So I'm going to a therapist tomorrow

oh...you're just adding to the therapy needed. he might bill you.
 
how do you know when you're having a panic attack?

Panic attacks have the same symptoms as a heart attack: Heart palpatations, chest pain, sweating, shaking, nausea, choking sensation/lump in throat, dizziness. Other symptoms are derealism (that is a dreamy), feeling of losing control/going crazy, and depersonalization (feeling outside yourself or that you don't exist).

That being said, PA is not an illness it's a behavioral condition that displays illness symptoms. They're just inappropriate anxious nerve responses your brain produces or over-produce in this case.

It can be really scary for a patient. Especially if it's their first PA, they think they're having a heart attack or that their heart's going to stop or dying (ALL of which are untrue), and this in turn makes the "symptoms" worse.

Well, good luck Superhobo...I'm sure you'll do fine at the therapist. It's nothing to be ashamed of, just look at it as an opportunity to find help, come to terms with your affliction and, most importantly, look at this as a growth experience. Good luck! :yay:

All he needs to do is watch every variation of the "Chacarron!" video and he'll be cured, anyway. No therapist required.

I tend to be a little on the eccentric side.

I've had multiple nervous breakdowns because of my unnatural fear of open spaces (I was in a warehouse and almost had a heart attack twice) and I've passed out at the sight of a hummingbird.

You think you're weird? You ain't got nothing on me.

I wonder if the Hype will come up in their sessions. :(
 
Just like most everything else Therapy started out as a good idea. Now for the most part it is just there to make sure you an obedient dog.

i'm a paranoid schizo, but you win :word:
 
just remember, there are two kinds of answers...crazy answers, and normal answers...you want to give as many of the 2nd type as possible...that way he'll just be all like "yo, dis dude is normal! like, the most normal cat I ever treated! he be goin' free, and gettin some motha f**kin b**ches too! bring in da b**ches!"


btw, in my mind, your therapist is a 1970's pimp.

There are no normal answers when talking to a therapist, even the most normal answers require extra analyzation and more sessions and drugs, otherwise how will the therapist make his money.
 
been there, done that :mad:

I absolutely hate those people... sitting there and think they know what my life is like and how they can fix it when they've never experienced it...
 
i'll tell it to you straight, man. don't go see a female. they've never been where you've been in life so they can't tell you anything useful.

unless you're a girl, then it's cool.
 
Yup. Mother dear's send me to a therapist tomorrow. Why? Well, I expounded upon it a bit in the religion thread, but here's as good a place as any.
While it had nothing to do with the topic of religion directly, I began to think a lot about free-will, about the problems connected with infinity, and reality in general (i.e., what if all of this is a hallucination of mine? What if the real worlds something completely different, and I've been in a coma being fed through a tube my whole life, that sorta thing). I had a panic attack.
This happens a lot in my family. We're smart, the lot of us, and we think too much about things, and get too deep and entrenched in them. We can't stop thinking about something once we've thought about it. Call it OCD, or whatever. But the same thing happened to my brother when he was younger. He became obsessed with the idea of gravity, and how we're always surrounded by it and could never escape it. He had a panic attack.

Sigh.


:csad:
Actually I started asking myself this at one point last year, but Im pretty sure that it was because I spent that summer on a ridiculous cannabis binge, but its not that weird to think this way believe me, it is easy to get over...
 
my girlfriend's best friend has been in therapy for a couple of years and she still doesnt display any mental growth or have the right grasp on reality.
 
ive always wanted to go to one, but i think im well off on my own... now let me go clean my gun...

Mine was very nice, and didn't seem cocky or pushy at all- helped me work some things out. Therapists are people, some are awesome and some suck.

Also, panic attacks are torturous. :down
 
They apre just anotehr part of life, like VDs mosquitos or ducks
