Hi everyone,
My name is Lauren. I have had anxiety pretty much since I was little but did not notice the major side effects till about 2007, aka panic attacks, racing heart, irrational thoughts, etc. I have had my ups and downs with my anxiety but lately feel like I have had more downs so I figured why not try something new and see what happens.

Hi Lauren
My name is David, im new to this site. Ive been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for 8yrs now with no luck i have no one to talk to because no oe understands what im going through. i just started taking this All Ntural drug called Tranquilene its my 10th day taking it and so far i cant tell if its working, but i'll keep trying it. i did try Seredyn but it didnt work for me, I have most if not all my panic attacks in the car so i dont get out much. I thought i was all alone, i glad i found someone i can relate to and can relate too me.

My anxiety is for sure up and down. When I am up I like to forget I have anxiety and continue on with my life. When I am down--I am down though. I need to work on becoming friends with my anxiety and not fighting with it. I don't have the heart racing or shortness of breath--I cry. They think its because my dad was killed when I was 7 years old, but who knows. Its embarrassing and have been made fun of it for my whole life. I am on meds but didn't really get diagnosed until about 4 years ago. Right now I am in a down because I graduated college in May and I have a job. I received a verbal warning yesterday for e-mailing my co-workers (i didn't know I wasn't suppose to do that other wise I wouldn't have been). Now I feel like a failure, that I can't take criticism, I never will be able to function in society, ect. I have the irrational thoughts for sure. My counselor keeps telling me to stop trying to predict the future, but its HARD! My mom doesn't understand it and just tries to make me mad and thinks I will be mad enough to just do what I need to do. I have a marketing and management degree and I am second guessing that. Maybe I should be a nurse or a job where emotion can be used. I am having an argument with myself right here in this post. Any suggestions would be great :)
