Sadia, I know you well by now but above another member suggested that you see a DR to rule things out. Perhaps you should do that but the " rule of thumb" is that it most probably is anxiety related...

Sadia , It is common place to go to a worse case scenario with Anxiety Disorder. It isn't Lung Cancer and Embolisms don't randomly occur in 27 year olds. Embolisms ( Pulmonary- Lung ) usually follow...

Hi Sadia, See I'm never that far away. There is a muscle that runs from your neck all the way down to your back ( it is called the Trapezius Muscle). This muscle is quite easy to pull. Have your mom...

Shelley, Your brain will believe it " eventually" , it truly is all about reconditioning your mind/ body and how they react to an imagined fear. I was really agoraphobic when my anxiety disorder...

Shelley, You are doing well. Congrats on pushing through that fear of feeling unsteady and going back outdoors. The feeling off balance going out door is " Agoraphobia" , anxiety's ( your) attempt to...

Hi ! May I make a suggestion here, without sounding critical. By talking about your symptoms all the time and comparing notes you are actually concentrating on the anxiety and in turn " feeding it"....

Hi Sadia, Lin, Locksey and all, Well that good Old Panic Disorder and the allergy to Epinephrine caused me to have 7 shots and then as she ( My Dentist) refers to as the " Last Resort" ordered...

You need to read backwards, they always list the not serious stuff at the end LOL...you can count on me to give you the NOT SERIOUS STUFF !

Why do teeth wait to the most inopportune time to go NUTS and take you down ??????!?

Hi Sadia,, Ok so I went to my Dr and requested an antibiotic because my tooth was cracked in half and I needed to wait til after the Art Show...so he gave me one to prevent infection....so all's good...

Sadia, Brain Aneurysm " always" comes up as an option for headaches. Brain Aneurysm is NOT what you have,Aneurysms are excruciatingly painful. How do I know this ? I lost two very dear friends to...

Honestly so exciting for all, brought back memories of Diana :) Hope you are feeling well, so busy with Art until next week . Take Care X

What a Kinglet ?????????????? ...How could this be ?????? ....Now I Know the Kinglet will be hanging with...North West :)

Yes it's called acceptance and recognition of the anxiety. By accepting it you take control of the anxiety and realize it's not going to hurt you. You see it as harmless and it backs down. Most...

Lol I was wondering who Smelly was and giving them credit for giving themselves such a telling name, honesty at its best ! Where is Queenlet ??????? If it's a boy I am still going call it Queenlet as...

Hi Sadia, You and Shelley seem to be forming a good support system. I hope that includes you both pushing yourselves and your comfort zones a bit. I am so pleased that you walked home from the Drs,...

Sadia, That's amazing !!! Good for you !

My anxiety is " up" and will probably stay that way until I get the Art Show out of the way :( but's it's ok. Hopefully you feel a little better by now. I know I have been afraid to go to sleep...

No, she won't lose her job, they know her well and was with her ( and actually helpedHer by putting ice to her neck etc) It. Was just too hot and then the caffeine. ( I tell her all the time not to...

Yes I'm ok Sadia, although my daughter just came home from work and had a massive Panic Attack. She works at a French Bakery/Bistro. Everyone is from France including the Executive Chef/Owner who...

Ok you are not having a nervous breakdown, your anxiety is in overdrive. As far as why you have heightened anxiety there were two reasons, one-the dentist and that trapped feeling of being in the...

I know it's hard :(

The Day went well ! I turned down my Hot Tub to 80 and used it as a mini pool , it was great ! When you get that first impending doom just quickly think of something else...perhaps Rob Kadashian and...

I know I think that impending doom ( I'm going to die) is "The Hardest" thing to get by with anxiety, that's where rationalizing that you've made it through many attacks is important. Most probably...
