I just read on a Facebook page that a woman was diagnosed with "Diurnal Mood Variation." I had never heard of it, so I looked it up. It's a sub type of major depressive disorder, but you feel most...

Kirk, I never knew that! I have read about exercise, etc but not about being more social, but makes sense. I try to help people a lot, which seems to help me as much as them.

Well, I seem to be worried, about everything, all the time, so at least you can go back and forth!

Good for you, you need someone who will love you back in return.

DeMac DeRozan (Toronto Raptors) an American professional basketball player has come forward and is talking opening about dealing with depression. That prompted Kevin Love, another professional...

For all you give, you sure do get very little in return, almost nothing. You're totally into him but I'm not sure he feels the same way. I know he has anxiety issues but gee whiz...

I took Buspar and the initial side effects wear off but for me it was causing insomnia. When my anxiety was mild, I took it three times per day and it was somewhat helpful, but it has a short...

Those without anxiety disorders definitely don't respond like us. They just are able to take things in stride, and not get fearful and worried. I was on a WebMD anxiety board and a girl said the same...

Maybe see a counselor about how to get/keep a relationship, and then how to turn that relationship into one that includes a sexual component. Definitely not worth thinking of suicide. Find someone, a...

Please take it and give it four weeks and see if you feel better. I take Lexapro, which is similar to Celexa. My doctor always tells me to give each new antidepressant I try 4 weeks to judge it....

Pollyfama and Scared Dan...to both of you...very well stated! Such intelligence is so refreshing.

Pollyfama and Scared Dan, do what I have done so that I can continue to come to this forum: Put Ponder on your "Ignore List" and you will never see his posts. I haven't read anything he has written...

I'm always seeing scores that are outside the range but my doctor always assures me it is just a general range and I am fine. Discuss with your doctor.

That is strange but I do have times when I am much more anxious than others. Mornings and evenings are hardest for me, but as the day progresses, and I get involved in what I'm doing, I'm less...

A really good therapist can help you.

Well, 2017 was rough for me, but I'm looking forward to 2018
.

Happy New Year's to you too. I can certainly understand why this would be a hard time for you. It's hard for me because I feel so much better when I can get outdoors and get some sunshine. My...

If you go to the doctor and your heart is fine, you can rule that out, which means it is probably anxiety. One time I ended up in the emergency room, just knowing I didn't feel right, and the doctor...

Hello but I can't answer the technical question. Welcome.

Hello Paula. There are many who have social anxiety so you will find companionship here. Any clues as to what triggered the spike in anxiety lately?

I've never heard of this before, but I have heard of people having anxiety when they are not near their phones, or if they don't check their facebook messages and things like that. Maybe you're meant...

Start out with a medical doctor so you can rule out anything physical. Once your doctor gives you the okay, that all is well physically, see a therapist for your anxiety. You have to tackle the fear...

Oh yeah, you can check out women but don't be so obvious about it and don't do it while the woman you're with is standing there watching you do it.

The problem is he is making you feel insecure about yourself and that is wrong. It reminds me of what I heard one time told to someone I know..."On a heterosexual scale of 1 to 10, you're an 11"....

Welcome. I don't have ADHD, but anxiety for sure.
