The dizzy/lightheaded feeling I get from being anxious, which I am 24/7, makes me even more anxious. I think I am developing a fear of it, it scares the shit out of me I also have emetophobia which probably plays a role, but the dizziness is making me actually insane. I am so afraid of passing out or being perpetually dizzy for the rest of my life. How the f do you break this cycle 😭
It’s so ugly and I was so used to the old interface. I want it back!!!!
Is anyone else’s phobia more related to dizziness/vertigo than it is tummy issues? I’m pretty good at being able to tell when a stomach ache is from gas, or acid reflux, etc. What triggers me the most is feeling dizzy or motion sick or vertigo (I don’t even have vertigo). Where as some people are constantly body checking in their stomach I feel like I am constantly body checking my head and eyes. The constant anxiety causes me to feel dizzy too. A super fun cycle 🥲
Had a panic attack this morning at work, it’s happened before but this was a bad one. It’s passed but now I feel so low. Depressed, embarrassed, still kind of anxious and just this yucky impending doom feeling. I have plans tonight and I want to cancel soooo bad but I don’t want to let this ruin the day. How do you get out of a funk after a bad panic attack?
Lately I’ve been getting really triggered by smells; food smells, certain colognes/perfumes, smoke, etc. The smell makes me feel nauseous and then I Panic thinking the smell will make me throw up. It’s irrational, I know, but I can’t stop it from freaking me out. Does anyone have tips on how to desensitize yourself to smell? I use alcohol wipes but sometimes I feel like I’m trapped with the smell and can’t avoid it. I know this sounds insane.
I’m planning a 30th birthday for a friend who’s a big smoker and I’m trying to come up with a punny weed related 30th birthday theme. I’m not big into weed myself so I’m coming up blank. Google searches have only provided really cheesy shit. Anyone have any clever suggestions?
I’ve been on lexapro for several years now but have found it to be less effective lately. My doctor wants to switch me to Zoloft on a slow cross tapering schedule, but I am borderline traumatized from how horrible it was adjusting to taking lexapro for the first time. Is the cross tapering process easier side effect wise than starting an SSRI for the first time?
This isn’t entirely emetophobia related, but it is triggering my emetophobia. Lately I’ve been experiencing random bouts of dizziness and vertigo. It’s also worth noting that I’ve been really anxious lately for non emet-related reasons. I don’t know if the anxiety is causing the dizziness or what, but it’s making me even more anxious and I’m terrified that I’ll get so nauseous that I throw up. Does anyone have experience with vertigo and how to treat it?
