A Dip in my old bed is causing me back pain every night now?

November 19th, 2011

??ow asked:


My bed is 5 years old and because I always sleep in the middle of it, it has a shallow dip which causes my back to be aligned crooked when I sleep and I have lower and upper back pain from it.

What can I do? The mattress is not flippable.

For about a few weeks I’ve been experiencing strong upper back pains. At nights it is so difficult to sleep cuz it feels like a have a needle stabbed. I’ve googled solutions, but tutorials or exercises target only to lower back. I’m in my twenties and have been in a few accidents.

can anxiety cause you to “go crazy”?

September 17th, 2010

Panther asked:


Lately I have been dealing with a ton of anxiety. The last month I have been constantly obsessing about my anxiety from day to night. Literally all day until I sleep, I have been thinking about “when is this gonna end”, “what happened to me”, “am I ruined forever”. On top of this, during this period I have moved out from my house and started seeing a girl who I really really like. So i’m under a ton of stress obviously. Can this cause someone to develop a more serious mental illness? Like schizophrenia?

Can asthma symptoms be caused by anxiety and depression or do I have mild asthma?

July 31st, 2010

Scott asked:


I was recently diagnosed with anxiety. Doctors always want the shortcut, meds. I’m not taking meds. No med answers allowed. I’m treating anxiety cognitively. That aside, I feel some throat itching and coughing when I feel bored at night and trying to go to sleep. I think I might have asthma. I don’t feel symptoms of this otherwise. My throat has basically turned into my stress meter. If I cough, I actively turn the stressful thoughts off. Do I have asthma? I t seems really mild. Can it get worse? If I treat it will it abate? Will it go away if I just cure my depression?
please no meds.
these are very mild asthma symptoms. i don’t plan on seeing a doctor about this and i don’t have or need an inhaler because the symptoms are so mild. my question is: is what am i experiencing a very mild case of asthma?

How long does it take for Anti-Depressants to wear off? I stopped taking them about 5 months ago?

June 12th, 2010

Lost L asked:


I feel like I am messed up for life.Yesterday I found out that 1 of the pills I took was also antidepressent med. Dr. priscribed it for me for lack of sleep. So I thought it was a sleeping pill. I took 2 other antidepressent pills around the same time. I was never depressed or did I have anxiety attacks to begin with. I never understood people who were depressed because I was never in that situation. But stupid me I had to call the clinic because I had frequent periods. The nurse asked me what am I waiting for & to go see the doctor ASAP. So I went to the imergancy. They gave me provera for 2 weeks. I started experiening bad side effects the next day I took it. But I didn’t tell anybody. Because I didn’t know or research that this medication would have side effects. I had bad thoughts. So I went back again to the Dr. they gave me 3 other antidepressents. I stopped them in 3 months of taking them. Soon after I got pregnant. Now I still have bad symptoms. I am missarable.

Alternative methods to deal with Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

March 5th, 2010

Sweetheart 21 asked:


Okay, so from what I can tell from doing all sorts of research and such, I think I have GAD. I however don’t have insurance at the moment and am wondering if there are any methods other than prescription drugs and psychiatric help? Like home methods that may not cure it, but at least help control the mind and make it easier to sleep at night.

Please don’t tell me to go to the shrink, because I am going to as soon as I have the money. No stupid answers please. I really appreciate any help that you guys can give me!
