Lucid

I'm not going reply line by line.*Hug*Remember you aren't alone!You are aware of what's going on and that is a great starting point!In my very unprofessional opinion I think personally I would change course.Whether it be meds or alternative therapy or doctor or whatever you know!?.Just want to say I can really relate and sometimes you just have to shake things up.You can and will feel better!:)

Welcome Otherside!:)

Morning and welcome Cuchculan:)

I pulled my leg muscle thinking about bowling that much!

Hey BrokenArrow:)Extreme exercise or long distance cardio? Totally agree with Total Eclipse.Keep some liquid in you also.

Opinions are like anus's,everyone has one?lol

Definitely love the water!Are we talking about Poseidon and Sirens?:)

All you drank was whiskey!?lol Hopefully you'll be able to laugh about it later. Anxiety and hangovers are pretty brutal. Get to feeling better:)

I can definitely relate to your last paragraph. Having so much to be thankful for yet kind of taking things for granted while keenly aware of it.It's hard to say if your clinically depressed or going through some ups and downs. I would definitely recommend branching out on positive new things to do. Variety is the spice of life.Good luck!

Doctors aren't gods but if forced to bet I would say things are okay.6 weeks is a lot of time on this.

For years I haven't been able to take antidepressants for unknown reasons(Terrible reactions). A couple of months ago my doctor recommended that I take a DNA/some kind of genetic breakdown test.She strongly suspects that Serotonin Syndrome may be the culprit.I will know the results in a couple of weeks. My ummmm thing is.....why wouldn't you run the test first!? Lol

Are you on medication or have changed medication lately.Being afraid to go to the doctor and being looked at is a common trap set by anxiety.You'll be alright:)

You'll be alright!I can't help but remember my first panic attack. Like getting blindsided by a bus. The good news is once you get some rest you can adapt and adjust and improve things.Once you have identified the problem you have something to work with.(I don't think anyone here has forgotten there first few panic attacks)Wishing you the best:)

You will be missed! You have been helpful and always pleasant to chat with. No need to hold yourself accountable :)We all need a break once in awhile.

Hey valkyrie:)It's not exactly mindfulness but exercise and heavy physical exertion has helped me tremendously. In my experience GAD can't exist while sweating and cutting down a tree.Gl

Really great nuts and bolts conversation. :)I just wanted to add a little on the subjectivity part. That's where things get tricky.Finding the right doctor for yourself is so important. A good doctor can dramatically improve your quality of life.

Hey Reilly:)I have chronic back pain and everything Holls has said I agree with 100 percent. Comfortable shoes,Epson salt baths (Chamomile),applying hot and cold,massage therapy, accupuncture whatever works! Lol It could be something as common as a pinched nerve. Gl:)

You sound pissed!I understand the feeling just remember at some point you have to let it go :)Did I mention that you sound really pissed off?:p

Ok I'm probably way out of line here.I was just thinking what guy says that while lying on a woman's chest. I mean was was he trying to get your bra off?Lol Seriously though it just seems like a bad date and your anxiety was triggered. I apologize if this offensive.

Sounds like one of the worst pick up lines ever :)Try not to worry. I agree with Mark possibly a minor cold or congestion.

Crazy is right lol.I remember the management actively monitoring then filtering/deleting private messages. Seriously wouldn't have believed it if I wouldn't have seen it for myself. Had to find different ways to communicate. Messeddddd up.
