Sit with the anxiety, they say...
A certain amount of desensitization makes sense, if you have certain types of anxiety that involve worry, resistance to feeling and dealing with discomfort, and
phobias
. But, if you have pervasive and persistent anxiety, are you just supposed to sit around all day with anxiety?

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?

Stopped Paroxetine - 10mg- without tapering- been on it 20 years. Had complete anxiety/panic crisis. GP prescribed Sertraline. Really disagreed with me- agitated panicked insomnia…got up to100mg- side effects ridiculous. Tapered off and started 50mg Trazadone- started sleeping better immediately- now

Anyone here at this time
I live with my mother in a single family since I was a child. I love her but also afraid of her. We live together but have no common voice and connection. She has anxiety disorder too and her thoughts, her actions, her talks trigger anxiety in me. I keep silent all the time and be more depressed and

Wanna get back to normal
I was first diagnosed with depression back in 1998. Been on Zoloft since. Had basically 25 years with little to no serious symptoms. Unfortunately my mother passed in November 2022. Since then I've had 3 bouts of depressive episodes. So frustrating. Not sure if it's just because I'm getting older

Wake Up Call
About 2 weeks ago I was hospitalized for 4 days. I was in a coma for almost 2 days. It was an accidental overdose. My wife tried to wake me for 4 hours to no avail. Paramedics gave me 4 shots of narcan but my body had already absorbed the medication. I woke up angry and confused. My wife never left

Losartan
Have been on Losartan 100mg for a long time and most mornings I seem to be often clearing my throat. I looked up on Google was this a symptom of the drug and read to my horror that Losartan had been recalled because of cancer scares! I haven't been told by the pharmacist of any such problem. I hope it

Up all night again.
I've had anxiety caused by some family issues. It's usually my daughter calling me crying and wanting to talk and going through some horrible custody issues with her daughter, my granddaughter. It makes me so sad and then I have trouble sleeping at night. Can anybody out there relate? I have such terrible

Prozac
I have been suffering with anxiety and depression as long as I can remember. It has been a struggle but I cope by exercising, volunteering and my faith in the Lord has helped tremendously. However, I realize that I have a mental disorder or illness and it is getting worse now that I am getting older

Xanax and weed
I’m currently on 1.5 mg of Xanax total daily. I was wondering if i can vape weed while on Xanax. Or if anyone here has done it. And what was the effect? I just developed globus sensation from the big piece of apple i swallowed. It scraped the esophagus, my provider surmised, leaving me feeling like it
