It's lunch time and I have to go back to work in a few minutes. The fact I still have another 4.5 hours to work before I can come home for the evening is just killing me. I would rather be any where but at work. Nine hour work days go by so slowly! I am trying to work on positive thinking since I'm ...

Hi there, I'm 27, engaged, and terrified of turning 30 as well. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about my old high school self. My 10 year reunion is coming up next year and I'm petrified.

I keep comparing my current self to my old high school self and beating myself up for what I've become. My ...

My fiance does shift work and is being moved to the weekend night shift next week. I work week day days, so now we're on completely opposite schedules and will not get to see each other much for the next four months until another shift rotation. This is sending my anxiety through the roof. I am ...

I work in insurance and I know there are kickbacks (everything from free drug samples, to specially marketed pens and paper, to lavish trips to exotic places for "training meetings," to capital gain) provided to doctors from insurance companies, as well pharmaceutical companies, if your doctor ...

So I've had a lot of anxiety and panic lately. I'm finding that if I take a few minutes out of each day and write down what I am thankful for, it makes me feel a little better. Here's what I am thankful for today. Feel free to add what you're thankful for. Let's keep this going! :)

I AM THANKFUL ...

SS-were you taking the Toprol on a daily basis for the 5 year duration? So far I haven't experienced any side effects, which is why this prescription has been so great. The only downside is that my family is freaking out because they don't think I should be taking a "heart medicine" for the anxiety ...

This is how my anxiety started. I would be in meetings at work and my stomach would make weird noises and people would make jokes about it. It is so bad now that every time I go into a quiet social setting, I am worried about what my stomach is going to do. To ease my stomach, I'll take a Pepto ...

My doctor prescribed 10mg of Toprol XL for my anxiety and panic attacks because it contains beta blockers. My concern is that this is technically a heart medication and not something doctors typically prescribe for anxiety. I've tried Lexapro but didn't like how it made me feel, so I've been taking ...
