I'm not sure if this has been covered before. It is impossible for me to read every thread posted here. I've experienced panic attacks in the past when I'm locked. Most are pretty mild and easily dealt with. Some are actually rather severe and thankfully rare. When the bad one's happen I get short of breath and almost feel like I'm going to "freak out". I am healthy and get a check up from the Doc every 9 months. I just had a check up last month, all is well. Does / has anybody ever experienced anything like this?
Not exactly, but I do seem to get more depressed and moody when I'm not locked. I believe that it's because I have come to associate my cage psychologically with the euphoria I experience from being Orgasm free for extended periods of time. It's possible you associate the cage (or chastity) with something that is causing you anxiety.
So it seems you either need to not lock or find a way to stop the panic attacks. Maybe only lock at home for a short period, say 15 minutes. If you don’t have an attack. Be happy and reflect on it. Then try for 20 or 30. Repeat until you can do an hour. Then go for a walk around the neighborhood or for a short drive. Again repeat with longer and longer periods. If that doesn’t work you could go see a therapist. Just call and see if they’re kink friendly and aware. My PTSD therapist is and we’ve had some interesting discussion. None about chastity but still stuff that would be difficult if she wasn’t.
I find i will have periods of time where i feel very tense and almost panic like. I assume its from not cumming and releasing that built up anxiety.
I guess I should have added that I've been in and out of chastity since around 2003 or so, with my longest duration locked up at around 62 days. These attacks occur when I'm locked and not exactly sure how long it will be until release. Thank you for the positive comments though.
Ahhh So you panic when you don’t know? So is not knowing causing the panic attacks? In that case it seems you need to figure out why. I’m guessing you fear the loss of control. But isn’t that part of why we do this? Do you have a counselor? If so I think you need to discuss th8s with them If not maybe a little time with one could help. And I try to be positive as most folks here are decent and we all need to help each other.
I used to go to a shrink, and have been diagnosed with rage and depression problems. I quit going years ago as I didn't see it making any progress, while at the same time I don't have near the problems like that anymore.
Well you know you best. But if the panic attacks are a problem, maybe seeing someone different could help. Sometimes a different perspective is all we need. Sometimes someone can help us see what we don’t, or can help us figure out what’s bothering us. Of sometimes the “issue” is minor and we can live with it. So please do what’s best for you.
I've had anxiety, but nothing as far as a panic attack myself. Doesn't sound like fun at all. Hope you can find a solution or compromise.
Maybe you need a guaranteed release date or “on or before”, so that the primitive part of your brain will know it’s not forever. If you and your keyholder want to reset without release at that time, they can unlock you then re-click the lock.
I see a Psychiatrist at Veterans for Depression, under control for the last year, PTSD, T.B.I, with High Anxiety. over the years as I have had to deal with Anxiety, some of the drugs made it worse, now this worked for me, dropped the Meds the lorazepam and to sleep mirtazapine oh those nightmares. stated an Anxiety journal, keeping track of when they hit, day/night, what am I doing when it strikes, how severe By doing that I started to understand my triggers. Also sharing with Mistress has helped a lot. I wish you all the best in the World.
When I was first locked and it was open-ended, yes. I would pace at night, hyperventilating. It would usuay pass in an hour or so, thankfully.
Time to Acceptance the condition of being locked. Of course you're freaking out, it's part of giving up control. Your spirit is breaking down and you're going through the throes of that experience. Explain your fears to your KH. I would suggest that you turn that energy toward your KH's pleasure. Immerse yourself in serving, close your eyes and focus on pleasing your superior. It's no longer about you.
Quite honestly, there is no intimacy between my wife and I, and there hasn't been for a number of years. I've tried a number times to open a dialog with her about it, and she just shuts down. It is what it is.
This used to happen to me. I was able to narrow down to the cause to essentially not being used to the horny full balls feeling and it would make my adrenaline go crazy. I was able to stave them off once I realized what was causing them, but it was very scary indeed. I no longer get them. I would try to pin point the spark of them and address it from there. If it’s because you can’t get out, that’s hogswash, very very few devices can’t be defeatEd. Some may require tools, but they can almost always be defeated. Understanding that should put the mental game back in your control
I’d be getting panic attacks too then. Maybe you need to lower your drive if you are in for the long term.
