Hello Just wondering if anyone else had issues with anxiety and depression while they were pregnant? It seems that once I hit the half way mark in my pregnancy my anxiety has sky rocketed, and it seems as if my depression is creeping back up on me as well. Im having worried thoughts, usually at nigh...

Hi everyone, So I just found out a week ago that I am pregnant. Came as a big shock to me because I am very careful when it comes to sexual relationships. The problem here is the father is not my boyfriend, but hes someone I have trusted for a very long time, we've known eachother since 6th grade an...

Im not sure if anyone here has read or seen the documentary The Secret, but I have found that some of its teachings are very helpful in training our minds to think on a more positive frequency...

And it has been for the past week or so. I almost passed out a couple nights ago because of it and since then I cant help...

Tonight I have a date, and I feel uncomfortably nervous. This guy is really nice, but doesn't really know much about my issues with anxiety. Im kinda freaking out. We are meeting up in 5 hours or so, and I feel I need some positive reinforcement here. How do I turn this nervousness into excitement?

Thankss!! Also I meant to ask, how long does it usually take to kick in? and would it be a bad ideaa to take it before working tonight given I dont know if it will make me feel dizzy or nauseous?

So ive been struggling with panic attacks and anxiety for a couple years now, I was on Effexor, it worked great then I tapered off at the beginning of last year. I finally felt like myself again and was very proud of myself for overcoming anxiety and had no panic attacks for almost a year. About a m...
