- I thought it would be fun and perhaps enlightening to share our personality types. If you don't know what your personality is according to the Meyers-Brigg personality indicator, there are a lot of free tests you can take online which will give you...
- This made my day and I had to share in the hopes it might make you smile, too, and inspire you.In the video, Buddhist monks give a breakdancing tribute to Beastie Boy Adam 'MCA' Yauch, who died a year ago from cancer. Yauch was a longtime supporter...
- Today is the day I was dreading since the beginning of the year. I was asked ages ago to teach a painting class through the the ed center on the military base here and ever since I agreed to it my anxiety about it has been very high. I think it...
- This is a great TED talk on how practicing gratitude in your daily life will make you happier and change the world. Had to share! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtBsl3j0YRQ
- So, recently my doctor prescribed Ativan to use as needed for acute anxiety. I took it a couple of times and it did nothing for me. So, she wrote me a prescription for Klonopin as needed in place of the Ativan. I tested out the Klonopin last night....
- For the past several months I've been working hard to manage my anxiety. I've been using cognitive therapy techniques. I journal, meditate and I do yoga almost every day. I'm also taking 20mg of lexapro. When I last saw my doctor she said I wasn't...
- Having a bad day. My husband is out of town for six weeks. Last night, we were talking on the phone and got into an argument. Long and the short of it is, he feels like he can't do anything right and then I feel like a horrible person for making him...
- The last time I went to my doctor, she thought I wasn't doing as well as she hoped on the Lexapro that she prescribed for me. This is because I admitted I still have to force myself to get out of the house sometimes due to anxiety. So, she gave me...
- Do you ever feel convinced you know what someone else is thinking? I do this all the time and it drives me crazy. It's usually if I'm in a conflict with someone who I think is targeting me passive aggressively or if I just get a negative vibe from...
- Did you know there may be a link between allergies and depression/anxiety? Did you know that the largest number of suicides occur between April and June? Doctors think this may be due to the increase of cytokines, a chemical linked to the immune...
- I just saw my doctor and after a lot of poking and prodding about my symptoms, she said she thought I was understating my them. I tried to convey that I've been having only about one or two truly bad days most weeks, which I thought was a big...
- I thought for kicks we could share what we do to relax and/or combat our anxiety. Ever since I was little, I've loved to have a "spa day." I got this from my mom. We would spend an afternoon doing our nails or makeup or some kind of homemade facial....
- Well, I've been feeling so much better. Worlds better, in fact, since I started with this group. I think it has been the yoga, therapy, healthier eating, less caffein and alcohol, and the right meds. At any rate, a couple of weeks ago something...
- I made it! I've been off Facebook for a whole month. I set a goal to unplug a month ago and it ended two days ago. I even stretched it for one more day and, when I logged back on, I saw tons of notifications and lots of friends who left messages...
- Hi there. I haven't posted a whole lot in this group. I've been focusing on my anxiety disorder. But I think the more I work on my anxiety, the more depressed I feel. I'm not sure if this is the antidepressant (I'm taking Lexapro and I thought it...
