Terrified
I struggle with anxiety. In a nutshell, I live in on/going fear something is going to happen to one of my kids. More specifically, I obsess about them dying in a school shooting. Today, there was tragically another school shooting. And then on top of that, my son came hone with a song he wrote in music

AMD Drugs... yes or no?
AMD perhaps... doc wants me on prednisolone acetate and nepafenac ophthalmic susp. drugs for 6 weeks... and I'm concerned it will give me a problem with my immunity... Any thoughts... he want to see if it is really AMD before giving shots... sounds like the shots do the trick... seems started by stress

If I feel really strange and unhinged from anxiety, almost like I'm going to do something crazy, should I isolate myself and stay inside?
Lately anxiety has been making me feel like I'm about to get up and start screaming or running around or just say crazy things to people. I never do, but I FEEL very very unhinged. Is this safe? It feels like my brain is bouncing around in my head from weird thought to weird thought and I don't want

Lexapro or Zoloft better for GAD?
I’ve been taking Lexapro for about 10 years and it’s been fantastic, but I’m sensing it might be losing its effectiveness. For those who have taken both, was Zoloft as effective in treating GAD as Lexapro? I also take Trazadone at night for insomnia. Thank you!

Phobia of V*miting
Hello! I’m Katie. I have a severe, intense fear of v*miting and I was wondering if anybody else had the same phobia? I’ve been like this since I was a toddler. I would rather die than throw up.

Scary anxiety symptoms
Hi! I’m new to the site. I have been dealing with a lot of crippling and severe anxiety that has also turned into depression. My GP put me on Celexa 20 mg but I have only been on it for 2 weeks. I’m going through the ‘it gets worse before it gets better stuff’.. a lot of increased anxiety and junk. But

Ssris to deal with a severe bout of anxiety and depression before moving away from home. Pls help.
My fiancé and I are moving to Phoenix, Arizona in January and we live in Alabama with my family now. In September, I was hit with severe anxiety attacks out of the blue. (I had a really stressful job at the time so I thought that may have been the cause.) Well after I had those horrible anxiety attacks

Self destruction and my inevitable dimise
I am so so so good at being self destructive.It could be mentally or from drink or literally anything. It seems like I enjoy making things harder for myself. Unfortunatley I am now also missing my ex really bad with the cozy weather. I lost my phone and my credit card and someone spent $300 on the card

Hi everyone. Once again I awoke this morning and started crying. I cried until about 11am, stopping once when my boss called. Then showered (crying the whole time), took meds, and .... full stop. Sitting, looking at it pouring rain outside. Tried journaling but I can’t seem to write. Tomorrow i have

Where do you get support?
Hello, I am new here. I have severe depression and anxiety which has resulted in agoraphobia. I haven't been able to leave the house in almost 4 years now.

PANIC ATTACK ? NO, ATTACK PANIC.
I have been several ME's during my life. Not necessarily due to age but more to where I was in my timeline. Every life process requires a different set of skills and it can be a real challenge acquiring them. I stumbled a bit when I was a young Mother learning to become more self-reliant. This

Pain with Gonal F injection
Hi all, We have just done 3rd gonal f injection and so far every one has been excruciating. We’ve already had a month of buserelin every morning and while they aren’t pleasant, there’s been nothing more than discomfort, whereas these are hurting so much I actually have tears in my eyes. I barely feel

Scariest moment of my life
So yesterday was one of the scariest mornings of my life. I woke up with this burning feeling in my throat and when I got up I realized my apartment I share with my mom was filled with smoke. The fire detector started beeping and when I found the source of the smoke I was relieved, scared, and angry.

From MAOI to MAOI
Diagnosis' so far: Major Depressive Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Agoraphobia & adult ADD. Waiting for a sleep study to commence (apparent hypersomnia). So, I don't know if it's over yet, but the drought of Nardil (phenelzine) here in the UK meant I had to come off of it. The stress of finding enough

Feeling hopeless and unsure
Not sure why I'm even writing this but just kind of felt like writing. I've been dealing with some pretty heavy depression and anxiety lately and can't figure out what is wrong with me. I'm struggling to understand life in general and feel like my sense of reality is warped. Everything seems pointless
