So i have been thinking for a few days about my getting my thyroid checked, i have gad and I am on zoloft and i also have Papillon-lefevre (look it up because it is very very rare) I am 26 years old man that have never had my thyroid checked, what does it feel like when things are not right? Do you think i am overthinking all of this? Do you think i should get checked?
I'm on day 3 of taking my 12.5mg and tomorrow I will move to taking 25mg but last night I had a few waves of panic but they passed in a few minutes and oddly enough the thoughts couldn't hold on in my mind and after about an hour I felt pretty okay but I woke up today and took my medicine and everything but man the anxiety is really not doing good today.
I've been working my work to becoming a LPN to a RN and may keep going but anyways I know i want to work in the healthcare field and my question was how many of yall are in that field of work? Does this medicine really help? I just started yesterday but sometimes more then not i end up getting into my head and asking myself how in the world am I going to be able to help others if I can't even help myself.
I just took my first one today, I got 25mg but for the first 3 days I will only be taking a half, i am still so nervous about it and I've had anxiety my whole life and I don't know what to do now and I don't know how this will make me feel or anything and this is far from my normal and it's going to take me so long to get use to this new normal for me and that in itself is giving me anxiety and I just want it to go away and i would just like to be calm.
Hi I am new here and wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in joining a very close small group of friends or best case because one of us, (we are pc gamers) we are a small group of only 3 of us all together with here and there and there so sometimes it'll be 4 and once in a blue moon we will have some other people that we know join for just a little bit. We 3 have known each other for 10 years as of this year so we are very close but also outgoing but it may take a bit to get use to you but please don't take it the wrong way it's just we are so use to each other and never really had anyone else here. We play a alot of different games but we do have games we play more then others but we still play alot of stuff so if anything is interested just let me know.
I talked to my dr today and took him everything going on and that I wanted to try and get off the medicine and hopefully get off anxiety medicine completely so wish me luck guys.
So me and my wife are looking to get a new dock for our red eared slider because he is getting so big that the one we have if he gos to one side it will dip in the water. He is in a 40 gallon tank
With the world always seeming like it's about to end i though it'd be a good idea to bring some hope to at least 1 single person.
I'll start, back in 2021 my dad passed away and in2022 I had gotten covid which was really really bad for me even tho I didn't go to the hospital (I really really should have but my wife told me that she asked if I wanted to go and and I said no which I don't remember at all because I don't remember the whole week) but at the end of it i had a really bad panic attack and went to the ER and had 3 more, the whole year i had them almost daily and if it wasn't that it was chirping anxiety that made me not even be able to walk outside without a panic attack, I couldn't eat and dropped about 20 lbs, I couldn't do anything at all and I was a body at some points because I couldn't even talk. Then at the end of 2022 I started taking some medicine and I finally use able to think again and talk and eat, it took awhile for me to start to be able to do everything again and because for probably 6 or so months I was only do 75% of the things I normally would but in June of 2023 me and my friend both went and got our GED, after that we immediately went into college and started welding, it also started seeing a therapist at that time and it was probably the best thing i could have done, I made new friends and I was always doing something and it was getting me out of my house and i was just enjoying my life and ever since then I have stayed in college and I am working to become a RN and one day I hope if I ever encounter someone come in because a panic attack I can help them through it or if anything be a person that they can talk to and not feel so alone like I did that one day. I am currently thinking about talking to my Dr about helping me get off of the medicine completely.
So here is my story.
My first ever experience with a panic attack was when I was 13 years old and it was the worst thing ever at the time. Thought I was about to die all the time and couldn't eat anything and all kinds of stuff, also didn't have internet till I was 15. I had smaller attacks at night around 3-4am and I would just end up crying in my room alone because I didn't want to wake anything up (mostly my dad because I figured he would just tell me to dry it up and go back to bed) sometime around 17 they stopped and after some time I just didn't even think about them anymore and that was some of the funniest years of my life, I went out with friends all the time and went anywhere and everywhere without a care in the world, then comes 2019 when everything started to change. Most of the year was great and nothing out of the ordinary and I was just enjoying life, I was always a big church goer and around December of that year we was going to go on a 3 day trip and I went and everything was great and about a week after I got back me and some of my friends were at the park like always and a friend of a friend came with some weed, it always wanted to try it just to see what it was like and have some fun. BOY WAS I WRONG. I took just ONE hit and not even 30 seconds later I was full on panic attack, after that I have anxiety off and on but it wasn't the worst and then comes 2021-2022. My dad passed away at the beginning of 2021 and it was a big hit and nobody seen it coming and then me and my family moved and it seemed "okay" for a little while but then in February of 2022 I got covid and had another panic attack and ended up in the ER and had 3 more there and nobody was with me because of covid. Had anxiety and panic attacks the whole year and in December of that year my mom gave me some lorazapam that she takes. (She gets 60 because her Dr wants her to take 2 a day but she only takes one) that helped me sooo much and I ended up taking one a day aswell, so here is the problem, it's 2026 and I'm still taking one a day but it's not mine and my Dr doesn't want to give it to me and I am about to start LNP school. I want to be a nurse but now that I have been taking this medicine that is NOT mine i wouldn't be able to pass the drug test. I really don't know what to do. I feel like I could maybe get off of the medicine and be okay because life in general is better then what is was but I am worried that if I stopped taking the medicine my anxiety would come back and my dreams of being a nurse would be over.
