hi. girl with major anxiety and ptsd issues. i am not a melodramatic attention hog, i manage myself as well as i can and i am not one of those people who hams it up. i sometimes have a serious episode and stop being able to breathe or think clearly, my chest and head will hurt, sometimes i throw up. i pooped my pants one time. it's really bad. i'm kind of doing better and going out more, but obviously i have never dated. i'm really alone and i don't wanna be.if i even manage to get a date... how do i handle this? how big of an issue is this, will this filter people? when do i bring it up? how do i bring it up? if i have a boyfriend is he supposed to help me calm down or is that expecting too much and i should just let him do whatever and cope on my own? would this be embarassing for him, like, dating a headcase? would he want me to keep it a secret?
Try crack
>>35006796Be honest that you're not 100% put together. Those who don't mind/can handle it will appreciate your candor, those who can't will know not to waste either of your time. Don't become an alcoholic, but one beer might help.
>>35006796Get meds for panic disorder. I got on Klonopin 15 years ago and haven't had a panic attack in 14. I even stopped taking it about 10 years ago but tbe attacks never came back.
>>35006796>>35006987I didn't see the PTSD part, that complicates things a bit. Have you tried any PTSD specific treatments? EMDR?
>>35006796Just be up front. If you were attractive and had a cool personality I know I could handle calming you down because I have experience with calming people panic attacks. But be careful who you tell because some people will be cruel
>>35006796>i even manage to get a date... how do i handle this? how big of an issue is this, will this filter peopleBe upfront with it and I guarantee most interested men will think it's endearing. We like feeling helpful and protective so a woman having issue and coming to us for comfort feels great.Those who can't handle it aren't a good fit anyways, so yeah just be upfront about it
>>35006796You would be better off telling about it early on. Otherwise your wierd behaviors are likely to be misinterpreted as lack of interest.
>>35006796I have major anxiety too so you can date me and I'll understand and accept you without judgment
>>35006796cis girl or trans girl?
>>35008734Trans, obviously
>>35006829does that mean like seriously fully telling them all about my condition? or idk, like, how do i even imply it or mention it in passing without making them ask questions? also i think one beer is too much, one beer and i'll need to like, lie down or go to the bathroom or something, i cant hold booze at all>>35007348endearing?? how could it be endearing? it's like a baby needing a diaper changed. sure i love babies and i'll always change the diaper, but i also always wish i didn't have to?? its miserable!
>>35009559>how could it be endearing?I mean unless you are literally shitting yourself it's probably not as bad as you think. You wouldn't get it but men just have that instinct.
