i have experienced panic attacks since i was in high school, but they’re typically very rare and their cause is easily identifiable (stress at school or whatever), but lately they are getting more frequent and scary. i just experienced probably the worst one ever (my hands are still trembling ) and i think i [...]

Not a good Friday, I just received my Mental Health evaluation for S.S.I disability.

I’m not feeling to good today, actually it’s my stress. I knew I was a stress case, but my MH doctor wrote a lot of things that she never told me about in my disability qualification letter. I wonder if she is [...]

Kind of a strange question, but let me try to explain.
I honestly don’t know where this comes from, but everytime I see or hear about my girlfriend drinking I have this serious negative reaction where I get really angry/upset, my heartrate goes way up, and my stomach turns in knots. It’s f’ing weird, and it [...]

I seem to have reached my stress threshold yet again. It’s 1:15 in the morning and I can’t sleep. Of course, I went the route of self-medication and drank a bit of scotch but I forgot that I hadn’t drank in a while and that it would only put me in a depressive mood. What [...]

I don’t see why these psychiatrists don’t understand this. I’ve been Xanax for 3+ months and its been a godsend to me. I can function and leave my house without and panic attacks. It works fairly quickly and just gives me the edge to go about my day and get my shit [...]

My question is, what do the anxiety meds out there do. The issue I have is once an attack starts towards the [...]

I think I had a panic attack tonight. I was reading a book that gave a description of the afterlife. I would post what it said, but I don’t want to have another one.
Anyway, it triggered me thinking of death and the fact that one day I might have the same [...]

i have a history of mild social anxiety but have never been so bad that i needed meds for it. It’s always been more of a fear of talking in front of a big group or being the center of attention. I lost my job in January this year and since then i’ve become pretty [...]

Maybe "OCD" isn’t the correct term, but I find myself thinking about money constantly. My mind is consumed with the notion of acquiring and building wealth to the extent that it’s intruding upon my daily activities.
I think it all stems from a fear of not having enough money. I was talking to my [...]
