Experiences with

Phobias

I read up about our

Does anyone have experience withdrawing from Opiates? I am currently being prescribed Pain Medications for Spinal Stenosis for...going on years and I am trying to cut back by weaning myself off and it's NOT going good.

Been on and off Ativan (as needed) for 10ish years. As needed meant sometimes only like 20 pills/year were taken. Mostly able to regulate on my own. In 2019 my general practitioner said they could no longer RX habit-forming meds because of the opioid crisis. I was told they could only treat my anxiety

I drink alcohol 0-1 times per week socially with friends. My New Years resolution was to not black out for the year, but I screwed that one up last night. Edit: Usually I’m fine just having a couple. But maybe once every 6 months after having a couple I keep going and I black out by the end of the night

[/i] [i]I will face my fear. [/i] [i]I will permit it to pass over me and through me. [/i] [i]And when it has

I'm writing the follow up on a post I did about a month ago regarding an upcoming ablation procedure. If you recall, my concern was about traveling from Orlando to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore … I wanted to get feedback concerning how long I should stay before returning on a flight home and about

I was diagnosed with Afib 3 years ago literally to the day and have found over the last few months that episodes have become more regular but sinus rhythmm is restored by using bisoprolol 2.

So I got a big camping trip coming up with my family in March and I’m kind of nervous. I will be going to Yosemite National park which is about a 6 hour drive from where I live. This will be my 3rd time going there and I have not been out in a far road trip or camping trip since diagnosed with panic
