It's been a while. More health anxiety... my heart this time. Started back on my Zoloft again-miserable side effects. Ya'll know the drill... lol

Just trying to push through it, but figured I'd...

But I firmly believe everything we've been through in our lives, all the shit that has been thrown our way, we survived. We're stronger for it. It just sucks that our brains feel the need to...

Oh wow. You should be so proud though getting out of that bad situation. Too many women don't do it... it took my mom a long time to leave my dad and to leave her boyfriend too. I am so thankful...

Oh, wouldn't it be a dream if all anxieties slipped away with age?

I'm 30--and have had panic attacks on and off for about 6 years. I've had obsessions since I was young though-- I can't even...

Forgive this, I just need to...I don't know, sort through some things. It helps to type them out, and it helps more if other people can relate. I'm a long time user here on the forums, but I've...

I'm on blood pressure meds and have been since I had my daughter 9 years ago. I also take zoloft, ativan and a birth control pill. My anxiety spikes my blood pressure incredibly, but with taking my...

I didn't get so far as to begin hyperventilating. I did however start pacing the room, and began with my shakes and sense of overwhelming fear. It's just... ugh.... I was feeling SO much better. ...

For the past few weeks, I've been helping to care for my husband who went to the ER a few weeks ago with appendicitis. His surgery had some complications, but now he is home and healing.

I made...

Congratulations! How are you all doing? Mommy, baby and you?

Heh, I've actually been doing pretty well in the last few weeks. I haven't had a full blown panic attack in about three weeks now, and my anxiety levels are...well... I feel like the normal me...

Think of all the progress you've made. You're climbing up a ladder.... trying your hardest to reach the top. Just because you had a bad night and fell down one step of the ladder doesn't mean...

All of a sudden a thought will pop into my head. Rational fear, irrational fear, it doesn't matter. If I don't do something to stop it, then full blown anxiety, and eventually panic occurs.

I...

Oh! That's fantastic! You should be so proud of yourself. Take the time to celebrate this accomplishment. I know it sounds cheesy, but do IT! We don't tell ourselves "good job" nearly enough.

This is my 4th week of being on it and after about a week and half of absolutely terrible side effects, I seem to be doing well. I've not had a full blown panic attack in about 2 weeks, no more side...

Ya know, my most recent bout of anxiety and panic started right about my time too. I'm sure the hormones didn't help the fact that my husband and I are in some pretty dire financial issues right...

Space herpes. My worst fear. XDDD

Made me chuckle.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've had to stop watching the news, reading the news, and I've even gone so far as... I don't watch anything that's even remotely violent or scary on tv. I just don't...

Oh gosh....I'm having the same issue, sort of. I went 4 years no meds, no anxiety since my last bad bout of panic. In the last month, mine has decided to rear it's ugly head again. It's so...

Eh... after about two weeks of feeling pretty decent, the last two days have been rough. I've had anxiety on and off, but no panic attacks, (thankfully!) I'm going in tomorrow to talk to my...

I'm on it too, but I ALREADY grind my teeth, so....

Eh, today I've had that... weird jittery feeling in my shoulders and arms. I'm pushing past it though, went to the market and I'm going to clean the house and keep myself busy!

Good for you! I'm the same way, every good day means more to me than the bad. I'll get through the bad ones... and I just have to remind myself that when I have good times, they're that much more...

Heya, I'm Heather and I'm 30 yrs old. I live in Tennessee, but I'm from Texas. (I miss Texas SO much! ) I'm married for 10 years with a 9 year old daughter. I've got general anxiety and panic...

I spent the day taking care of my family. We're in rough times now, but we'll figure all this out. I helped my husband send out resumes, I did dishes, and made lunch and dinner. I've felt pretty...

Thanks guys for the replies. It helped ease my mind a bit, and today was the first day I didn't suffer from horrible side effects! Hopefully I've finally got them out of my system. :D
