Oh, and I also have ativan as needed for panic attacks, though I try to avoid taking it as it makes me really loopy for many hours after the panic attack. I should really write up a signature with my...
Hey guys. Thanks for all the advice. I can so relate to the people around us just thinking that we can just "stop" our anxiety and thinking. I am in therapy right now, and have been for the past...
Sometimes I feel like I just think and think and think about everything. I run everything over in my mind a million times, and I over-analyse all my behaviours and actions. I know this sounds so...
I have a very noticeable increase in anxiety before my period starts and for the first day or two after it's begun. Once I'm about halfway through my period my anxiety levels usually return to their...
Yup. Communication is key. You've got to discuss this stuff with him. He probably feels pretty inadequate right now because he probably feels like he should be "good enough" to make you happy. While...
I am on Celexa (Citalopram) which I think (?) is an SSRI, and I noticed a drop in my sex drive after going on it. I'm a female in my early twenties and in a now six-year relationship with an...

Let her know that she'll be in my prayers, and that she is not alone. Also, she's clearly got a wonderful sister to support her. <3...
Thanks for all the responses and advice, guys. I really appreciate it. Right now I'm just trying to put my faith in God to lead me through the technicalities of all this, and am focusing on my...
I can't really speak to how Wellbutrin is usually used, but I did have a brother who was on it specifically for anxiety and it seemed to work quite well for him. So, I think it can be used for that...
I think it would also be best for her to discuss all this with her prescribing doctor/psychiatrist as soon as possible. Also, if things get really bad -- your statement that your sister was unable...
Hi all, So my story is kind of a long one, and I'm not sure of exactly what I'm looking for -- advice, commiseration, similar stories, anything really. I grew up as a pretty normal kid, I guess. My...
