News of Anxiety Disorder NOS

I have recently split up with my girlfriend who I was with for about a year and a half. We split up because I have commitment phobia and anxiety problems and I constantly question everything and look for bad points in her and occasionally have panic attacks which cause me to run away.

It started just under 2 years ago and we were really happy. About 9 months down the line though I saw a ...

There is no other way to explain my situation unless I take you back to Febuary of last year. This is a desperate grasp for help that I feel I need. I need comfort and support right now.

I was a very destructive and rebellious teenager. I listened to degrading music, drank heavily, sliced and beat myself. Well, one night I had drank so much whisky, I passed out, 12 hours later, I woke up ...

I find it hard to get back on task after having a conversation with someone, even if it's just saying, "hey" or a wave/nod. I seem to scrutinize every part of the interaction afterwords in my mind, and attempt to pick out the imperfections. Meanwhile, whatever I was doing before has now been temporarily put off, and forgotten about for the moment. Sometimes it will put me off pondering, for atleast 10 seconds? This seems ...

I for sure have anxiety, but is that my only problem?

suggestions, comments, recomendations appreciated.

-sitting at the front of the class makes me VERY uncomfortable; i'm worried I will twitch (which seems to be a problem, even when i'm alone, more so at school) I'd rather put my head down and daydream (pretend im sleeping) even if i'm not tired. (mostly leg twitches)

-im a crappy communicator, I think way too much before I ...

Hi ......... does smoking make things worse for you ?

I wanna know more about my diseas.

I'm currently seeing a doctor because of the possibility I have AS or PDD-NOS.

I've told my doctor that I have:

Problem with reading peoples moods unless it comes out as an extreme, I can't really even imagine anything that isn't extreme.
It goes to point such as people saying things and laughing and I have no clue if they are joking or being serious.

I have problems following along with or keeping conversations going. ...

I don't know much about pills.
Would it be a good idea to take klonopin for my anxiety disorder?

I've been thinking about getting put on pills but pills freak me out. I don't want anti-depressants, just something for anxiety.
(And plus I love drinking and right now I love lortabs, and I don't want to get on klonopins and end up dying. So would I have to quit all of that?)

Has anyone else ...

Hi, I have been suffering with strange thoughts and pains in my head / chest for a while now and my doctor believes I suffer from anxiety. I have had all the normal tests like ECG, blood-tests etc etc and I have now been refer-ed to a service called PLATT, They have sent me a letter saying the want to do a 30-45 min assessment. well all I have done since i got this letter ...

My name is Steve, and I'm 15 years old. I am afraid of confrontation with almost anyone except my closest friends. I have terrible self-esteem. I'm 5'6 and weigh 159 lbs, which everyone tells me isn't that bad, but I always feel fat, and ugly to those around me. I feel like I'm lesser than other people, that are more popular than me. I often drift into fantasies and wish I were those people.
My ...

And I think I've always have. I'm a 40 year old man that has such low self esteam that I've never had a girlfriend (at least not one that I had for more than a week or one that I really liked), I believe that I can't do anything without someone else being there. IT'S EASY TO PUT THIS IN A MESSAGEBOARD WHERE NOBODY CAN SEE YOU OR KNOWS YOU, BUT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ...
