I went away with my children for a few days. It was the first time I went that far without another adult. We went and stayed with my husbands cousin. The entire time I was gone I was pretty much...

I am afraid of the process of dying. When the fear grips you from a panic attack, it's paralyzing and crippling. Iwant to enjoy my life and my children again.... so tired. So very very tired.

Hi Zombie,

What a fantastic post! Cymbalta was one of the drugs that I was prescribed as well, actually it was the first. And for me, it worked really well. I was doing so well in fact that my...

I hate how this happens in waves. Been going on for about 1 and a half hours now. Sweaty hands, discomfort, raging head ache, and scared! I know it's just my brain releasing chemicals to try to trick...

Hi daisychain,

Could you explain exactly what it is that makes you afraid of wires? Is it every kind of wire or a specific type, like electrical? Have you tried CBT? The challenging and exposure...

I was here until 2:30 am but I didn't see you. Sorry Nik :(

When I woke up this morning my first thought was an anxious one. I squashed it quick and told myself it was going to be a GOOD day.

I do! I'm always open for conversation about whatever you need to talk about. I'm usually lurking here, or not far away since I spend most of my time at home (I'm only out for total an hour every...

Another day feelin' like crap. The last half decent day I had was February 16. No wonder I'm really feeling it! I'm not sleeping, and the monkey is on my back again. It's so hard to come up when...

I've been really working hard at trying to get better and I believe I've narrowed down my fears to a few things. First of all both my doctor and my therapist have said I have PTSD... and I know that...

I'm scared. Palpatations started it this morning a little better than an hour ago. It's hard to break the panic cycle when you experience such a prominent physical symptom. I don't feel safe, any...

Gosh I'm nervous today. And tired. I'm always so tired! It's exhausting! I believe I may be making some progress though, I don't feel like the monkey (fear) is on my back any more. It's like he's...

I believe it's pretty common with anxiety sufferers. While I don't suffer from Paruresis I am a bit of a germophobe. So I have difficulty doing my business in public for that reason alone. I do...
