Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment ...

I have been feeling lightheaded/dizzy for a few weeks now -- it seemed to begin with the onset of my last period and I can't seem to shake it. I did go to a PA about it and she told me it was anxiety and gave me yet another drug to try, which I didn't because I don't do meds very well (and I don't ...

It has been quite awhile since I have been down this road. For a little while I thought I was getting better, then some stressors entered my life and I took two step backward. But, I felt I was on top of things . . until now. Since my last period, I have had light headed spells -- it has been going ...

Sometimes things are just left undone and thus we feel undone and I find it helps to reach out ...

After suffering severe anxiety and panic attacks for several months, I feel I am finally at the point where things are starting to get better. Sure, I have intermittent moments of anxiety, but my panic attacks have been few and far between and I thought I was getting a handle on this. BUT, my body ...

Hello, everyone. I am just writing because I am starting to worry again about my health. This sucks because I feel I had come a long way on my own to combat all this. This pretty much started this past weekend I went to visit my ailing grandfather and no doubt I was stressed about that. I remember ...

I have been reading through everyone's experience with anxiety and I must say you all have been quite a reassurance for me. In some cases, like with burning sensations, I felt I was the only one. Here are some of my symptoms:

Burning or cooling sensations (mainly in my back, but also in my head and ...
