    • Close Personality Disorders

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking helps because my ideas aren't just my own. I get opinions from an outside source that is unattached to the situation. Unfortunately, the unattachement sometimes comes off as though the person isn't interested in what I have to say. But, talking relieves some kind of bottled up beast.
      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Cleaning has helped newly dried sheets are nice. Writing helps. I do have to say that concentrating on breathing doesnt work for me. The more I concentrate on my breathing the more out of breath I feel. So I dont do that one too often. Sometimes it helps if Im trying to slow my heart rate down. But I try to pep talk myself through it.

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Music Working / Worked
    • Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

      Every once in awhile, I get the shakes. My muscles tighten, and I shake uncontrollably all over. I drink a fast sugar and I'm kinda ok. Anywho, I am guessing it's hypoglycemia cause the shaking subsides, responding to the sugar. I don't have health insurance, so I haven't seen a dr. Got an accucheck machine and will check it in emergencies.

    • Open Panic Attacks

      Have panick attacks

      Treatments

      Meditation Not Working
      It seems that when I concentrate on my breathing, like meditation calls for, I become more paranoid that I'm not breathing right. So, I try to just watch movies and forget about my breathing or heartbeat.
      Patience Working / Worked
      I try not to be so scared of the fast heartbeat or the difficulty breathing. I just try to let go and let my body do what it has to do, and wait for it to pass. I tell myself that I am completely safe and nothing is wrong, it's all just my imagination.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I try not to be so scared of the fast heartbeat or the difficulty breathing. I just try to let go and let my body do what it has to do, and wait for it to pass. I tell myself that I am completely safe and nothing is wrong, it's all just my imagination.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      My therapist gives me ideas, books, and helps me organize my thoughts. She kind of reassures that my ideas and thoughts are valid and which ones to stick with.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Only took xanax twice. I've decided to avoid these antianxiety meds because you build up a tolerance and you can become dependent on them.
