Have any of you taken GABA and/or 5-HTP? I've been taking both for a few months now thinking I could help, for lack of better wording, trick my neurotransmitters so I would not have to go back on RX anti-depressants. Well, I have noticed I am the opposite, more anxious, more likely to fly off...

Fun stuff. I'm sure a good bit of you guys can relate. SIL was home and in the next room so I felt I had to 'be quiet' ... I just sat down in the shower and cried. I was shaking real bad by the time I got out and almost to the point of hyperventilation. SIL saw my red face as I came down the...

*I pose a lot of questions in this post...not intentionally and not to be answered, it's more like what I am asking myself* I've been trying to get out of my comfort zone more lately - struggling at times to push myself to just get out and go...meet new people, etc. and perhaps meet a decent...

sigh. I haven't been around lately...It's like a mid life crisis or something I am going through. That's for another discussion, lol. I've been getting anxious over the silliest things - skype for one. Not a huge deal, but I feel dumb feeling this way. For some reason, it makes me anxious. A...

I just 'peeked' at facebook...bad idea. I don't have account but someone I know does and said something about a new pic on their page from a recent photo shoot. Shame on me...lol. eh, I"ll get over it. It was kinda comical, my heart started beating rapidly and I got real anxious...why put...

What to do ... what to do ... Well, right before the holidays and my SIL says she and my brother are going to get a divorce. Apparently, when she said to him in October, "it's been 13 years we've been together" to which my brother replied, "it sure seems longer than that" Of course that set...

I need opinions please. This isn't a tremendously huge deal, but need others opinion... Some of you know I posted a few days back about 'a certain someone' came back to town cuz his father recently passed away. Well, despite everything that had happened between him & I in the past, I tried to...

I was wondering, does anyone, while attempting to be nice and a good friend, tend to overextend yourself? And if so, at what cost? Cuz I am feeling so drained at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to help, but there does need to be some breathing room....I think? I don't know anymore...

This may not make much sense - I am sleep deprived and thus my thoughts are not on track, but here goes... It's pretty irritating when you're in the shower and you have a panic attack because your mind begins to race with unwanted thoughts about how I should be doing this, or need to finish...

I just wanted to drop a few lines to thank all of you who responded to my discussion a few weeks ago about open relationships/open marriage and contributed your thoughts on the subject. I was able to rite my paper for school! So THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!! :thumbup::bigsmile:

Well, it's been a long time since I've been on here. Ask me why, I don't know. Just trying to re-evaluate my situation, me, .... the list seems endless and I got stuck. eh, it happens! so, onto my question.... Anyhow....I've been going to college, as some may know. I am currently taking a...

I've been having bouts of sleep paralysis on and off for several years but recently told my doctor about it and he said it sounds like I have what is known as sleep paralysis. It usually occurs when I first wake up in the morning, I find myself unable to move or talk. The first time it happened...

it's called QUIPIO. Right now, it's only for the iphone but soon to be on android. To describe it, it's like microblogging (twitter) meets photos with words (instagram). You can be completely anonymous ... it's only on the phone so there are no real updates, timelines, or competitiveness like...

Lately, I've been experiencing a kind of choking sensation along with light-headed feeling while eating. Usually upon taking that first bite. I've tried making sure I eat slower, chew my food good, etc. but nothing seems to help. I have to stand up while I eat because it seems better that way as...

It's just been one of those days. We've all had them, nothing new. But at the moment, I can't even look at my SIL without getting so angry with her. So...she's off for summer vacation so one would think that would mean she would get up with HER kids, etc. Quite the opposite. I am putting in...

I will be flying to Michigan and Washington soon and I am freaking out. I will be going to MI in a couple of weeks to visit relatives, specifically my (step) grandmother who is in ill health. Also, I will be flying to WA in late Sept. for my sister's wedding. Yes, I know, a bit away...but...

I have been having trouble sleeping for a few months. I am sleepy, but my brain just won't shut off. I was getting, on average about 3.5 hours of sleep. That was not cutting it. So I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Trazodone, 100 mg. For me, it works. However, when I wake up in the AM...

I was thinking (dangerous, I know!) have you ever come across someone who's a smart a$$ and all you want to do is psycho****yise that person with a quip or good comeback. For example, my niece/nephew are taking swim lessons. SIL mentioned that to one of her friends who was over for BBQ, and...

Wow, where to begin. *deep breath* In the grand scheme of things, no this is not a life changer, however, I am hoping I can gain your wisdom, insight...eh, something?? My NY *friend* is having difficulty (I'll get to this in a moment). OK, with that said, I need to confess to the fact we were...

I think I wrote about something similar earlier but here's a new spin.. While we were at the theme park last week, I realized something that I never thought there was a correlation between the two, but I think there may be something there... So, my nephew (4 yrs old) went on 2 rollercoasters...
