I happened to find this place by chance and it's just what I was looking for! I have been suffering from horrible....HORRIBLE anxiety for a while now and it has just gotten worse over the past year or so.
During that time I lost my job, my girlfriend, friends and totally relocated to my hometown to try to get a fresh start. I have been to countless doctors and given hundreds of tests to try to find out what is wrong with me. The good news is that I'm relatively fit and healthy, which left the final diagnosis as GAD, Social Phobia, Panic Disorder and a couple super-hard medical terms that basically describe the type of anxiety I have.
Anyhow....
It seems that my panic and anxiety just popped up from out of nowhere, which is the main reason that I get worried a lot about my health. Thinking that there is/was something seriously wrong with my health. Before I got "sick" I was a bartender/chef in Las Vegas; in the public 10-14 hours a day, so the sudden change in my mood was very strange to me. I don't know what caused it, why it's happening, how to get over it....but I'm trying to deal with it and hopefully beat this thing and get back to living.
I just started taking Paxil for this and I'm not totally sure what to expect or how to deal with the effects of the drug. It's different, strange, mixed and totally new feeling on my body and mind. I hope that this will help me out and I'm really here to get some info and get some input that take Paxil as well.
Mostly, it has been a while since I've had someone to talk to about what is going on. My family doesn't understand. To them I'm not physically hurt so to them it's not really an illness. I spend a lot of time researching online and getting to meet some people that are going through the same thing I am, swapping stories and just trying to help each other out. This place looks like a good place to get to meet some people that I can relate to and hopefully get some answers and who knows, maybe get a few friends out of the deal
Just a little info on me:
30 - male - Hispanic - single parent - Southern California
So you made it this far....congratulations! Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if you ever need someone to talk to - I'm a good listener. I'm on Skype all the time, I'm a bit of a night owl.
