- I have a good friend whose company I do enjoy and she has done a lot to help me. However, whenever we get together I have to pull myself out of a mood slump afterward. She's the mother of two very small children and she has had it rough with them....
- My husband talked to the neighbors about their loud parties, so what do they do? They have the loudest party yet. We finally called the cops last night and just like that it was perfectly quiet next door. It's the next day and I'm still upset. I am...
- I was feeling much better and then, over the past few days I've just lost all motivation. I am still getting myself out of the house to run an errand or two, but I'm doing the bare minimum. Also, my insomnia is back. I wake up every night in the...
- Ugh, I have always had a terrible habit of procrastinating. My anxiety is one source of this because I avoid things that stress me out. I'm also a perfectionist, so I have a hard time tackling things out of a fear of failure. Now that I am feeling...
- I thought I'd share this because it brought me so much relief in the past few weeks. A friend of mine suggested it to me when I told her I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. She had been using this meditation for years to deal with her...
- I'm feeling worlds beyond the way I felt six weeks ago when I finally sought professional help for my disorder. I hope it continues, but I know if I have setbacks, I can hang in there and have more bright days. It's just a relief to know that it can...
- I just wanted to say hi, everybody. I have been on DS for a few weeks now, seeking support for anxiety. I was recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. However, I have suffered from depression since I was a teenager, about 23 years now....
- I have never posted in this group before. I came to Daily Strength after being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and I joined the anxiety support group. My anxiety fuels or is fueled by a flood of negative, worrying and catastrophic...
- I've been on Lexapro for three weeks now. I've been at the full dosage for one week. My anxiety is better, but it's not like it's gone. Just muffled or something. However, I feel sluggish and unmotivated. My energy level is as low as ever since all...
- So, I know a major trigger for me. It's noisy neighbors. My husband took me out for a lovely Valentine's dinner last night. I was really happy and we had a great time, but when we got back to the house there were about ten cars parked in front of...
- It's Friday and I survived my busy week. It was the first week I returned to a full schedule since I took time off to deal with my anxiety for the first time in my life. I was afraid I would lose it at some point but I didn't. When the anxiety...
- Feeling a bit down and negative this morning. I became a military spouse less than two years ago. Right off the bat, we moved overseas. It has been a huge adjustment for me. At one time, I was used to a busy, career-oriented life. I've tried so...
- Hi everybody. I thought I would just share this excellent article about digital detoxing: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/fashion/digital-detox-email-smartphone-social-media.htmlI've been thinking about unplugging from social media for awhile. I...
- Well, it has been a month since my anxiety drove me to seek professional help. Since then, I've been doing everything I could to sort it out - cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, deep breathing, improving my sleep routine, yoga, meditation, and...
- It has been about a month since I was diagnosed with GAD. Since then, I've been doing everything I can to kick it - counseling, medication, yoga, self-help books. I just want to get it behind me so I can go back to my (frenetic) life. I know this...
