I've been dealing with it in mild to severe forms for over 10 years now.

I asdf! I too suffer from agoraphobia. It's the pits, eh?! Just remember you aren't alone. I'm partially housebound - I have to force myself to go out some days, but some days I'm not too bad.

Oh I am so glad to hear you are feeling better! I personally have been on meds for 5 years. I just went back on. But it is different for everyone. Just have an open and honest relationship with...

I get like that when the anxiety is starting to build up. Then I have trouble focusing on something else.

There are a few people on here that have. I personally have not. I have come to the conclusion that medication and CBT are the way to go for me. Are you on meds and considering going off?

How was your appointment with your psych? I hope everything is going well. Are you on any antidepressant medication?

I have eye issues when my anxiety is bad. I get tunnel vision, blurred vision and white spots. I also am very light sensitive (can't leave the house without sunglasses) and I get eye strain really...

What I have done in the past is go to the doctor with a written list of all my symptoms and feelings. I then ask him if it could be: a brain tumor, heart attack or anxiety :) Then I let him take...

Ativan is harder and has longer lasting withdrawal side effects. It's not to be used as a daily med.

Personally, I would say it's just your anxiety, but that being said, I agree that you need to take a look at the situation and ensure you are looking at it from a logical standpoint. If you are...

Hi Belkin,

I too have have night time panic issues. Mine aren't linked to dreams, that I have noticed, but I wake up feeling exactly the same as you. I think it's just a burst of adrenaline. ...

Hey Lexie!

Medication and therapy together work better than medication alone. I think it is important for anyone going through anxiety to see a psychologist. I personally see both psychologist...

I agree with alan

My question is who WOULDN'T want to hoard cats :) I wish I could have 100! I love the two that I have, but I would love more :) I think you're just an animal lover. I agree with the poster that...

Welcome to the site. Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone in what you are going through. I have been through much of what you described.

Hi aesnoke. I too deal with this on a regular basis. I don't really have any good advice to give you, unfortunately. I had a major fear of my grandmother dying for years and she just did pass in...

I will keep my fingers crossed for you :) My grandma took it for her panic disorder and it made her life so much better.

that's a good doctor you have! I love when doctors actually rule things out. I am the same way regarding the shortness of breath. It is very frustrating.

back at ya babe!

As with any supplements you you'd check with your doctor first.

To be honest, he probably has completely forgotten. I read a lot of "could" and "should" in your post. I think its best that you let this one go. Kids make all kinds of mistakes while young, and I...

bobbie, check out the information in this wiki entry. No longer considered a b vitamin. it is a carbohydrate. Large doses are needed for anxiety relief according to studies.

HI Prim! Welcome to the boards. I suffer from the same as you, and I like all the same stuff as you :)

I'm glad you asked this question, as I've been reading a lot about this and am interested in whether it works for people or not. If you read up on it, though, you have to take large amounts of it...

I'm a terrible sleeper too. It ruins my day. I am so exhausted by 3 or 4 in the afternoon but then by 10 or 11 I'm super awake and it takes me hours to get to sleep. Sigh, I just wish I could have...
