Stress Center Peer Support

I haven't been on as much lately hope, but i try to keep up with comments. I know how you feel, the anxiety is always there, even with the medications i am on right now, it is not as bad, but its still there. I just keep hoping for that day when i wake up and its all gone. I have also read a lot of ...

I am just curious if anyone has any thoughts or experience with the vitamins i am taking. I try to take good care of myself especially since i have been suffering with panic disorder. I am currently taking a multivitamin from the vitamin shoppe that you take twice a day, also fish oil 3/day, and vit...

Well, I don't get the ringing in the ears, but do seem to get a lot of ear infections, which make the anxiety worse. Especially the inner ear infection that makes you dizzy. I just finished a dose of prednisone for one, which i think didn't go away. My doc wanted me to see an ENT if the prednisone d...

Well, i just drove around the block, well 2 different blocks in the neighborhood. I drove all day with my helper, then we got back to my house and i followed her out of the neighborhood and just kept going a little further. Most of the time i was ok, then i felt panicky and turned around. Probably n...

It is great!! Good job!! Keep up the good work!!

My main thing is driving as well, it is such a horrible thing to have, to think you just can't get up and go like you used to. I know i got over it in the past and have hope that it will dicipate aga...

Wow, interesting story!! I guess the biggest battle is realizing that you are the only one that can fix this. Have you finished the program? I am just starting on session 9 and i think this is where it really get to the main part of the problem. My big thing is mostly anticipatory anxiety, i need to...

Thanks for the reply tina, i am able to drive with people in the car, just not alone, so maybe a parking lot where they get out of the car would work. I guess it is all about reconditioning the mind. This stuff is no fun and i have dealt with it for too long!! Congrats to you for actually going to g...

I am trying to figure out if I am just fooling myself into thinking i am doing better or if i have actually made progress. My main problem has been driving, and for the last month or so i have been driving almost everyday with someone, but not alone. There was a point where i wouldn't even drive wit...
