I had enormous pain. I think I noted somewhere here before that I had no idea what was going on. I thought I was simply "like that". But it …

Good Luck
Why did you grandmother instill negative thinking into your head? My grandma would always say Seize the day(Carpe Diem) She lived life to the fullest and inspired me to be a positive thinker. Life's too short to be miserable~Good Luck!

Close Menopause
Treatments
- Estrogen Patch Working / Worked
- Seems to be working well on all symptoms (from "adrenal surges" to infinite sorrow). Dislike using a patch, though.
Close Anxiety
Seems I've always had at least some low-grade anxiety from my upbringing! If I was happy, my grandmother would say, "don't be happy, you'll cry before the sun goes down." I guess after much hammering this stuck and still sticks. I am afraid to let go and be happy thinking I'll attract something bad!
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- Same as "breathwork" no? Yoga breathing does help a lot.
- Breathwork Working / Worked
- It is good -- the long, deep breaths: the exhale longer than the inhale.
- BuSpar Not Working
- HATED! Made my chest ache while running! It actually helped the anxiety. But the chest ache thing was too much.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Love it. Love it. Love it. I need to do it more. I just had some bad stuff happen, so that put me into a mood where I can't sit down and mediate -- just when I need it most!
- St. John\'s Wort Working / Worked
- Valium Working / Worked
- Does klonapin count? I use it during the worst of the worst, since I don't want to depend on it at all. It does work though. But I've read how it can mess you up (read about Stevie Nicks, for example).
