Hi everyone, I am going through a difficult time right now. I was diagnosed with GAD some years ago and am finally really getting medical treatment for it now (I am on a beta blocker for the anxiety and Palmora (sleep aid) to help me sleep better. I have only been on both of these for about a month,...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask for prayers for my great-aunt. She recently turned 80 and, after a bout with severe back pain (spinal stenosis) they did a CAT scan and also found she has pancreatic cancer (this is the same cancer that killed her sister, my maternal grandmother, 8 years ago).

Hi everyone, I posted a few days ago about my constant anxiety, and finally feel like I'm heading in the right direction. I went to the doctor about something unrelated but they seemed more concerned about my high blood pressure and racing pulse(due to the anxiety). My doctor put me on a beta-blocke...

Hi all,
I also have the book "The Introvert Advantage." For introverted people such as myself, it is very affirming. It's worth reading and pondering.

Hi all, I have the book "The Secret" and have to admit that it did do some good for me: The premise, that you attract the things that happen to you, is not a new concept, but like the author, Rhonda Byrne, says in the introduction, perhaps it is "catching on" so much with people because it was time ...

Hello everyone, Well, after dealing with panic attacks while commuting from home to work (20 minutes) I am happy to say that they are no longer bothering me. However, I feel as though I still have lots of "leftover" generalized anxiety. It's really subtle, but I tend to feel like my body is always o...
