Hmm...I had bad asthma as kid. I wonder if my panic attacks are triggered by things I associate with my past asthma symptoms?

YES!!! They probably do!! Alot of times we don't know what triggers our panic attacks, but many times it's deep seeded. I know me in particular, I witnessed a family friend die of an asthma attack at our house when I was 9. He was an older gentlemen(probably in his early 50's) so that lowkey triggers some panic in me. I've had chronic asthma my whole life. I goes away for a couple years, than comes back.

I just had another panic attack, but this time at work. But it was a "controlled" panic attack if that makes sense. Boss let me off an hour early. I hope this doesn't mean my panic attacks are resurging. I gotta nip this in the bud, or this could give me employment issues. Luckily I'm way more Psychologically prepared for these than I was in 2013.....The dark days. But still, it sucks having these.

Panic attacks and anxiety are a result of a B vitamin deficiency. The fastest way to fix this issue is by eating liver (has all the B vitamins), and supplementing separately with thiamin, niacin, and b6.

Magnesium will also help since it works as a muscle relaxant.

Life throws u a curve ball....
U think u got it all figured out ...

But shyt was false security net...

Lets just say my thinking & ideologies is totally different from a month ago..


I more comfortable & humble knowing i'm not the only breh out here going thru something ...

I feel you, I was in the same boat. Keeping pushing through.

The greatest thing about psychotherapy it will remove all your blind spots, and when I say all I do mean all. But it is a slow process, but it pays off.

I was fortunate enough to study this stuff, so I used all the techniques on myself. Ask any other psychology breh in this thread and they will tell you.



@m0rninggl0ry

Holla at me if anyone wants to talk. I'm a psychology student a couple classes away from my Bachelor's which aint really shyt but i took a psycotherapy class and I know plenty of diff therapeutical shyt.

Too real.

Some Practical Thoughts on Suicide

If think about killing yourself, imagine yourself wearing a suicide bomber’s vest of explosives and walking into a crowd of innocents.

That’s effectively what it is. Even if you “feel” like no one loves you or cares about you, you are most likely loved–and most definitely lovable and worthy of love.

This resonated with me. I've never been suicidal but I've fell into deep depression before.

Seriously those that are suicidal are clinically depressed remember this. Hell, read the article.

Liver

Liver

It has an acquired taste for sure. My dad and I are the only ones in the family who like it; but hey, it works.

Chicken liver is by far the most palpable kind, especially for those who never liked it growing up. It smells and tastes nothing like calf/beef liver.

Read my post on the last page with the video about anxiety and panic attacks caused by lactic acidosis. It's a very easy fix. Watch the video.

I noticed some of my black folks flunked out of the STEM programs at my college because of being overwhelmed leading to them become stuck. I'm considering working on an abstract to send to admissions departments to encourage them to include mental health counseling to anyone who has to be put on academic probation. And produce educational materials and posters to increase awareness.

My professors joked the stress and pressure they put us through is to make us capable to handle the real world. I think this approach is only necessary for surgeons and airplane pilots.

The past 5 years they have really been controlling and monitoring the amount of work professors are giving to students.

this is true. My depression started a few years back when i was attempting to finish my bs in biology degree in my 7th year of college. the upper division courses i just couldnt pass and i felt like i was stuck and went into a deep depression. my life went off the rails for a year or two but after a breakup that further tore me down, i discovered the science of philosophy and spirituality it dug me out a dark place where i wasnt even eating. basically living on weed and beer.

Anxiety/panic attacks are caused by lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis (low oxygen/high lactic acid) within the body is due to a deficiency in the B vitamins. When the liver is deficient in B vitamins, it's unable to complete the proper cycle of converting lactic acid out of the blood, in turn causing nervous system and adrenal gland malfunction.

Does anyone have any experience with agoraphobia/anxiety (not the "attacks", just like general and social anxiety)?
