@ipoopcats
That sounds like a difficult combination! How does it personally affect you?
@Remina
it has been really tough for me as it has started affecting my physical health too.
i remember once i had a really bad panic attack at night and the next morning i woke up i felt lightheaded and fell unconscious. luckily my parents were there to help me cuz i did hit my head pretty hard on the ground.
my dad thought i had a stroke or smtg lol and scolded me saying i should be taking care of my health more.
@ipoopcats
That sounds scary! I am sorry to hear that it has affected your physical health. I am glad your parents were there for you. It sounds like you have concerned parents so that's good! How often do you struggle with this?
@Remina
my panic attacks are still pretty common, except now i have learned to control my emotions a bit better
me fainting just happened once and hopefully it'll stay tht way cuz i never wanna feel like tht ever again
@ipoopcats
Yeah I can imagine not wanting to feel like that ever again. i am sorry that panic attacks are pretty frequent. What have you done to manage your emotions?
@Remina
journaling really helped me a lot. i also try to preoccupy myself with things i enjoy doing to help distract myself from being overly anxious
I’m glad to hear how much journaling has helped you! What things do you enjoy doing as a distraction? @IpoopCats
@Remina
watching youtube, studying. if none of these work then i'll just sleep
@ipoopcats
What are you studying?
@Remina
digital marketing. i jus found out tht 7 cups also offers a course for marketing and content development so i'll probably be taking tht aft finishing my current course :)
@ipoopcats
Oh that sounds fun. And good idea! I hope you enjoy the 7cups course
That sounds like such a scary experience, and I’m really sorry you had to go through that. Panic attacks can take a huge toll, not just emotionally but physically too. It must have been overwhelming to wake up feeling so lightheaded and then actually pass out. I can understand why your dad was so worried, even if his reaction came across as scolding. Sometimes, when people care about us, their concern can come out in unexpected ways.
Have you been able to talk to anyone about what you’re going through? You don’t have to go through this alone, and your health—both mental and physical—matters. If you ever need to vent or just have someone listen, I’m here for you.

thank you for your concern. unfortunately there's not really anyone i trust irl to speak about this. i have told my partner but he didn't take it as seriously as i wanted him to
