatic and vivid. First part I was in an apartment with two other girls and i think i cheated on my bf (something id never do or think of doing) and there was a bunch of strange men there trying to do a drug deal and then the cops came and we got arrested. One of the girls said dont worry they are just going to take us and then release us. I think i was high or something and felt very weird in the dream. I remember getting on this little plane, one of the girls got put on a different plane she was deported or something (it sounds so silly but i just did watch OITNB s7 so maybe thats why?) and then i was on the plane and still had my phone on me. I remember texting my bf in this part on the plane and told him what happened and checking my phone and finding out my sister died. Truly the most traumatizing thing to dream about so vividly. Only one of my siblings live near her, rest of us are a days trip away. Next part in dream we got off plane and were taken somewhere they were giving us breakfast. Then in the dream I felt I couldn’t breathe (I’m congested in real life but it felt like that in the dream 10x worse) and was trying to peel what felt like a mask off my eyeballs multiple times to go back and back in time. (Like when you reverse a YouTube video and it takes you 15 seconds back every time) and then I woke up. Waking up I was so confused and dissociated, felt heavy and anxious bc what tf just happened. It’s one of those dreams that feel so long and like you forgot you were sleeping and real. I do have preexisting anxiety and it’s gotten better after a few bad months but now I feel so shaken up. It’s such a sucky feeling.

I just found out a few hours ago a distant family member who I just saw yesterday passed away. My sibling called that the paramedics had to come and try to shock him because he was unresponsive. I was extremely shaky and anxious / upset hearing this, and then I went to my roommates room and cried while telling her. Then I called my sibling back for an update and she told me he passed away. I was still crying bc even tho I barely knew him it’s still sad to hear especially bc I just saw him for dinner yesterday and he seemed fine. (He was in 80s and had epilepsy.) Anyways after getting off the phone I told my roommate that he passed, and my roommate gave me a blank stare and I started laughing. Like full on laughing while apologizing idk man it’s so weird. I kind of feel horrible, I’ve had many times where I’ve laughed after crying with friends bc I’m vulnerable so I’m not sure if it was just that (I’m very sheltered with letting emotions like that out around ppl.) I was initially very upset and still am but the fact I laughed after telling someone that makes me feel bad. I literally don’t know why my brain does that

hi all. I’m f21, I used to smoke weed but stopped in February but I do vape. Beginning of April, I noticed I started to experience a lot of fatigue and head pressure everyday. I went thru a very stressful event in beginning of March and it made me very anxious and on edge but once that went away I felt normal again… then in April I started experiencing these symptoms. I would go to work which is part time evenings and then come home and sleep usually earliest 1am and latest 4am, sleeping until 12-4pm. I feel like such a bum, idk what’s wrong with me.. when I used to smoke weed I had more energy and still slept a lot but not that late and I wouldn’t still feel exhausted after and at work. On and off since then, some days/weeks would be better than others but I also have had bad anxiety since this event in March which I’m not sure if it’s depression or anxiety or a deficiency or something. However even when I have good weeks where I’m not anxious at all I’m still tired asf. I’ve just never had this level of tiredness in all my life, where even when I’m driving to work / at work I feel like I just wanna go home and sleep. That’s why I’m not sure if it’s just anxiety bc I’ve always suffered from anxiety and even tho it’s been worse the past months I just have my doubts. I literally don’t do anything else except work, occasionally go shopping, play video games and do clean or do laundry. I feel like an old lady at 21, I just have no energy.. I’m not sure if this could also be from stopping smoking weed as I was a daily smoker for a year and a half before I stopped.

I also noticed I have had headaches daily and had to take Advil. (It was bad in June and mid May where I would wake up with a headache that wouldn’t resolve until I took Advil or it would continue throughout the day.) I haven’t had to take them in weeks bc that part has been better but I’m just so tired all the time. I’m honestly nervous abt what it is bc I feel like it’s impacting my motivation, mood and everything im just tired all the time. I’ve never been diagnosed with depression either, so like I said I feel like I should get lab work done first.. sorry if this is a lot of rambling, I’m just sick of it

I just watched the after party episode and it made me really like Kalani! I was always indifferent with her bc I didn’t follow her and the only girls I kept up with after the show were the OG 7, last time I saw her being spoken about alot was her wedding which i thought was cruel (but I’m not going to get into that) and I know she had some views that have since changed which I am happy about but she seems very positive, supportive and has a very likable personality in a big sister way! She reminds me a lot of Brooke being She was one of the older girls from the show. She also seems very vibrant and full of life idk if this sounds weird I just enjoyed the interview more than I thought I would !! Just the way she carries herself is very likable and I know ppl hate on her saying she didn’t go anywhere (to make a dig at Kira bc Kira hated on Camryn always) but I feel like she’s very successful in her own right, she already said her dance studio is going well with setting up etc and she’s an advocate for mental health. It seems she’s healing her trauma on her own terms with her studio and has been able to find her passion for dance again with this studio. I wish her well with it!

Maddie and Kenzie went to Australia in I wanna say either 2017-2019 and met this girl there on their trip and they became super close friends (I think her name was Morgan or Sydney and I’m pretty sure she was a fan of the show or something idk.) I feel like anyone who was big in DM fandom at time can perhaps remember but I remember being so jealous as a 13 year old 🤣🤣 correct me if I’m wrong tho haha

I’m sure this has been spoken about a lot on here but I took my first dose around 4pm. (It’s now 3:30AM.) I was prescribed 50 but I took half bc I want to give myself time to get used to it bc my anxiety. Anyways I noticed two hours after I took it I started to get super tired. The rest of the night I still felt pretty tired (played video games for a few hours and drove to get food) but then once I got home I also started to feel a little out of body (like tired in a brain fog way) which made me a little nervous but luckily I distracted myself bc I know it’s either just anxiety or the medicine making me tired. Anyways I’m kinda nervous for the next few weeks bc I was on Zoloft last summer for a month while also heavily smoking weed and I don’t smoke anymore, and last time I was on it I had no side effects really, but my anxiety is super bad this time around going on it that I feel like I’m going to freak myself out. Does anyone have advice bc I’m just nervous about going into work and potentially being super anxious from side effects but I know it’s just time to get passed the initial few weeks of your brain adjusting.

In the dressing room at the competition when Christi and Kristie were kinda going at it, it drove me insane that it should’ve been Melissa who was going to have the most conflict with her. I can’t imagine how frustrating it had to be for the other moms to have to pick fights with people bc Melissa wouldn’t. It made no sense that Christi would’ve been the one going at Kristie because their daughters are years apart and in different age categories. I just feel like this was one example of Melissa not stepping up to the plate and doing her job.

has anyone else ever had small amounts of stress or something happen that causes your body to overreact physically (even if mentally you’re not even that worked up about it) and have a panic attack?

the last 3 months, I’ve had really intense anxiety and panic attacks on and off after a very stressful life event which was in March. I’ve had physical symptoms such as constant head pressure, dizziness, headaches and then when I get anxiety my chest feels tight and these physical symptoms I just mentioned also present itself along with impending doom. It’s like it goes from 0-100 very fast and even tho I’ve had OCD since I was very young this isn’t even mental usually, just physical symptoms which randomly occur causing a panic attack.

Today at work, I had to deal with a customer who was being pretty rude to me, I’ve worked in customer service for 5 years now and it honestly wasn’t even that crazy this interaction I’ve dealt with worse and crazier. but after I got off the phone I immediately felt this impending doom, air hunger and intense head pressure along with dissociation. I’m not sure why my body had this reaction, bc I wasn’t even that stressed about this interaction. However it’s like my body started freaking out causing me to have anxiety about it. I got very flustered and wanted to run off to the bathroom but I pushed through and feel almost completely better.

Im getting bloodwork done in a few days along with a head scan to check out any other things it could be, but I was just curious as to if this has happened to anyone else? I’m thinking my nervous system is just dysregulated or something, causing full blown panic attacks over something very small (or most of the time, nothing.)

So basically, I’ve struggled with anxiety and panic attacks for awhile now. I’ve been doing pretty good for a few weeks with minor anxiety (except I’ve been having on and off head pressure for a few months) which I thought was from anxiety but it’s still been present without the anxiety. I am getting bloodwork done next week tho to finally rule out anything else.

Anyways, today I had a coffee around noon, and then I got another latte at 4pm (still haven’t eaten) bc I usually don’t eat breakfast in general and I work late at night so usually won’t be hungry until around dinner time. However I usually only have one coffee so I think the second one did something to me. I went to Walmart after this, and was going to eat once I got home but towards the end of being at Walmart at the checkout, I had crazy symptoms that I was going to faint. When I arrived at Walmart I felt a little off, head pressure but it’s normalish to me but then I got this wave of impending doom and that I needed to eat something or I was going to pass out. I told the people I was with that I felt I was going to faint, started drinking cold ice water and we went into the subway in the Walmart and i ate half a sandwich and coke. At this point I was in full anxiety mode, shaking terribly all over my body, my eyes felt heavy and my chest felt tight from panicking. I also felt like numbness and tingling on parts of my body and my vision felt off. I experienced this in high school, when I would drink energy drinks in morning on empty stomach but this time it was very severe and idk if it’s because my anxiety’s gotten worse in general, but it was an awful feeling. Some of the symptoms I had also mimicked migraine aura symptoms bc I’ve also had those many times but have eaten at least two meals a day for the last couple years, but I’ve gotten into a bad habit of only eating one meal a day bc I drink coffee in morning which suppresses my appetite for hours. I honestly am still kinda shaky hours later, and had little head wooshes of hotness which I’m assuming is just bc the low blood sugar caused a panic attack which makes my body feel very tired and shaky after for up to a day. Sorry if this post doesn’t make sense, I’m just trying to see if the two can tie together. This definitely was a wake up call tho to eat better bc it was a scary feeling.

Hi all. The last few months I’ve been dealing with anxiety. (I’ve always had it but never had panic attacks and agoraphobia.) I also have ocd for years so it’s usually more mental and not physical symptoms like the same ones you have during a panic attack. It got better the past few weeks, but then today I was at Walmart around 7pm. I didn’t eat at that point I had 2 coffees throughout the day and was going to eat but then my roommate wanted to go to Walmart so I said I’d eat when I get back. Anyways we go to Walmart and as we are about to checkout I get this impending doom and lightheadness, the feeling I’m going to faint. I’ve had it happen in highschool where I didn’t eat and had a lot of caffeine and would feel lightheaded and shaky. But this was like 10x worse. Even after we got to Walmart I felt a little hungry and shaky but pulled it together but once we were about to leave and these new symptoms hit I felt like I was going to pass out. I was lightheaded, shaky asf, tunnel vision and had this feeling like I was going to faint bc I didn’t eat. I’ve had panic attacks but this one I knew was from my low blood sugar it was just different. We sat at the subway in the Walmart and I had half a sandwich, some coke and drank a lot of water. Once we stood back up I got a little jello sensations all over my legs and we went to car. Once I got home I took a hot shower after eating another sandwich (the one I planned to eat before we left) and drank more water and coke. I also sucked on candy for a few minutes for the sugar. After the shower I laid back down and got this head woosh and had this feeling of PANIC consume my body again mainly in my chest. I got super hot and ran to my roommate and said I wanted to go to the hospital bc I felt like I was gonna faint or die. Now, I feel a little better. I’m still kinda anxious and feel out of it but has anyone ever had low blood sugar cause this? A lot of the symptoms from it are same as panic attack symptoms but only difference is it felt way worse in a way like I was so weak. I’m also kinda having air hunger and maybe thought I was having an aura migraine at first bc I get weird vision and shaky / numbness during those too. I am getting bloodwork done bc I’ve had some weird head pressure on and off for a month or two which I thought was anxiety but also wanna rule out deficiencies. I just wanted to share this to see if others have had panic attacks from low blood sugar etc. it was definitely scary and I’m still experiencing the “hangover” as it’s only been 3 hours since. Just trying to relax myself

Hi all. I’ve been dealing with BBPV on and off for multiple years now, and I don’t really drink (especially the past few months, I’ve been struggling with anxiety) but before I went out to eat, I had a pretty full glass of Moscato (on an empty stomach. I know, terrible idea I just didn’t have an appetite) and an angry orchard this evening at dinner along with my sushi but once I got home even tho I was only a tad bit tipsy, I noticed it kind of felt like the floor was moving under me and I was a little dizzy. I’m assuming alcohol is a trigger for vertigo symptoms ? I’m feeling ok now, just some head pressure but I guess it’s a reminder drinking isn’t a good idea even if it’s one or two drinks .

Hi all. I just took a midol complete (one pill) bc I’m on my period and having vestibular migraine and after I took it now I’m getting hot flashes and my breathing feels shallow. This may sound silly but taking any medicine that has any type of drowsiness side effect (like allergy ones) make me panic bc it reminds me of when I had a bad high and I’m just feeling like I’m about to have a full blown panic attack. I’m very shaky and would just like someone to talk to

Whenever I’m on my period and sometimes on week I’m ovulating (I log symptoms on tracking app.) I get head pressure / brain fog. Also pretty tired. It started happening during my cycle a few months ago and I thought it was maybe from stress or anxiety which it could def be from but I also think now that it can be period related. I’m on day 3 (it came 5 days early also) and I was sick a few weeks ago so it prob brought it early but idk I just am having head pressure not a headache but it feels like in my temples there’s a band (it’s not super tight most of the time) but a slight pressure. I def should get labs done to see if it’s iron bc my moms had anemia but I was wondering if this is a common symptom from periods? I also notice my vertigo flares up on it too. It’s crazy how as you get older different symptoms can appear as I’ve had my period for almost 9 years now.

Hi all. today at work there was some drama involving my co workers. It didn’t directly involve me but one of my co workers went outside when I was hitting my vape and asked me a question about it. I started explaining what I know, bc at the end of the day I’m a little older than the rest of them and new to town and not friends with them, just co workers who talk at work. I don’t care for drama, it stresses me out (I haven’t been involved in drama since high school bc I don’t surround myself with negativity like that for my own peace) While I was talking, I noticed I started to get kinda stressed, bc this work drama is affecting a lot of ppl I work with which affects me cuz I’m constantly being the one people go to for advice bc I’m unbiased. When I went back inside and stood still at my area, I got this sudden head whoosh of head pressure and dizziness? It lasted only a few seconds, but after that I felt uneasy rest of my shift. I have panic disorder obviously and have had rough times where I feel those symptoms (very moderate and not a sudden head whoosh like that, more just a slight head pressure and dizziness when I’m anxious.) and I’ve been good lately with handling anxiety and getting past it. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m lowkey apprehensive going into work tomorrow bc I somehow always get involved in other people’s drama and I’m just trying to work and pay my bills you know. I just don’t want to start having severe anxiety again where I’m scared to go to work (in past I’ve experienced bad agoraphobia, not that I was ever scared to go to work other than that reason of not being in a safe space.) and idk what to do, just wanted to vent I guess and see if anyone’s experienced intense head pressure after there adrenaline was spiked.
