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.

I am new to this community so allow me to introduce my self.
HI. My name is Michelle,25, and I live in south florida. I have my first year anniversary to my amazing husband this sunday (yes, april fools day!). I have been suffering from axiety for years now and have had it under control for the most part. I was able to just breathe and remind my self that everything was ok and calm down. But after putting my dog to sleep 3 weeks ago, I have lost control of it. I have been suffereing from terrible attacks because he used to be what I took out all of the panicing on whether it was a run or a ride to the park. The doctor put my on zoloft because I started having chest pains from it and everything else that comes with axiety. The med. helps me to clam down and put things back in prospective again. I just thought I would join a group where I can talk about this and not feel like there is someting to hide or feel ashamed of it. I used to look at people that were having panic attacks (part of my job) and say oh look how they can't contorl themself, but not I know why. Because something in me 3 weeks ago SNAPPED. I am still having the attacks but limiting my meds untill I get ot a point that I feel I can't cope anymore.
So that is the short and sweet of my axiety and I am very much looking foward to getting to know all of you and taking in advice!!!

Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
