l1qu3, There are so many times where I wish I could just be ignorant, or 'simple minded'. My brain is always over analyzing situation and events, in which it leads my mind into so many twists and...
Thank you Scaredy for the encouragement, What you said actually made sense and made me feel better. You said that "whether or not you consciously believe the words...they still have a healing effect...
Thank you AnxiousGuy! Today has been okay so far. I woke up late because I stayed up late, I was finally able to write a few pages in my book. Had a bible study with my girls outside in the sun and...
Hello HealingWell family! I thought I would vent, or comment a bit on how I have felt today/yesterday. Yesterday (Aug 4) was my birthday and everything was pretty calm, laid back and boring. Which is...
Hi Kookie, Sorry you have been having anxiety :( I know that panic and anxiety sucks and is not fun having at all. A few things that have helped me: 1. Breathing deeply and exhaling slowly, this...
Mike, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. :( I would be embarrassed too if I had a shiner, don't beat yourself up over it though, many people get nervous over that. As for your anxiety, sometimes...

anxsanity, I am sorry you are going through this. And I do know how hard this is for you. Honestly, it sounds to me that your husband is being very unfair to you, and if he has been sending pictures...
NightWish, Honestly I don't know how they test you on that, but seeing a doctor for it is definitely your best way to go. I 'think' but am not %100 sure on this, but they might go by symptoms that...
This hit the nail on the head with me. The past month every time I watch violent movies I start to get panicky. Honestly, it's nice to know that I am not alone in all this. I used to never be like...
Hello Anon, I was on Zoloft as well, but after a month,or month and a half, I stopped talking it cold turkey (without weaning myself off of it) as well. My reason for going off of it was because it...

Risa, Thanks for sharing, I really liked the part about how the media talks more about the serious diseases over the minor things our body goes through. I never thought about that, but yeah the...
Kitt, Thanks for the advice! I have never tried aloe vera juice, but I will definitly get some and see how that works. I also heard that licorice works (not the candy) so I am going to see about...
I am taking zoloft, but am trying to stop, I am not big on medications, I would rather take natural remedies....
Joavila, I think you should call your doctor/surgeon about it and tell him/her about your concerns. My sister has an abscess on the back of her neck as well, I might have already told you this, but...

Ghosst8, When I sat down and thought about your question it was a bit tricky to answer. Maybe it's self doubt or not believing in myself that I can do it. There are a few things that factor in on why...
Subzeromambo, Hello! Glad to hear that you are picking up the pieces in your life :D. I know how hard it is in the social scene, I fight with that daily. However, what helps me is positive self talk....

Ryates80, I also heard about low vitamin D as well. I know we can get a good source of that by being out in the sun, which I have been doing a lot of lately! I also bought some sunny D hoping it will...

Hello Coop22, I have never taken Ativan before, but like flashinglights said it doesn't matter the size, a 1mg can have a high affect on a person. To me, if it doesn't help you can always consult...
Speaking of heartburn, last night I was up until 7am with it! It was awful, and I know how bad heartburn can get. Mine started 10 years ago after I had my oldest daughter. I used to be able to eat...
Joavila92, I suggest that you talk with a doctor about the abscess. It may be something as simple as an infected hair, which can be treated with medication. My sister had that once, it did take...
Ryates, You just explained me to the T, all except I am not a nurse, BUT I have a major in psychology, which that knowledge gets me into a panic. I worry, or think I have every mental illness out...

Flashinlights, That's one thing I love about this site, so many people here helping each other in need. The last few days have been rough for me, my mind has been going overboard, but I have been...
So today was a bit rough for me. My anxiety was up and my mind was going every direction thinking I have every disease known to man. It took me half the day to finally calm down. I ended up painting...

anxsanity, sometimes it's hard for people who don't have anxiety to understand our worries, stresses and anxieties. I know I have trouble expressing my feelings to people around me because I always...
