not anymore. my meds plus working out helped with that a lot.
also you don't wanna mess with xanax unless its really extreme and debilitating panic. xanax is highly addictive.

I have ativan which is like the same as xanax and i pop 1mg when i really need it. It helps but can be addictive. Its like if you go anywhere without them you feel fukked because you might need it real bad

Watching
I have one maybe once or twice a year. My body tries to freeze up when a big loud truck is behind me.

yup and that thought alone will start a panic


when i had xanax my doc told me to carry them around wherever i go, cuz just their presence and know you could take em if u need too helps


i think the basic thing is, people need to learn how to relax themselves

I dunno brehs, every time im at work I feel like I'm going to pass out or ish, I'll step out the building and I'm fine.

work related..been there done that several years ago(mine was school related). you may need to take a short leave... possibly figure out if maybe you need to be working in a different environment?

Most anxiety is in ur mind.

I never had them until I got to my first post-college job, and immediatly I was presenting to COOs, CFO's, etc., during my training. If they dont like you, then you dont get hired.

Lots of pressure.

So its really just in ur mind. As a kid I used to love speaking in front of crowds of people, but as u get older, you get more conscious of urself.

You gotta try to trick ur self out of it.

I noticed chewing gum and controlling breathing works but its still not 100%. I also agree on what u said above about leaving the area and getting on ur own if u start to feel the symptoms that helps alot.

I have 5 ativans left and im gonna try stretch them out. Ive been taking a couple a week and im getting better so it will be possible.

yeah mayne deep breathing and mindfulness has helped me. just knowing you're really just putting all that anxiety on yourself for no real reason.

are ativans a benzo? if so i'd say switch off those and get on an anti depression/anxiety. they're alot less addicting

Yes ativan is a benzo its like xanaxs brother. I dont wanna get on pills for life taking one every night like u have to with ssri's so i only take it when i start to get really bad.

dont go too hard on the drank cuz you may not remember anything the next day. you'll have no clue. but a nice mix of the two and drinkin on the lighter side is :noah:
