More detail would be helpful, like what makes you angry? For example, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and a big "do it yourselfer" . So when people mess things up that I know I could have done right,...

Do you have an example? I only ask because i sometimes experience similar feelings, but it almost always has to do with people.

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted on here for a long time. I'll just start by saying that my anxiety has greatly reduced compared to when I first joined the forum. This is in part because I began...

I am truly happy that you got something out of this. I find that helping others tends to help me feel better about myself, and this instance is no exception. Your advice and story is very helpful. ...

I had my meeting yesterday morning. If last week was a 8-9, this week was a 6-7. I did wake up that morning telling myself to expect a little less and not put so much pressure on myself. I think I...

I'm wondering if anyone has anxiety over all the hype that the world is going to end this December. Personally, I've been calling BS since I heard about it. But for some reason I always have these...

Yesterday I was supposed to golf with some coworkers. Instead, I told them I couldn't go, went home after work and smoked, and played video games and watched tv all day. I have a load of laundry in...

I too have thoughts like these when I go to places like Wal Mart or the Mall, etc. I don't so much get into what people there might be thinking, but more of just the fact that i feel like I'm being...

Hello Fallen,

You remind me a lot of my mother. She is 40 with 2 children to take care of, ages 5 and 7 - not counting myself, since I'm out of the house. Her husband, my stepdad, had affairs...

Thanks for the input guys. What you say makes sense - it really does. I think next Monday I'll try to go into the meeting with a different mentality. I usually start every Monday dreading the...

I'm pretty curious about this, as well. If they could make me like the movie "Office Space" where I can just stop worrying about things, I'm there!

Every Monday at work we have a meeting first thing in the morning. Our company values everyone being on the same page and staying current on the issues in the industry, so we meet to discuss our...

Thanks for the input guys. I started taking it 5 days ago - no placebo effect yet, so I'll let you all know what kind of changes I see when it takes effect.

Hey guys,

After battling anxiety for a few years unaided I finally mustered up the motivation to see a doctor yesterday. He prescribed me the drug Zoloft, which I've seen many people mention...

It may sound odd, but I got a haircut last week - and felt more confident than I've felt in months.

I used to be in great shape a few years ago, but now I guess you could say I'm just average. ...

"My mind instantly says "go to the doctor and get medicine!" But I don't want to take that route."

I know how you feel. I've been suffering from anxiety for years now, and it's gotten especially...

Sometimes I feel like a wild animal, as weird as that sounds. You know how there's those skiddish-type animals, like cats and rodents, etc. You know how it seems like they hear every noise around...

Well the thing is, I don't always feel paranoid and uncomfortable when smoking - only when I'm around other people. And even then, If I'm around someone I'm comfortable with when smoking it's a...

Hey buddy, I can relate. It stems back to high school for me. I was a lady killer then haha. But seriously though, I really was good with the ladies - to the point where I got the "manwhore"...

For reasons I'll let remain unknown, I wasn't able to smoke marijuana from about November 2011 until about February of 2012. Through that period of time, I found myself bored more often - but a...

It wasn't as bad as i thought it might be... But I did notice a good bit of anxiety at times. I just hate when there are conversations that I can't contribute to. Makes me feel like an outcast...

Willpower is a hard thing to find, I know. Some people are blessed with tons of it. I find that the best way to get motivated is to think of the outcome of each situation. Example: If you don't...

I'll be going back to my hometown to celebrate St. Patty's with some old high school friends. We haven't all hung out in about 5 or 6 years. In high school, I was a different person. I've changed...

High school is a tough time in life, as you are already learning. Anxiety is tough enough, add the pressures of high school and I can see why you are distressed. I suffer with some of the same...

Suicide is not an option. Think about how much you mean to the people in your life and how hurt they would be if you weren't with them anymore. I have the same problem as you, feeling as if I'm...
