smh @ taking pills though

that shyt cannot be good

if i feel im going to have other shyt like that im going to just get my bruce banner on and try to contain it
If you got some serious post-traumatic stress it can be necessary tho to just be able to function in real life :yeshrug:

but you're gonna have to eventually deal with the problem/pain and work through it.

I had panic attacks BAD when I was young because I had a bad experience due to my Asthma where I thought I was gonna die. It fukked me up for a few years but I worked through it.

Starts in the mind, Ive been there breh. That PTSD is no fukking joke. Me personally I didnt take any pills or zannies. But I dont look at nobody any less for taking em.



This life shyt is no joke, its crazy its like sometimes life is our own worst enemy n shyt. You just gotta thug it out tho. Most people go thru these phases its just that before this internet anonymity shyt, it wasnt something you really tell ya boys or fam.

I had a rough time with this not too long ago. I used to smoke weed everyday and then I started getting these attacks from it towards the end. When I stopped smoking I started getting them without even smoking just on a regular day, shyts literally hell, one of the worst things you could go through.

I did a ton of research on the subject and tried to make some changes to my lifestyle. As of now I am over the issue and sometimes may get a bit of anxiety, but I have learned how to not let it get to a full blown panic attack just by sitting down relaxing and staying still taking deep breathes. There are some natural supplements out there that people take such as fish oils, passion flower or L-theaninie that may help. At one point I was given the lowest dose of Xanax and it works very well, I took a few but I felt very weak taking them, I didn't wanna have to use a pill for something that I created, but the feeling of having them with you will also just give you some relief.

Best advice I could give is to be mentally tough and stable and not to fear them, in some ways embracing it can help you most.

Here's a site I found helpful during these times http://www.anxietynomore.co.uk/

No lie sometimes I gotta eat lunch in my car because I feel like I'm going to pop

Give yourself a lot of positive self talk during the day, my dude. If you don't big yourself up, who will?

Get on some St. John wort and do some meditation. Your mind is prolly overactive. Do what you can to calm it down.

Since this only happens at work, your job probably doesn't agree with you. Unfortunately, we all gotta get that check, so You gotta manage it. Make sure you have a creative outlet

had one at the gym around a year ago:to:


one was enough to mess me up...had to get on paxil and I hate taking pills..glad to say I'm off the pills and haven't had one since...but yea if you're taking any medicine for panic attacks its best to avoid alcohol..one or two beers feels like 6-8 beers...avoid alcohol for at least a month after youre done with the pills too

A few Floors Down from the Daily Grind
The first time I had one.....I was 30, married, new baby, stress at the job, trying to buy a house, etc.

Was sitting in the car, waiting for the wife to get out of the grocery store, kids in the back crying. I start feeling this, like, tingling in the center of my chest.

So I start going "oh shyt, wtf is that weird feeling in my chest???"

Wife comes out, gets in, I start driving, trying not to think about it.

Get a mile up the road, she looks at me, asks whats wrong.

I try to tell her that my chest has this funny feeling in it, and as I'm saying it to her, I felt like I couldn't get the words out right.

Next thing I know, my heart starts fukking RACING a mile a minute, like it was going to pound out of my chest.

Pupils dilated, I couldn't breathe and I just freaked out, thought I was going to die.

Wife yells at me to pull over, I jump out of the drivers side trying to catch my breathe, my arms start going numb.

Get me to the Hospital, their running EKG's, taking blood, etc.

Panic attack, and the reasons my arms were going numb is because I was hyper ventilating, lol.

Now, when I get that feeling, I take a few slow, deep breaths and try to laugh at myself, talk about how crazy I am inside my own head.

I was told that trying to deny it is the worst thing to do. The best way to stop yourself from having a full on one is to realize the symptoms as they start coming on, take a deep breath and hold it, and as you let it out slow, let yourself know that you know what it is, and that your OK to feel it, but its not a big deal, don't worry.

That seems to help me stop them.

I been on all kinds of shyt at max doses. Because of my age docs dont want to give me the shyt that actually works because they think ill abuse it. A doc once perscribed me half an mg of klonopin a day. If i took about 4 of them during an attack it helped. He wouldnt go any higher then half mg so I just deal with it with nothing now.

Right now im getting drunk because I have a dentist appointment tomorrow after work. Just the thought of it is making me nervous. Ill be sweating in the waiting room.

I take Remeron and Wellbutrin at the moment for depression but it's good for a slew of other issues as well. With that said; you can't pill yourself to death. If you only find happiness in a capsule your doc may as well prescribe you alcohol or crack.
