- My anxiety started up (after two years of being completely anxiety free) on the 4th of July and hasn't stopped since. The emotional aspects slow down or don't occur at all some days, but I always feel the physical symptoms every single day. I don't...
- Does anyone else experience the physical symptoms of a panic attack all the time? Even when I'm not anxious or panicking, I still experience shortness of breath, palpitations, dry mouth/throat, and muscle pain. It's annoying as hell and I can't seem...
- I know one of the many symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks is chest pains, but I was wondering how long it's normal to have these pains and when I should worry.I've had them on and off on both sides of my chest, sometimes in my arms, for about two...
- I've been a smoker for a while, about 8 years, and I've finally come to the point where I want to quit. The thing is...I've been reading up on what to expect emotionally during nicotine withdrawal and pretty much everywhere I look says quitting will...
- I had a reallllly bad panic attack in the shower last night. At first I tried to distract myself and go about what I was doing, but by the time I got out I was positive I was going to die. It took what felt like hours for the panic to stop and now...
- Two years ago I started having severe constant panic attacks. They stopped all together after I started taking Prozac and Ativan, but now they're back. I've spent the last two years horrified of this and now it's happening. I had my first attack...
- I can't stop binging and restricting no matter how hard I try. My therapist tells me every session that it's only going to make things worse, that it will make me gain weight, but even that won't stop me. I hate literally everything about myself....
- I'm so lonely and uncomfortable all the time. I can't stand to be anywhere, even my own house, when I'm by myself because it drives me crazy. I've been alone for so long and I honestly don't think I can handle it for much longer. It's never been...
- Long story short, my dad left my family when I was nine and I never saw/heard from him again. He died last year and it totally crushed me because I've wanted nothing more than to talk to him again for so long. So tonight I found his facebook profile...
- I have an interview later today for a job, but I'm freaking out because I don't know what to do about my arms. I have cuts/scars all over my arms and the place I'm interviewing at has uniforms with short sleeves. I go there all the time and I've...
- I decided to just stop taking my meds (40mg Prozac) cold turkey, without telling my doctor or...well, anyone really. I've given it four months and it hasn't helped at all, and it's also a financial burden for me.I know there are side effects that...
- I hardly feel it when I cut/burn anymore. I hate it because I do it (somewhat) for the pain. Obviously because the physical pain distracts you from what's going on in your head. So I started cutting deeper and burning with bigger objects, and it...
- Long story short, I mentioned to my therapist how I have these shitty obsessive and intrusive thoughts that have messed with me my entire life and she diagnosed me with OCD. I honestly thought I was just a freak of nature that thought weird and...
- I feel like some mutant-freak, but I honestly fear not cutting anymore. I just recently got on medication and into therapy for depression, and my therapist and I are working on my "destructive habits". Don't get me wrong, I'm happy I'm getting help,...
- We've only had one session. But at the time I hadn't cut in over a month and she said she was really proud. I started again on Christmas and I honestly don't think I'm going to be able to stop. I know it's important to be honest and everything, but...
