I struggle with myself alot....
I may have a purpose in this life but I just think with all my extreme social anxiety,
phobias
, self confidence issues and tend to get sad here and there that I'm just something my family has to deal, my family cares about me alot. But I still feel like a nobody with alot of issues.

medication change
I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, OCD and panic disorder with
phobias
galore. They are tapering down one medication while slowly adding the other. I am so scared it won’t work or it will make my anxiety worse and I’m white knuckling it as it is. Any tips? Advice?

opinions on this-
I’m homebound agoraphobic for years, and could only go around a block, and have a severe phobia of medication of any kind even a vitamin, I’ve only had a few sessions with her and she was great, like she actually gave good coping skills, seemed to understand my
phobias
, gave me “homework”, anyways I

My mind literally makes up stories of its own based of my
phobias
and fears. Then I can’t decipher reality from my imagination. It makes me feel so sick as a human. So low ! I don’t have desires to harm anyone in this world. But I get so lost in my head after certain events or even memories.

I'm scared
I'm extremely agoraphobic (among other
phobias
) and
so terrified
. This fear has taken over. It is who I am right now. I hate it. The regular coping skills aren't doing sh*t. 😟☹️😱😢 Venting and asking for advice.

How do I stop myself from sabotaging my life?
I am trying to overcome my
phobias
, but I think some part of me doesn't want me to. I feel like I am "civil war" in my mind because one part knows I need to live a better life and not let my
phobias
run my life, but another part won't let go of the fear because it believes it's necessary.

NOCD.com legit?
I've been entirely overwhelmed by triggers in my job recently, especially the
phobias
I don't have "tools" for. I've signed up for nocd.com but haven't set up my consultation yet which I'll do on my time off next week.

Agoraphobia
I've suffered from this on and off for about 30 years. Am currently stuck in the house and have been for about 18 months. Not only do I not get out and about, but fear people coming over as well. Now it's to the point of being more than uncomfortable on the phone. In my opinion, agoraphobia is a "learned

HELP! First time injecting… terrified!
So I have a massive needle phobia and so my hubby has done all 100+ injections we’ve had to do (yes we counted!) We have to do one tonight but he’s stranded on a train due to the storms. So I might have to do my own for the first time (or risk doing it a couple of hours late) I’m not sure if I can

Zoladex injection today
Hi, I was due to have my prostab injection today but I’m having Zoladex instead. I’ve read in the past that it’s painful and googled a pic of the needle 🤯 needle looks huge. I normally have Buserelin but there’s a shortage . Doctor or nurse will be giving it to me later today, is it really awful

Anxiety flare up on dose adjustments
I’m currently taking 40mg of Prozac for the past year. It’s been ok but not great. Was on Paxil for 20 years prior to that. Was emotionally numbed on it. The doctor is doing a cross taper slowly on moving away from Prozac to a new ssri. Even just with a tiny dose adjustment my GAD flares up and it’s

Living with anxiety & depression
Hi all- I've been struggling with anxiety & depression most of my adult life. I feel like the older I get, the worse it gets. At the same time, I'm sort of resigned to it in a way. I have the kind of depression that makes it hard to get out of bed each day. Like I could sleep all day. Like I often

Anxiety again
Well it’s been a hard two weeks. My GAD has flared again. I’ve been climbing the walls again. I think the past year and a half has caught up with me. I’ve been pushing my limits for a long time. With my operation and recovery, going back to work too early, my sister ‘s stroke and running back and

Let’s Talk Intrusive Thoughts
Happy Thursday everyone! Has anyone else been diagnosed with having obsessive/intrusive thoughts? I am working with my therapist on this, but it is so hard to hear that this is what’s going on. I know we’ll work on regaining control of my thoughts, but I feel like I have no control right now and I feel

l-Theanine and Ashwaganda
Hi all I have been experiencing agoraphobia. I’ve tried Ashwaganda for about a month now. It has helped me with my social anxiety sometimes. It has helped to get me through interactions. But I still rush myself out. I was looking for another supplement. I read about L-theanine can help with reducing

alcohol abuse
recently I’ve been leaning towards alcohol as a self medication. I have panic disorder and agoraphobia and alcohol helps me do exposure therapy easily. This pattern worries me because I have found myself turning to that before I drive to make it easier. I know I should emphasize the fact that I know

Starting an antidepressant
I have been feeling horrible for over 70 days now since I found my ex who broke up with me last year has a boyfriend. Long story but I just started taking Pristiq. I have a long history of depression and anxiety and I have never been good about taking my meds. I was wondering if anyone had a good experience
