Hey DW. That's me... super sweet. Had an idea I wanted to run past ya, thus the email. Would feel better talking about it on there. The Seroquel is definitely a med that has helped with sleep, as...
BUMP Hey DW. Was just wondering how you were doing and if you had tried the seroquel. Hope you are doing better in any case. TF aka PT...
Hey DW. I was rx'd Seroquel years back for my anxiety and panic. I think my original dose (and USUALLY I start with very low doses first as I tend to be sensitive) was 250mg? 2 and 1/2 100 mg tabs me...
Hey Kitt. So sorry you're having to deal with all of this. I agree with SC, you have the right to have a (temporary) pity party. Know that we're here for you and any time you need to vent, please do...
Hey Darkwolf!!!! Long time, no see. You may know me as PresentTensed - as that was my sn in another life. Drop me a line in my email.. it's under this profile. I hope you've been OK, but as you're...
Congratulations Fleur!!!! :) I'm the same way with feeling good about accomplishments, but experiencing some residual anxiety from the experience as well. Ya passed.. so just try to chill out now. :)...
Hey meshice. That sounds like classic anxiety/panic to me. I'm not sure of everything going on in your life, but dealing with a chronic disease is definitely stressful. I have often had that kind of...
Hey Fleur. I'm glad that you'll be getting the news in just a couple of hours; just wish the timing was better. You have to be ready for both outcomes. IF you didn't pass it is not the end of the...
Hey Kitt. Been thinking about you and was wondering how you were doing. You shouldn't feel like you're weak for crying - it's one of nature's great outlets. This would be a lot for anyone to go...
Hey fleur. I can imagine the type of anxiety you're going through. Law school and graduation, test prep, and the actual test are all very competitive; and I would bet anything that a lot of other...
Hey there. I have experienced what you're talking about many times over. It's a very frustrating and aggravating experience to lose ones train of thought and to have racing thoughts. For me it seems...
Hey Scaredy Cat. Thanks for making my url a link. :) That's what I was going for, but copying and pasting the url didn't seem to transform it into a hyperlink. I obviously still have tricks to learn....
Hey there. I'm looking for the same thing. I posted this question and got several answers, so I think you may want to take a look at this post....
Hey NAE. I responded to another post of yours regarding what you've been going through. I'm happy to read how determined you are (that's going to help you big time!) in getting better and the...
Hey Jamiee. Just saw your post and wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. TroubleFree...
Hey NAE. I think a lot of people will identify with you as anxiety and depression are often (not always) things that can follow you over a long period of time. I know it has for me. I'm happy to hear...
Hey Kitt. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about ya and I'm sending good vibes your way. TroubleFree...
Hey Display. Congrats on the interview! I know from reading another one of your posts how long you've been waiting to get a response. Getting back on the horse after losing a job or something else...
Hey Kitt. I just started posting on here more and haven't really gone through all too many posts/threads. I got to this one and just wanted to let you know that you're in my thoughts and that I'm...
Hey Frizzbee. I'm so happy everything went so well. :) I'm not surprised given all the hard work you put into the event. That's great feedback from the veteran runners.. that really means something!...
Hey Display. Thanks for your suggestion; I really appreciate it! I have a place in mind that seems likely, but I'm also in the middle of a lot of stuff at the moment with other health matters, etc......
Hey Scaredy Cat. Having lived around noise I can tell you it definitely adds to the tension. Even when you get used to it and you're not consciously thinking about it, it's something that's there in...
Hey Frizzbee I'm sure you did great on your work and I'm happy you'll be able to experience and see the finished project tomorrow. It's so nice when you can see the fruit of your labor. Wishing you a...
Appreciate getting all your responses. :) Frizzbee - OK. Have NAMI in mind and will check it out. I know what it's like to be too tuned in to what your body is doing. I do that... when I don't feel...
Hey Frizzbee. Really appreciate your response and help. :) I do believe I came across something regarding NAMI, but whenever you GOOGLE it can be hard to tell the legitimate groups from those that...
Hey Hazelnut. I saw your post last night, but I was fading fast and had to go to bed. I was going to highly recommend the magic potion. :) Just have to be careful which genie you get it from... those...
Hey SC. Glad to get a response... just wish there were more. I must be using the wrong bait. :) Are there really that few people on here that have participated in an in person support group for...
Wondering how many of you are in support groups (in person) for anxiety/panic/PTSD/OCD/Depression OR whatever other fun thing you can think of :-) I think the right group could really do wonders for...
Hey Melodee. I don't know your back story, so I'm not sure of your history with your family and what causes your anxiety; but I can certainly relate to difficulties with family. I come from a very...
Hey Cole. Sorry to hear about your ER visit. If you are someone that suffers from heavy anxiety, you MAY be exaggerating and focusing in on a pain that may be gas or something muscular... I don't...
Hey TDP. I'm sorry for what you've been experiencing. I can see the way you wrote everything out that you're organized and you're smart (I couldn't follow the link.... bad computer on this end!). I...
Hey Robert. I don't have this particular problem, but I have seen urologists for intermittent/chronic scrotal pain (not fun!!!!). Still trying to get a concrete diagnosis... may be a hernia as...
Hey cln777. I wanted to suggest a book that I think you might find helpful in understanding your family and the dynamic that you have with them. I think this book could really help you in...
Hey cln777. I also suffer from many forms of anxiety as well as some physical problems (among other things). I also have dealt with a family that lacks empathy and is in fact abusive. Anxiety,...
Hey Clank. Sorry you're dealing with this stuff. I don't know your history and anxiety can most definitely cause MANY symptoms, but I agree with Mswowo - go to a neurologist. Not sure if your...
Hey Lennon. Like SC said... A LOT of people have mentioned Inception on this board. I think it should win a Freak Out award from the Anxiety Disorders Film Academy. :) I'm sure that's a real academy...
Hey BeautifullyTorn. I'm sorry to hear about all the obstacles you've had to contend with in your young life. I too grew up in an abusive setting/dysfunctional family. I'm male, so there are some...
I'm not sure why the blacking out while driving wasn't addressed in the responses. That is very serious. If this is happening you SHOULD NOT be driving until that is figured out. You're putting your...
Hey O.C. Like you said, that's a low dose of Xanax (I always try meds on a lower dose.. sometimes it's better than a higher or even regular dose for me anyway). Glad you were able to get that before...
Hey Oldecoloniste. I've been checking back on this post to see if you have responded. As you can see, you are not alone; and you hit on many topics that those with anxiety are currently dealing with...
Hey Oldecoloniste. I suffer from anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia and depression; and many of the wonderful friends that come along with A/PD and depression, etc. At the same time I'm dealing...
Hey Ming. I also happen to be in a particularly stressful period of my life; as well as suffereing from anxiety/panic and all of AP's close friends (hate those friends!). DP is one of the worst and...
