I read stories of people saying they’ve been full on struggling with bad anxiety their whole life and they don’t get better. I’m terrified of that happening for me.

I have PTSD and apparently my vagus nerve was stuck in freeze paralysis. I’m just starting to see a specialist to try help it get better.

I’ve been dealing with agoraphobia for 10 years since 20 years old. It got better from 23 to 25 where I was able to live life with way less anxiety and even go out for long walks by myself and get public transport, get in the car with friends.

But since I had psychosis again at 25 since I came out of it I’ve felt stuck for the past 5 years. I’m so so tired of dealing with the anxiety and I have to take lorazepam a few times a week to even cope going out with my safe person to get things done.

It’s day 27 of my cycle and I have been having some pink spotting today, and I checked my cervix and it was high, doesn’t the cervix normally be low if it’s a period?

I know I’ll have to wait till tomorrow and see if I start having my period but I was just curious if anyone else has had this and been pregnant.

I’m only 31 and this has been going on for 5 years now. As dry as a desert, and it’s really getting me down not to mention expensive the amount of organic lube I’m using.

Is there some kind of estrogen they can give that doesn’t badly affect fertility?

I’ve tried taking proper herbs before and no help, my herb lady said it might be because of the antipsychotics I’m on.

It’s for extreme circumstances not an everyday thing. Took 4mg to be able to get on a plane flight home with no panic.
Then once I’m home later in the day I was thinking maybe I could top up with 1mg before I go out to a social event

This would just before this one day, then going back to greatly reduced amounts

The TWW is hard for me, I have a week left to wait and see if my period comes. But I feel no different
.
My previous pregnancy that ended in early miscarriage had so many symptoms out of the ordinary for me like sore back, light stomach cramping some of the days, really heavy and sore boobs.

Please can as many people tell their stories.

I’m on holiday and I have 9 days left before I have to fly back.
I’m planning on having 1mg loraz per day then normal dose I took 3.5mg for flying home.

Would this make it stop working for me by the time I need to fly home? I’m worried

So if I want to enjoy my holiday I have to take 1mg of loraz everyday for 9 days.
But then for my flight back I’m taking 3mg, hoping the higher dose just for the flight still works.

When I’m back home reducing to just usual 3 times per week

I am taking 2.5mg and then 1mg to top up a while later.

My flight is in 2 days. I am feeling so much fear.

My therapist said of course no one knows what will happen and that I still need to do breathing and distraction which of course I’ll do.

But it got me worried about does she think I will panic over the top of my meds 😓

I feel beyond nervous my flight is only a couple days away, I have been on many flights in the past before I developed agoraphobia.

But this will be the first time since then going on a plane 😬

I am taking a high enough dose of lorazepam before the airport I am hoping it completely stops panic.

My flight is only days away and I am so so scared of my pills not working.

I normally take it a couple times a week for things so I know what it feels like for other situations but not flying.

I have to fly in 6 days for the first time since having panic disorder and I will be taking 3.5mg loraz total in the time beforehand.

I take lorazepam a couple times per week and it’s really helped me be calm with other situations. But I’ve never tested it on a plane ✈️

Please can you describe how you felt during the flight and at the airport.

My 3 hour flight is less than a week away and I feel sick just thinking about it.

In my life I have been on many flights and even enjoyed them, but that was before I had panic attacks in my life. Just hoping lorazepam makes me feel ‘normal’ again.

I need some hope 🥲 getting closer and closer till I have to leave on a 3 hour plane ride.

I’ll be taking lorazepam of course to hopefully give me a normal plane ride 🤞🏻hope it works, never used it for flying before
