I was diagnosed with bipolar in January of 2006

I have bipolar disorder and really have no one to talk to about it.

Just looking for some people who understand me, and looking to vent a little.

Would like to make friends and be able to chat with people who suffer from the same or help others who live with sufferers. Also have OCD and Anxiety, at times the paranoia and guilt are overwhelming, resulting in complete isolation and the feeling of being rejected … I dread each day as am rapid cycling, everything gets completely out of control, my thoughts, my actions, and it just feels theres no way out…

i had social and general anxiety for 30 years and now am recovered. now i want to help support people with it.

I have a number of problems starting with post tramatic stress. artheritus, degeneritive disc disease, and spinal stenousis.

I have not had alot of satisfactory results from the doctors I’ve and I have to wonder sometimes if they are totally incompitant or they are are giving me the bums rush.

Ether way the results are the same.

I have suffered from a series of anxiety attacks since in my 20s and care to learn more about the condition, and possibly normalize myself more and more in relating to others that have experienced similar things.

This is an account of 1 woman’s battle to overcome social phobia (a painfully extreme form of being shy) and generalized anxiety. A debilitating disorder that has always been her #1 nemesis since she was a little girl. Through the convenience of blogging, she is able to share her story with the world. So next time you meet someone who is extremely quiet, soft spoken, or different…don’t assume they are conceited or weird…they may be battling their greatest enemy…social anxiety.

Creative, smart, cute, funny, sad, lonely,sassy, strong, fearful, brave, I know I know…but I certainly feel like two opposite ends of the same candle!
And speaking of the wind, when is mine going to blow!?

Senior in college, currently in Dublin Ireland, born and raised near San Francisco, California.

I’m 23 years old and a newly wed. I have suffered from anxiety since I was in elementry school. When I was around 16-years-old depression also hit me full force.

I have panic disorder with agoraphobic/avoidant features
.I am 39 years old and was a hairdresser/barber for 10 years.I also use the Lucinda Bassett program at this time.
Socializing has become difficult at this time and it’s a relief to be able to communicate with other people with similar circumstances;it reduces the embarrassment factor.
Thanks!

I’m 21 years old.
Living in Tucson, Arizona.
Doctors think I may be bipolar, I haven’t been asessed fully for that yet though. I’ve got depression with anxiety (social, generalized and seperation). Currently having a rough time finding a psychiatrist. I’m currently taking Seroquel (which isnt’ working). In the past I’ve been on Lexapro, Prozac, Celexa, Paxil, Prozac in combination with Zyprexa. I’ve never had anything good come of any of these medications. I just want to feel normal.

hi,my name is paul,im 37 years old,i live in manchester,uk,ive been living with anxiety,depression,agrophobia and panic desorder for over 20 years,medication i`ve had in the past are citalopram,paroxatine,diazapam…
my advise for anyone living with any of these conditions is,if you cant beat it,just accept it,live with it and try to control it…

I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS LIKE ME .SO I DONT FEEL ALONE…

I am looking for people that live with conditions similar to mine who have suffered with it especially if they have learned to successfully lead normal lives. I also suffer from major depressive disorder and migraines.

Does anyone really know what to write in these things?!

I have very low self esteem which I think causes me to lie and not to trust others. I want to talk with people who can relate to me so that hopefully I can learn to manage my disorder before it ruins my life
