      Mood July 18, 2009 12:39pm

      I downloaded some anti-anxiety recordings last night. Hopefully, I can give them a try today or tonight.

    • Hug

      From sixtyten August 11

      whew.. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has dealt with this. I hate getting that sensation because I start to think more and more about it and it only gets worse. If I start watching a good tv show, I can get my mind off of it and it usually goes away. Why do our brains have to worry so much! :) I wish it would chill out so I could enjoy life and stop stressing so much.

      Good luck with your anxiety as well. I'll stay in touch!

    • Close Anxiety

      I started w/panic attacks in college. After about 2 years they abated to non-existance. 5 years ago, after a prolonged medical episode w/my Dad and the sudden death of my cat, they started back up again. I'm on my 2nd drug for depression, but things are becoming intense again. I'm not sure what's going on.

    • Close Psoriasis
      Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the Skin

      I was diagnosed w/p over 20 years ago. It has gotten progressively worse every year. I have not worn shorts for over several years and my arms are getting to the point that I've considered what it will be like having to cover them in 95 degree weather as well. It's very degrading. I've been pointed at, stared at, have had children and adults alike look at my patches w/disgust. Do I risk cursing offspring w/this?
