Anyone else have anticipatory anxiety while pregnant?

January 26th, 2011

GreenGirlie asked:


I have anticipatory anxiety pretty bad, especially in situations such as going to the doctors. I recently discovered I’m pregnant and of course now I have to go to the doctors a lot (which I’m already nervous about). I get so nervous it skyrockets my blood pressure and heart rate. I know it’s not good for the baby and I have a therapist, but he really doesn’t seem to help much. What can I do to stop this? Has anyone else been through this and overcame it?

Does Heavy Binge drinking cause anxiety disorders?

September 5th, 2010

kenny9678 asked:


I’ve been binge drinking like 15+ drinks a day/night at least twice a week since I’ve been 16 (I am now 24). Before I started drinking I had no anxiety whatsoever and could public speak without being nervous at all. Now even calling a person I don’t know I get very nervous and my heart rate rises and very anxious. Could this be from the heavy drinking? If so, if I stop drinking are the results reversible? Thanks for the help!

Anxiety? Please help me with my anxiety?

June 29th, 2010

mariehulda2 asked:


I’m a nursing student and I’m always stressed out, even when I’m not. Sounds weird, right? I’m always biting my nails, etc… My heart rate is real fast. Last time I checked, it was 113/minute ( tachychardia). I went to the emergency room the other day, because I thought I was gonna have a heart attack : headaches, excessive yawning, heart racing, difficulty breathing, nausea, you name it! I had all the symptoms. Is that anxiety? What causes anxiety and how do I get rid of it? Someone, please tell me how to manage stress. I’m tired of suffering! Sometimes, I keep thinking something bad will happen, or if I’m driving the car will stop with me in the middle of the road, or something will break in the car, and will have a bad accident. I don’t like these feelings. Someone help!
