I called my insurance company to ask if I was covered for a referral to a counselor. I have my appointment, but my question is, my primary doctor doesn't know I have anxiety because I've never told...
Thanks for your advice. This anxiety honestly really is ruining me. I will put some serious thought into professional therapy....
Laruen, After reading your post, I honestly could not relate to you more! We're around the same age and I feel the same things you do! I understand when you say you try to lead a normal life but...
I see a counselor, mainly for depression. Last time I saw her, she suggested that I go to an anxiety specialist so that I can cope with my anxiety. Here's my situation. I'm a little undecided about...
Givingup- Please don't-don't give up. You've had to endure much pain in your day, but this hopefully has, or will, make you a much stronger person. I know that it's cliche, and everyone says that,...

i don't think this is the case, but what you're telling us reminds me of a facticious disorder. do you enjoy the fact that when you're sick people pay extra attention to you and take care of you? i...
