Does any one else have small panic attacks throughout the day? There are sudden moments where I feel overwhelmed and I can’t breathe so I force myself to go to the bathroom or to my car to calm down..

Screw the deadline. You need that appointment. You need to make you a priority, work can’t always come first. Also, I can sympathize. I’ve had the same thing happen to me.

Thank you everyone.. yes I’ll keep the appointment.. I’m relieved to see others are going/went through this too. I know it’s irrational but I feel so alone. This morning I couldn’t even choke down a cup of coffee because I feel so stressed. I’ll try headspace for now as I wait for next Friday to come.

I had this happen frequently, and seeing a psychiatrist and therapist plus starting both antidepressants and anti anxiety meds has helped significantly. Meds aren’t for everyone, but I gotta say they’ve really helped me.

like

Yes agreed w pwc1. You can’t be a good worker if you yourself are not good. You come first in this situation and I too can relate. I was told when that happens go have a cup of coffee and relax or go for a walk or even take a little nap. It seems to help!

I had the same issue and it got really bad and started happening outside of work. For me it was/is because I’m new to my group and felt I had a lot to live up to. The headspace app helped and trying to remember we are just human and nothing is really that big of a deal

..they’ve been getting worse and more frequent and I don’t know what to do.. I have a first time appointment with a therapist next Friday but it falls on a project deadline so I think I’ll have to cancel

All the time

Yes I have had that happened; I didn’t fully understand my situation so I thought it was just busy season stress and it’ll go away; well..it didn’t and my condition worsened as I started having panic attacks at work (it felt so sudden and without warning) ..I finally went to see a therapist (under the guise of “Dr. Appt” checkup) and now I feel so much better ...nowadays when I see my therapist I try to schedule my appt around noon (11:45 ish) so it appears I am just stepping out for lunch

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

What if we taught students (and ourselves) to humbly subordinate to an objective truth about the world?

What if we spent more time studying and conforming to that truth than reflecting on our feelings about it?

I believe we'd see a lot less anxiety and depression. Questions like "Who am I," "Why am I here," and "Where am I going" wouldn't be so crippling and terrifying. We could look beyond ourselves and marvel at the beauty of a universe greater than ourselves.

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down.

We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
