Hey all, the last time I wrote I was nearing the end if my pregnancy and was afraid of how I'd cope when the baby arrived. Well, she's here and I am 5 days postpartum. It's been rough since being...
Haven't been here in a while, anxiety comes and goes and I try my best to manage it on my own. Of course with a baby that could be born at any minute it's a bit of a game changer. I'm 38.5 weeks...
I'm 28 weeks pregnant with a baby girl, her name is Clara. Thank you all for the well wishes!...
I've got just under 2 months left until I leave my job to have my baby, and things at work are just ridiculously stressful. My employees are quitting left and right and it leaves me to cover all the...
I know how you feel, except I'm the pregnant one! There's a reason we get 9 months to prepare, we have to get used to the idea. I'm 7 weeks along and I'm just now starting to accept it. It took me...
I keep thinking that I regret not trying to prevent this pregnancy, and I'm also a little angry that my bf didn't try to prevent it either. What were we thinking? I know what he was thinking, he's 35...
What worries me the most is that I'll have postpartum depression and will be an unfit mother. My mate and I have only been dating a couple of months, although I've known him for years. 2 months ago I...
Thank you! I'm 5 weeks, it's only taken me a week to come crawling back haha. I have reached out to a prenatal therapist and have an appointment on Monday. It comes and goes with my hormones, but...
Why am I back?! Well, I'm pregnant. I haven't been on here for a while, I was doing really well with my anxiety and then BAM, an unplanned pregnancy puts me back into the pits. In a way, I think my...
Hello again old friends, I'm back for some much needed advice and support. I've been doing exceptionally well with my anxiety the past few months, but have recently been reacquainted with my old...
Don't ever lose hope, no matter how you feel. It was always nice to read success stories, it was a great comfort to me personally. You don't really come across them too often because when someone...
Hello again friends! I just wanted to pop in for a moment to tell you that I no longer consider myself as struggling with anxiety, and it's wonderful! I have to thank you all for being here in my...
I actually did get it and try it, and it gave me a lot of unwanted energy. I was also sensitive to caffeine, so energy supplements didn't do me much good. I think confianza would be better for...
This will be my last post, as I am moving on in my life and rather than focusing on anxiety, I have decided to focus on my health and fitness. Whenever I feel anxious at home, I've been going to the...
I just wanted to take a moment to share my anxiety experience in hopes that maybe someone is experiencing the same, and to open the door to get to know each other. This in particular is the past year...
All is good in the hood!...
New therapists are like a blind date haha. I woke up and came to work feeling like a walking daydream, but as usual that has subsided. It's so cold and snowy here that I wouldn't get out of bed!...
Yes I stay home all day when I'm not at work. It's easy in the winter to find an excuse not to get out of bed! But when it was a bit nicer out I find that just walking outside was a good way to ease...
Happy to hear you're headed in the right direction hibee! Sister, I'm glad to hear you are trying other things for recovery and you're finding what works for you! I went to a new therapist yesterday,...
Went to the doctor today to get blood drawn, I was SO anxious. The worst part is waiting a half hour for the doctor to come in, I thought for sure I was going to run out of there screaming. But I...
Some people say that the cream isn't potent enough to make a difference, I'll ask my doctor about it tomorrow and let everyone know!...
I went through this too. Coffee and redbull were my go to, I quit cold turkey and yes I was always tired! I've been able to work a little caffeine back into my life, I usually have a coffee 1/3...
Me too!...
I've got an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to test my levels and thyroid function, thyroid problems run on my mother's side so it's definitely worth checking out. Hoping for quick results, not...
Hello fellow ladies of anxiety, I'm in the process of finding my magic cocktail of vitamins/supplements in hopes of finding the root cause of my personal anxiety. I haven't had the best diet, I don't...
It's definitely the fact that I'm in an unfamiliar place in very close quarters with all of my bosses. I like having an escape route, and it's hard to escape when you're in a meeting, especially in a...
Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to look at it as a free meal rather than being trapped with my bosses. We'll see which thought is most powerful....
I work in a restaurant, and as a manager I am required to attend weekly meetings. Which is fine! We meet at the restaurant and talk for a few hours then we go about our days. But now, they want to...
Feeling okay today! We had a huge winter storm yesterday and now the sun is shining so I am the happiest girl in all of Chicago. :D...
http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Have-Depersonalization-Disorder/1588225 I came across this today in my usual Google search for peace of mind. I've been a little obsessed with reading success...
I had my tonsils out when I was 14, my sister was 7 and we did it at the same time. Neither of us were scared at all! Probably because we knew we'd get all the popsicles and ice cream we wanted and...
I'm in the process of changing therapists so it's going to be a little strange confiding in someone else. It's a man instead of a woman, which may or may not help matters. And it's further away in an...
Had a panic attack during therapy? Lately I've been very panicky during my sessions and sometimes start to feel panic but I ignore it and try to think of something else. I'm afraid that one of these...
Having a rough week. I'm trying to set up an appointment with a different therapist, one that is more experienced with depersonalization and existential anxiety. Hopefully it's the change I need to...
Rough couple of days with anxiety and getting feelings of dp. I'm almost positive it's a mixture of PMS and thinking obsessively about this vacation I'm planning. But I was doing great for about a...
You might not be getting a lot of responses because this is the anxiety forum, and I'm sure not a lot of us have advice to share with you. You might find more help in an ADD/Depression forum. But...
Wonderful! I'm on top of the world...
Thank you! I am so very blessed to have gone through this experience and come out the other side with a new perspective on life. Life after anxiety really has a way of making you motivated to get...
She really makes me feel good about myself, which is such an important part of recovery that I didn't have before I started seeing her...
Dp is gone!! I am totally myself again and it is wonderful! I just have anxiety now when enclosed in a space that I can't escape, like elevators and trains. It's a work in progress, I don't panic...
Thank you! I'm talking with a travel agent so at least everything will be done right and I don't have to stress about it. I'll be meeting up with a group for a guided tour throughout my vacation so I...
Soooo I'm planning a trip to Europe! I've come so far in my recovery and it's time to do something I've always wanted to do despite my anxiety. That means sucking it up for an 8 hour flight and being...
I've had a lot of caffeine today, and that's exactly what I feel like! Learning to channel the anxiety into a positive energy, and at least if I have caffeine I am prepared for it....
It's a beautiful day to be alive!...
Yes this is very normal! Take it as a sign of recovery, because if you think about it, you probably didn't use to have as many good days as you do now even with the bad days. Your brain is changing,...
Yes I always feel so welcome here to spill my guts and not be judged. Wishing you all a happy and well 2015, let's make it a year of bravery!...
Mine is to let go of everything that puts me in a mood other than positivity. I have a terrible habit of letting everything get to me and tend to take things personally. Hopefully this is a...
A bit anxious today because our restaurant is going to be PACKED tonight. Wouldn't be too bad, expect the worst hope for the best....
Busy in the restaurant world getting ready for New Year's festivities. I'll be so relieved when it's over!...
Good day, positive thoughts and stuff ;)...
