OMGoodness, can I relate to you all, lol. For me, it is my brain. I have been having such sinus issues, I am sure I have a brain tumor. Logically, I know what it is but anxiously, I am dying. I have a much better grip on reality than I did a year ago, thank the Lord but I am still seeing my Dr tomor...

Good for you!!!! It is possible that you had yourself convinced that you couldn't sleep w/out the meds but now you know different. Natural alternatives are great, I am glad you found something. It probably isn't good to quit cold turkey but if it's been 4 days and you haven't had any problems, you m...

Hey chuckie, my anxiety got really bad after we bought our first house last year. I didnt' want to believe the 2 were connected but it only makes sense. Buying a house is a huge step. My advice would be to visualize yourself in your new house, getting it exacty how you want it. Use your mind to crea...

I feel like I have come so far in getting this anxiety under control yet every time it's that time of month for me, I start to get a little anxious again. It is nowhere near the level it used to be but I still feel like I am going backwards to some degree. I am doing all the positive self talk which...

Wow, can I relate to your post. My second son had colic so bad he didn't sleep through the night till he was two and a half. I remember having very bad nights w/ my first son and since my husband was working graveyard at the time, it was all me. I had postpartum depression w/my third son and would l...

Thank you for the great post, K. That was a great analogy and definetly food for thought.

Don, that was a great post and so true. I wish psychiatrists would recommend an exercise routine that you would have to stick to for a month before he is able to prescribe any medication. If anyone doesn't believe exercise helps, they haven't tried it. I started on a walking regimen and like Don say...

John, talk to your wife. I was in the same boat, feeling like if I really opened up to my hubby, he would want to leave me, not wanting a "psycho" for a wife. The exact opposite happened. He has been extremely supportive in ways I could never have imagined. YOu never know until you try and isn't it ...

Welcome to the 2008 edition of getting to know your friends... Okay, here's what you to do, and try not to be a clown and spoil the fun!! Copy this entire e-mail and paste into a new email that you can send, but change all the answers so that they apply to you. 1. What is your occupation? retail, Zr...

Thank you for posting this question. I dont' personally have those thoughts but a close friend of mine who also experiences anxiety has had them. For some reason I didn't really put the two together, I guess cause I've seen her in her panic and the issue never came up. Anyway, dont' let the second g...
