Children know where to find joy:
in a dew-covered daffodil, in the shapes
of passing clouds, and in the laughter
of a friend.

Support Groups
Close Anxiety
Treatments
- Acupuncture Considering
- Would love to try it if insurance covered the cost or if I won the lottery, LOL.
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Has worked but only given it in the hospital a few times.
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- Need to read/research more about it to make sure the way I'm doing it is the most effective way and if there is other exercises I can try.
- Breathwork Somewhat Helpful
- Same explanation as what's under "BREATHING EXERCISES".
- BuSpar Not Working
- Didn't work after giving it a good try years ago. Hated the way it made me feel. It would have been nice if it had worked for me.
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- That is what I take now -- 1mg. four times a day as needed; however, some days I can only take 2 or 3 throughout the day.
- Meditation Considering
- Another thing I'd like to learn more about. Must first find my quiet place with 2 children running around -- LOL.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- It works somewhat but when you combine anxiety with depression, positive thinking is sometimes hard to make yourself do.
- Valium Working / Worked
- Worked but not as well as the Klonopin -- I no longer take it.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- That was started with me years ago by an internal medicine doctor before I knew I was having panic attacks. As soon as I was referred to a psychiatrist, the Xanax was eventually switched to Klonopin.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- I take Cymbalta now. After MANY years, the Zoloft became expectedly less effective for my depression/anxiety.

Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
I find it hard to leave my house to the point that I cancel appointments, make excuses, actually get a panic attack at the thought of having to leave sometimes. I do alot of "what if" thinking during these episodes.
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Reared it's ugly head 2 days ago...
Treatments
- Rape Counseling Somewhat Helpful
Open Codependency
My goal is to never hand over my power to the point that I get "thrown under the bus" by people who supposedly "love" me or care about me simply because I only take their words and not their actions into account. Nobody is worth the detriment of my health, my inner feelings, my self-talk, my emotional/mental status, etc. Not even family. See, I know all of this intellectually, but I have to learn the tools to make it a reality. That's what I hope to learn in this group.
