Hi Stacey A, I used to have this symptom particularly as a teen and in my very early 20's (im 29 now) but it doesnt happen anymore. Ive noticed for me that my night attacks stopped around the time...
Hi all, My name is Maz and Im a mod here in this forum, however I have not been around for roughly 6 months due to ongoing illness and surgery. Im feeling quite a bit better and look forward to...
Hi all, Just stopping in to let you all know Im thinking of you and your battles- Im sorry Ive not been around much, but as a high school teacher, its the business end of the year here in Australia,...
It hasnt happened in a long time, but I used to be deeply asleep and then BAM! wake up with a massive full blown panic attack- adrenalin racing through my body. Do not know what triggered them, but I...
Melinda I totally agree with Nanners- ive been on Xanax and Zoloft for 7 years. I am FINE. They both work very well for me. Im so sick of people 'scare-mongering' when it comes to Xanax. If your...
Im on 150mgs of Zoloft. I constantly have the munchies and have gained 20kgs- like 40 pounds. Its a tough call cos I hate my fat body, but the Zoloft really helps control my Panic. You are not alone...
Christi I agree with Karen re the baby- and I dont think its wise to invest yourself emotionally into a potentially volatile situation. I think you have alot of love to give and maybe the baby is one...
Of course!! Maz XX...
Can I ask that you dont start new threads on the same topic please? We have limited bandwith space and it makes it easier to respond to you if you post under your original thread. Respectfully, Maz...
Dont be sorry, its all good! Hang in there and keep us posted. Its quieter here on weekends, so it may take longer for others to respond, but they will. Also im the only AP Moderator in a different...
Xanax is an anti- anxiety med. Its relaxing and calming. Ive not experienced full blown derealization so I cant comment on that, but I know that without my Xanax I simply would still be stuck in my...
Im hoping to be around more often- although here in Australia its the business end of the school year, so marking, marking, more marking and grading papers and writing reports!...
I dont think that we, as humans are built to ignore grief and loss. We feel it acutely, but we also experience it differently, and each person has their own way of dealing. Ive lost more loved ones...
Hi I agree with the above posts- this relationship does not sound healthy at all. And you need to decide is she worth it? Because at the end of the day its upsetting you and causing negative...
Yay Aurora! So glad its over with for you- been praying extra hard! Happy birthday, we love having you here with us! /community/emoticons/yeah.gif Maz XX...
im busy busy busy with work, im stressed cos im sick and im also addicted to farmville!! Maz XX...
=Over the years all the meds Ive taken i thought made me extra sensitive to noise, light, smells etc- but when I look at the big picture, its the anxiety (and in my case Fibro) that makes me ultra...
Hi, I am sorry you are going through this- it sounds like you have become a bit agoraphobic- in my teen years after I was finally diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia and OCD I didnt leave my...
Hi Jenn, Just want you to know that you are not doing this alone. We all are rooting for you guys and for a happy ending. Sending prayers of comfort and peace your way- Maz XX...
luck, luck, luck! /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif Maz XX...
Christi, youve done so well- you are not letting this beat you and I love that about you. I hope your pdoc can give you the help you need so you can have a break from all this stuff- All the best,...
Blue Eyes, everyone here is depressed in one way or another- and yet we dont attack people for no good reason. You are using your depression as an excuse to be rude and hostile. You can have...
I am the queen bee of mess. My space reflects the chaos in my life, holding it all together bit by bit, almost at the end of my rope- stretched too thin. The thing is, I hate the mess but even after...
Hang in there Christi, I know it must be scary but tell your pdoc and nurse everything so they can give you the best care possible. You are doing so well. Maz XX...
Im on 150mgs Zoloft and have been for 6 years. I have gained a large amount of weight that a good diet and exercise dont seem to help- no matter how well I eat or how active I am, I cannot shift the...
Fully support this, poetry and writing is an excellent outlet for emotion and at the same time can build courage and hope. Maz XX...
You know the saying "she was so nervous she had a lump in her throat"? Having that lump is a part of anxiety, a pretty common and harmless part of the condition. If you feel the lump is glandular or...
I agree with Debaser- sounds like a tummy bug and you should stick to bland foods and liquids in the days following such an episode. Have you considered you may have had food poisoning? Make sure you...
I'm sorry, but your interpretation of these "Rules" is so far off base, that I may contact the owner of this board and ask for a review of moderator practices, training and policing. You are clearly...
Sending you hugs, my fellow countryman! Feel better, but take all the time you need to heal well and properly. Also- consider hitting the 'ignore' button. Maz XX...
Christie I think you are so brave! That sounds really scary. I think the best part is that you recognise that this is not normal for you and share it with your pdoc so you can get to the root of...
Please hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel- we care and we support you. Maz XX...
Jen you have my full support. I cant imagine what you and your hubby are up against. I believe you are an adult making an informed choice in a difficult situation. Dont let the negativities of...
Jen you can still discuss this, the thread is not being locked because of your topic or behaviour . You have every right to support. Have you considered emailing Jamie as you both get along so well?...
Hi guys, Its great that you all are posting but can I please request that you don't make multiple threads about yourself? Start one thread and keep us updated on that one as it is hard to manage...
Ive always been a 'grinder', even as a kid. I also have TMJ so that doesnt help, but I went to an orthodontist and got a splint made to sleep with. Kinda like a mouth guard, but specifically shaped...
Ive been on 4mgs of Xanax for around 7 years. I take it for panic attacks, not as a sleep aid. I would strongly advise that you dont use Xanax as a sleeping tablet, that you find something less...
Ben are you in therapy or on any meds? Hang in there mate, we are here for you Maz XX...
Im not sure about the free meds- Im in Australia and we do things differently here, but in regards to free therapy I will give you some links to some really great and very helpful free online...

It is!!! It is exactly the same as a gall bladder attack, the severity is like contractions under your rib cage! Oh I feel awful. Thanks so much for your well wishes and response- Maz XX...
Thanks Sherrine for your response, the link was helpful- I dont know what my doctor is talking bout either, to be honest! Sorry i used the wrong term- I didnt say auto immune, I meant illnesses...
Hi guys, have recently been hospitalised for what was thought to be biliary colic- stones in my bile duct (gallbladder removed 2002) and the pain was excruciating. After a bunch of invasive tests, it...
Menolly You have given us a very detailed background of your situation, but I noticed something missing- family. Are you on good terms with your family? Do you have a support network of friends and...

Aurora, soooo good to hear from you! Ive been wondering about your health. Im glad the colonoscopy was all clear and I sympathise with the prepping, lol. My last one was in 2004 and I didnt get off...
I would seriously consider cutting out the caffeine as much as you can, or limiting your intake. Same goes for energy drinks with Guarana, Ginseng, Gilko Boboa- all of which are stimulants. Hang in...
Good luck! When I have to travel and drive I take either audiobooks to listen to on my car stereo cd player, or relaxing music and I find it distracts me from feeling anxious. Same as listening to...
