Jessed,
It's pretty crazy how much sense I found in your post. And also interesting that you mentioned Brain Lock and Stuck In a Doorway. I own Brain Lock and would read it whenever I had the...

Kev,
Thank you...I'll be checking this out.

One thing I've already noticed there...a term called "thought-life". If that is what I think it is, I have to say that's where I struggle the most. Is...

Also, has anyone done the Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Edmund Bourne? Thoughts, feedback? I bought it but put it down and never picked it back up.

So I decided to give the Anxiety Research some rest over the New Year holiday. I only had to take 1 klonopin, and that was yesterday. But still, the same thoughts have persisted. I actually had a few...

Thanks for the response, alankay.
I don't want to start the Zoloft back up at all. The side effects were awful. I took my last month of pills and cut them all in half and stretched that last month...

thedunmer:

If not, I'm sure anxiety would play a role. From my experience with anxiety, it seems as if it is capable of turning...

Hello all,
I did a search for anxiety forums and this was Google's first suggestion. I trust Google :)

To start, I'm 27 and I seem to be in a bit of a quarter-life crisis. I don't know everything...
