anyone here suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder? i feel intense dread about my future (short- or long-term) frequently, without a particularly good reason, sometimes it's paralyzing and i can't do anything productive for a few days, sometimes longer... |
||||||||

Yes, I was there for a long, long time. A couple of months back I went onto Prozac and everything is peachy again. I'm actually quite annoyed with myself that I didn't get that help sooner because it would have prevented years of pointless anxiety. I would strongly recommend that you at least discuss the option with your doctor. |

I'm a wuss, but I don't think that counts as anxiety. It's more or less chronic in my case :P |

i'm very anxious/stressed, yeah... it even gave me some physical repercussions, my jaw was "cracking"/popping/sometimes blocking because i was serrating my teeth too much during sleep... i can never sleep the night before university or school starts again in september or october, i know every year it's the same i'll have a restless night even if i try to relax... but it's ok i guess could be worse : ) |

a very very stupid thing is when it comes to exams... i stress so much about the exams coming that i'm too stressed to revise efficiently ' _ - |

i think everyone gets anxiety in one form or another. when there's a forced way you must live made for you, which is generally very unatural and opressing, anxieties/depressions/fucked-upness is bound to happen. some more intense than others.. depending on your ability to deal. |

you are forced to spend the first crucial 18 years of your life in an educational system that was originaly developed to make humans working machines, being conscious of this and struggling to get those 18 years done, you make it out somewhat still intact, maybe on a few different pills.. but you can still cope. then after you graduate you have all this immense pressure and expectations to automatically chose to go back to this horrible structure of education for another 2-4-7 years of your life. guilt for being confused/indecisive/flaky, worried about what kinda job you're gonna get, what your career is gonna be.. praying to god you won't be stuck in some cubicle for the rest of your life starring at a computor screen in order to have food on your plate. oh and don't forget all the social trauma you will endure for those 18+ years.. and student loans and mindless part time jobs. so now, being in university-trying to achieve some kind of 'higher' status.. you sit and wonder why you're sitting infront of a computor screen all day, and it's not even your dreaded pre-decided career. after hours of comtemplating what the fuck is going on you begin to think of it all being a conspiracy.. school, jobs, media, people, society.. all slowing adding their part into your mind .. adding to the low self-esteem/no confidence/you ARE a worthless no good piece of scum and will never 'make it' big in this fucked up society so you are only good for this, right here.. this. oh and don't forget how ugly you've become with those 2 zits on your forehead WHAT KINDA MAN WILL WANT YOU NOW!? huh. just give up. oh and here.. take this yellow pill, it'll make you be able to get on the bus in the mornings to come to your new monday-friday 9-5 cubicle computor screen job you've always wanted. |

yes. it has fucked up huge chunks of my life. can't eat, can't sleep, can't be around people, can't concentrate, etc.. it sucks. when it gets bad it seems to be bad for months. not like everyday anxiety, the shit is debilitating. hasn't been so bad since i quit drinking so much. well, that and i found xanax. |

I'd say more confused than anxious. To get to where you want to be there's so many steps you need to take, it's just figuring out which one to take first thats the problem |

awesome. i couldn't have said it better... but clinical anxiety is a legitimate disorder... it doesn't necessarily stem from pressures. ps - FUCK SOCIETY. |

no, i'm perfectly normal, i have no mood swings, i'm completely in control of my feelings, i'm not paranoid, in particular about the shortening days having an effect, and i have no previous problems with mental illness. |

That was well put. I agreed up until the "2 zits on your forehead WHAT KINDA MAN WILL WANT YOU NOW!?" |

i ve been told not to think but just to do, so therefore i think, its a natural occurance, but its is supressed so when you do finally start to use your noggin, it all comes out at once. the rest of your life you simply are making adjustments. why do you think some old people are so chilled out, they have had their whole life to learn how to deal with themselves and their thoughts. |

Bah I have bad anxiety stuff. I'm about to start a hardcore vintage antidepressant as Efexor isn't working. I'm withdrawing as we speak, I feel like shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that a tri-cyclic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
MAOI. Even more hardcore. :s Best med for my condition but I'm weighing up the side effects (they are pretty harsh) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anti depressants make you numb. in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
who needs anti deps when theres vicodone 8) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my advice: stay away from maoi's - they belong in the dark ages. |

well, it's good to remember i didn't event this. if i rationalize, i can understand that i have nothing to really worry about, that everything can be resolved with minimal diligance -- but i've spent the past four days sleeping tons, and when i'm awake i run to and fro, distracting myself with a diversion, than distraction myself from the diversion with another diversion, nothing gets done, i feel horrendous, suicidal, awful, awful. my chest is feels like a string strung so tight that if you pluck it it'll simply shatter. |

I feel there may be some kind of connection between weird electronic music-listening internet geeks and the sorts of feelings being described here. What am I saying, may? |

hey i used to take paxil but i dropped it against my doctors orders. that shit fucking sucks. don't take those things. it made me nausiated and i had headaches. it made me think even MORE then i was at the time, which is not a good thing. also, i couldn't reach climax. i quit using that stuff and turned towards the best thing in the world for getting through the darkness: friends. (period). i'm still royally jacked in the head from months of isolated depression and way to much reading, but it's comming around. friends are amazing, especially communicating, something i had nearly forgot about during my wave of depression. don't fraternize with the unskilled help. |

i think i have an anxious personality. i am always so afraid of being late especially. i always leave for work like, a half hour earlier than i need to leave. i even dream about being late to work (though i've never been late in the 6 months i've worked at my current job, and only like 3 or 4 times in the four years at my previous one) i grind my teeth in my sleep (my roommates can hear me down the hall) and i am supposed to wear a mouth guard when i sleep. but there is no way i can fall asleep with a mouth guard. i am an awful person to have sitting shot gun in the car, too. i gasp and yelp everytime something remotely startling happens. ahh. i'm just waiting for something awful to happen! |

anxiety is a large part of my schizophrenia. when i can feel an episode coming the level of anxiety will determine the aural/visual/painful hallucinations. two nights ago i exploded and imploded 100 times in one minute. and my brain felt like it was being melted in hot lava, which causes my ego to turn to a temporary goo without memory or self awareness. |

Yea Im not exactly keen on it, but it does look like the best thing for me. The dietary restrictions were all revised about 8 years ago; they perhaps aren't as hardcore as people once thought. They are pretty much unmatched in terms of efficiacy. |

i think the lateness phobia is exactly the opposite of what i have. i have a deathly fear of being on time to work. |

Sometimes I think the answer is to not give a fuck and completely detach my id from myself. I think it could be done with training, and it would probably make me enjoy life alot more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not giving a fuck is the best way for sure. We'd have such more stable lives if we could think like that all the time. I guess Budhism is the answer huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ALCOHOL is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, alcohol and benzodiazepenes are the other answers. Beware though. Theres a lot of recovering alcoholics at Buddhist Annonymous. |

i have small bouts of anxiety and depression. i've tried meds but they tend to make things worse. so far i've cut out caffeine and have tried to get a good amount of sleep, eat better, dance more. it seems to help a lot. going and talking to someone, professional or friends, helps a lot. sometimes hearing yourself as you speak about things makes things better. as far as Paxil is concerned, NEVER EVER EVER start on that shit. my girlfriend has been on it for 3 years and has become dependent on it. if she tries to quit, she has nightmares, sleeps for days at a time, gains weight, and is not happy at all no matter what is going on. be careful. |

Yeah, I have fairly severe social anxiety disorder... I think. I definitely live up to it by being very reclusive. And it causes problems, to the point where in the last couple of years of high school, and all through my two years of college, I'd walk up the hall to class, and then... walk by the door and go somewhere because I dreaded walking into class and having people look at me or talk to me when I sat down. I spent offtime reading in the library instead of hanging out in the commons. I'm a ghost to most people. I'm awkward but I'm not unfriendly. I'm very avoidant and any people that tried to befriend me in college pretty quickly figured that I don't want them around. Thing is, I truly enjoy this lifestyle... unlike a lot of people with my problems, I'm cool with it and I don't want it any other way. But I know this is a problem... it's not easy, because the system isn't designed for this kind of personality. I have to work with people, no getting around it. I have to talk. I agree with Danbrusca in that medication could help... well, I think I do. Never been on it so I don't know. But it's something I'm considering. I don't WANT to, but I may need to if I'm going to get back into school without losing my mind. |
