Kitt, My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are such and inspiring and uplifting person. Thank you for all that you do. One step at a time and we are ALL with you! Sorry, I can't be as eloquent...
Yes, yes, and yes. I have had major events in my life(and not so major events), that I have suppressed emotionally, until they explode.....and then the anxiety flows like lava from a volcano....
I think I am SLOWLY starting to accept a broad approach to my long time coming anxiety problem. Diet, (cutting my sugar, increased Omega 3s, more water, cutting down on refined foods), exercise,...
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm a shaking mess right now, but I know I will get through this. Good advice from all. I just have to hold onto the moment and then put the moments together. Thanks...
Hi All, I have come here from time to time the past few years for other conditions, but this anxiety has really got me by the tail right now. I am just in a state of almost chronic panic the last few...
Thanks for the clarification on the product!...
Hi la5ni, You are at the right spot. I have found the members here to be incredibly supportive, compassionate, and wise. The moderators are that and more. We understand what you are experiencing. It...
A prayer to you Soul. I know when I am alone I get a little jumpy. My mind races and I can feel the anxiety coming on, but you aren't alone. You can get through this. We are all here for you and I...
Migraines. I started with them at age 13 and I'm now 46 and they still sneak up on me. I understand the pain. A tip I learned years ago that helped ease me through the really bad pain during a...
I also take a .25mg Xanax as needed. In the past 2.5 months I have had MAJOR changes, for the better, but still have produced huge anxiety for me. I have taken a total of 4 pills in those 2.5 months...
BeRock, I sympathize with your condition. We all know the roller coaster ride our anxiety puts us through. Remember, a roller coaster eventually stops the up and down and you have that nice smooth...
equinox, Welcome to the board! Your sleep problems are common among us anxiety sufferers. I fight with this problem when I go through a difficult stretch (like right now). I have found that writing...
I also wondered about the product. I just don't trust the reviews on Amazon when it comes to a product that is so "personal" in nature. If it doesn't work as intended you really pay for it. In more...
Molly, We have all (many of us) been right where you are. It does not last forever. I and many others are living proof. We know the feelings. Scared, panicked, nervous, depressed, etc. It is like a...
Happy, I have been right where you are. What you are describing sounds almost like an exact script of what I went through. I had MS/ALS fear that absolutely froze me. I had to finally listen to the...
Thanks. I will check it out....
Joshua, Which CBT book are you reading? I was just curious as I am SLOWLY putting together positive steps tp help with my anxiety....
Yes, Say NO to Google. Google something that elicits a GOOD memory or a good FUTURE event. Focus on that. Do something/anything positive, even if it is for a minute to change your focus/mindset. Even...
Happy, I have done the MS obsession myself. The physical symptoms you described are extremely similar to what I went through. After finally going to 3-4 different doctors, one neurologist figured out...
Great post. Just what I needed. Very insightful and definitely positive. Thanks!! :-) :-)...
Nice post Larry. I'm going to cut and paste parts of your response. Things I need to practice....
bakomom, I'll second what lgm says. The "drink" for the colonoscopy mixed with orange Crystal Light will do the trick. I know what you mean about just having someone around. I am the same way....
I hear you. I have awful insomnia and my anxiety just keeps me up. I finally came to a conclusion that I will fall asleep when my body lets me. Sorry if that sounds simple minded and dismissive of...
JP, What I have found here is a tremendous amount of WISDOM from the members. The moderators here are flat out top notch. What you have described, in terms of your feelings and anxiety, is very...
