Our beloved Father in Heaven - the uncreated One, we ask you Lord in the name of Christ, Jesus - our precious Savior, Lord please surround Shell with your HEALING GRACE - give her the strength to...
Tyler - I most certainly think you are on the RIGHT track! Paying attention to your body and how you are reacting to different situations (as well as meds) is a big part of your fight to get over...
I don't really know for sure if this is neccesarily the same thing that you go through evolution, but I cannot deal with change of any sort. I am a 29 year old woman with PD. I cannot shop by myself...
Awww bless your heart. I totally agree with Maree though. This IS a chance for you to change your life for the better - see it as an opportunity. I know how scary it is (it is good to hear you're not...
I have rls ttwarrior but mine is at night. It is sometimes very hard to rest because of it. My legs actually hurt (deep in my bones is the way it feels) unless I move them, shake them, thump them. My...
jrebecc, I completely empathize with you. My main and most severe symptom of my PD is chest pain/heart palpitaions/shortness of breath. And it scares me each and everytime, no matter how hard I try...
Hey guys, I just thought I would start a new thread for POSITIVITY! Each day let's try to focus on at least ONE good thing that we have gained from our struggles! I am so grateful for the opportunity...
Yes Leah, PD has changed me alot and in many very significant ways. I like to look at it as positive though, as hard as this may be to do. First of all yes - I have had troubles with my husband as he...
Oh MsKittie, I am so sorry you are feeling bad. You should never feel the need to apologize to us - we love you and are blessed to have you here for us. We are here for you too! I feel like you're a...
So true Becc, BC has alot of side effects that we don't even think about . I was on several different types over a period of time when I was trying to get pregnant (odd I know but docs do use BC to...
Puppylove, I agree with hopeful - do you see a doc? It sounds to me like you really do need to have an anti - anxiety med (xanax, valium, ativan) to help you get through these episodes. I have panic...
I took mine in the morning and yes the first few weeks I had to adjust - I was fatigued and whatnot. But after the first month it helped me tremendously. I plan on getting back on it. It is great for...
Thx Sheri - I do take the stresstabs - B-12 complex and they most definitely help me too. And yes I know too when I don't take them. Thanks for the great info! Good luck to you in your fight! take...
That is a tough one Suzy. I do that too. I think it just is part of the disorder. Anxiety and depression are disorders that can take over ones life, IF THEY LET IT. I feel like we grow 'used' to the...
Lol - I see you're a reg member! So you already know how wonderful everyone here is. For some reason when I posted that last message I was thinking you were new. /community/emoticons/smile.gif Take...
Ya know I think that most all of us that suffer with A/P have a terrible tendency to notice every single thing that may be different about our bodies. Then the more we focus on something the more we...
I would suggest asking your psyche about lexapro - I would not take the prozac myself for anxiety. I have taken both before and had much better results with the lexapro. Congrats to you on your...
Thank you all so very much for all your support. I agree with all of you too I was just so upset. Well I do believe one of the other docs may have said something (in particular her husband) as she...
Just about every morning I wake that way Alwaysanxious. I have come to think that my mind just freaks out because it 'doesn't yet have a plan' for how to CONQUER the new day!...
I live in Boise, Idaho. Recently moved here from Colorado, before that Mississippi Gulf Coast. I really like Boise alot. It is a beautiful city and rated in the top 10 cities to live in by Forbes...
Sorry guys if the subject of my post threw anyone. I am just really upset today and need to vent and need a big hug! /community/emoticons/sad.gif I just recently moved and have been trying to find a...
Great post Chell! I soooo agree with Howlyn & Hopeful who both posted prior to me. Awhile back I was very depressed and had low self esteem in struggling with my panic attacks on a daily basis....
I experience this symptom as well, though a bit differently. When I begin panicking, say just a few minutes prior to a full blown attack I get tunnel vision - haziness that kind of closes in from the...
When you're driving down the road, trying so hard to breathe normally. You have the a/c on full blast and it is 30 degrees outside. When you finally have to pull over cause you feel you just have to...
Hey ming, I wanted to reply to your post though I don't know if I can help, just give you support. At times I have felt something similar to what you describe. Almost as if I am out of touch - like I...
((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))) for Cat! I know I am late in posting - sorry. I love you!!!! I hope all is well with you now - I am so sorry you are having tough times. I will be praying for you! God...
Hey warrior, I have this symptom too. And it is so hard to go to sleep. My heart races, then slows down, skips beats and sometimes feels like it literally 'jumps' up in my throat. I would definitely...
Hey hopeful. You will always have my prayers! And yes HW is absolutely wonderful for me and I feel God led me here as it is such a blessing for me. You can just get the over the counter dramamine. I...
Hey shell, I have the same problem. It is the worst symptom of my PD. Trying to focus on your breathing helps if you can do it. I find this almost impossible at times though. If you are not on...
Hey panic. This is just a thought. I myself have experienced the nausea thing too and for what seemed no reason. How is your diet? Has your anxiety caused it to change alot (as in not eating enough...
Find another doctor. That would be my suggestion. It may be tough as there are not many doctors who do prescribe the benzos anymore. But it is true they may see you as a risk for taking the xanax as...
Hey angela, I have pretty much went through that the others have. At the age of 22 I had my first panic attack. Not knowing what this was I had a family member take me to the ER, convinced I was...
Yes I get this same way - I visibly shake when my anxiety is at a higher level. At other times I just feel like my insides are jerking and it is alot similar to lack of eating or like your blood...
Kchicka, in answer to your last question, yes. My symptoms do tend to linger sometimes for days. I wanted to also reply to your original post. I do this same thing all the time. In fact the majority...
Chell, I am so sorry that you are struggling so much with this. I can completely understand what you are going through, as I myself have had MAJOR issues with my own family and them (siblings)...
Hi StoriesEnd - I cannot say I know exactly what you are going through, but I can say that I certainly have been as confused as you are now many times. The best advice that I can give you is that I...
Beautifully said Harry - absolutely awesome. I thank you so much for your advice you have given in the past and for caring enough to respond to my posts. Being a newbie I am rather apprehensive about...
Hi Shawn. I saw that no one has replied to your post as of yet. The only advice I can really give you is to find a good doctor and be completely honest with them. I went through the exact same thing,...
I am right there with everyone on this. I can sometimes tell when I may have an attack but I must say 90% of the time it just smacks me like hitting a brick wall. Most of the time when I am driving...
Conquer, I am very much so in agreement with the others. Jethro makes a very good point in first posting. There is a major difference between chronic anxiety and a panic attack. Some people may have...
Hey Mad - I really can't say much of anything different than what the others have said. I have experienced the same thing - and I do believe it is tension related as I get pain in my neck and...
Hey Cat - I am sorry to hear you're having the whole 'nightmare attacks' that is tough to deal with. I have had the same problem and seem to wake up in total anxiety - though never a full blown...
Thank you all so much for the advice - ya'll can't begin to know how much I appreciate it. I am working on getting these things done - finding a doctor and trying to settle myself calmly and happily...
NEVER EVER FORGET that you ARE NOT BY YOURSELF in this thing. Although many of us here suffer from different types of disorders we all have one thing in common: the need for support and...
Hi Tony - I can completely empathize with you and what you are going through. GET HELP. I would sugest seeing your regular doc (one you're comfortable with) and explaining ALL of your issues, don't...
Hello all. I am new here and am ever so grateful I found this site. I have panic disorder and have suffered with it for about 8 years. Off and on, most certainly when there are major changes in my...
