Social Anxiety Disorder?

February 3rd, 2011

Jack asked:


I suffer from social anxiety disorder. I only recently figured this out. I’m 23 years old and think I’ve had this for years. I have lately been seeing a social worker to help deal with how to deal with certain people. Should I mention that I have this? Can this disorder be cured?

Anxiety Disorder? Taking Zoloft and Xanor.

January 31st, 2011

marjohnv asked:


i was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I’m taking Xanor 25 mg for two weeks now as prescribed by my first Dr. and then I went to a Psychiatrist yesterday because the anxiety is persistent. he then explained to me that Xanor is for the Relief and he prescribe Zoloft for the cure. My wife is 9 months pregnant and will deliver possibly on the 3rd week this month, which i partially blame for this anxiety period of mine. is it ok to take 125 mg zoloft at night then 250mg of xanor in the morning?

jsh321s asked:


I am pretty sure that i suffer from social anxiety. I have a hard time being around people in general. Especially those my own age (I’m 15). Its been getting to them point that if i go in a store I avoid people as much as possible because it could cause me to hyperventilate if I don’t. Does anyone have any ways i can cure myself from this?

p.s I rather not tell my parents about this. I hide it as well as I can

How can I cure minor stuttering caused by nervousness and anxiety?

January 27th, 2011

&hearts asked:


Whenever I get nervous or anxious, I tense up and think too fast. I start to have a minor stutter. It only happens sometimes when I’m talking to a person I am nervous with. I don’t do it at all when I’m talking to my parents, friends, or anyone I know pretty well.
How can I cure this? I always get so freaked out when I have to make a speech. But it doesn’t happen when I memorize the speech.
I also don’t have a little stutter at all when I act even when I’m nervous.
And when I relax and feel less stressed out, I talk fine.

I have anxiety problems and attacks. I need a safe way to deal with these. My family doesn’t believe in medicine for these types of things, and hardly believe they are real, they think they are just mind over matter things. Please help.

Has anyone returned to work full-time and went on to live a productive life after being diagnosed with PTSD?

January 22nd, 2011

Piet asked:


If so, how long did it take for you to get better? Do you feel PTSD can be cured or only managed? Can others tell you’re suffering from some form of anxiety when they meet you, even though you’re working again and are productive? I’m especially interested in hearing from those who have PTSD which results from being abused as children and/or *****.
