Hello JC... So nice to meet ya! I can't say that I have experienced burning skin per say but when my anxiety is high my face gets red and hot. I am assuming it's my blood pressure rising.... But you...

My natural high anxiety and depressed state of mind made me attain drug seeking behavior to self medicate. I was so anxious and depressed, I started experimenting with any drug I could get my hands...
Hey friend! Long time, no hear! Glad to hear from you! I too, have re-read that "controversial topic" post (awhile back). It was so impressive to see how far you have come. You have it so much...
TMA I haven't been able to come on here much as of lately. I am literally putting in 14 hour days. We moved offices and I am trying to get some of our operation and processes in place and fine-tuned....
Coffee - I have got that same thing!!!! I just loaded the "medicine box" with the wrong medication! I won't make that mistake again! Hugs Cornell...
Wolverine You're doing just fine... Hang in there my friend! It is very common for your anxiety to heighten when starting or increasing the dose of an SSRI. You can get through this... Keep us...

Rick Great input and great post. Not too much to say other than to say "thank you" for sharing your perspective! Happy healing Cornell...

GMoon I read your post and this literally could have been me writing this a few months ago! I had almost 30 ER visits during the summer and each time I felt like they were missing something. When I...
Greetings Jesse-Lee! I was just reading through everyone's responses and I realized just how lucky (and blessed) I am to be among all these wonderful people. I never knew the meaning of true support...

JF my friend! So glad to hear from you (despite the circumstances)! So hmm... You went from a brain tumor to esophagus cancer? A little progress (I think)! ; ) Everyone experiences the throat...
Good responses! Crying can be therapeutic... I wish I could cry. I know I would be able to "release" some negative emotions I have been carrying around. Have you been able to really study and examine...
And the slang, gangsta style writing... And then the long gibberish post! Wow! I have got to get my meds right! This has proven to be difficult for me as I already have a history of drug/ abuse and...

LOL. I hear ya, CT! If you change your SN, you should be fine! Even if anyone who does read it there should be NO way at all to tell if that's you! They could say "hmmm ... It sounds like so and so"...
Something else you may want to consider... If you told anyone your screen name (and I am assuming you did or you wouldn't be worried), you can just simply change it (screen name) so you can get back...
Hey SC! Thanks for responding! I don't think anyone noticed my slurring or at least I don't think. This was my perception - it was an unusual feeling trying to form my words......
Park - thanks so much for starting this thread... I am just reading through it. It has made me realize that the Holidays can be a very trying time for someone with anxiety. I am already starting to...
