That's good that you found a method to help with breathing. I remember that breathing is so important. Deep breathing, I mean. During stressful times, I find that I "forget" to breathe. I will...

No, not really. I hope someone else replies. I heard one person took it for sleep (I think) many years ago. I heard another report that it might contraindicate with prescription medications, or...
I would search for sliding scale therapy and hopefully a sliding scale psychiatrist. I know that therapy (talk counseling) can be sliding scale, found more inexpensively, than psychiatrist. I...
Yes, very well said, definitely if it comes back it surely does need to be treated, however route you want to choose, meditation, acupuncture, counseling, medication, it just needs to be treated...
I have been through this. (As of recently, i have experienced it slightly again). I have to keep reminding myself that I am all right. I keep telling myself to exhale. I make myself push the air...
I am not a doctor. But I have heard stories of people who have gone to naturopathic/holistic doctors or nutritionists (or maybe they are referred by their gastroenterologist? not sure). And they...
Yeah, I think that many other people may have anxiety or other issues/conditions, and they just mask them better, we don't even realize how dysfunctional some families may be. i guess a lot of...
Thank you. I will ask. I am always interested in therapy/counseling methods and any new methods that talk therapists/counselors use. I find it fascinating, the different ways that people can heal,...
It sounds like everyone here is giving really good advice. And I'm glad that you are not smoking the weed anymore. I mean, for some chronic conditions medical marijuana can be good, but.....I used...
It sound like maybe what you took at that party might have changed your neurons and added to already present anxiety. But I've heard that the brain can repair itself, it just might take time. Maybe...
Yeah, what happened to the moderators?
No, it's not possible. I'm glad that you are being safe and concerned about HIV and other sexually transmitted conditions, though.
That sounds more like there is some depression along with the anxiety. I wish people would just come out and be honest about how they feel, why their actions might have changed, etc. A long time...
I will not only do the talk therapy, but I will work on the issues at home. When I used to go to talk therapy 20 years ago, sometimes I would then go home and not work on it. I would busy my mind...
I didn't think about it that way. That's a good positive way to look at it, at the good part of being near someone with issues. At least they can relate/understand. Thanks for reminding me to see...
I persistently reminded myself to stay on "my side of the street" and did not get involved in a loved one's stresses. I stayed to the side and worked on my own little projects. I told the person...
I'm proud of you, too. :) I'm learning to accept it and just let it be there and just float through it, too. Glad you successfully faced a trigger and I would be proud, too.
I had/have to take separate ones for depression and anxiety. For me, the antidepressants were not able to help that much with the anxiety as well. It all depends on the person, how they work, but...
No, I see a psychiatrist who prescribes the medications. I see them about every 3 or 4 months, depending on how I am feeling. I found a sliding scale fee for talk therapy. I booked an appt for...
Thank you - I will try that site out! Good idea to also remember what helped me the last time (to feel better). In the past, it was discontinuing my medications and trying to live without...
Thank you for the encouragement. and for reminding me to have patience and keep being persistent. not getting a certain job does not mean that i wasn't a good candidate. it might mean that there...
I am always so proud of myself when, on days off and nothing scheduled, I make myself go to sleep early, make myself wake up early (relatively), and then make myself stay up all day, no naps, no...
Yes, and sometimes I need to realize that I need to take a little more medication when going through a hard time. Not too much, obviously. But taking a tiny bit more clonazepam yesterday did help,...
Thank you Gypsy. I'm going to check out both of these authors. And I like thinking that we may be the "fittest" or at least descended from the fittest in terms of survival. Our fight or flight...
Thank you Kirk. I used to think I was cool as a cucumber with job hunting situations. I could be "cool" with it, maybe because I used to have more money in savings, maybe because I was younger...
