Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have anxiety and depression and things have recently gotten worse. But even before then I have had problems easily getting overwhelmed and then i completely fall apart. I can be doing something as simple as household chores and will get shaky and really upset and end up in bed crying. I can't figure out what causes them or if it is from anxiety or depression.
My doctor just increased all of my meds and I have decided to start talk therapy again regardless of the cost. My hope is to find someone I am comfortable with because I have both good and bad therapists.
Has anyone dealt with something like this?

I understand how hard it is to find someone to be comfortable with. That's why I didn't go back to therapy after my last therapist dumped me. I had been with her for 10 years minus the 4 years I lived in VA. I have very limited financial resources so I decided to try the counseling services offered by my doctor, cause they're either free or the same as my copay. I was instantly uncomfortable with the counselor. I have finally agreed to try again - after assurances from my doc that there is a different counselor, not the one I met with previously. I'm trying to set up an appointment.

I'm sorry you're going through this right now. I have had depression and anxiety, but am doing pretty well now. I know that shaky feeling, i hate that feeling... I did therapy and meds, and both helped me... i did go through a few therapists before i found one that i really connected with. I hope that you find a great therapist and that your med change works well. Hang in there and don't give up!

The shakiness and crying makes me think panic attacks. I could be wrong but it sounds like mild panic attacks. Going to a safe haven (your bed) and letting it all out is great. Journal... it probably isnt something youre doing but something youre thinking instead.... by journalling you can figure out what you were thinking and use some self-talk to get your mind off those things.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
