Hi, I think your reaction is perfectly normal. It's difficult for many moms to return to work after being at home even if they don't have anxiety and panic. So, it's considered a high anxiety time for anyone in your predicament:). I've been a mom for eleven years of a child with severe autism, and I...

Wow I can relate to you guys. My anxiety started after having my son. He is 15 months now. It was REALLY bad when he was 3 months. My mom left me when I was 10. She has been on and off drugs ever since. I think that is where my anxiety is related to. I try to be supermom but I dont think there is su...

Manley: I thought I was the only one dealing with this! I have not been to the gym in 2 months and prior to that it had been 6 months!

I've been on Celexa for almost 7 years. I've had to gradually increase the dosage over time from 10mg to 50mg and with the exception of a few setbacks, I've been virtually anxiety free the whole time....I'd say about 90%. I do believe that our meds wear out over time though. I think our bodies becom...

Well as of 12:00 it has been 72 hours since I drank. I have looked into AA and am leaving here to go speak with my daughters teacher. When I have had these binges I will not leave the house and do not want to leave for 4 or 5 after I stop. I did week two and I am going to face my fear talk to the te...

Hi Mack, I'm not sure why you are on the antibiotics (what infection you have), BUT I wanted to throw something out here. Have you ever been tested for Lyme Disease, or have any of they symptoms? I 'thought' I just had anxiety that would come and go for the past 12 years. I just found out that I hav...

Here is the "hug" you need to get you through this. I understand your anxiety about money. I am on a day-to-day basis with my job right now. I keep thinking to myself that the economy is so bad right now, I just know that I am not the only one going through this. Just remember you are not alone. Pos...

Oh, what an exhausting day! And nonproductive. I awoke this morning at 7:30 with the alarm going off (seemed VERY loud to me). That startled me and then I couldn't fall asleep again (I'm currently not working, it's hubby's alarm). I of course started worrying and forgot to eat. At 9:30 it was gettin...
