- nervous! afraid of what will happen while I'm there. What if while talking about these things I start dissociating and can't come back? Penny (my current therapist) said he would know what to do. But he doesn't know me, he doesn't know what...
- I've had panic attacks for 7 years. There is almost always hyperventilation involved. And during that, I've noticed, sometimes I'll just start holding my breathe for awhile, not consciously, even if I try to breathe, I can't. I assume this is the...
- Bad panic attack last night. Couldn't get up, had my phone but no one answered at first. Xanax was in the other room. I could keep it in my pocket, but I don't always have pockets. I've got one of those key chain things so I have it with me...
- Anybody read this book? I found it as I was searching for info on DDNOS. It is on the more expensive side and looks like it is written for therapists, but it looks like it may be helpful to read. If you know anything about it, please let me know...
- I have wondered off and on if I have DID (dissociative identity disorder - previously known as multiple personality disorder). But I know I really don't meet the criteria. But it does seem like there are parts of me I can't get in touch with that...
- Something happened last night and I think it might have been a child part. My therapist often talks about my child parts, and I don't think I have DID by the DSM-IV definition because I've never lost time or found something I had done that I don't...
- I was diagnosed with DM in 2009. For the last year or two I haven't had any muscle pain and the only rash I've had is a little bit on the face. I'm still taking methotrexate and hydroxycholoroquine.But I also have a strange symptom that we haven't...
- This stupid anxiety is so frustrating! I'm trying to get my homework done and I'm hyperventilating. I was supposed to submit it by 5:30 and it's now past 6, but I'm sure the teacher will give us grace because of the hurricane. I just wish I could...
- I'm taking alprazolam ER (extended release) and went from 4 to 3 mg daily without a problem. I just went to 2 mg starting last Monday and my anxiety has been through the roof. Has anyone here done this before? If it's withdrawal symptoms how long...
- I just read in "Narcolepsy?" that docs tell you to go off your meds for 10 days before the study. Last time I had a study, 3 years ago, I wasn't on any meds. I'm going to have another study soon (they didn't consider narcolepsy last time so I...
- I've read that paxil and other anti-depressants can be used to treat cataplexy. I'm on paxil for depression and recently upped the dosage. I realize now, that since I increased the dosage, my episodes of falling down have almost completely...
- I have improved a lot and panic attacks have become few and far between. There is hope! I used to have them daily - I went a few days where it was practically constant, waking up into them and having them when trying to go to sleep, and napping...
- I have heard it said that to develop good sleep habits one should cut out caffeine altogether. I've never gotten addicted to caffeine, but I don't hesitate to drink a soda or have tea from time to time. Yesterday I had a headache so I took...
- How many hours a day do you sleep? I just saw a neurologist this morning who thinks I may have narcolepsy. I've been fighting fatigue for 6 years, and have been having weak leg/falling down spells for 4. I also have anxiety issues so I thought it...
- For years I've fallen down when I'm tired or in a panic attack. Not always both. Someone recently said she had heard that falling can be a side effect of meds. Do you know anything about this?What happens to me is my legs just suddenly get weak -...
