Chronic Illness

Moriover 8 years ago

Do you have a chronic illness? (If you're comfortable talking about it, that is).

Does it cause physical pain or any other complication? How do you cope?

Mild depression and that's about it

Probably some symptoms of autism and adhd but not enough to be diagnosed.

130 bpm so high i'd probably feel it knocking on my brain
poserover 8 years ago
130 is when I'm probably walking or talking fast or cleaning my room. It is really high afaik but I'm fairly sure it's anxiety related

70, used to be 60 during better times :[

I misread though I thought 130 was your resting bpm.
still kinda high for your age no?

It isn't fun I have to squat on the floor and hear the ocean in my ears and I'm dizzy and I go blind for ~5 seconds ALL BECAUSE I STOOD UP TOO FAST lmao god I have Raynaud's too but that's a circulation problem likely pertaining to the other stuff
Yeah, I have bad circulation too and it's linked to other conditions. Have you ever gotten on a plane? Cause it sounds like you'd have a bad time.

I have orthostatic tachycardia but I also got diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension so I have no idea what's what, but either way I have a really fast heart and low blood pressure and the only thing I can do to help is stand up slowly and take beta blockers.

I told the doctor I didn't want to quit epicmafia so the beta blockers weren't for me. Now I just take supplements
Lower blood pressure and faster heart rate sounds like a terrifying combination :(

also mindfulness meditation works surprisingly well for stuff like anxiety and i can't recommend it enough
Mindfulness/DBT/CCT were originally developed for BPD but they work surprisingly well for things like anxiety

Like I don't know about you guys but medication to make your heart slower sounds terrifying

Oh I have OCD but that's not a physical thing and it doesn't bother me

Illness: Anxiety (since high school)
Coping mechanism: Alcohol or other substances; exercise or meditation
I'm pretty sure alcohol only makes the problem worse? Exercise and meditation sound like good options though.
i've done extensive research into this and can basically list the best "fixes" from first to last. alcohol is the best as it acts on the brain receptors that cause anxiety. unfortunately this comes with side effects such as a loss of motor skills, poor judgment, ect.

exercise is great because its natural (not artificial such as a drug) and also effective, but i don't always have 30 mins to set aside

when im facing high anxiety events such as a business meeting, interview, or speech, i'll take a xanax + stimulant for complete relief of all forms of anxiety. it will last 2-3 hours. don't try this unless youre extremely disciplined with medication
