I get a burning tongue, mine almost feels like i've eaten or had something hot to drink and it burned my tongue. Even though I hadn't. I noticed as well that it goes away when I stop thinking about...
oh what fun it is to feel naseous (sp?) every day hey ! :-)...
Thanks Lyn and Harry, I am trying to look into my insurance to see what they cover. I'm a little scared about going through with it, but like you said lyn, what do I have to lose? I definitely don't...
I was just diagnosed with PTSD, and every day is a struggle. I am supposed to be starting a new therapy that involves something with eye movements, but I need to find a therapist that does it. My...
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has been in an outpatient program for anxiety/depression, and if so how was it for you? My therapist recommended this to me as a possible option in helping...
Thanks Harry and Shell, I tried the paxil only for a few weeks, it made me completely numb to everything, so the doc took me off. I was ok for over a year. And then, things just started going...
Hi everyone, Well I ended up at the docs yesterday because of my anxiety turned bad depression. It's been really horrible lately. I haven't been on meds in a long time, and last one I took was Paxil....
Hi there, I was diagnosed with PCOS a few month back . I went through a few times where I didn't have a period for 2 months at a time, then it eventually went to 4 or more. I was put back on my birth...
Hi there, I think that it is great you got through and persevered for the 10 years. I started having panic attacks over a year ago, and had a handle on them for over a year. I had them for about 4...
I think that it's great that you are accepting your anxiety. It really is a good way to cope. That is what I have been trying to do, and it's hard, but it can be done. I don't think there is anything...
hey there, you should probably talk to your doctor about your medications. I read somewhere once that sometimes birth control can cause panic attacks in some people due to the progestersone causing...
Hi there and welcome to healing well. This is a wonderful place for support. I too get that fear of going crazy, but it usually accompanies my panic attacks, or at least a big bought of anxious...

I am very sorry to hear that this happened to you. Like the others said, we are here for you. Please take care...
THanks for the post and as lyn said, kudos. I definitely know that my perception of things is what makes my anxiety. I do the same thing everyday, and coming from someone who has been working...
I think that is great Harry! Thanks for sharing, it is a definite lift to hear that someone has done this. Again kudos to you!...
Hi Rhonda, I get heart palps, but most of the time just some fluttering and flipity flops that occur once or twice and that's it. I actually had a really bad heart palp earlier, I had a brief flip...
It sounds to me that you've made a breathrough for yourself and wanted to share it with us? If that's the case, congrats and thanks for sharing. I know for myself the only way for me to get through...
I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through. I know sometimes life just seems like it throws so much at us at one time. You will get through it, just try to remain as positive as possible,...
Hey Twiggygal, The one thing I have found that has been helping me is giving myself credit and praise, even for the smallest things that I do. For example, If I can drive to work and be calm in the...
Hi Suzy, It's great that your blood work came back fine. I went to the doc today because my blood pressure has been high and she wanted to recheck it, I was hoping that would explain my dizziness the...
Thanks for the reply, I actually did have an attack two days ago, and I felt like I did pretty good with it in the car. I did distract myself with music while sitting in traffic, so that was fun. And...
My depression is a by product of my anxiety. It seems like whenever I feel anxious i'm not depressed and whenever I'm feeling depressed I'm not anxious. It's a viscious cycle. Have you tried any...
welcome to healingwell. This is truly a great place for support. The people are great here, and the moderators are excellent. I'm glad that the beta blockers are helping you. I just took one myself...
I think it's a great accomplishment that you went 5 weeks without any xanax after taking it for so long. Did you taper off of it or just quit cold turkey? I definitely think you should talk with your...
Hi Freezing, yes please flush the Jack. I know you are going through some rough times right now, I am sure all will turn out for the best. Last year my grandmother had 3 stents and a balloon put in...
thanks for the replies. I haven't ever passed out, but always afraid of. Used to have low blood pressure when I stood which caused me to black out momentarily, never to the point of passing out. I...
I have the fear of panic so bad that I get afraid that I will pass out while driving. That fear leads me to feel panic and anxious. I know that I start it myself but it's difficult to bring myself...
I have to say the same, I get nothing out of my anxiety except for a plethora of symptoms. I also know that I limit myself as to things I could accomplish. THanks for sharing with us the website....
I definitely agree that the mornings are worse. I think it's because we work ourselves up anticipating what might happen during the day, and as the day progresses and we see that what we were...
I do that all the time, I think sometimes when we get really anxious and we may not even know why, we tend to be thinking about whatever else, and not about what we are doing. It's almost like when...
That is great to hear! I am very happy for you, it takes some time, but you will see even more improvements as time goes by, that's great that you are sleeping better :)...
Hi, Welcome to healingwell, this is a great place and you'll find a lot of support here. *in answer to your questions, I do usually get a panic attack after a stressful situation, but from all my...

I write, poetry mostly. I like to sing, or do different things with my hair. I have this thing for changing my hair a million different times. It makes me feel good....
Hi kenny, Welcome to healingwell. I usually get tension headaches when I'm really stressed out or when my anxiety is on a rampage. I also get migraines, but those are usually caused by other triggers...
I agree with you ajhuk, like you said it depends on where our panic and anxiety come from. Also it does become somewhat of a habit. There are tons of theories and research that are continually being...
I am sorry to hear you are feelig this way. I had a set back myself today, was doing really well for almost 2 weeks, I worry alot about everything as well. We just have to keep chugging through life,...
I definitely agree leigh ann, it's hard to say how long panic disorder will last. Everyone is different. I know for myself that my main problem is that I am impatient and give up really easily....
Hi kreak, My symptoms ended up eventually just being a panic attack. I started to become completely freaked out every day because I was afraid of what was going to happen. Until I found out that they...
When I had my first panic attack, the docs thought I had a mini stroke, or a TIA (what they called it) After many tests and many weeks of going back and forth to docs, and numerous other "episodes" ,...
My biggest fear is passing out while driving. I guess I could pull over when I feel the panic, but I just keep on driving and then let it get the worst point....
are you sure it was a seizure. It sounds similar to when I had my first panic attack. Doctors thought I had a mini stroke. I would always be scared it would happen again. I questioned my doctor about...
There are many different methods of helping your anxiety. The ones you named are quite a bit. I think that helping your panic and anxiety takes a lot of work, and what Ive noticed in me is that I am...
It does make you feel weird, it's almost like your brain checks out sometimes. I think it could be a way for our minds to take a break, almost like daydreaming about nothing. I notice I feel dizzy on...
conrats on your progress and acheivements! That's really great. I had a horrible panic attack last week, and was afraid to work, but I made it through a whole week. It truly is mind over mind. lol...

I have low blood pressure as well and I take toprol whenever my heart is racing. I take it as needed and it really does calm me. SHe should check with her doc if she's concerned that this will effect...
Hi everyone, I've been doing a lot of thinking about why my axniety is on a rampage, and my panic has been the worst every. I had been tracking my panic and seeing if I could find a pattern in why...
