my problem meditation does not seem to work for me. I cannot stop thinking!!!!...
Thanks, I have a doc, but cannot see him until a month from now. I need to tell him, because I do play over the same worries in my head over and over....
The only thing I still take is some caffeine (a cup of coffee) when I'm sluggish, (but sometimes I go overboard and make my anxiety kick in) and soda. Soda with aspartame. I am addicted to soda. I...
Thanks, I am trying, but I am a constant thinker. If I can stop thinking, or have something pleasant to think about it would help. When a person feels like there is doom ahead, a person tends to get...
Do I have obsessive disorder? I have depression and anxiety, but I worry about the same things every day. And those thoughts make me anxious and depressed. Or is it my anxiety and depression causing...
I suffer from depression and anxiety. But my anxiety has lessened somewhat, unless something (anything) triggers it. Usually I feel tired and depressed. (I have been on Wellbutrin since 2000) I have...
It's silly. I can have bad luck on any day. Friday the 13th yesterday was no worse than other days. :rolleyes:...
Same here. Valentines's day is just another day to rub it in I have nobody. Cupid never visits any gals I like. Not for me, anyway. Stupid Cupid. /community/emoticons/nono.gif ...
Thanks, I am not much of a reader, cannot concentrate on the words, but listening to someone with my eyes closed seems to help....
Could you suggest some and links to them, or titles on itunes? I already have Dr. Claire Weekes CD and some other guy (What is mindfulness?) I forgot his name. I'd like to be able to relax without...
I am seeing a therapist. I saw him 3 times. I also had a psychiatrist since 2000. Thanks....
I have had depression all my life, and at some point, anxiety. But the worst anxiety began right after I got out of the hospital for hernia surgery. There were 2, because the first one did not take....
I feel that if i had something I could download to copy to CD so I could relax, it may help. Itunes has audiobooks, but I'm not sure if any are any good....
My anxiety is caused by more responsibilities and worries of the future....
For the past 2 nights, my father has had stomach upset. But last night, he threw up all his food. I don't know what's going on, but he may have to go to the ER if this keeps up. This, along with my...
Is this normal with Lexapro? I am also taking Klonopin and Wellbutrin....
Thanks, all. :cool:...
Thanks for the response, but I lack people skills, am shy, and don't trust people easily because of all the times I've been used and rejected....
I get to worrying about my father, his age and state of mind, I get upset. Sometimes he acts like he does not know what's going on. He takes Aricept, but has not been officially diagnosed with...
Thanks, we talked for 70 minutes. I feel better talking to someone one on one. I don't have anyone to talk to otherwise, everyone's busy, or don't understand. Second meeting was yesterday....
Have another appt today. :cool:...
Now it seems the depression is setting in. Maybe a little less anxiety, but more depression. But less anxiety is better. I'll see how it goes. I just added a title to your post. Thx Gail (mod) I took...
GreenGrove, my email is just my username + @earthlink.net...
Ativan 1.0mg did nothing for me. :sad:...
He seems like a great one, I knew him when he worked in PSR. He isn't like my old therapist, she just asked me "what can you do to help with these feelings" AS IF I had the answers. If I had the...
I, know what mental and emotional suffering is, I had depression all my life. I now live with the daily torment of anxiety, and so far, nothing stops it, although meds help some. Worrying, or just...
Aww, gee, thanks!! :-)...
Thanks, all. I am on disability for clinical depression. So i did not work since 1995. But my anxiety started after I was released from the hospital. My psychiatrist got the message and prescribed...
I got an elderly father and disabled brother. That's all. Better than being alone, but i still feel alone when i am suffering....
. . . from my hernia surgeries last month. Ever since I was released (after 16 days) in the hospital, I have had increasing anxiety. Cannot see my shrink for another, long week. Medical doctor gave...
Thanks, all. I am going to resist alcohol. I also found out I don't have to have another surgery. That's a load off my mind BTW, Doctors don't seem to care about mental issues. :mad:...
Thanks. :wink:...
It seemed to start after I got out of the hospital (in 16 days for hernia operations), and it was about 9 days before Christmas. I wanted to be home for Christmas and I got well enough to be...
