- Hi everyone, I've had CFS for the past 8 months. My last MAJOR crash was 8 months ago. I've made a lot of progress since then. I've worked hard at pacing myself, paid more attention to getting adequate sleep, and practiced positive self-talk....
- So today I was feeling pretty well. I got up, made breakfast, showered/got ready, drove to get lunch with a friend, and then came home and took my dog on a 25 minute walk. When I finally got home after all of this my energy took an extreme nose dive...
- My fianc and I were invited to go to a friend's 25th birthday party tonight. They were going to have a cook out and then go to the bars. I urged my fianc to go because I knew he really wanted to see all of our friends. I ended up staying home. I'm...
- So this is just a rant that I was thinking about while lying awake all last night. I know several people who have attained physically injuries (like from accidents, etc...) and receive an outpouring of support from family and friends (and even...
- Have you ever felt so tired that even changing position while sitting or lying down was a great effort? I've never experienced this kind of exhaustion before. I will be sitting at my desk and simply standing up makes me feel like my whole body is...
- I've had chronic insomnia now for the past 3 months straight. I don't have a problem falling asleep, I have a major problem staying asleep. On a really bad night I'll get 1-3 hours of sleep then wake up and I'll be wide awake for the rest of the...
- On April 12th I took a small vacation to Arizona and noticed I was feeling unusually tired (I had a lot going on at work though so I chalked it up to stress). While at the mall I had a mini-panic attack (dry mouth, racing heart, feeling...
- In 2012 I had a bad bout of insomnia. It was due to issues with anxiety and it lasted 5-6 weeks straight (getting very little sleep each night and trying to hold down my job). I over came it with a little Xanax (for the really tough nights) and some...
- Hi everyone,Over the past year I've struggled with off and on exhaustion and fatigue. For example, one day I was at the mall and all of a sudden the muscles in my legs started burning and feeling extremely heavy like I needed to sit down and rest....
- My step-mom, dad, and younger sister rarely go out of their way to contact me. These are the three main people I grew-up with. My step-mom has been my "mother-figure" since I was about 3-years-old.I currently live 3.5 hours away from home and they...
- I'm 24-years-old and drowning in medical bills because of my out of control hypochondria. I've had tests done that the majority of healthy 24-year-olds don't even need to have done:For "heart problems:"EKG (about 5 times)Echo-cardiogram24 hour...
- I have a history of panic attacks and generalized anxiety disorder. I went through a bad stretch of attacks about 6 months ago and was prescribed 1 mg Alprazolam (Xanax generic). It works like a charm but I use it very sparingly (up until last night...
- In October of 2012 I developed insomnia after what I considered to be a "nervous breakdown." My insomnia happened every night for about 5 straight weeks. I have suffered with anxiety for years and one morning my heart was beating extremely fast when...
- For the past three months I've consistently woken up with a racing heart. Some mornings it's not racing as fast as others, but it's still very unnerving when it happens. I recently had blood tests, an EKG, and wore a 24 hour Holter monitor. Blood...
- I've had anxiety since I was in elementary school. A couple months ago it had gotten pretty bad (my doctor prescribed me Xanax, which was a life saver). I only take Xanax as absolutely needed so I don't become addicted to it (I haven't taken it in...
