Ps, we're snowed in completely where i live and I'm getting a bit of cabin fever!

mrbusy,

It's been awhile. How are you doing?

Hello and welcome. It may be the medication or it may be your anxiety. I didn't take the med you are on, but I had a similar experience with getting some help and relief from medication (Klonopin and Xanax in my case) only to find over time that my anxiety returned and I would have a really hard tim...

pez, It is anxiety. You don't need a blood test, go see a doctor and tell him or her what you said here. If you keep avoiding all the things you want to do and drinking all the time, you'll end up in a bad way. It happened to me. Get the help you need and then get on with your life. You can do it!

Hi, I have to go to a bridal shower this weekend and I really don't want to. The people having the shower are only polite acquaintances and there will be at least 3 people there who I know don't like me. My social anxiety is kicking in really bad and I feel like making a lame excuse. I also know if ...

Hi Iceman, Compassion is key and I'm sorry you had those experiences. I always thought I would be ridiculed and shamed because of my panic and anxiety, but I found that when I opened up to people, they were usually very nice and concerned for me. Of course only open myself up very close friends and ...
