hi! as the title says, i have some online classes to do but i'm currently procrastinating because i am not motivated hahahaha. we can talk about literally anything you want :D
hi! i am on day 8 of lexapro at 5mg. on day 2 i drank coffee and was so jittery and anxious/nauseous. how do you guys do drinking decaf coffee? i am really craving the taste of an iced macchiatoooooo :(
i have had this phobia since i was 7 years old when my sister projectile vomited in the car and i couldn't get out. this summer, i have a trip planned where i will be in the car for multiple hours every day, 10 hours the first day, and i won't be able to be the one driving. i was very anxious on the car ride home yesterday from a restaurant which was only an hour and 15 minutes. i am fearing i won't be able to do this trip. i used to be fine on long car trips, but lately, my fear has just been getting the best of me and i think about vomit/sickness CONSTANTLY. if i cancel going on my trip, am i just giving into the fear, or sparing myself of a huge exposure too soon?
i am on day 4 of 2.5 mg of lexapro. i've had pretty bad nausea which sucks because i have emetophobia (no throwing up though, thankfully) in 3 days i am supposed to bump up to 5, which worries me because i am already kind of struggling at 2.5 mg. has anyone had this experience before? what did you do?
I feel so embarrassed and frustrated with myself lately and I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
Over the past several months my anxiety has gotten so much worse, especially in public places or places that are farther from home. Even simple things that used to be normal for me feel overwhelming now. I used to actually enjoy going places and doing things, but now I get anxious before I even leave.
When it happens, it feels really physical. I get nauseous, sweaty, tunnel vision, stomach pain, and this intense feeling that I NEED to leave immediately. It’s like my body suddenly decides I’m trapped or unsafe even when logically I know I’m fine.
The other day I went to TJ Maxx with my mom and there weren’t even that many people there, but I got so anxious that I ended up sitting in the car because my stomach hurt so bad. Another time I was supposed to go to dinner with my girlfriend’s dad and I literally had to stop my car before leaving my subdivision because I felt like I physically could not make myself go.
I feel stupid because this is so unlike me. I used to be excited to go places and now even small outings make me nervous. I feel like I’m letting people down or becoming unreliable.
Has anyone else experienced anxiety getting this bad seemingly out of nowhere? Did anything help you get your life back?
