Thank you for the input. It helps greatly.

I think today is a good time for the first step towards cutting caffeine out of my diet.

I will let you know how it goes.

I have been experiencing blurred vision for a month now and it may be in conjunction with my anxiety.

I get relief from eye drops. The clear up. I just feel foggy all of the time.

I had a full check up and everything was fine. I ca not see the eye doctor until April 1.

Any help is appreciated.

The whole positive thought process makes a lot of sense. I am writing my negative thoughts down and am making an effort to be positive. My problem is THE NEGATIVE PEOPLE AROUND ME. My parents are NEVER positive. The can not enjoy themselves and are always piling negativity on me and my sister. Mind ...

The tape helps a lot and I have been listening to it 3 times a day for the last 3 weeks. The breathing and muscle relaxation are great. The last two times, I had to turn it off when it is time to walk with Lucinda. I can not get into that part. I turn the tape off and then just relax and breathe wit...

I would like to add to my last post. Most of my sexual morality was taught by hypocrites. Catholic priests who I know for a fact were gay or had pedophilia issues were telling me how evil homosexuals were and how dangerous it was. To this day, it still makes me angry yet I am also aware that no one ...

It is all fear. The gay person may feel guilt at first but it is not anxiety driven. Like the link says, if you ar...

It is what made me fight back and succeed. Now it is out of control and I am sick of being angry.

Peace.

How long does the with drawl last?

I use energy drinks when I exercise or perform in public. It boosts my performance. Now, I feel like they are buring me out and my anxiety is really bad.

It makes me feel like superman but now I am a wreck.

What will happen and when will it end?
