I'm also in the same predicament but what helps me besides turning on the A/C on high is taking sips of water. Just the act of taking a sip can get my mind off the thoughts that cause anxiety. Sometimes I have to get the bottle out of my purse or the side pocket on the door but it is enough of a dis...

I've had that burning senstation after I tried Celexa and Lexapro and I stopped taking them. My therapist said that maybe it is seratonin overload and I may be sensitive to the SSRI's and felt I should not take them again.

Elizabeth, I apologize I assumed you were still married and your husband traveled. I can smpathize about being alone though. I wonder about the program and if they have international program that encompasses diefferent languages. Worth checking out. I would not mind sending you my tapes or the cards...

Hi! You feel terrible for reasons I can get to later. You are right and I think it is a part of the anxiety "illness" when you feel good something in your mind thinks it is not supposed to be that way.

I was handling things very well (altho still scared as ever)so I just kept looking for workshops, seminars, etc to se...
