Hi SC! The systoms are horrible. But I try to relax slow breathing and focus on my safe place. It helps but the jump start of the attacks always are the hardest. I am taking my oldest daughter with...
Anxiety has been very high resently. Heart palps are worse. I am getting them when I exercise which doesn't help. They are horrible if my heart rate gets to high. Anything above 140 and bam they kick...
Accept, sorry to hear about your troubles as well. I to would love to go out to a coffee shop or take a bath.. No tub and no coffee shops..LOL well none close. But I do try and focus on other things....
My son (16) went skate boarding 9 days ago and busted his arm/wrist. Broke both bones. Doc first wanted to do surgery but when they straightened it the arm aligned just right and he got lucky. No...
I have been on and off the forms for a while now. I was not aware that Kitt had passed. I should of checked in more often. I for sure received a lot of support and great advice from Kitts posts. Many...
Have you checked for a tonsil stone? These things are annoying and feel like something is stuck in your throat until they un-lodge themselves. Even if you don't have tonsils you can still get these...
Thanks Stkitt, I knew just getting it all off my chest and hoping for a good response would help so much. Had a good cry this morning. Unloaded it all and I feel better. Sometimes holding it in or...
As a high case of anxiety and panic, I have found myself falling to pieces for the last 20 or so days. All since the day my better half had to go back to Alabama for work. In December I decided to...
Thanks Larry. That would be a sweet idea. I've often thought about doing a daily journal. I used to do that as a teenager. Loved it. Until of course my parents got ahold of it. Which ruined me ever...
Thank you! Brought a smile to my face. You are right I had a good step forward today! And I should look at that instead of one little issue that has since way passed! I do miss him. And his comfort....
Going to try to make this as short as possible. :) Because of the gov and its shut down. Hubby lost his contract with them. So he has now had to be shipped off to the main office. He has been there...
I don't try to do it. Its just an odd position I seem to be getting into. Its really weird. Its new. And seems to be happening more so I was concerned. But of course who isn't with anxiety and new...
Oh movies,shows, books, even news articles can set me off. Hubby will pre read books, read up on movies before I go see or read them. Its crazy the triggers we have.. hehe I can hardly sit at a...
Just happened again. I was already not doing well. Went to rest my head on my desk stomach felt like it was in my throat. And of course this was 5-10 minutes after I had a heart palp. So set me off...
Every once and awhile. Rare I will say. But I can (at least it seems) move my tongue to the back of my throat. Kinda like a head down tongue back. Sometimes it feels like it triggers my gag reflex...
Thanks Igm1942. It helps knowing I'm not going nuts totally. hehe I do feel better and thank you for not describing the situation. It would of for sure threw me on another panic attack =). Or set my...
I just can't seem to shake this idea I'm having a heart attack. Every pain is a sure thing. Right now I feel a little nausea. But I'm not sure if its that or I'm hungry. To worried/panicked to try...
Thanks for the support =) I finally got to my 'happy' place lol. Doing much better. Now its time to work on my mind cycle as I call it. I keep wanting to think of the worst. Hopefully it won't take...
Well for about 2.5 months I had a break. A little anxiety. But nothing that mattered. Then tonight bam welcome back. 3 hours of shaking worrying and just plain feeling horrible. I hadn't missed it I...
Your complaint or issue. Is actually quite common for those who are stuck under fluorescent lights. The one thing your company should have supplied you with is a screen filter. Its a darker screen...
S.C., I have never thought of it that way. About putting the anxiety into a cup. But you are totally right.After the bird issue my cup was over flowing. I was hoping to have a good night. But ended...
I've been trying really hard for the past few days to allow myself to feel anxious. But trying to steer clear of full blown panic attacks. I've been telling myself "its ok to feel worried or scared....
I've thought about doing some exercises. I am pretty much stationary. As I try to stay level on emotions. But your post might just give me that nudge I've been needing! Congrats on your run though. I...
Sorry Kitt, I can't think of any that hasn't been said already....
I Serenitee, I totally understand how you feel. I've been dealing with this very issue for some time now. I can't offer much advice to be honest. Just support in the fact I know what you are going...
I took celexa for a very short time. About 2 maybe 3 months. My mom and I both took it at the same time. We both started out with 1/4 tablet. And I tell you what I had the best/worst side effects...
Hi Tara, I am a one of the bunch that can't work. I've been out of work 7 years in May. I was able to work for about 6 weeks 4 years ago. But I was bumped up quickly very quickly and it was to much...
Oh I am a mess a week before and the week of. Its one of the tell tale signs for me that my period is gonna start soon. My anxiety is a good 10x worse for those 2 weeks. No fun what so ever thats for...
Oh I had one of those... We now have been divorced for 12 years I believe but haven't been together in 16 years. It got so bad he busted out the windshield from my car. Tried to kidnap my oldest...
Thanks Scaredy Cat. I thought I was solo on this weird feeling. I finally had a full attack at about 4am yesterday morning and the space goat feeling (LOL) has been gone. Even managed to spend a few...
I have major health anxiety, social anxiety and agoraphobia. But for about a week now I've been feeling on edge. Like something should be wrong. I don't know what it should be but just off. Anxious,...
Hi Seamus, I took buspar and it worked very well for me until I upped my dose. I was taking 2.5mg 3 times a day. Went from that to 5mg 3x a day and had issues. Haven't taken it since. I wont go into...
I am pale as a ghost. And I have lots of vein action in the shower. At first it bugged me. But now that I've noticed them for years now. Its no longer a bother. And yes more so on the left than the...
Hi Dawn, I just wanted to get on this same bandwagon your in. I've been dealing with health anxiety since I was around 8 and lost my grandmother (who I did not know very well). Tonight I'm dealing...
No therapy for me. I wouldn't be able to make it to the office. Honestly I'm getting out of the house on average once every 2 months. But after my post last night I felt a weight lifted off my chest....
I have had a very rough 3 weeks and still counting. 3 straight weeks of really high anxiety and mini panic attacks. I call them mini because they are lasting about an hour each time. But I'm dealing...
Things have been a little mellow for me for about a week or 2. Nothing major has been happening panic wise. Anxiety is always high. Well I guess tonight was a kick off just in time for Christmas.....
S.C, I know what you mean. I know for sure my kids would be covered. He is the father of one but my daughters are from my first marriage. But I had my son with my bf. But since I was still 'married'...
Thanks S.C. Sometimes its just frustrating when the mind wonders to the irrational part of this whole anxiety/panic stuff. We all know really deep down we are ok. And that its just anixety/panic...
I've been having a mild burning in my chest with my tummy feeling really hard. The burning lasts seconds and doesn't 'hurt' but I'm well aware that it pops up. I took 2 tums and the tummy is no...
Hi Display, Oh the horrible car problems. I used to work at Auto Zone! Yes they will check your check engine light for free. They can also look at your car (minor glaces) and give you an idea whats...
Oh the 'news' is horrible for me. I read comcast.net a lot. And its got a little of everything. Sports,world news, local and celebrities. Well recently Rosie O'Donnell had an issue. Well guess what.....
Well this was a little bit of a surprise. I was just coming here to vent my frustrations. I am another health anxiety person. My heart. I worry about the same thing 24/7. The only time I have relief...
Hi Hazel, I have jaw pain. Often.. From TMJ and the fact I clinch my mouth shut a lot. I often have to catch myself and stop it. It happens more in the morning after I wake and in the evening when...
I think your son needs someone to vent on and you're his target. Most boys try to grow up before they are ready. And with that they become out of control. They do not understand what is going on and...
Yuck I hate vivid dreams. But I have only had a few really vivid dreams. And I remember only one to this day as if it happened yesterday. Anyway a good place to start is your diet. To much caffeine...
Thanks Kitt and Blu. Its hard watching her fall apart. And watching my dad make her suffer even more. He is mentally abusive. Always has been. My mom is finally seeing it after all these years. And...
As soon as I think I'm doing so much better. I end up taking 15 steps back. Some info into my rant/vent. My mom's side of the family has some mental issues in the back ground. My grandma (her mom)...
Buspar was the only med that worked for me. Though I did deal with a pretty upset tummy for the first 2 weeks. Doc didn't warn me about it. But I dealt with it. I took 1/4 a pill 3 times a day. Then...
Southern New Mexico here! Though I will have to add... I'm Irish..lol Born and raised in the desert though. Its HOT here. Its 4am and already 60 degree's outside. I would love some snow, rain,...
