Anxiety?

July 21st, 2010

Night_Wolf asked:


Hey all. Let me get down to the point… Sometimes throughout the day, I have a hard time breathing, like it’s extremely hard to breath, I feel so much pressure on my lungs, I get hot, I get aggravated, and sweat a little bit. I went to the doctor’s, and they said that I don’t have asthma. So, I don’t know what the hell I have, but I tried smoking whenever this shitty thing happens to me, and it goes away. Smoking is harmful for the body and I want to quit, but I don’t want to have trouble breathing again. I’ve tried eating gum [as an alternative to smoking] whenever I get this breathing attack, but I’d still get it. I’ve tried having seeds, but still the same thing. I’ve tried those two because whenever I ge the urge to smoke, I just have gum or seeds, and usually the urge goes away. So, I’d like to know what the hell is wrong with me so I won’t have to smoke before I become really addicted. I just **** that nicotine after taste.

I asked this question earlier, and according to some, it’s anxiety. Where do I go for that? Do I go to my normal pediatrician? (I’m 17 btw) I went there before, and the guy made it look like I was faking this whole thing, what an *******. This is from 2 years ago…

By the by: please dont give me stupid answers like oh! you should tell the master general health **** that you found a cure to breathlessness, or something stupid like that.

How do you cure physical symptoms of stress? Are they definitely stress?

July 19th, 2010

iloveyankees20 asked:


I’ve been constantly fatigued, suffering “panic attacks”, constant chest tightness and heaviness, sore muscles everywhere, occassional heart palpitations (skipping a beat), exhaustion, muscle twitches/spasms when I try to fall asleep, weakness, and a “lump” in my throat. I have had exceptional amounts of stress far beyond average levels in the past six months, so I don’t know if that’s it. My doctor’s and psychologist have labeled it a combo of General Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but I don’t know if I believe them. Heart disease is very prevalent in my family, and while I’m very young, I have already had two children very close together (11 months apart) and I don’t know if that put extra strain on my heart/body, plust post-pregnancy pounds total 100 over my ideal weight. what do you all think? these physical pains are making me insane! thanks for your input.

I want friends in real life.how to get them ( i have social anxiety/anxiety)?

July 17th, 2010

Flabia asked:


I suffer from social anxiety, and anxiety disorder.
But I am an excellent person and friend. Loyal, honest and sweet to those that are deserving of it.
But I dont have any friends because I suffer from panic disorder/anxiety and I dont go out of my house since I had to get out of school to be home school. I am graduating in 3 days, which motivates me and cheers me up alot. I cant go to my graduation ceremony because i have no hair (yeah I shaved my hair off 4 months ago after a panic attack and was rushed to hospital though I was gonna die, so I was desperate and mad with myself, chopped my hair off, now is growing though) and I have real bad hormonal acne, due to my stress. But I am getting it treated with acutane soon, going to dermatologist this tuesday so i feel better :)

Well, anyway, my mom and I quarrel alot. and my dad lives in Panama, im moving with him soon. I’ll be working on my own independently and raising money for my dreams, I want to become a model, after My appearance gets better basically after my acne is cured and my hair grows,I’ll be fine.

But I do have social anxiety but I wanna make friends.
What approach can I use when I go to Panama to make new stable relationships and friendships even with my problem? I want to live a normal life and have friends, like a regular 18yr old wanna have fun.

Social Anxiety Disorder?

July 15th, 2010

Justin asked:


For as long as i can remember ive struggled…painstakingly with social anxiety disorder. It feels like..complete, self afflicted..mental torture. it is difficult for me to explain..as i have been trying to explain it to myself for years. The best way i can put it is, i am randomly myself. the only way ive been able to describe it to myself, which may sound silly..is i have 2 set neuropaths. Nueropath A, and Nueropath B. A, i am completely 100% me, everything i feel, say, do, and think is authentically me, i have no regrets what ive said, done, did, or do. Because i know, that was my authentic me. B, on the otherhand.. tries to believe im A, everything i say, do, and think.. does not seem or feel, like what i would have done, or should of done, what i should have thought, said, or should of said. My vocabulary shrinks to 20%, My thought process almost completely shuts down, i cant even hear what other people are saying because i am so hopelessly trapped inside my own head with these negative thoughts. Id get up and walk away…but i know id feel ill for the next 3 days about how that must have made me look. Neuropath A and B are completely seperate. I know when im in my A or B mindset conciously, and apparently subconciously aswell. Cymbalta…zoloft..i loved you guys, but you let me down in the end, u worked for 6 months.. then nothing.. then teased me in thinking i was cured, for some reason coming off of both of them cold turkey left me in constant A for a month. Does serotonin have absolutely anything to do with this crap? obviously boosting it makes me feel better..for a while. what hurts the most, is i meet people, in those 6 months of being authentic ME. That when my crutch finally fizzles, they see a shattered form of what i used to be, what i truely believe to be a interesting, intelligent, wonderful person. So my question, Why cant i be me 100% of the time? Without crutches such as SSRI’s (would be great if they worked indenfinately) booze, or adderall. and im assuming maybe 3% of you people reading this…what looks to be a complete mindless tangent looking back, may actually relate to… or even begin to understand what im talking about. And for those of you that dont. im in complete envy.

Any Doctors out there? I have an anxiety problem, at least i think it is?

July 15th, 2010

Sandra :) asked:


Calling all doctors or anyone who have experienced this also:

So whenever i’m nervous, emotional, speaking to someone i like or uncomfortable around, speaking in front of class, etc, my chest and neck become red and blotchy. It looks a lot like a rash but it goes away once im away from the situation and its not itchy. I can feel it when i burn up so it usually gets worse cause i think about it, and it can come instantly. This really bugs me because i feel like i cant be myself and i stay away from a lot of things to avoid this from happening. Its embarrassing and annoying. I’ve done some research and there’s no cure for it, but i heard beta blockers can help for SOME people. I don’t really have panic attacks, and sometimes i dont even feel nervous, my body just does it’s own thing. Is this an anxiety disorder?? I’m pretty confident and outgoing, so i really dont understand why this is happening. It really effects me and this has been happening for about a year or so. I’ can’t even be around a guy that i’m interesting in without getting a red blotchy thing on my chest! Would you suggest beta blockers? Should i talk to a therapist or dermatologist? Please please please help me with this. I really **** this and i hope i can find some kind of treatment or cure. Thank you so much! (:

Separation anxiety and destructive behaviour in puppy?

July 15th, 2010

BuenoBomb asked:


I have a 10 month old Alaskan Husky that has separation anxiety. Every time we leave he will immediately howl very loud like a wolf for long periods of time. When he gives up, he starts to get destructive. I kept him in my bedroom because that is where my scent is the most for him. I put his water and food in there and put away anything he could get at. I gave him his chew toy also so he would have something to do. I also left on some nature music to soothe him. But I left for 30 minutes came back and he had torn apart my blanket and my jacket. Wondering if this can be cured with crate training and how can I get him to stop howling when I am gone. I do not want to result to shock collars please help.
The dog never ever howls or makes any noise at all when we are home or when we come home. Also if I let him free roam around the house he will still pick up items around the house and throw them on the floor. Not a big change from being in a bedroom…

Depression & Anxiety.Advice.please help?

July 14th, 2010

Lisa asked:


I have suffered from Depression on and off for about 6 years. Lately my depression and anxiety has been worse than ever before. I have been on anti depressants before and have completely lost my *** drive and inability to have an ****** after going on them. I want to go back on them because my depression is getting so bad I am starting to have suicidal thoughts. What do I do? Lose my *** life or be happy? I feel like my depression is tearing up my relationship with my boyfriend, who doesn’t really understand what im going through despite the several conversations we have had about it. Does anyone have any advice or maybe ideas of natural ways to cure depression?
