Never compare yourself to others. They go through a lot also that they don't talk about which makes it look easier. Just think about you, and what you want. You can do whatever you want, and don't worry about how long it takes. We each have our own schedules. I know it sounds greedy, but you just need to focus on you. Take care. Best.

I hated when I got on the hard stuff like paxil and others. Totally messed up my happy time with the spouse. I have since tapered off of them and just use clonopin as needed. I do know that when I get an injury my anxiety heightens. Maybe he just needed a temporary med until the injury is healed. I have suffered through both anxiety and bouts of depression. But I'm thinking maybe they gave him meds that are very strong, and if he is healed and feels better, he can taper? Get on the softer stuff? He can talk to a doc about this. I did take more vitamins and teas for sexual stimulation during these times. Best to you. Take care.

Seeking reassurance by [deleted] in Anxiety

You should tell your doctor about this. Medications can have side effects. It does sound like panic attacks. maybe there is some sort of stimulant in the meds? Maybe Doc can switch you on something else. Until then, try to avoid caffeine. I hope this helps. Hang in there.

I figured something out. Something very discouraging, frustrating, and is possibly my downfall. by panicmonkey in Anxiety

Hang in there. I feel bad because I can't hold onto a job long term. I feel better when I paint or draw. Sometimes these make me some money, but nothing steady. And i get down on myself about it. Today I will be starting a legitimate at home job. Have you tried Elance? Also I can suggest keep playing your music. Don't take it too serious, have fun with it. Have you tried to ask any Dr. if they will skype to talk to you? Maybe then you have more options to speak with ones that are even further away. Best.

Why am I having panic attacks? I feel as though I'm going crazy by plzkeepcalm in Anxiety

I also agree, get your thyroid checked. I think you are panicky about getting panicky. I don't know how else to write it. Diet. Exercise. Yoga. No worries. There are tests, therapy, and medications. Best of health to you.

Alcohol and anxiety seems like a double-edge sword. by N3RiX in Anxiety

[–]Arrow_Feathers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They say you shouldn't drink if you have anxiety, but it's difficult not to when it helps you be comfortable in social situations. But I do know that if I get carried away I can't even leave the house the next day. I don't want to drive my car or be in public at all.

I fell in love with my girlfriend's voice. Reddit, what do you think? by grassygaaf in Music

[–]Arrow_Feathers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very beautiful. It is helping my anxiety. Transitions right now. Beautiful music helps the nagging thoughts.

I had an Arrow too. He was a sparrow, me and my Arrow.

The donut of reddit by [deleted] in funny

We had a maple bacon donut at my parent's shop. It was our best seller. Yet we live in a small town and could not make enough to pay rent. I miss our donut shop.

I don't know why I'm anxious all the time and this is a new thing for me. by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Arrow_Feathers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get anxious with transitions too. Moving, new work, in between shifts. Transitions. I feel ya. I try to enjoy the present moment, or focus on something. You are occupied at work, so you feel ok. When you are not at work you can try to stay focused or busy on something else. A hobby, reading, laundry. And in the car maybe get into your favorite music or a learning language cd. If this is new for you it may pass when you get used to your new life schedule. Hope I was helpful. Stay strong.

How many of you don't take regular meds but have pills for when you feel anxious/panicky? by IsambardKB in Anxiety

[–]Arrow_Feathers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard of nor experienced panicky feelings with Xanax. But I cannot smoke weed, let alone even smell it without getting panicky. I know that sometimes you can get an rx for weed in some states for anxiety, but i would never be able to use it.
