Hi Viking. If you haven't already, I would talk to her in a way that isn't intrusive to find out if she really is struggling with anxiety/panic/depression. I know when I was younger, I kept it hidden from my parents and put a facade on that I was in control at all times. This scared me so much that ...

I'm glad to hear that your working on your assertiveness. I have a touch of OCD, as many with anxiety do, and have learned that if some things aren't done....oh well. It's not the end of the world. Moreover, if I want them done, then I do them myself and not place that burden on my wife.
I think ...

Hello af. I have a question for you. Is your body tired after work? Are you getting enough rest at night? Meaning, if you're tired and your body is asking for rest, I see nothing wrong with this. We've got a 7 month old and I have had a good nights rest in like a year. So I come home and have to ...

Mita, you are ok. You've gotten checked out multiple times and all tests come back ok, right! Remember to use your breathing exercise. Stay in the moment and just accept that your heart is beating fine. The stress you're causing yourself is more than likely causing you to worsen. Try and relax ...

Lately, if it's not one thing, it's another health related worry. I'm so frustrated and stressed and exhausted. My anxiety has come back in a big way and I'm ...

Where do I start..??? Well, my anxiety is back and I'm going through the program one more time. I have health-related anxiety that's triggered when I don't feel well. I have a 7 month old now and the stress level here at home is high. I'm exhausted and haven't slept well and this has triggered aches ...

No you are not alone and I have decided to use my real name and even post my website. For me as a local singer songwriter it's like a tabloid bomshell. I Home School and have made this our "Life Management class" I want to stop the chain of self suffering in my family. So No you are not alone...just ...

I completely agree, so much easier to talk about this issue with those who can relate as there is that special understanding.

Faith - I've asked myself the same exact question countless number of times. Lately, I've been stuck in a bad sleep cycle as well and every time this happens, my anxiety heightens. I'll be fine but one night of restless and interrupted sleep and it's back. It's so frustrating. We need to keep ...
