58 days off Zyns today. Honestly, the last couple months have been some of the scariest of my life. I went through intense anxiety, panic attacks, depersonalization, chest pain, shortness of breath, racing thoughts, and so many other symptoms that made me feel like something was seriously wrong with me.

Lately I’ve actually been feeling a lot better overall, but now I’m dealing with something weird… the calmness itself is freaking me out. I got so used to my heart feeling like it was going to jump out of my chest and constantly being on edge, that not feeling anxious almost feels unnatural now.

It’s like my brain got addicted to the fear and adrenaline. Anyone else relate to this during recovery? Did it eventually level out where calm started feeling normal again?

Thank you in advance for replying

Here is proof that it gets better for those of you who are going trough hell. Anxiety, Depersonalization, Panic Attacks, shortness of breath, social or driving anxiety you name it I had it the past 1 month and 18 days. It seems like it’s been a year, but I’ve had three great days with minimal shortness of breath or tad brain fog and dizziness, Thank God it’s getting better. My Apple Watch notified me 3 days ago that my HR was looking better and this morning my oura ring said something similar. The last symptom I keep having is like I really can’t catch a good breath which I keep yawning for, it’s been like this for three days but everything else better week by week. There’s windows and waves for sure but each one is less intense. Love you all, stay strong and fight as hard and as long as you can to stay off any med a doc might want to give you. I kid you not, my doc wanted to give me a ton of them to try out, I said no. I stuck with natural remedies like sleepy tea, tons of water, eating clean, sleeping, walking, playing videos games, drawing or coloring, reminding myself that this was body repairing itself. I stopped all alcohol, all caffeine, all sugar, all high carbs and to help with the anxiety I always had ice water with me I a thermo cup, sour candy and gum.
