stkitt-so right. I have anticipatory anxiety-always thinking of the `what if scenarios`. Im a horror writer now-lol-and my mind can take a nice normal event and I start thinking catastrophically....
I so totally agree with everything stkitt said. Cant really add anything else, except I grew up with emotional and verbal abuse from my mom. I received a daily reminder that I was hated and it was...
Crap-first part of my response didnt get to you. I suffered a bad depression when I was near 16. Couldnt taste foodetc I didnt have anxiety and panic issues at the time-but they followed about 5 yrs...
om that. Yes. A much different one then when I was 16-but yes. How can someone not be depressed when we want to live a free life-a life free of all these horrible symptoms we suffer. Not a medical...
Hey there, I have worried and stressed about so many things that I just discovered. Its never ending at times. Not to make light of your situation but this cracked me up-I never forgot it. I am...
Though I am new to the board I have read a ton of posts and responses. This is the type of place that makes me feel safe-due in large part to the mods and their genuine caring for anyone that comes...

I have heard so many stories about where are anxiety comes from, but one that stood out for me is that we may have a chemical imbalance. Anyone know if thats true and can expand on that. Thanks....
Well- I love your attitude. Though I know better-I was told I will have agoraphobia and panic etc for the rest of my life. I do not believe that, nor do I believe its all in our heads. I am new...
I can so relate to you. Along with PTSD, agoraphobia and severe anxiety I have been trying to make baby steps lately but I keep getting in my own way with the catastrophic thoughts. Its a hard road...
Hi hopeful. I just joined myself. I haven't experienced your symptom of the hot flash-burning. Must be terribly frightening. I have trouble swallowing, breathing etc, although my palpitations stopped...
Thank you all for your responses. Much appreciated. Scaredy Cat-Thank you-I totally agree with you about the control issue.I have been in therapy twice for 6 months at a time due to PTSD. I hate...
and our belief systems. In my case-I suddenly became afraid of the world. Really embarrassing for me to say that as I was in the militia, climbed and rappelled mountains, etc. Then something just...
