Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety disorder journals
anxiety
Yep, that's the way it works alright. Recently, I read someone talking about finding their journal through Google so I googled Medhelp and there are our posts and journals for all to see. You wouldn't even necessarily have to be googling Medhelp. One might be looking up a prescription drug for example and come upon Medhelp THAT way. Except for PM's, I believe ALL OF THIS can be accessed on the Internet. Makes you think a little differently doesn't it.
I am a long time HIV anxiety sufferer, I get very stressed by it, I've just read something which has calmed me more than I have been calmed in a long time.
Welcome to the forum!
Someone who is new to anxiety is naturally frightened, especially after having a panic attack. It affects you deeply in most cases. It is scary!
The great thing so far is that you seem to be very aware of how you are feeling, that it is affecting you, even if minimally at this point...and that you have sought some help, both by going to your doc, and by coming here.
MY advice to you is to start addressing it now.
Have you been diagnosed with depression. Does your doctor say you are suffering from stress not depression?
Ask at your local Health food shop what they recommend for stress, or the pharmacist at a chemist.
My sister was on reglan for six months and started to develop depression and anxiety. She has struggled with this for almost a year now.
She is on antidepressants and medication for anxiety.
Has anyone found any medications or treatments that have helped.
It seems to be uncharted territory and some of the journals I have read have indicated that what works on "traditional" depression and anxiety may not work on the reglan-induced problems.
Another neurological disorder with dissociative symptoms that most people are familiar with is the neurological disorder epilepsy. During or after an epileptic attack, patients often suffer from both dissociative and depersonalization symptoms, for Neurological Reasons. Not because of Anything to do with anxiety. It has nothing to do with "panic" or "anxiety". It is not mood related.
I wouldn't label myself as 'depressed', in the 'clinically depressed' sense, but recently family and friends have suggested going to my Dr. I tried to see my Dr last year about mood swings and energy levels as I had a few suicidal (strong feelings and fantasies, not attempts) moments, but he just asked to see me a few more times and eventually gave me a website using which I was diagnosed as being...well really messed up.
Whether you have generalized anxiety or social anxiety or garden variety anxiety can only be diagnosed by a doctor.........and at the young age of 13, (even tho it's obvious you are mature for your age) your hormones are kicking into high gear and that can sometimes bring on anxiety.
I would urge you to talk to your parents about these feelings and I believe a talk with your doctor is in order. You do not have to feel this way.
Given the absence of a diagnosis of a cardiac or endocrine problem, yes, it does sound like anxiety.
I have been diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder. I have been on four different medications; the first one was Lexapro, which made me extremely tired, then Cymbalta which made me extremely paranoid, a generic version of Zoloft, I can't remember the name which I gained 15 to 20 pounds before I realized it was the medicine, and the latest one is fluoxetine(? generic Prozac) which doesn't appear to be helping, I'm still anxious (crabby) so I went off that one as well.
