- I have explained to my friends and family what triggers me - and it's not a lot. Last night we were watching TV and my adult son said something like, "OMG. They should ______ that guy." And it was slang for a torture term. I was able to let that...
- I'm new to your group and have had high cholesterol my entire life.I saw a cardiologist a few days ago and he suggested I start on a statin due to my high LDL/high triclycerides. No other risk factors.I have read that cholesterol has nothing to do...
- I've been looking at quotes this morning and found some that were really inspiring and thought provoking. I especially like this one: I existed on my own terms. I was different my entire life. Some called me divergent, wild, crazy, unpredictable...
- Hello, I'm new to this group. I'm working on eating healthier and getting back into exercise. I am working on getting into it very, very gradually because it seems whenever I start, I get really excited about things and get dizzy spells from not...
- I think it's a few months until we get to open enrollment in the US but I am so confused! I went out to the exchange and they've got PPO's, HMO's, EPO's and something else. Then there's deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance.There's bronze, silver...
- I'm in a writing group and this session we are tapping into our night time dreams and writing them down each morning.I've been doing this for the past couple of weeks and can I just say - NO WONDER I've had anxiety! My dreams are just awful! Not...
- I posted this in anxiety but wanted to post it here as well. What I forgot to say is that I've had some anxiety in church in the past and today I went - with the anxiety gone I'm able to see what bothers me. I love my church community. It's a very...
- I love my church community. It's a very giving group focused on service. I feel well cared for as well as having opportunities to be in service.I was shocked recently because I'd kept my rather liberal views to myself but as I heard more of the...
- I recently figured out why I have anxiety and solved it. My issue is that since I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember I'm still in the habit of thinking like someone with anxiety - I'm working on that. Tips are appreciated. The whole...
- I have decided - just now - to respond (with graceful sarcasm) to snarky people. Confrontation doesn't bother me but the inner mom tells me to have good manners. I find myself dealing with snarky people, ignoring their bad attitude and then getting...
- Someone posted in another thread that she felt anxiety really ruined her childhood and I feel very much the same way. I didn't enjoy the things others enjoyed and as an adult "fun" is feeling comfortable and free of anxiety.People remember going to...
- We've all heard of people going to the ER thinking they're having a heart attack when really it's anxiety. Well, I have some risk factors for heart disease. I also have a heart murmur....and I'm in peri-menopause...and I have anxiety. I've had...
- So I started on this new treatment about a week ago - basically vitamin therapy after getting a blood test to learn what I need. No xanex, no anti-depressant. One of my HUGE triggers is any sort of stomach issues. ANother huge issue is being...
- I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I had a fun day watching movies and coloring and painting. Hope other people had a good day too. Hugs!
- I've been exploring treatment options for my anxiety, depression, psoriasis, arthritis, irritable bowel and chronic headaches/migraines. For years, I've felt like there has GOT to be a better and more lasting solution.Anyway, I went to see a new...
