I’m With You
Hope you're feeling better. I struggle every day with some kind of pain making me freak out and think I have some critical disease. It's very tough, I'm sorry I can't offer any advice, but I feel your pain.

Close Anxiety
Been living with anxiety/panic since the '80's.It comes and goes depending on what's happening in my life; sometimes it seems out of nowhere but I can usually trace it back to some particular event.That in itself makes me calm down a bit.I am on medication that is helping.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- Prayer Working / Worked
Close Menopause
Hi, all...Started going through peri- at age 40 but didn't realize it then.Had all types pf problems but now know they were symptoms.Also been life-long anxiety sufferer.Doesn't mix well with menopausal symptoms!! Just looking for people that understand and maybe get good tips on how to handle this transition..
Treatments
- Black Cohosh Somewhat Helpful
- Estroven Somewhat Helpful
- Evening Primrose Oil Not Working
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am at a point in my life where I am at a total loss as to how to make it stick. I know what to do and I start and get going for a while then I binge and start all over again. Why can't I make it "click" and stick to it for life? Why won't my good changes turn into habits like the bad thinhgs do? I am stuck and cannot do this alone. I want to be here for the many things I still want to do and for my grandchildren that have only recently begun to arrive..
Treatments
- Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
- It's hard to remember to writ it down
- Curves Working / Worked
- Was fun and I saw results but my diet still sucked...thought if I kept working out I could still eat crap. Then lost my job abd couldn't afford it any longer
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- I feel a lot better when I have a stretch of time when I am eating right foods and right portions
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Does make me feel good and have lost weight doing it - then I backslide at the first real life crisis
