the science guys agree on one thing...
what we are eating has a huge impact on the brain...
but we are still faced with what diet to follow...

I eat a healthy diet.
My brain is still very dysfunctional...

I feel my plight stems from a dysfunctional sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

I send good wishes to you LT with your amazing effort. I think it helps to eat well.

LT, I think I need to take klonopin regularly now. I am getting several small moderate to severe panic attacks throughout the day. I am nervous. What if dependence develops and I need to increase the dosage to get the desired effect? However I take a small dosage now - . 25mg.
But taking klonopin helps... helps me get out of bed and I can push myself to try to follow my daily to do list.
Need your and others' advice on this.
I am trying to hang in there, but it's very tough.

mimi---i can't say for you...i even have trouble saying for me...
the benzos are so good but the problem of dependence...
i struggle on certain days...i want a valium...i need a valium to handle
a bad mood...but i am trying meditation to replace valium...and also
i look at dr claire weekes books about panic....

that panic thing is still for me one of my major problems...
i send you kindness and love...we are dealing with some tough stuff..

Hugs LT.

I feel very lonely too... I miss my American boyfriend all the time... I wish he comes back to me some day. Maybe he needs time. He had told me once that he's not an evil man, that he loves me for real. So I wait for him to come back.....

Irl I don't have any friends, my parents are mean and don't love me, my ex Indian boyfriend(a psychopath) stalks me online and physically....he calls me and tells me to kill myself now that everyone's dumped me!!

You can imagine it is tough for me to hang in there.

I have been meditating and trying to stay occupied.
That helps with the panic attacks...

When resting (and i need lots of rest) the panic races through me imitating the virus....

Thank you for always being kind and respectful to all on the bus dear little turtle.

Have you tried deep breathing like this before?

I was wondering, a question for all on the bus.

Do you think each day what do I want from my life and what kind of relationship do I want with my friends. and/or husband/wife etc. I do not. I guess that's because I try to accept people who are friends as is. Unless they violate an obvious boundary with disrespect which my friends do not. But I did make a thread where I specified exactly what I did NOT want

I request no mention of that ''thing'' which triggers me in this discussion. I think all on the bus know what that is, from the thread I started. Its the ''situation''.... I personally nearly always skip all posts that talk about it or allude to it as they trigger me. If that changes I will let people know. So I guess I am saying what I would like and what I do not want from my friends on the bus In response to my post anyway

I've been trying it more lately as well. I do not have many benzos at the moment I think the deep breathing is helping.

Do you have a garden? Papa bear finds being outside in the garden very helpful.

Maybe we can post more about deep breathing. There are a couple of deep breathing exercises I can post about tomorrow hopefully.

Deep Breathing/Diaphragmatic Breathing: I do not practice this regularly, but I know how to do it. If I am already somewhat relaxed, deep breathing can reinforce my short-term feeling of calm. If I am stressed beyond a certain point, deep breathing either just won't help or escapes my mind altogether.

Thinking about Relationships: What I want from established relationships almost never comes to mind.
