Is this normal? Fear of open spaces, heights, and agoraphobia. Ever since I had a horrible 3 hour panic attack from weed and phenibut withdrawal, I've not been the same. I used to drive across the country and fly in planes just fine, and now it's hard to get out of the house. I get such an overstimulated feeling being on the road that it's almost as if my eyes will lose focus and I'll lose control of my body. My breathing also becomes manual and my perception of reality is dysphoric. It's not the person I used to be. Other stuff bothers me too, like thinking about space and how large the Earth is. Sometimes I just get a sudden rush of doom feeling like I'll spin out out and faint or something. I really hate having this and wish I could just go back to before all this was a problem. I also get the falling or the spinning sensation but for me it's kinda like a rush of tingles or something and it's very scary when it happens. It has genuinely taken my life from me. I don't know if this is a medical thing like hormones or my deviated septum or something else. Maybe it's all in my head and I'm a weak bitch, who knows. Thanks for reading my worries.
i’ve also had absolutely terrifying panic attacks from weed. i’ve had many panic attacks before but the weed induced ones are a whole other thing, the existential panic is indescribable. i understand the feeling of having no control over your body and having a dysphoric perception of reality. the weed could have triggered some sort of extreme altered perception of yourself and your life, which could become something positive and transformative if you can learn to surrender to the feelings while also still staying grounded. but of course it’s also a good idea to see if there’s anything medical going on. is there any way you can start off with a telehealth appointment first or does the agoraphobia limit you from phone calls?
@nev6215 I'm actually working on that. I have really good insurance. A month ago, I got my bloodwork done, and my estrogens are high, and my testosterone is low but not crippling. I've also lost a ton of weight in the past 6 months. 205 to 165. Yesterday, I tried out some nose strips to help breathe, and I realized just how bad my breathing has been. An ENT a few months back confirmed I had a deviated septum.
The queen with another great vid!!
