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...

Have the doctors recommended any medications, counciling or course of treatment? Any of us who've lived with anxiety know all about the 'what if-fing'. Medications can be a great tool to help us grab a foothold; I always imagined being in a stormy bay, with family and loved ones on shore yelling... just come this way, and not able to. Meds were like the 'rudder' I needed to start for shore. I also what as at a point where I didn't want to leave the house. I'm not ready to hop a plane to Florida... yet... but get to work and do most things fine. Counciling, meds and time work wonders:)

It always amazes me how much we all have in common. We do want to think we will be alright, but we don't want to simply be told that we will be. Sorry we can't give you any guarantees, but your chances are good. Life for us is a struggle. We have to find a way to make it pleasurable or there is no reason to go on. So we do find ways to cope, and sometimes we are even happy and forget for brief times that we have this problem. I hear some have found the "cure" or at least a way to be happy most of the time. I'm stll looking and I hope that you will continue to search as well.

I agree...support helps, but what happens when relief doesn't come? I am on meds that help with some of my anxiety symptoms, but not all of them. Anxiety is a complicated thing... multifaceted, if you will. So many other issues go hand in hand with anxiety...such as OCD, depression, etc. It may help if you go to therapy in conjunction with meds. I've been told that I should try the same. Good luck and please feel free to call on me anytime you need support! =)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
