Today was my day...that crumbled...on which I crumbled. I posted today, the "Lonely Heart Syndrome" topic. Shattered today. And I'm still a bit tired, from even beginning to try to explain myself. So, I won't do that here. But I will say that I totally understand! I have always been a really indepen...

Not that I would wish this on anyone either but it was nice to have a "nice girl" actress come forward with a problem like this. On the other hand don't you all wish we could afford to go to Arizona, forget everything else and just deal with this for a month! Must be nice.

Hi everyone, I've been doing so well in the program. I even weaned off medication. However, I'm in graduate school (83 days till graduation) and I'm starting to feel a lot of anxiety over my midterm, my upcoming certification exam, finding a job, etc. So much so, that I am having many symptoms retur...

I'm having the same problem. I may have to combine many people in different situations. I have been analyzing situations from the past and critiquing myself on how I handled them. I even asked my husband to give me feedback. My issue is I have to stay assertive and avoid becoming aggressive. Additio...

It's because I was never told anything like that when I was a kid and I'm not used to it nor do I believe ...

Hi everyone, Well I finally did it. I quit the Xanax XR 3 days ago and lived to tell! I'm a little tired here and there, a little lightheaded/dizzy here and there but I am floating with it and I'm not afraid. No palpitations, no chest tightness, no fear. Listening to the relaxation tape every night ...

That is just unbelievable. You are an inspiration. I am weaning off Xanax. I will keep you in mind. If you have done it, so can I. Thanks for sharing your success.

You are probably having heart palpitations. They are not harmful, but you should have your heart checked just to be sure that it is only anxiety. My problems with anxiety started that way 3.5 years ago. While lying in bed trying to fall asleep, I could feel my heart pounding and racing, and even ski...
