About Me
I'm a h.s. teacher, grad student and tutor. I have a bf who is the sweetest guy ever...I have no kids. About 2 years ago...I started suffering from anxiety and at times, depression. I hated being so moody. I have to keep busy otherwise I start to feel physical symptoms. I don't know how to relax.I have lost interest and enjoyment out of a lot of daily activities. Now, after a year of NO attacks, its back =(

I READ ONE OF YOUR POSTS AND WONDERED IF YOU COULD TELL ME MORE ABOUT LEXAPRO? CAN IT BE ADDICTIVE? DOES IT REALLY HELP? I KNOW THE LORD DOES EVERYTHING IN HIS TIME, BUT MAYBE HE'S MAD AT ME BECAUSE I WON'T EVEN LET HIM DO THAT!
Celebration
Hope you are doing good.

Close Anxiety
About 10 months ago I had what I thought was a heart attack which in actuality was a(n) anxiety/panic attack. It was the worst. I couldn't concentrate. I would cry for no reason. The anxiety had taken over all of my thoughts. Now learning how to cope but still not as strong as I feel I should be. The physical symptoms still freak me out. Luckily they're not as frequent as before. At times I would feel like I had every disease possible and many times I felt like I was going to go crazy.
Treatments
- Breathwork Somewhat Helpful
- Using breathing techniques but didnt always work.
- Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
- After trying it last summer...im back on them. I guess i never really gave them a chance.im feeling better so maybe it is the meds....we'll see

Close Eating Disorders
Well I have been overwight since my teens. I am 26 and wigh about 300 lbs. I have been between 275 and 330 within the last 5 years. My weight does not stay stable. I have come to terms with the fact that I have a very unhealthy relationship w food. I am currently trying to work on this. I though i was eacting bc food is so good yet im thinking theres something more going on inside. I was a very depressed teenager.

Open Stress Management
Im a h.s teacher, I go to school full time, I workout, I work weekends, I tutor......there just arent enough hours in the day. When I have some free time...I eat!! I also feel that my stressful and rushed day has been a major factor to my anxiety. I try to relax but I get very little pleasure in anything lately. Can anyone relate? What can I do to relax if i dont enjoy doing much?
Open Sexual Abuse
I was sexually abuse by my uncle for over 6 years. I never told anyone. My uncle was an alcholic and lived w/ me and my family. I was about 8 when it started. After some time, it became normal. As a matter of fact, whenever he did not show his "affection", it made me sad. When I was 14 he died in his sleep and I was devistated. I wanted to die with him. It wasn't until I became and adult that I realized that what he did to me was not right. It wasnt until 2 years ago that I told me mother.
Open Healthy Sex
Well.Ive been sexually active since I was 21. I'm single and have multiple partners.....yet I'm ALWAYS safe. Get tested often. I do find myself sleeping w/ unavailable men. I cant quite figure that out. But i do enjoy sex a lot in almost any position u can think of.
