Hello Everyone I have a eating disorder. My treatment is Overeaters Anonymous. As previously mentioned, I lost 217 pounds. However, "for me" the issue is not losing weight -- it is keeping it off. This is difficult because I self-soothe with junk food when stressed. To maintain abstinence ...

I agree with Richard@DecisionSkills . . . I also liked Candid's post. I never considered my ability to leave a toxic/boring situation a plus. People have always considered my ability to leave as being anti-social. So, I did too. But, is it really? Yesterday, when I got home, I was so wound up, that ...

Hello Everyone Funerals and weddings -- ahhhh the time when people who secretly hate each other get together to fake being a unified family. .For sure, most family members care about each other. It is the handful of individuals who are spiteful, envious, and hateful who suck goodwill out of the room...

Adding to Candid's post, I have also read Pete Walker's book -- Thriving to Surviving. It is a must read for anyone with an anxiety disorder. .

Hello Sorry to hear you have not achieved the desired effect from Lamictal. I stopped taking medications a decade ago. They did not work for me. Yes, I had a panic disorder. But, my doctors treated the symptoms and not the cause of the disorder which was caused by c-PTSD that is not caused my chemic...

Hello All Last week I posted about considering Transcendental Mediation as a means to deal with anxiety and panic attacks. To research the topic, I watched some YouTube videos, and purchased a book -- Super Mind. From there, I checked Google for TM Centers in my area. The fees ranged from $385 - $1,...

Hello everyone Still in disbelief that cannabis is causing so many problems for people. But, I think back to when I tried the plant for recreational use -- I bought it off the street. I hated the experience -- especially the dry mouth, the foul smell, and raiding the fridge. Now that I use the herb ...

Hello Head in loud

First, love your name. Second, read the first sentence of your post and thought about cannabis. Third, did you try the Lavender? I would be interested to know if it worked for you.

Masmas . . . . Here is my story. I looked at old pictures with me and people I cared about. I held the people close -- almost like I was clutching them. Without exception, their bodies arched outward away from them. That to say this....I wanted their love so badly that I pulled too hard. If the pers...

Getting out of bed is problematic. Off and on, getting up has been a issues for decades. Mornings were not safe at my childhood home. As an adult, it is still safer to stay in bed. I felt ridiculous for typing this. My adult home is safe, so why is this still an issue? I have been making progress. I...

It has been awhile since you posted. But, wanted to share I have heard about panic and stomach issues. I heard that panic causes tightening/contracting of muscles which can lead to intestinal issues -- like diverticulitis.

Just a thought, and hope you are feeling better.

Hello Everyone I joined this forum last week to share problems related with living with a panic disorder. In addition, I looked around to see what other suffers were doing. A lot of people are gravitating to Transcendental Meditation. The problem with trying it was the practice is taught for "T...

Hi Richard

Thank you for your reply.

Hello Desperate788 I read all of your post, and can identify with how you are feeling. I will not write much because when I feel as you described, my eyes have a hard time focusing on words off a page. I wanted to let you know that someone other than you has anxiety so bad that it cripples. Hang in ...
