      I am married to a wonderful, supportive man, and am going to be graduating in December with my Associates degree in Computer Networking. I have been having problems evern since I turned 18. First they were small issues, then I graduated to promiscious ways. I am not proud of what I have done, and found out why it was and still is diffucult for me to hold down a job for longer than a couple of months. If anyone has any ideas or advice, please do not hesistate to leave me a message, or a hug. Thanks.

      They used to be, walking, camping, hanging out with friends and family, and swimming. Now I rarely eat with my family, and my anxiety seems to take over when out in public.

    • Hug

      From sleepygoldenstorm April 25

      Amanda, I went through what you did last summer. I could barely drag myself out of bed. I had complete anxiety about leaving the house. I hope you get through it. I know what you are going through. If you want to talk, just leave me a message. Kathryn

    • Hug

      From SunCat March 19

      I've been meaning to send you a message for a while now thanking you for your wonderfully supportive message. I hope the Lamictal helps you; I take it twice a day and find it definitely makes life better. Finding the right med for you may take some trial & error, but it is SO worth it when you do. Keep breathing in public - we can fight our grocery store armies together! (grin) BIG HUGS to you! xx Elienne

      From Ladybug7 March 18

      Hi Amanda -- How are you doing? Are you having any success with the Lamictal? I guess it may still be too soon to tell. I hope you're having a great day! : )

    • Close Anxiety

      I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, and BiPolar type 2. I have been put pn medication, but have lost both my job and car. I am in search of support ans friendship.

      Treatments

      Breathwork Working / Worked
      Whenever I start to feel myself getting overly anxious, I stop, remove myself from the situation, and do breathing exercises. This has worked some of the times.
      BuSpar Too Soon to Tell
      I have been put pn buspar, but have not been taking it long enough to see a difference yet.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 and generalized anxiety disorder recently, and am having a hard time coping with it. I have good days and bad days. It is so hard for everyone in my family, because they do not know if I am going to be up or down at any given day.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
      I just started taking it, so I have not noticed any change yet.
    • Open High Blood Pressure

      I have had high blood pressure since I can remember. I was on cardizem for awhile, then got dropped from my insurance. So naturally, no more meds. That was about seven years ago. I just got put on Lisinopril a couple of weeks ago and am going strong.

      Treatments

      Fish Oil Too Soon to Tell
      Just started taking them.
      Lisinopril/HCTZ Working / Worked
      I have been on Lisinopril for about 2 weeks now, and my bp is coming slowly but surely.
