But now unfortunately I feel like i am going back to that dream like state. I have been on a total of 100mg of zoloft a day for about 4 months now and 1mg of clonazepam if needed.

I was doing fine taking just .5mg of clonazepam and the zoloft but lately i have been feeling "weird" again. ...

I've always had things I do that fit into this catagory, but I didn't know there was a name for it. I avoid talking on the phone, by all means. If someone tells me they're going to call me the next morning (even if it's someone I know) I worry about it all night, what I'm going to say & how they might react to me. I avoid being the center of attention by all ...

Hi! I'm seeing a counselor who is pretty much convinced that I have OCD, and I just want a second opinion from people who are more familiar with it (this guys a little nutty).

Anyone have any success using Remeron and I'm curious if anyone has went through what I'm going through?

I was smoking a LOT of marijuana for a year straight and didn't realize that it messed with neurotransmitters in your brain causing depression issues. Well, my system crashed and I had anxiety, complete loss of libido, nervousness, insomnia, etc.

The worst part of this whole thing isn't the nervousness, anxiety, it's the COMPLETE and total loss ...

I am 36 six years old and have been suffering from what I believe is an General Health Anxiety disorder (self diagnosed). It started for me about 7 years ago and has plagued me ever since. I have been convinced that I have had a brain tumor, a lump in my throat, colon cancer, and heart problems, just to name a few. In each instance, I have sought help from medical professionals, Internal Medicine, ENT, ...

Okay, the problem that I am having is very strange and, I daresay, quite unique. I’m worried that I am the only one with any issue even remotely comparable to this and, thus, cannot get any help for it.

A while ago I was having trouble sleeping at night due to stress of university exams and the like. However, while obsessing over this I came to focus on the act of breathing, and that is ...

i've been agoraphobic on and off for a few years now and i'm only 23. I can pinpoint when it started,I got badly bullied at school and i suffer with B.D.D and O.C.D becasue of that but it's been pretty bad ever since.
I havn't left my house now for about a year except to go for rides with parents shopping and working every once in a while. I won't get out of the car ...

I've started trying to stop some of my compulsions (night time checking rituals). The more progress I make with stopping those rituals, the worse my cleaning and germ obsessions/compulsions grow. Even though I'm making progress on stopping some of my checking rituals, I feel as if I am just getting worse because so many of my other obsessions/compulsions are getting worse so quickly. I feel overwhelmed.

I don't know what to do though. I know ...

I've always have problems with anxiety, but I've been able to control it by leaving the situation, running away you could say. I'm engaged and for the first time I can't run. I've dated every kind of guy and only been able to committ to one other relationship which ended up with my ex-boyfriend sleeping with the girl in the apartment below me. So I finally meet this wonderful guy and we are engaged but ...

Hello all,

I have posted on several forums here, but I think it's time I concentrate on this Social Anxiety one.

My social phobia, with my shyness and hypersensitivity, is probably the biggest problem I have in terms of living in a world of people who I can't seem to connect with in a satisfying and lasting way. It's Extremely lonely.

I thought maybe I can get through some of this trepidation I have with ...
