I had a anxiety attack "for the first time"

Cause all those times in the past where I thought I had one, I think weren't anxiety attacks now

I have my appetite back finally but my chest hurts

**Lego-man945** · 15th October 2021, 1:47 PM

:(
does sleep help?
I've heard chamomile tea can help calm the nerves

**Mia** · 15th October 2021, 11:26 PM

Sleep does help... until I wake up

I lit a lavender candle and am breathing it in, that seems to help a bit

**Mia**

I can't sleep tonight

My body aches from the attack last night

I'm slowly getting my appetite back

I lost like 10 pounds due to stress, I'm skin and bones at this point

I was able to eat half a pizza today, and I'm drinking 3 protein shakes a day

**Mia**

I had to go home from work early today though

After 3 hours my heart was pounding so hard I was having trouble breathing

Once I got home I was feeling much better

I'm rarely on JV cuz of school and life so if you need me, just dm me cuz I have my dms open on the JV server Tongue

If I don't get better then I might

I don't like bothering my best friend with this kind of stuff

**Mia** · 19th October 2021, 10:34 AM

I'm gonna try a cup of chamomile tea each morning to see if that calms my nerves

At least it's all natural, cause those meds messed me up

**Mia** · 19th October 2021, 10:47 AM

Cause I took escitalopram for 2 days then had that attack I talked about earlier

**Mia** · 19th October 2021, 10:49 AM

And I'm afraid to try any other meds so I'm definitely on board for any all natural stress relievers

If anyone's got any other ideas for all natural stress relievers, let me know

**Ashley766** · 19th October 2021, 10:50 AM

I hope you feel better @Mystery

Sending you peace and hope

Stress is a killer. What I do is I just take things slow, listen to my favorite music, and take breaks from social media cuz I know how hard that can be on my mental health.

**Mia** · 19th October 2021, 10:55 AM

I think most of my stress is coming from my job, and some of it is coming from my own dark thoughts

**Mia**

Thanks for the advice and well wishes, I appreciate it

It's nice to know there's people out there that care

Update time

I talked to my supervisor, me and another coworker tried to convince him to move us to another department because the other 2 coworkers on that line were causing us lots of stress

He did not handle it very well in my opinion, got kind of mad at us, and caused me to have one of those heart pounding spells

But he did say that he would try to accommodate us by putting us over in that other department whenever possible

I was over there today, and unfortunate news

The coworkers over there are less stressful, but the job itself is more stressful

So it's kind of a win lose situation on both departments

Maybe it's finally time I found another job

**Mia** · 20th October 2021, 10:33 AM

Cause I can handle the feet pain, knee pain, and wrist pain

But if it's affecting my mental health this much then I really can't see any future there

Mental health comes first, do whatever makes you feel good. I've quit working before because of my mental health and for me at least it helped quite a bit

Good luck mystery
