Anxiety (Page 6) Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: OMG I know ... I use to drink to stop or get relief from my panics and anxiety attacks and it was far worse the next day I take thyroid medicine myself  (Post deleted by alpossmar82 )  LiveLife09: dont really suffer with anxiety all that often but when i do its bad!!!...the best way i deal with it is to read calm down and read!! may not work for you but give it a shot also i keep a journal to keep track of triggers and that helps me calm down too Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: Anxiety and panic attacks r 2 different things.. I panic. I go into the fight or flight stage ..Usually flight....i have been taking Klonopin aka clonazepam ... It saved my life. .Long active unlike crazy Xanax or valium or phenobarbital, Librium, Ativan and so on.. I don't have to carry my booze in my purse every where I go .. For that quick fix so not to embarrass myself more so not to go through that ungodly Unknown fear. Never knowing when or why. I have been taking Klonopin for 15 plus years and panics are gone.. I believe that the part of our brain that gets us physically is in the same area as where seizure are caused. Klonopin is an anti anxiety medicine but also an anti seizure medicine. When I am driving an the sun flickers through the leaves ..It sets something off in my brain and I panic This is my 2 cents worth lol Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: Tried that and celexa until they changed it to lexipro not saying it won't work for others : }  Thor213: ECT is last resort after existing trycicliks xanax check compleat medical check and the doctor/clinician lithium ECT basically pin pointed stimulation or direct reboot to your brain also known as Electro convulsive therioy Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: no the clonazepam (Klonopin) is my miracle pill....took shrinks forever to find relief for me..I carried some kind of alcohol in my purse or anywhere it could be hidden.. I was afraid that another Ungodly fear was going to come over me and it did..I guzzled beer and /or liquor to stop this fear..when I got my Klonopin after years of trying all kinds of medicine. I can forget the booze, not carry it to stop panic I drink a lot of diet coke : } Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: Thor213 is so right.. Ect IE, electroconvulsivetherapy is the very last resource...I wish 10 years ago or longer that when Dr. James Lean had me hospitalized so I could get ect every morning for 4 weeks and then the would drive an hour and a half to pick me up from my then home and ECT me once or twice aweek. I begged for him to stop.. court orders from my family and Dr. James Eldon Lean was to the judge as these crazy fucked up people are to be listened to but not the young woman ( I was in my 30's then) who could voice just how she felt and what was being done to her has made it worse.. They shipped me off to Winnebago mental health corrections . I had no fihgt left by then. Years later I got the depo shot as I divorced and dated a young man and neither of us wanted more kids.. That depo shot almost killed me.. The doom and depression was more than I could bear but not more then Our Lord could. I stayed a year at this mental place with murderers ,child molesters, rapist, all the colors of the rainbow . The colors were beautiful but the psychopathics were not (Post deleted by alpossmar82 )  wayne elliott: It's heartbreaking to read your story Terriv101, such cruelty and desolation you have faced and the helplessness as others stormed through your life treating it as their own little project. I suffered depression all my life and have had most addictions. At age 45 I finally sought help, admitting to the decades of turmoil. Doctors ignored me as they pumped mind altering drugs into me. I have since relinquished them all and live in a sense of hopelessness, exhausted and without trust. I plan to write of it when I am more stable within myself. Wish you the best for the future and you are not alone. Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: Please keep the hope and I also want to write about what I have gone thru So far I have the title " The Invisible Wheelchair"..I know how it feels just to exist.. I also know how it feels "To be afraid of dying but not knowing how to live" I have to fight for my Klonopin as if I had to live with my "Panic Attacks" I would have a 1/5 th of booze with me everyday and everywhere I had to go and surely my liver would give faster with the booze than the clonazepam.. "If you can't see it it must not be real syndrome" needs to stop now that we are in the 21st century. Wayne I will pray for you and I hope your overwhelming exhaustion just to survive " can be turned into some well deserved good energy.. God Bless Terri eziskowski: I have to give u credit Terri for all the posting u do , your postings are a form of help and i am sure there are good people out there that can help , stay away form the drugs as much as u can ,it will make u worst , fine some help from family and good fiends , I know u can do it. Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: Thank You very much .. Since I do have an addictive personality.. I stay away from as many psychotropics possible.. I do believe the self medicating came before all the addictions but your right ..I need to be very careful... : } I do believe that God has my back !!! eziskowski: My daughter of 29 years , had the same problem with addiction to all the depression and panic attacks , she was on Colonpin and other drugs from doctors , she finally couldn;t handle the addiction and took her life , I think there has to be a place u could go to where u are not involed with other addacts or what i call bad people , maybe the church could lead u to a location away from all your troubles , God has to be on your side. you have to make the right choices . Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: OMG I am so sorry.. I take alot of prayer and begging to the Lord Klonopin ie, clonazepam it saved my life I was afraid to die but did not want to just exist and It stopped my panic I was getting them at 14 years now 49 I am so sorry for your loss.. God knows she needed peace badly Klaeidoscopes Ghetto: I have done lots of soul searching in my home as my sons have grown and moved on.. Churches I almost had a nervous breakdown from my Uncle reverendHotetter Assembly of God church. From 5 years old to teen years. He had me convinced the only place waiting for me was a hell with brimstone as walls and flames in this pit..Where I would burn for eternity That is mental abused gnashing teeth and all that stuff. I am finding my Lords Love now  dadman1240: LaLaLoLa << help for you .... At times maybe you’ve thought .. if your paycheck were bigger .. if you found that person to marry .. if you got that promotion .. or if your health improved .. then your worries would be over .. But even if your bank account .. relationships .. career .. and physical condition were exactly what you wanted .. would that really put your worries away for good . . . Bottom line is .. putting away worry means changing the way you think about your current situation .. whatever that situation is ..

May God be your guide (Post deleted by staff )  BlueMoon07: Hi everyone... I work in the field of Mental Health/Addictions. The best advice that I can give without going the pharmaceutical route is to learn mindfulness. This a technique used in CBT and that have large benefits for those with depression, ANXIETY, trauma and PTSD (military clients and veterans) Youtube has many videos about mindfulness. I would strongly suggest YOGA, helps you be in the moment and not lest the storytelling of the mind take over. If ever you want more info there more that I can offer.  Yo Mamas nightmare: When I start getting anxious, I will go for a run. Sumtimes that helps, other times I need to get high. It's those times when I'm sorta out of control I do things I hate and regret but can't stop. | Health Chat Room Similar Conversations |
