I finally got insurance again for the first time in a long while and have started seeing a therapist and psychiatrist again. Y'all might want to say a prayer for them because I'm a right mess of anxiety and panic disorders.

Hope you get better soon bro , you got this stay strong 💪🏻

Thanks. They want me to start taking buspar every day and hydroxyzine as needed for panic attacks, plus talk therapy of course.

I had bad experiences with SSRIs in the past, so the doctor didn't want to run the risk of another negative incident.

I wish everyone on icon lived close so we could meet up
I am the exact opposite, I want as much SPACE between me and people like @arvfab @PropellerEar and @John Elden Ring as possible.

Well, buspirone didn't do shit for me except make my baseline anxiety higher and increase my nocturnal panic attacks. Doctor trying to switch me to plain old Prozac even though I have repeatedly told her that I had horrible experiences with SSRIs in the past.

Bleh. Feeling like I might have to look for another doctor that hopefully listens. I hate that this country has vilified benzodiazepines. Ativan 1mg as needed was a godsend and I barely used them. 60 tablets lasted a year or more. But if I even bring that up, I get treated like a drug addict.

I am on seratin 40 mg as well as a concussion of other drugs; it relaxes me a lot, saying that I do have hallucinations that affect me, especially while sleeping.

I remembered waking up one night and with it, I could view myself from above; I had a giant centipede wrapped around my body, trying to eat me.

I have seen people without heads run at me, as well as dozens of hands reaching up from beneath the bed in trying to pull me under it; sometimes I wonder if this shit is worth it, lol.

Why can't I just have dreams with Ana Armas in it?

You should write a horror novel, make use of these nightmares.

Or you cannot wait for the new Diablo 4 Centipede skills, and they are entering your dreams in anticipation?
