News of Anxiety Disorders

I would like to get some opinions from whoever is willing to give one. I was told when I was a teenager that I was bi-polar. I was on prozac my doctor took me off of that because its side effects were increasing my symptoms (insomnia and lack of appetite). He then tried me on Lithum (I might have misspelled that) which made me shake so bad I almost dropped my tray while waitressing and ...

I have been suffering with anxiety for a while now and have found this to be good for taking the edge off my general anxiety. I've not been on it long but I'm experiencing very light but noticeable confusion.

Has anyone had any kind of strange effects through taking this ? It's not really a problem because as I said it generally helps me.

Thanks

Seeing that Ocd is very relentless I have stumbled across a method that helps me move on to doing other things.

Ocd is very petty and doesnt like being ignored.

But instead of completely ignoring it (in which case its strength seems to multiply) what I hope to do is as follows :-

Since Ocd's trick is to get me to try to enter into a power show with it by forcefully resisting it for ...

I just wanna vent a little bit and go over my past and present difficulties. I won't go over the details of myself in this introduction, i just wanna tell my frustrations to people.

I don't wanna seem like a cry baby.. It's just i went to a SAD forum thinking i had that, and they said go to a therapist.. Easy for them to say! That really pisses me off when i get replies ...

This may sound like a stupid question, but what exactly happens during a panic attack? I mean i've read some of the medical descriptions and all but they are very general or don't seem quite like what happens to me. I never really thought I had them, just thought I was a little crazy(although every one is a little crazy I suppose), but a week ago or so a friend was describing to me how ...

I know you guys are going to think i am just plain nuts. I have SAD I also am seeing a PHD however I find it hard to open up. It is not that I want to hide anything from her it is just that I am always thinking...what if I say yes and she thinks I am weird? so, due to that I will say no when I should have said yes. Does this ...

For the past five-six weeks or so I've been feeling dizzy - pretty much all the time. Not a "true vertigo" but more a sense of imbalance - like wearing the wrong prescription glasses. I have also had other symptoms which have been much more "on and off" - nausea, feelings of intense pressure in my head and neck, tingling in right arm and leg, some muscle twitching, weakness and fatigue and severe loss of ...

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I've been dating my bf for over a year and he has noticed that I do weird repetitive things throughout the day. First it started off as something everyone does. Like say you say something you don't want to happen so you "Knock on wood" Sounds stupid I know. Well anyways my last name happens to be Wood so I used to use that phrase as a way of ...

Okay, so I'd bet a body part (just a small one, like a finger or toe) that I do have GAD. I think I've always had it, actually. See, a few months ago I had an anxiety attack that brought the ambulance to my house because I was hyperventilating so badly that I was paralyzed. I've had massive headaches my whole life with no explanation, and I'm the biggest worry-wort that I've ever met. And ...

Hey all, I've basically had anxiety to where it has been affected my life negatively since I was 19...I'm now 28. My major problem has been that I have developed agoraphobia and haven't been able to pursue what I really want in life...I'm a very accomplished musician and really want to tour...The thing is, I travel pretty freely in my own city (Portland, OR) and have done some shows as well, although I have had ...
