I remember back when I joined it was quite bustling. I like to think many people have won their battles with anxiety or learned control, and so they moved on - that's at least why I did for so long....

Nice! Good to hear you're having a good time so far. Pretending to like somebody and talking to them only to snicker behind their back seems like a terrible waste of time and energy methinks :P Haha,...

I definitely agree with the others here about seeing a therapist to help. They can be super helpful with helping you put things into perspective and learning new thought processes in order to...

Obstructive voiding symptoms, dysuria can point to an underlying issue, but that's why they did a urinalysis in the workup. If those tests show normal, especially if normal multiple times, then...

Hi,

Haha, I replied to your other post too. Regarding this one though:

ECG's Normal, Blood tests show no abnormalities, chest auscultation with no abnormalities, BP norm, normal sp02 levels...

Hi there,

You know, I was almost just like you with all that. It's awesome that even though it gave you anxiety to write everything there, that you still did it anyway, that takes strength - and...

Hi there,

Often times, in relationships, anxiety (or not), we are a rock for our partner and with anxiety a person to talk to and trust in is like a calm port in a storm. Do you feel flattered he...

It's possible. With anxiety, we tend to be more sensitive and reactive to things as normal as breathing - especially during a panic attack, the onset of one, or just when anxious in general. With...

Whaaaaaaat? That is utterly bizarre. She told you that you're bothering people? And that joining a forum was a bad idea? I don't see how joining a forum could ever be a bad idea. But when you...

Hi Ambrosa,

That sounds scary! Many docs aren't helpful, from what I hear, in regards to anxiety. They always think we're over exaggerating. Are you seeing a therapist at all?

Anxiety likes to...

Hi Darksword!

I read through your post and it sounds like you found a great match. As I reader further, you started to question whether you loved her or not - perhaps you should refer back up to...

Hi Meghan, welcome to the forums.

I had anxiety just like yours before. So I definitely understand what you're going through. Anytime I felt like I might be getting sick, I made myself feel sick...

I've always been this way. Unless I have a friend with me or something, I won't use the cafeteria at work, even though it's super nice. It's basically a buffet, with different parts offering...

I don't know why the teacher thought you weren't sitting with friends when you were with amongst random people. When you eventually get out of school into adulthood, usually that crap stops. There's...

Hi Christina,

Welcome to the forums! 7 years? Wow, you're a battle-hardened verteran, huh? I can tell you that you've made a good choice coming here, this forum helped end my battle with anxiety,...

Hi there, and welcome to the forums!

Remember this one thing; It's never hopeless. It's in our darkest hour that we usually see our true strength - and I've no doubt that you are strong.
You...

Anxiety is literally facing fear itself everyday. Quite the malevolent little trickster it is. Anxiety may or may not go away on it's own - it really depends on you, as well as the severity, what...

Waitressing is very stressful too - well, any customer service related job is I should say. Maybe try something a little more independent. When I was dealing with anxiety full force, I left my super...

Haha sad day. I've emptied it.
I'm an old member xD haven't been active for some time after this forum helped cure me :]
I've been coming back to help other people out with the tips that helped me...

I don't remember having that. But ya know, there are thoughts going through your head constantly, all the time, you just have to tune in to hear them. You encounter this a lot if you meditate....

My brother had horrible experiences with pot brownies. Just absolutely terrifying that I won't go into detail. Plainly, just avoid them like Travis says. If you like to smoke it too, it may have a...

Welcome to the forums :]
Have you tried any natural methods of anxiety reduction?
I'd definitely try all the natural methods before letting doctors give you any drugs if that's what they wanna do...

Hey :D
I see this is your first post, so welcome to the forums.
Wow, so many years of enduring anxiety. That is an quite an achievement! You must be strong as fuuuuu. I know how you feel though...

Yeah I used to get that. It's normal. Your nerves are all messed up because of anxiety :]
I think I remember magnesium supplements helped me with it :]

Heya :]

I can't really remember what my triggers were strangely! I think it was the feeling of just not being in control, the worry that I was insane and that I belonged in an institution where...
