Welcome to HW. I hope you find your experience here to be a good one. Although some of the experiences you have listed have happened to me during periods of anxiety and panic, not all of them have. I...
I'm sorry about your anxiety and migraines. I understand your situation though. I, too, am having bad anxiety tonight. It just never seems to end. Every night is the same. I always come home by 8 or...
Yes, definately sounds like a panic attack. I get all the time during the night. It sucks because I could be laying there peacefully then all of a sudden wake up like you did. I have them almost...
Yes my mind does wander all the time. I will be talking to someone and they think that I'm not paying attention because I'm not looking at them but the truth is...I hear every word they are saying...
There are two people that I look up to the most. One of them is my father. He has always been there for me even when he wasn't. If I need someone to talk to, he is there. If I'm down on my luck, he...
These are all signs of anxiety/panic attacks. I get chest pains, the shakes, constant fear of dying from a heart attack, I get sweaty and then cold again, and I have trouble breathing. It's a...
Well, I can't say too much that everyone else had already said. My condolences on the passing of your mother-in-law. It's a shame that things need to happen like this but it sounds like you are...
Pretty much I said everything I had to say about this in the Trust thread. Everyone should have honesty and integrity....no matter who you are....
Welcome. I just thought I would stop by and offer my two cents. I, too, have experienced anxiety but it wasn't 24/7. Mine was just every single night. It still is for the most part just not as bad or...
Well, I know that I'm not going to be very helpful when it comes to the homework deal but you do need to stay calm. I know you did all that work but it isn't going to do you any good to get yourself...
[i][color=green>Garen/Nikki, [b][i]I]anyone would do this. It doesn't matter how old you are or anything, just doing it in general is WRONG. Playing on other people's sympathies like that....that...
/community/emoticons/tongue.gif [i][color=green>I'm] ...
I play a constant role in creating my own problems. I guess I can't blame everyone else for my issues so I'll just blame myself. I constantly worry about stuff that's happening and let it control my...
Great news for the both of you!! You're getting better and she keeps getting better. I'm so glad. Keep up the good work!!...
I'm glad to hear that guy got arrested....he deserves everything that he gets. Also, I'm glad that you are going home and resting more. You need it. You can't run yourself down to the point to where...
Garen, It's a good thing that you decided to go home because Nanners is right, the hospital is not a good environment to be in when you are sick. Take care of yourself and get healthy then go back...
I don't know that is a good question. I would think it's because when we are going through our symptoms ourselves....it's alot harder to recognize that it's not dangerous because when we are going...
I'm so glad to hear that you are going home to rest tonight. That is so great. I'm sorry that you are getting sick now so just take care of yourself so that you can see Nikki. You are such a great...
Great, great, great! It's so exciting to hear that she's doing so well. I'll be checking throughout the day and keep praying for her. Lots of love!!!...
I'm so glad to hear that Nikki is continuing to approve. She is a fighter, that's true. Garen, it's a good thing that you are going home tonight to rest. You really do need it. You will feel so much...
Goodnight Garen....and thanks for posting once more. Get some rest and good job with keeping up on yourself today. I know it's been hard but you are doing a superb job. You take care....
Hello Danielle and welcome to HW. I'm so glad that you found this forum because we truely are a family here. I just recently joined about a month or so ago when my anxiety and panic attacks were at...
I agree with Howlyncat....second opinions are the best. I get them all the time. When I first started having panic attacks and such, I got a first, second, third and then a fourth opinion because I...
Garen, Thank you for your update. I'm very glad to hear that she is still stable. She is strong and will pull through just fine. I keep praying for her every day and night as I'm sure everyone here...
I agree with Kitt. Look at the positive things in your life and it will help alot. That's what I have done also. Just to stay on the same page as her, I agree also in saying that you always have us...
There are a few people that I have just been meaning to talk to but haven't got around to it yet. It's hard for me to bring myself to talk to people sometimes. I just have a fear of being rejected or...
Nice song choice....
Great song, Kitt. I love it....
Well, I don't know about any "favorite" scars or anything of that nature because none of my scars were obtained in a "funny" manner.....but anyways, I have a huge scar on the top of my left arm from...
Great song pick for Nikki, Kitt. We are all pulling for her....
Bogeysmom, I would like to say that it happened shortly after a tragic situation, (as much as that sounds bad), because at least then I would know why I'm having them. My counselor just says that...
I'm not so sure on this one. Maybe I do think both ways. I really do catch myself being the "victim" in alot of situations, which is horrible. What's even worse is that I allow myself to be the...
Bogeysmom, Well, just to relate, I am also 30 years old and have panic attacks almost nightly. I've gotten lucky a few times and didn't have one but they are almost nightly for me. I have woke up...
Sounds like some anxiety to me and for that, I am sorry. I have had anxiety for a while now. When it first happened to me, I really did think that I was having a heart attack. I was so scared. I was...
I know you are probably tired of hearing this by now but I am very sorry for you loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and hope that you continue to handle this as best as you can....
I, too, am like Nanners and Junebug05 and fret over problems when they arise. Normally for me, if a problem arises, I worry about it until it makes me sick. It's like a life-altering ordeal. I know...
[i][color=purple>Wow....sorry] your troubles with your daughter. Just don't let it get you down and just try and stay in the moment. Take care of yourself first then worry about others. You are a...
I think that I always carry excess baggage around...physical clutter and mental clutter. It just seems so hard to lose some of it....
No, I don't think that my schedule dictates my diet. I'm usually not that busy since I hurt my back and all I do is lay around. I've been eating less than healthy foods lately but I could change that...
I would have to thank my father for all the help he has given me in the past and now here in the present. Also, a good friend of mine deserves alot of thanks. As always, this forum and the wonderful...
How great is that...you found pictures of your mother. I don't have any pictures whatsoever of my mom or my dad so I guess I'm not so lucky. Everyone that has pictures of them won't even give me one....
I sometimes exercise. Probably not as much as I should really but I try. I have some back issues and knee problems that I have to be careful with. I try to do some yoga when it doesn't hurt my knee...
I love coming home to my house. It's like my safe place. Actually, my bedroom is my safe place but you get my drift. I sometimes lock myself in my room so that no one will bother me and just read or...
I have a very low self esteem and I always have. Many of those points above listed by Kitt apply to me....
Yeah my anxiety and panic attacks happened just like that. I was just sitting on the couch reading a book when all of a sudden I was just overwhelmed with a great sense of fear and I couldn't...
I do not make fun a priority although I should. I think that if I did that my life would be much better off than what it is now. I should really change alot of the things that I do in my life....
1. How old is your tree? Not very old at all. 2. Where is your tree located (in a garden, on the beach, yard, etc. etc.)? In a wonderful garden. 3. Did you have to redraw your tree? No. 4. Are there...
Just take a deep breath and just keep thinking that all will be positive. Try and stay in the moment and know you can always come here if you need to vent. We are here for you. Come back and let us...
As horrible as this is to say....yes I do get irritated very easily by almost everyone. I just have so much on my mind and when others come to me with things that could be handled just by using their...
I like to read books alot. Sometimes I like to just get in my car and drive around by the water and just think but sometimes that's a bad thing to because then my anxiety gets to me. I get lucky...
