Better than earlier but its still there lurking my allergies are bothering me and I am terrified of you know what. I was curious on the depression anxiety connection.

My wife is a pharmacist and she said allergies are pretty prevalent now too. 

Yea my Dr said that this A.M and with everyone being extra heavy with bleach spray and Lysol spray and other chemicals 

I know I seem to be yapping a lot on this site I hope its not annoying to anyone. I just really need to reach out and be around those who can relate. 

So I need advice my adult niece by marriage decided out if boredom to have a cousins only slumber party this weekend at her house. She is the oldest  out of 9 cousins and including my 2  (22 and 16 yrs old) there would have been 7 guests there not including the 4 people who live there. Are me and my hubby wrong to say that our kids can't go? I feel bad being the fun police but I think that's to many people in a regular 3 bedroom row home

Hi all I have health anxiety Ocdwith depression. I take busprione and my Dr just started me back on my Lexapro and kolonopin (to help me calm down until the lexapro kicks in). Of course this pandemic from hell has me as well as all of you on the biggest fear trip out of our lives.

My question is about depression everyone professional like my therapist and Dr. All say that anxiety and depression go hand and hand if you have one you most likely have the other. How is that so? I surely know I am a panic attack over worry queen but the depression part do I have that it seems that I am always so keyed up when would I be down? Any advice

I'm nervous cause I have been sniffling a bit this morning. I wasn't before. Also my anxiety meds are out and the pharmacy won't deliver them and I'm not willing to go out. So I'm stuck without them. 

Is there anyone who can help you out? Iam surprised your drug store won't deliver.

I just had a phone appt. With My Dr. He gave me kolonopin for fast acting and put me back on my lexapro and I have to change up the way I take my buspirone 2 in the morn and 2 at night instead of what I was doing all 4 at night

You are exactly right it has everyone second guessing but if you already have that nature its worse I did short my Dr a message that I need something mild and fast acting to go with my buspirone and how I was feeling. He said i could schedule a video appt. 

Thanks for your advice. I keep asking myself how in the world are we as a people in this crazy scenario like how I have a very hard time with not having answers I guess its the ocd 🤷🤦

I have had health anxiety and ocd for many years and of course in this nightmare what I believe are my sinus or allergies are revving up itchy nose ears itchy mouth I am so scared its you know what I keep feeling like I have to check to make sure I can take a deep breath. I have been trying relaxation and breathing excersises. Every time I think about it here comes a panic attack.  can someone please help me relax

I am beyond stressed and scared. I’m sick right now with what I am assuming is allergies and sinus issues. 

Me too itchy ears nose roof of mouth 

so much for hoping we will follow in the not to long shadow of Korea and china. Their numbers are improving so I would hope the light is at the end of the tunnel down the line considering we are behind them and they are ahead of us

I'm afraid this won't end for a long time and until many are dead. Everyone keeps telling me how people are ignoring it. People I know are locked down, but apparently that's not true everywhere. 

I know you didn't mean to do it but damn I am freaked out for real you just scared the hell out of me

Thanks yup that's it

Has anyone heard of the app sanvello? Its a mental health support app that is free because of covid its full of mindfulness and different helpful things

Here in Philly pick up and drive through only restaurant doors are locked you have to order your food online/app say your name through the door and they pass you the order through the door n lock it right back

Hi. Glad you found your way here. This forun has gotten me through some rough times. I have always had high anxiety but mine turned to health after losing a close friend. I love your news fasting! I need to do that as well.. I never watch the news but I'm bingeing on news articles. I need to stop. I do believe that helps to clear out minds. Big hugs. 

I am starting to look at articles too every time you get online that's all you see on the scroll by thingy. I have to stop. right now my eyes ears and mouth and nose are itchy so its allergies and it comes and goes but nope I catastrophize and assume the worst

I took Lexapro for yrs. for me the withdrawal was so annoying   

I have been on buspirone for yrs. I am at the point now that I feel like its not as affective because I have been on it for so darn long 

I took my 1st kolonopin and lexapro tonight and I feel like I'm a lil jittery I keep waking up. Maybe it keys up your anxiety in the beginning. I am just so nervous I keep nodding off and jumping up out of my sleep

hi all I am new to this site I have been fighting health anxiety and ocd since the 90's so it goes without saying I am a ball of raw nerves that are wound too tight. I have put myself on a news fast.
