Let’s bring AC back to what it once was!

I joined this site 12 years ago and left when it went through a bad patch. It now seems to have regained some of its activity. It was a vibrant and busy site back then, and I do see that there are still many posts. There is still a great need for those with anxiety to find a 'home' where they can talk to others in the same situation, even more so in today's atmosphere. Many years ago when I had GAD there were no PC's or anything other than books. To be able to communicate with others who were going through anxiety would nave been great, but like so many I thought at first I was alone. I wish everyone on the site all the best. Contrary to what many think it is possible to recover from anxiety given the will. - Earlier

Thank you @Ironman

Welcome back!

The owners do come around. Both Anxiety Central and Anxiety Space. That "6 years" was likely the image left behind and not updated. I have known the owners for years. We were on other forums and saw the same business you have. My forum was "powder blue" lol.

I have been trying to find a mental illness forum for months. This is the 3rd one i found i had an account in, a somewhat memory and my life's changes. But i haven't gotten a chance to see if Anxiety Central was "active". Forums have become a mess throughout the years, thanks to the red one. I have been looking for 2 forums for different things, mental is 1 of them and 3 months of looking and i am almost at the end. I read my posts from 2014 in here, a forum stating it's 6 years old. Which now that i am thinking about it, the owners and runners/volunteers of Anxiety Central don't care about it or just left not telling anyone. -
Hello all, I just found out i have an account in this forum and i joined in 2014 but Anxiety Central is celebrating 6 years. I'm not a math-er kind of guy but 2014 + 6 = 2020 bot 2025..... hmmmm.... Anyway, i am back sort of. 2014 was around the time anxiety started to ruin my life. The past month or so I started looking for a mental health forum. 2 of them i had accounts in but they failed to be forums i could tap with people and just enjoy conversations, through threads. 1 i realized why i left but i still don't know why i didn't have the account closed. The other forum i made 2 posts and no responses came my way for over a week, 1 thread was similar to this thread, not even a like happened and that forum is 90% ads that are everywhere and would pop up while i tapped out a post/thread. I found Anxiety Central a few minutes ago and was told one of my email addresses had an account. A bit odd to me but hopefully i will re-remember joining this forum or a different forum that turned into this forum. I will go look at posts i made 11 years ago and see if that can help me re-remember i joined there forums.

You just had a triumph here. You waited until you got more information. I had to go to the ER a couple of weeks ago after feeling a pop in my ankle while jogging. I had to go in case I did damage - the pop wasn't something I ever dealt with. Three X-rays later, I found out it was just a sprain....but....sometime in the past, I HAD broken a bone in my ankle, and I didn't know it!

Morning update: Still painful but I'm not sure if it's DVT. Again, it's not swollen, red, or debilitating to walk on, but the calf almost feels bruised and while it's warm, it's not any warmer than my other leg. I'm thinking it might just be a muscle strain, but the main caveat is my other leg feels fine, just my left calf is hurting.
-
Backstory: Today I noticed some soreness in my left calf, not the right. At first I wrote it off as a muscle strain as I had done some heavy work in my carport a couple of days prior, but a couple of things worry me: The location of the pain is in a part of my calf and I could see a blue vein that's not as noticeable on my right. It doesn't appear swollen or red nor is it unbearably painful to walk with, but the anxious part of my mind thinks I got a clot about to work its way to my heart and kill me. FWIW I have high blood pressure so IDK if that plays a part or not. Anyone with experience want to talk me down from spiraling

Hey everyone!!! Lets be active on here again! I want to see this awesome forum active and vibrant again!! If you’re going through something, reach out to me!!
-
Thanks. Yeah of course I jump to the worst case scenario on this stuff. Basically,the calcium score will tell me if I should be on a statin or not.
-
I haven't had one. I had to do some reading to determine what a Calcium Heart Scan was. It doesn't look like it has anything to do with the lungs at all. The test is to find out how much calcium is in your arteries that, like plaque, can restrict blood flow through the body and to the brain. I have had a sonogram on my neck to find plaque in my arteries, but not calcium. It takes a CT scan to do the calcium scan,
-
Hey all. I have a calcium heart scan coming up in a few days and was just curious if anyone else has had one of these. Should I worry about it finding something with my lungs?

Life coaching can be very beneficial. I would do research as to who is recommended and what others have said about their experiences.

thanks in advance for any help

Hi everyone, I’ve been considering working with a life coach to help with personal and professional growth. My goals include improving my confidence, staying motivated, and finding balance between work and hobbies. For those who’ve worked with a life coach, what was your experience like? Did it lead to measurable changes in your life, and how did you find the right coach for your needs? I’d love to hear any tips, success stories, or red flags to watch for. Your insights will help me decide if this is the right step.

Hello. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed with these symptoms, especially when they’re so specific and persistent. Anxiety can cause highly localized physical sensations, including numbness, tingling, and pain, due to heightened nerve sensitivity and hyperawareness of your body. Post-surgery nerve healing might also explain the lingering sensations in your hand, as nerve recovery can take time and sometimes trigger misfires like shocks. A clear MRI last year is reassuring, and MS typically progresses visibly over time. However, if these new symptoms are significantly different, discussing them with your neurologist is a good idea. They can guide whether another MRI or additional tests are necessary.

I've absolutely gone through this exact thing years ago, and yes, it's definitely stress/anxiety/depression related. I'd gone through all the medical tests at the time, and it all boiled down to anxiety. This too shall pass, my friend.
-
Stress can trigger anxiety. The anxiety pattern is a distraction. We actually thrive is these situations because we are used to the anxious condition.
-
Yesterday I decided to take it for what it is, stress, anxiety, and normal to forget things or mix things up sometimes. I had good peace most of the day. I decided not to focus on small triggers, and there were a few. Instead I just noticed them and moved on as I knew I should. It helped me not even spike worry on some. Today I have had a few s well, but overall, not worrying about it. Stress and business is messing with me.
-
You're overloading yourself and then freaking out about things that you can't balance on that overloaded plate. At that point, you have to stop and assess what you can handle and let the rest go.
-
You were right too. I have been getting that spacey feeling lately. It’s usually when my anxiety and “memory” issues are freaking me out too.

This continues to crop back up randomly. Nothing major, but little things. Had a contractor at my house early yesterday morning and he asked me for my insurance card, I gave him my health insurance card. Took me about 5 minutes to realize he needed my home insurance, not health insurance card. Today I realized I had an in office lunch that was set about two months ago. Totally forgot about it probably due to how far out it was and I didn't check my calendar ahead. Still, adds to the pile. This morning, telling my wife I was going to wear certain shoes, two minutes later saying I might wear these others shoes only to have her remind me that I just said I was wearing those shoes. Then again later talking about a basketball game the following night, only to forget there was a game and that we had talked about it. Once my memory was jogged, I did remember talking about it. But I had to be reminded to bring those to the surface. Why won't this just stop? Or why can't I just ignore the little things that are probably simple misses when thinking about other things? So frustrating. This thing goes away for months and then slams into me again and works overtime to convince me there is truly a problem. 😞

Meh - distractions happen. Stress happens. It's all good.
