Experiences with

Phobias

I've had GAD since I was in graduate school back in 1997. It seems to be triggered by insomnia and escalates from there. I have been stable for most of my life on Paxil but over the last year the anxiety seemed better so I tapered down to 10mg. I started having some depression symptoms over the last

It goes on and I want it to all stop. After crying for two days, I sit on the edge of my bed, begging and pleading for my heart to just stop. Yesterday I took 3mg of Lorazepam, and two shots of whisky and slept for 18 hours but sadly I woke up, I have the same plan for today. I'm not in pain when I am

I am suffering from severe anxiety. My family doctor put me on effexor last month. I feel awful and can't stand this feeling anymore. I looked up the timeline to see a Psych in Ontario Canada and it's a 4 month average. Should I try to see a psychologist even though I can't afford it? I am desparate

you know when life gets in the way of your plans? I had a new lodger move in and it was soo super hot, i put off this run, but i think in part it was fear of it, noticing i get less breaks. last night i went after a 4 day break, i was worried it was too long and i would not be able to do it. you

My typical quarterly checkup with my CLL doctor follows a certain routine - I have the blood draw and then, as soon as CBC results are available, I see the doctor or his nurse practitioner. And then, long after I've left the office, the other blood results are available, including LDH. So, in other

Where to begin, I am a 27 year old doctor, unemployed, applying for exams to allow me to work in the UK, I am on medications for depression and ADHD for about a year now, I can't talk to my doctor because he's a psychiatrist not a psychologist here in my country you'd have to pay good money for a psychologist

Hi, I was scheduled for my last Buserelin injection on Thursday ahead of FET next week (Thursday). I thought I had just enough left in the vial but there were only a few drops when I drew it up so I didn't get a full injection (or anything close) Initially I wasn't worried, my lining looked good at D9

Today I had my first therapy session . It was a free virtual one through my mom's work. I spent my entire morning a nervous mess but was trying to make my space comfortable and drink lots of water. When the session was about to begin I started having a panic attack and had to hold it on. I was almost

They also said he could be bipolar and has a lot of phobias.

Edit: Appointment is over and wasn't as bad as I thought-yet anyway. Thank you all! I have a mental health assessment today at a new behavioral healthcare office and I'M TERRIFIED! Here's my head: [i]Will they judge me? Will they want to change my meds? Will they diagnose me with a new condition

Was on Cymbalta stopped working..doc switched me to paxil...but side effects horrible. I take Xanax sometimes and find it works so much better.. what do u think?

Had the Nuclear Stress test in the apparatus similar to a dentist chair. It was a Lexi Scan with injection but did not have to lay flat and was less than half the time of the round donut looking machine. My cardiologist did not have the newer technology he wrote me a referral to go to a cardiologist

boy have i had my fair share of different medications to try to help me in the past 9 years. i've tried propranolol, buspar, hydroxyzine, none of those seem to have helped my anxiety at all. i was on lexparo for about 6 years until that just stopped working for me so 2 weeks ago i started zoloft. im

I'd like to share something that others may be able to relate to. After suffering for many years with different ailments in addition to, or probably related to PA, one thing that many may suffer from is depression. I was given all the usual psychotropic medications with little positive effect. Then

I am switching from Lexapro to Prozac. I feel awful! It feels like extreme anxiety and agitation. Is there anyone who can validate that this might be discontinuation syndrome. I feel like I’m going insane. Thank you

Hi glad I found this group. I have had depression and anxiety for a long time 2000. Dx Generalized Anxiety Disorder Effexor worked after going through a few meds as my stress level climbed my doctor at the time gave me Ativan .5 as needed added to Effexor it worked. (That was in 2000) fast forward

Maybe staying home while mom and sis are at job and school while I'm having one month of classes, would stir up some pressure. Thinking about going home to think after my course this weekend. I think I can't make a decision while paniced and having two days. Thought about misssing one rent by leaving

I need help. I couldn't find a place. The terrible person who offers places under rent, made me walk through the entire city with my agoraphobia and in the heat and when I haven't eaten anything. Wondering whether to give up on searching and whether to go see mom and sis for a while or i would relapse

I just wanted to thank everyone again for being so kind and understanding and helping me through my meltdown I posted about a few days ago. I'm feeling I bit more hopeful now. Still got the "what ifs" I worry about still but I'm ok today.Thank you! Also a quick question if anybody is willing to share

First of all, thank you all so much for your help! This community has been so helpful and you all make up the fabric of it. I did take about 3 days to myself after the dreaded appointment. I was mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted. I stayed in my bedroom and was a bit down
