Woke up at 3 AM. Very anxious, racing heart, feeling like I'm going to die. Took a 5mg diazapam and using calm app. Heart is between 80 and 90 but it's pounding. Doing pmr, deep breathing, no luck. Also, can't stop shaking on and off. Anyone chat for some reassurance? submitted by /u/Zealousideal_Cut9198 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This is a bit of a long story but it's the singular event that spawned my entire issues with anxiety and panic disorder. If anyone, and I mean anyone, can give me some rest with this I would really appreciate it. It's eating away at me. Around 3 years ago I (19m) went downstairs to make some food. Reheated some old chili and ate it. Right after eating I felt just completely tired. Just went from wide awake to feeling like I was on the verge of passing out after a 3 day all nighter. This was odd so I went to go lay on the couch for a bit, not thinking too too much of it. Then as I lay down I f ..read more

Like I feel slightly uncomfortable and then I notice the weird adrenaline feeling and feel my heart rate then it goes down hill . I’m under a lot of stress at the moment … but, sometimes when these moments happen , I’m literally just chilling. Like I don’t understand submitted by /u/LinMB [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Lately I've been encountering ideas that aren't mine. I feel like my head is making up the worst ideas of reality. Whatever I do, it's hard to resist and not believe it's not true. I don't want to think that. He even invents suicidal thoughts and imagines that my existence is completely useless. I try to resist there for a long time, until it usually ends in a huge panic attack. Or sometimes I'm smarter and take medicine before the outbreak. when I silence these thoughts, a huge internal aggression often appears later, which is unfortunately caught by someone close to me. Am I the only one, o ..read more

I have always struggled w anxiety, OCD and depression my whole life. It’s always been apart of my life but I can manage (somewhat) ok. Last month, I took an edible for the first time (100mg) and I feel like I’ve been in a state of panic / paranoia since. I’ve been to the er three times since. Last Saturday, I had my first real panic attack and not off a edible. I have had many anxiety attacks but this was different. I started off with not feeling real, then heart racing, numbness and tingling etc. I thought I was having a heart attack / stroke. It came in waves that night and I went to the ER ..read more

https://www.reddit.com/r/dpdr/s/PMZd7b1zne Panic attacks and derealization and/or depersonalization go hand in hand. I suffered from it twice and recovered twice. I wrote a guide a year ago with my own tips and tricks, and also with things I learned from my psychologists and doctors. I don't want to gatekeep and one think I know for a fact is that if there used to be a person at the time I've had it, that recovered and shared their story, that I would've recovered much quicker. The internet is full of negativity which only poisoned the mind and makes it feel endless, when in reality DPDR is n ..read more

I (26F) used to suffer from a panic and anxiety disorder back in 2019 and since then I've always been prone to anxiety and stress. I had maybe around 50 heavy panic attacks where I believed I would die or something was wrong with me at the peak, but I recovered for the most part. I think it was ever since then that I sometimes used to have these moments where I was just laying down or doing something and then suddenly I could feel my heart race, it seemed hard to breathe and I could feel a slight pressing sensation on my chest. My heartrate would normally also peak up to a 100 bpm or even mor ..read more

I’m trying to figure out if I’m actually sick and this is just weird timing, or dealing with some crazy anxiety and stress. I started having panic attacks again last Monday. I ended up having a few bad ones in public and have been stuck in my room for a week in fear of driving, going anywhere in public, and even exercising. I spent a few days in the ER and all vitals turned out good. Since I’ve been home I’ve been very “sick.” Like nauseous, dizzy, no appetite, getting up to walk is very labored and I feel like I’m floating, head pressure, and tingling. It’s now been 3 days of feeling this wa ..read more
