Thanks for responding I am not allowed to Google symptoms because of my health anxiety ocd dr. And therapist orders for yrs now. This worldwide nightmare is a super nightmare for us mental health folks We all need each other to lean on

I am trying not to freak my sinuses behind my ears are draining and my ears are full and sore i can feel the congestion behind my ears and the itching ughhhhh am i ok? i keep deep breathing and when they drain its clear i have been using the neti pot and flonase and claritin freaking out over here

Hi all I have been a long time health anxiety ocd fighter. I have been on lexapro 30mg was my max and buspirone for at least 10 yrs. But last fall i was taken off and tried welbutrin. Well the wellbutrin didnt help with my ocd as well as we thought. So since the new yr i have just been taking my buspirone 40mg a day. Well thanks to the new pandemic of terror I have been restarted on 10 mg of lexapro as well as .5 mg of klonopin temporarily until the lexapro levels out. I have been on the 10mg for a little over 2 wks. On Tuesday my psychiatrist uped it to 20mg and it feels like my anxiety, jitters, and obsessive thoughts are flaring back up since i doubled up. Its been so long since i restarted this med I forgot what it can feel like. Any lexapro people out there who can offer advice ty

I have been on 10 mg of lexapro for almost 2 wks. 2 days ago my psychiatrist uped it to 20mg and it feels like my anxiety, jitters, and obsessive thoughts are flaring up its almost 6am i have been up since 4am is there any advice out there thanks

Here in Philadelphia we had crazy violent storms yesterday with 70mph winds and then today boom allergies

Here I go sinuses are draining into my ears or behind my ears. Keep clearing my throat and my throat and ears itch yup I am trying not to freak out i am practicing my square breathing nice and deep to relax and check my lung capacity it started as soon as i opened the window this a.m

I Was on lex for almost 10 yrs with gradual increase over time my most was 30mg over last fall I was weened off to try something new long story short I just started my lex back up 2 wks ago at 10 mg. The worst I can say is the 4 to 6 wks to build up in your bloodstream which is why I also have kolonopin temporarily until it kicks in. The second is the withdrawals can be tricky if not done correctly. Which I have a bad habit of. If I have a good few wks or months I will start skipping days and weeks and throw myself out of wack. I have also been on buspirone for over 10 yrs as well

Welcome we are all here if you ever want someone to listen or vent anxiety is a very scary thing don't be mad at yourself. My ears are always open

Could be trapped gas it can get all in your back and sides sometimes even makes my heart flutter I get up bend move all different wiggly ways and boom lol life of reflux and gerd

Hey honey there is nothing silly about your fear. I would feel the same way. Its a big shock to the system to go from urban hustle and bustle to living in the woods. Try headphones and meditation relation sounds on you tube. Me myself I sleep with my TV on. Say this scripture Protect me Oh God for in you I put my trust Psalms 16

Omg your parents need to be locked up the way you were just because of you being on the spectrum. I can't imagine damn child services should have locked them up. I have my own share or drama growing up but nothing compared to your pain I was raised by maternal aunt who is more like my mom to this day because my mom was a crack addicted vagrant in the neighborhood which was so embarrassing because all my friends knew her from the neighborhood before she got addicted she was a pretty neighborhood mom like all the other moms. but she kept making babies. I'm the oldest at 44 when I was 13 my sister was born my aunt took us legally buy the other 3 that followed no body else n the family would step up to help so they were taken by the state. Because my sister has severe disability blind dwarfism and a bunch of other stuff rare genetic disorder and my aunt couldn't take all 5. Then there was the molestation by and older cousin who was my sitter. While my aunt was at work who to this day nobody knows about it as he is the Golden child.

Don't be so hard on yourself with everything that's going on right now take small steps make workout stuff around the house two water jugs can be weights or laundry bottles. Walking/running up and down the steps or my personal fave look up low impact workout classes on YouTube me personally I love to dance so my kids and I look up zumba classes and hip hop aerobics if you are having fun doesn't feel like excersize

I went from 316 to 290 in a 2 1/2 wks now I am so off track I used to be a size 26 women's now I am a 18 which is great but I should be smaller by now

Best way to loose weight it is proven because I had to do in for 2 was before my weight loss surgery back in 2018 cut all carbs Eat all the veggies and lean meats you want protein burns fat it really worked I was like damn I should have been doing that all along and I would not have needed the surgery lol 1200 cal. Protein n veggies lots of garlic to lower pressure apple cider vunegar is good for pressure too and tumeric is great for inflammatory issues ginger is great for digestion
