these days i'm into Ratatat, Four Tet, Pawa up first. It's instrumental mixed with electronic, with a melody....
Wow! Thanks for the cheers and support! Best wishes to all those who want to quit! It's hard at first, but all worth it in the end!...
Well it's been 4 weeks now since i quit without help, and i feel great! Like a new guy! It wasnt like that in the first 2 weeks though...Had a lot of trouble concentrating, socializing, felt...
Not eating, for anyone, is a cause of stress, drowsiness, mental and physical fatigue. Anyone who's been in class and skipped meals that day knows that the mental won't work when hungry. First I'd...
I also think anxiety can cause mini-hallucinations. Even people without anxiety can see it. Lack of sleep can also cause this. Happens to me sometimes, like when I watch a floor, or a ceiling with...
Hi, havent posted for a while... It's summer time, time for change. I've been smoking for a while, quit a number of times, started more times than I've quit...I'd like to go at it again, hopefully...
For me it feels like my brain is vibrating. Usually happens during the night when I get half awake and confused....
Hi, it's nice to read about all of you. Here it goes. I'm a 25 year old guy from the province of Quebec, Canada. I'm an independant video/multimedia artist. That means I'm poor most of the time but...
You say "I been sittin here for 3 days"... Rolling over and over in bad thoughts won't get you anywhere. Talk about it to someone close, or to the medical staff. You are not alone going through this....
I guess if panic comes from a situation where we feel vulnerable, the best way to get over it is by learning from doing what we fear... I think someone's who's afraid of swimming has to swim some...
Your story is really encouraging. I'm glad to see you are working your way back up. You seem so positive that it is sure to last. Keep the spirits up and keep on enjoying life, Isn't that the only...
To be schizophrenic you have to hear voices, and i'm not talking voices like thoughts, but voices as clear as you can hear music. And seeing things that are not real. Panic and anxiety gives the...
Chickensoup, I think you might've found my problem. I felt really great today, even though I didn't take my meds...and all I ate was salad. My anxiety began kicking in 2 month ago, some time after I...
Sorry about your job Victoria... You should be proud of yourself though, not many people have the courage of confronting their boss. I'm sure you will find a better job with a better boss!...
Yes it's possible to wash off anxiety without meds. But I think you need a favorable environment (is favorable a word in english?). Anyway I've been on ativan for a week now. The first couple of days...
I get something that might be like you're describing here. Sometimes I see like little sparks, or something that looks like a pixel in thin air. Most of the time it white/blue, but it can be other...
Has anyone noticed if eating regularly only good stuff, lots of vitamins, alcohol drug cigarette free lifestyle, and lots of exercise, good sleep, helped chase anxiety off? Can it replace medication?...
I don't claim I have the solution to your problem, but from my experience, I once had a boss who got really pissed at a fellow employee talked like the employee was a piece of trashed. So that pissed...
The doc gave me some Ativan (which is how we call it in french, maybe it's the same in english), it works on anxiety, and I think people usually take this when they have insomnia. I seem to be going...
Hang on in there, "trying to get better". For me derealisation occurs gradually during the day, getting to it's climax in the evening. For me it starts when I start questioning and doubting in...
Wow. It's amazing how within 24hours you can feel like life is the real hell, and then later feel back like your normal self again. I started this thread at about the same time yesterday, thinking I...
I've talked about the subjects causing my anxiety with my friends, and for a while it calms me down. But I feel like the derealisatio n will eventually come back. I don't know about therapy. I pretty...
Is there medecine made especially for derealisation? When I wake up in the morning I feel pretty relaxed, but my first thoughts are about if this world is real or not. During the first hour I can...
This may seem like I've been on hardcore drugs, or I'm psychotic or schizo, but it isn't. I've been pretty much the rational guy all my life. But for a while I've been building anxiety or something...
Thanks for the link Howlyncat, but it links to some sort of spam site. Although I found this link on google that looks like what you're taking about: http://moodgym.anu.edu.au/...
Thank you for the welcome Howlyncat. I havent been through any therapy yet. There's always this fear of "what if it doesnt work, then I'm stuck". For now I'm trying to change my mind, do stuff even...
My first post. Glad I found this place, aleready feel like I'm getting better just knowing that I'm not the only one going thinking he's going nuts. I used to get panic attacks and anxiety while...
