I have had anxiety my entire life and taken various meds for it, I have changed jobs recently for a better position I thought but it did not work out and in the middle of training for this new job I lost my mother and we were very close now I seem to have panic and anxiety all the time, not so much during the day but at night when I get still to go to sleep my heart wakes me up pounding and I have this awful burning in my stomach and I want to cry all the time. I just don’t feel well and I’m still trying to find a job. On top of that I’m cleaning out mothers house and I have a husband that I can’t talk to or who really does not care about how I feel so I’m pretty much alone here. My heart is racing and skipping beats, I feel sweaty everything that goes with this condition.
I have had panic since age 8 Ahorribble existance as NO ONE knew of this disease back then!. I am 33 and its back worse than ever! I just want someone who knows and can relate. My husband is sooo strong and does not understand this “nonscence”
I am Bipolar, and although they say it is mild, and I can believe that, at times it is very difficult to live with, esp. when I start going into an episode. I want to connect with other people that are bipolar, and esp. when I’m beginning to go into a crisis stage, or episode. I need someone to talk right then that really understands. Sometimes I’m fine, and can be encouraging to others, but when I’m on the down side, I’m no fun to be around. Even lately, my manics are no fun. I have a chronic kidney failure condition, with one kidney as well, so the doctor had to reduce my meds for the bipolar. So now I’m taking only 150 mg. of Welbutrin, as compared to 300 and only 600 mg. of the Neurontin, as compared to 1800 mgs., so the manics are breaking through. I’m a rapid cycler any way, so any reduction in my mood stabilizer can really affect me. So hopefully, I’ll find people in here just like me

Am concerned about weight gain. Have begun Cymbalta therapy and discontinued Wellbutrin. Already gained weight, perhaps ten pounds in less than a week to ten days.I cannot deal with any weight gain. Body image distortion would exacerbate all the situations I am already dealing with. My depression is of course biochemical, but the context of my life is quite challenging right now. Weight gain would create further crisis. First posting and question. HELP please, Community?

Anxiety creates my depression creating avoidance while alienating my “self.” Through self taught, counseling, and training I want to chop this cycle into bits and pieces while accepting the flow of positive, negative, and neutral energy which surrounds every creature on earth. I have self doubts though I can actually, finally see myself growing though life is a challenge. I am determined. I am very glad I bumped into this web page. Thank you.

My name is Miriam
I have been diagnosis with drepression and anxiety.
Right at this moment, I am in very bad situation.
I am taking Lexapro.
I am a 58 year old female that was told last year I have RA. I suffered for about 6 months. Then this January my Doc put me on Remicade. I have had 2 infusions and I must say I have no pain and am not stiff in the mornings. It is wonderful. I have a full time job and do a few things on the side. I have a 19 yr old grandson living with me. He is a very busy senior that is working on a full ride scholarship with sports. So I am on the go most of my waking moments. I need to feel good.

Not too sure what I will find here. However, I have been having anxiety for awhile now, kind of came out of nowhere yet I just welcomed it. Trying to figure out how to cope with it and get rid of it…Any help would be great!
