Hi I am a new member. I have lived with anxiety and depression my whole life. The past year has been a nightmare.....alcohol abuse, substance abuse and severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I recently had an "ah ha" moment and the lights came on. I am a totally different person and never new life could be this good!!! I am still in therapy but doing well. During my journey I found it frustrating that no one understood....I really needed someone to just"get it" that's why I am here. I get it, I understand because I have been there. I am here for anyone who wants to talk. I need to talk too. I am not a doctor but I do know what you are going through..
To anyone who suffers from any mental disorder...hang on life can get better I am proof of that! :-)

I am also on Celexa and was on clonazepam for a long time. I recently had my medications changed still on Celexa but off the clonazepam. Are you going to counseling?

Hi and welcome....so awesome you' ve reached recovery and are so happy.
I too am an addicted person. I am currently on suboxone treatment. I used
to be a drinker along the years but luckily that has faded away and I have no
desire to do that anymore. My husband more than makes up for me. He is
a raging alcoholic.

I gather since you joined healingwell that you have had issues with anxiety and or panic.

Panic is my beast. I have a host of other isssue as well but the panic definatly pre-empts
it all. I practice alot of mindfullness that I've learned here as well as many other things
that have helped me from the resource page.

How are you feeling lately as far as the anxiety goes? Did it all go away for you?
I am on 5 different meds at the time-all psych meds...lucky me. But thank God, they
have helped enable me to work each day. I still have trouble with any other stuff i have
to do but am so grateful to at least be well enough to go to work each day. That is big
progress for me.

Hope to hear from you some more. Let us know how it's going. So nice to have a fresh face
around here that is feeling well.

Have a good one!
Linda
