I am a 50 year old female that has been suffering from anxiety for about 4 years. It started when I was going through my change. I am going to a doctor who treats me. I would like to talk to others with this condition for there ideas how they cope with the symptoms. I am a very sensative and caring person. I’ve been going to school to change my vocation. The stress of school has brought back some anxiety.

i have alot of depression and anxiety.

My name is Veronica, I live in Ohio. Im 19 years old (20 soon) and I have been living with Social Anxiety and Anxiety/panic attacks since I was a little child. I enjoy hanging out with close personal freinds and I dont do parties and stuff that a normal 19 year old does. Wanna know anything else about me, ask me. Im always willing to chat with people.

My mother has alzheimers and my step-dad just passed away. He was her buffer and also kept her aware of things. Since I am the only one of the siblings that lives around here it falls on me to do whatever needs to be done. I need someone to talk to. Besides that I am a single parent with a disabled daughter still at home. My sons are on their own so I carry the “load” myself. Mom is getting to the point where she is very impatient with me. Usually I go to see her every day but don’t have much emotional/physical strength to continue to do so. She lives in assisted care so I hope she is getting good care. She probably can’t understand that I need time to take care of my daughter and myself too.

I believe I have had this condition as far back as I can remember. I thought for years it was depression but now I think that my problems stem from SAD. So I would like to touch base with others and how they cope and try to learn to live fear free. Just typing this down my stomach is in knots and I feel on the verge of tears.

I have an Anxiety disorder and I’m looking for some ways to help control it.

I have had anxiety and Panic Attacks most of my life…7 years ago I had some health problems and after a surgery I had a Pulmonary Embolism… This brought my panic back along with all diferent types of fears… this time the panic seemed different as I worried about dying all the time… I had many body symptoms related to the panic disorder that caused me so much fears… I began to fead into the fears all the time and ended up in a vicious cycle… my life got smaller and smaller… It was not untill I began to understand and gain knowledge about the disorder that I was able to move forward with the tools I learned… I have moved past the fear with lots of hard work and trust on my part understanding that I kept the cycle going by feading into the feelings with fear… I come to these support group to offer my help by sharing what worked for me hoping people can see that there is hope for recovery…Sonny

I am currently experiencing chest wall pain in my upper chest.

I THOUGHT I WAS A TOGETER PERSON BUT IN THE PAST TWO YEARS HAVE HAD EPISODES OF ANXIETY,I KNOW THE EXACT DATE IT STARTED AND TRY TO TELL MY SELF I HAVE NO CONTROL AND TO GIVE IT TO GOD,BUT I’M A STUPID FLESH AND BONE SINNER AND HAVE TROUBLES. TAKE A BLOOD PRESSURE MED (LOW ACE INHIBITOR LISINNOPRIL 10 MG) AND A HALF A AMBIEN TO SLEEP. WHENEVER I TAKE MY BLOOD PRESSURE AT HOME ITS 121/82 THEN I GET TO THE DRS AND ITS 160/110 AND IT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME AND I FEEL REALLY ANXIOUS. WHATS THE DEAL AND IS THER ANYONE OUT THERE FEELING THE SAME?? I AM A HEALTHY ACTIVE 49 YEAR OLD WORKING GRANDMOTHER OF 3 AND AM NOT OVER WEIGHT AND EXERCISE.

I am 28 or will be on 2-8-07 and I have one biological daughter (4) and two step daughters (6) (2) I dearly want to have another child perhaps a little boy!!! I love my family and would love to build on it!

I’m interested in finding out what support I can be or give to someone who has Social Anxiety Disorder.

I’ve been dealing with anxiety for about five years and I want to find out more about this condition and meet others who share this problem.

I’m here to find people that have the same problems that I do and to research and get opinions and advice. Also to give opinions and advice, I have alot of experience unfortunetely.

I've had anxiety problems since 1991.  It comes and goes, but has been an ongoing thing for about 16 months now.  SSRI's and SSNRI's don't work.  I have been on a steady "diet" of benzo's to keep it in check.  Other than feeling groggy and droopy, they work ok.  I'd rather find one med that wipes the depression and the anxiety out all in one swallow.
