Sorry for your pain and how upset this makes you. I, too, had suffered from this and for many years. We become so attuned to anything 'different' in our bodies and our lightning fast responses just zoom us into a panciky feeling or high anxiety that can feel like a burning sensation in the heart. Of...

As I was doing my workout today I was listening to a song and got chill bumps...it was kind of a funny feeling because of course I was hot and sweaty but was still breaking out in chill bumps...lol. So that of course got me thinking about all the times I get chill bumps...yeah I can think of weird t...

While I was on Lexapro I gained weight pretty fast. I never felt full and many times actually had the munchies. I went on Zoloft after that to see if maybe Zoloft would be better....same thing...so I tried Cymbalta which is suppsed to help you lose weight. But again I never felt satisfied when I ate...

Ok, I'm sick of working my tail off. I'm sick of sweating, being hot, legs hurting, taking 30 mins out of my day, being out of breath...need I go on? I have lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks which I guess is good but I've got such a long way to go....I get so frustrated with myself for letting me get this way w...

So, on top of dealing with the whole Brett Favre issue (see the post Is this silly? to read about that)I have just recently found out that some of my good friend's mother just found out she has cancer in her pancreas.

Last year me and my sister (who is also ab Green Bay/Favre fan) got to take my two girls to see Favre and get his autograph. My 3 year old (who was ...

Well...it's almost 2 am in my part of the world...and I'm up for the second time in a row with insomnia. It doesn't bother me much...I know I will get to sleep eventually..lol. However, I think it is brought on my one of my biggest fears. As a child I can remember laying in bed at night being scared...

I don't have much time this morning as I am getting ready to go to church. But I had an EXTREMELLY WONDERFUL breakthrough last night. Ever since I had kids thunderstorms have given me high, high anxiety when they happen in the middle of the night. Last night I had insomina so I was awake in the livi...

Shelly, Oh how I can empathize with you in regards to the depression!! As far as the agoraphobia I can not personally understand but I know there are many on here who can. What session are you on in the program? One of the things that I have learned so far is that it's just anxeity. I know that the ...

My 2 year old daughter seems to have the same personality as I do. When she gets in trouble I can see her wheels turning in her mind thinking, "Why me?" I know when I was a child when I would get in trouble I would always ask myself, "Why me?" or "Why did I have to go and do that to ruin my day?" Wh...
