I just knew from the title itself <3 I miss Rachael a lot, I didn't manage to contact her lately really, and to be honest feeling guilty. Had lots on my plate. But as far as I know, she has quite...
Hi, I am trying to focus on the illustration I need to do at work and trying some new computer games. I hope I have the energy to do some house chores this week. Planning to buy more cat toys for my...
I put it in my coffee in the morning a couple of times, and my stomach didn't like it. I think that can be considered straight out of the jar. I use to cook food with it then that's usually no...
Hey there, Something similar actually happened to me. It caused a quick bout of reflux for some reason and then my throat got irritated. The same thing happened with mayonnaise also once. Sometimes...
Yes, I went to the dr today for this needle stinging sensation on my extremities. He says he is not suspecting a serious ailment. Instead, he wanted some blood tests to make sure it's not blood...
I really do that too from time to time. But please don't torture yourself for it. Every human being does that. It's just some do it and never think about it again but some ruminate. One of the drs I...
Thanks, Hibee, I really don't know if it magnified itself because I am paying attention to it or it was there so that I noticed it. I am having a hard time just believing that it's anxiety and wait....
I know how you feel really as I am right now waiting for my kidney function blood tests to come back. Can cause a great deal of distress even though most likely you are totally fine. I think you are...
Hi all, I am wondering if any of you are experiencing that pin pricking sensation all over your body? I am not talking about needles and pins which happens after you get blood circulation or nerve...
Hi TMO, Yeah I think it is the anxious brain that still makes you focus on your leg and even though you know that it got better, you may still feel slight sensations there because you are focusing on...
Grats HT, I am sure it will look beautiful :)...
Hmm, I can understand it can be very frustrating, I am not diagnosed with OCD either but as in terms of health anxiety I have my own rituals, false beliefs, intrusive thoughts, etc. When persistent...
Hi Turtle, Did you move recently? (haven't been checking the forums lately, my bad) Are you happy with your new place? It can be tiresome but sort of fun at the same time. Good luck!...
Nice to hear that you guys had fresh air and enjoyed nature. I have been mostly at home for almost the whole month because the company is in a summer/corona break. Now I am anxious, because of...
If your Dr said that they are harmless then trust their words :) We can easily have obsessive thoughts even after we get the reassurance we need. So I suggest don't think about it anymore (easy for...
Hi Hector and welcome, Oh I second Karen, that book is a walking CBT. Well not that books walk, but. It is an amazing read and really encourages you to do all of those practices to learn about your...
Please do ask your dr about those dots and update us. Meanwhile, I really don't think it's a sinister issue....
Hey Backtome, It's worth waiting for a couple of weeks. SSRIs usually show their full benefits after 2 months or so. But you can always change your meds if you think it is not working for you. In my...
Thanks Hibee, Yes, the Dr warned me about the possibility so I am prepared. And to be honest, as long as I know what the cause is I really don't focus on that much. Mike, I know a couple of people...
Karen thank you, Yes, they look dried and with scabs, just like healing scars. Showed it to dr today online and they also think they look good. They told me to wait and meanwhile clean the area...
Hibee, I am glad you had such nice time with your brother and got to meet them finally. Karen, I dislike hot weather myself so I am feeling happy for you :) enjoy it. Today when I talked to my mom I...
I suggest you contact another dr if you really are not bothered by having a check-up and ask them everything in your mind. I think in your case some tests may give reassurance. You absolutely need to...
Hi Nilanol and welcome I can totally relate to how you feel because my thought patterns are pretty much the same and I struggle with health anxiety. I had a cherry angioma on my scalp and when I...
thanks all and Hibee well actually I am very much anxious now because one of my nurse friends who I talk on the internet learned I got shingles and said that it can be quite dangerous. Which put me...
Hi all, I am recovering from the shingles problem I had for the last two weeks. I find it funny now because I have a tendency of avoiding checking unlike many others with anxiety issues. It is...
Hi there, I assume you already tried the therapy and medication options? Discussed your situation with a professional? If not, there are many ways to overcome panic disorder. Therapy (either talk...
Hi there, I am not a relationship expert myself but I have been reading a lot about thoughts and especially self-destructive ones. I can give a little advice, maybe can you practice not paying too...
Hey, Did you discuss your worries with your doctor? Maybe they can give a bit of advice. When you start your new medication try not to focus on how you are feeling in your body. Do your best to focus...
Hey Polilla, Welcome I really suggest not trying to ignore your thoughts because simply, you can't do that. The more you try to do that the more you are gonna think. Instead, how about acknowledging...
Thanks, Hibee, yeah I started using the antiviral medication they gave me, 20 tablets in 10 days and they said in 10-12 days it will be fine. I have had chickenpox twice, believe it or not. I think...
Thanks Karen and yes, they are sort of drying I guess. But the color is what's making me worried. If it was only red like blisters I saw previously this morning, I would be OK with waiting to see if...
Hi all, I usually don't like to use the forums to get reassurance and this is against my CBT practice but I am sort of quite panicky now. I got very sweaty for 4-5 days ago when I sat on my computer...
Thank you Karen and Trina, yes I see your point really. I decided to cut ties with them actually this week. I think it may help me with this radical acceptance I am working on. But it is really hard,...
Hia all, it's been some time Karen I am glad to hear your dog Luna is getting well. I have been a little emotional mess for the last week as I noticed that I never moved on since my divorce because...
Hiya and welcome back ^^ Yeah I agree with Hibee, it shouldn't be a problem with generic, as the ingredients are the same. I used Sertraline in both brand and generic and I had same worries but I...
Yes! I am so glad that you are willing to feel better and you sure are on the right path :) Keep an eye on your vitamin B and D levels also. They have big impact on anxiety and depression. Well...
Hello Rwerin, welcome! I can totally relate what you have been going through and I can tell you this much that Panic Disorder is very much manageable. Well at the same time I am going to be honest...
Sounds like a nerve problem to me really, probably you did something and don't remember? Or just because your son slept on you? You know nerves are like a huge network, even though the place your son...
You know, having anxiety about it made me post it here xD sorry for the long post Last two years in around September I have had this very strange headache or face pain on left side of my head, Both...
Thanks a lot Trina <3...
I am not doing very well this week to be honest but mostly because of I can't make that one life changing decision Because it gives me anxiety and there are many uncertainties related to it. Also my...
Yeah a very deep cut in my palm because I tripped and fell while holding an empty glass bottle. After around 30 years my third and fourth fingers are still sort of numb. True it's useful, using both...
Ow Blue, sorry to hear :O must have hurt a lot :( But it's healing now, you don't need to do much. And don't worry about infection as they cared about your wound in ER, I mean there is no reason for...
Thank you very much all Blu, yes I considered the allergies possibility though I only have post nasal drip, burning throat and usually very dry feeling inside the nose. I also believe this may go...
Thanks Topo and Tim, Tim, I am wearing them because I listen to music on computer and I do play games sometimes. Those give very good quality sound. Also when walking I listen to music, with similar...
Hi HW friends, I have been trying to resolve this worry without any type of reassurance for a couple of days now but I think it's taking over now. So here I am :) I started having this dull...
Hi there and Grats! I doubt it is something to worry about, but since you are pregnant, maybe hormone related? I suggest asking your Dr anyway, just for assurance :) Good luck and update us...
Yes Karen and Blu, I sometimes think if it's an issue of, I don't want to put it this way but, an addiction of worry? Because there were many occasions for me that the worry didn't ease until I found...
I was relatively calm and very little amount of depressive mood. I am trying to do my worksheets everyday and still reading Feeling Good. So I am hoping to get better at catching the unwanted...
Dear Blu, I totally understand how you are thinking. I've been there and my slightly out of range test result was something liver/pancreas related... imagine how anxious I became over that. xD...
