Does anybody else get these? I have a real problem if my room's a mess, i get a little out of hand and throw things.. and then cry and proceed to clean it up
the reason im always chill is because i have loss of emotion caused by my schizophrenia..it sorta sucks too
I get them quite a bit, although they aren't as severe as they used to be. My main problem is the social anxiety part. I like to isolate myself away from people a little too frequently sometimes. And I get flustered when I am on my way out the door, everything racing in my mind as I walk back in 3 times to get things I forgot. Usually if I get an out in out panic attack, it comes from a culmination of stress and feelings of despair for shortcomings despite my efforts. Benzodiazapines such as valium, klonopin, zanax and larazepam are the only pills that quell my anxiety, as they target the anxiety itself. SSRI's and those other weird, expensive pills only made me get suicidal thoughts. Over the years, I've learned to do without the meds, by maintaining a lot of the healthy elements I need on a daily basis, such as exercise, good food, good friends, doing things I want to do for myself, etc. The more I take care of myself in different ways, the more fulfilled I feel, which, in turn, gives me peace of mind and more stability. Smoking herb is also a major help, but the best solution was to figure out what I needed to change in my life to keep it from coming.
I think if i switched rooms with my brother it might help.. (the kids in this family used to constantly switch rooms). Mine is the biggest bedrooms except for my parents, and I have to rearrange the furniture every week or so or else it really gets to me. I think if I had a smaller bedroom, number one his is painted white with deep blue carpet, and it has really amazing architecture, big windows looking out into the backyard (a crappy backyard, but it's outside, nonetheless) and high ceilings. I could keep track of things much easier and be more creative with the decorating. Also, I think there's too much blue in my room with can be depressing me, some blue is calming but if you have too much it's depressing... I dont know.. i'll talk to my therapist about it
sounds like you've got the right idea as to how to go about making things better for yourself. I looked at everything I did and compared it to everything I thought I needed that I wasn't getting... And stuff like avoiding other people's drama, I stopped procrastinating so much which helped too because I spent a lot less time worrying about what I needed to do once I started doing more of it.
recently i had a huge anxiety attack, it was pretty bad... i havent since then though, but i get really anxious about stupid things but it hasnt turned into actual attacks since that one time
i get them. but it's not from my room. its from people. and its random. my mind will all of a sudden turn things completely around (usually i can tell i'm doing this, but i can't stop it). and i either sit and wait it out or i go for a walk. walking helps a lot. especially barefooting.
i usually get them when i'm overloaded with unwanted emotions and stress and then when i have them i get heart palpatations which suck ass
