Has anyone ever attended (in person) a MeetUp in your area? If so, did it help, hinder or just get you out of the house? I found a local meetup group for people with SA and it is women only, so that kinda helps...but I am a bit timid about meeting people in person, especially since they are...

Today, I am frustrated and now my anxiety-ridden-self-doubt-overthinking brain is hard at work. I am sick. I caught a cold about 10 days ago and it's progressed into a sinus infection. You know how icky that feels if you've had one...so, I am tired of my head aching, my nose being both runny...

I know this is really low priority on the 'worry about this' list but ... and It's quite silly... I used to be able to do things for others like on their birthdays, holidays, plan small birthday party or baby shower, for example. But since I've lost my job and my SA is really not at a 'under...

I need to get homework done; I'd like to watch a little tv, and just have some quiet time to myself-maybe go to the bathroom without kids, yeah, that would be nice. Instead, even AFTER telling them I need to get homework done, they took a nap as I watched the 3 yr old, then my brother went to a...

Well, here I am, all is quiet on the home front. But something I feel is amiss with me. I just can't seem to shake the gnawing feelings of sadness, extremely high anxiety level, like I am on the verge of a panic attack any moment. I jump at the slightest noise. meh, for now, I will chalk it up...

Well, today I am___ again. I do not say this for acknowledgement but was wondering if it is the social norm with your family and/or friends to celebrate your birthday? I remember at work they were notorious for celebrating your b-day with song, cake, etc. then it was back to normal. I cringe...

I was in a store late last night (less people), and all of a sudden I got dizzy, I felt sick to my stomach, and my heart was pounding so hard that I thought I was surely having a heart attack which prompted a panic attack on top of a panic attack. If that’s possible…who knows, but it felt like...

I get very quiet, keep to myself, sulk, cry, am sad - so I know (to an extent) how it feels. I don't want to step on anyone's' toes but my SIL seems depressed. It appears she may be suffering from postpartum depression. She cries easily, and has been very quiet. I tried talking to her and...

Has anyone here taken Phenibut? It's OTC, and supposed to be similar to GABA I have read all I can online about it and was wondering if anyone here has taken it? If so, was it helpful or should I not waste my money? Currently I take Kava & Valerian combo if I have to go out. It is mildly...

Ever run into that “one person” who can really push your buttons? Challenge even the least anxious person into a bumbling pile of mush? I went out last night, pushed my way thru my anxieties and doubts, and just did it. Now I am over thinking and over analyzing every detail. A classmate asked...

I can't think or even form a sentence that at the moment I feel like just keeping quiet and out of sight for a while. Does that make sense to anyone? I keep thinking about all the things I 'should of, would of, could of' done with my life - I'm going to be 43 soon and I'm just stuck - stuck...

Back from grocery store and post office...does it make you uneasy when you are in line and people either in front or back, or both, feel like they are standing too close to you? Like a feeling of invading your private space? I get that feeling a lot when I have to go to a store and there is a...

I just realized that I've not touched my cell phone for 2 days and I don't miss it at all. I've had the ringer off - truth is I had enough of the student loan place calling and I turned ringer off and simply forgot! For obvious reasons one needs a phone for communication, in case of emergency...

I went downstairs to get something to drink and SIL's mom and sister were there. She wanted to talk. Fine. That's cool, she doesn't have a case of the jitters like me. She just wanted to converse because I've been up in my room literally all day long while the whole clan of SILs were...

I admit, I LOVE Doctor Who and Legos (nobody cuts into my Lego Fun Time) and The Big Bang Theory Did I mention Doctor Who? Doctor Who explained in less than 3 minutes with music: Craig Ferguson - The lost "Dr. Who" cold open. - YouTube

I bought a new shower curtain. It is generic. It was on sale at Target The colors are neutral It is not kid-themed I told SIL that I bought a new shower curtain. Her reply: "ok, as long as it's not vulgar." Oh bloody hell, I missed the boat on that one. Where can I find a vulgar shower...

Ok, perhaps a bit strong of word, Hell. But close. Since I last posted my sister in law had the baby. A girl. She is 5 days old and cries about every hour to 2 hours. I've been watching my nephew (the brother) and a couple days ago he threw up 3 different times. All 3 times I was with him...

do you find you have bad, I mean very bad, PMS that aggravates SA? every 2 weeks I get very sad, depressed, quiet, wanting to be alone...along with 'normal' pms symptoms but as I get older, I find that along with the depression, I tend to have an increase in panic attacks and not wanting to go...

I just had a go around with my brother. We hugged in the end, so that's good, but now I feel bad and kinda like crying. I admit, it was my own darn fault. It started when he asked how things are going. I said fine, but that my car insurance was due to be cancelled if not paid on the 3rd. He...

I'm a nervous wreck today. My jaw is tight, neck and lower back are hurting. I took 1/2 valium...did nothing. My heart feels like it is going to pop out of my chest. My right arm is tingly/numb like feeling. My thumb has been twitching, muscle spasm-like, I guess. And I feel like I am on the...
