Has anyone else smoked weed while on an SSRI and had a really bad experience? I was put on Paxil and it was already making me feel worse. But when I smoke it's about 100x worse, gave me intense suicidal thoughts (I'm not going to do it) and almost gave me a panic attack. So anyway I googled it...

I'm 20 years old and have never had a job or a license or even really done anything since I dropped out in 10th grade back in 2008. I haven't because of my anxiety. Every time I go out in public to do things my physical symptoms of anxiety are so overwhelming that I have to come back home. At...

I've been noticing I get these horrible waves of depression and I'm wondering if this is just how Depression works or what... does anyone else with depression get this.. I'll feel ok for most of the day (not really happy, I mean I always have a certain level of depression with me) but then...

So I've had anxiety my whole life and it's basically always been obsessive thoughts/worries/fears that have gotten worse as I've gotten older. When I was little I guess it wasn't as bad cause I had less to worry about. But as a teenager (I'll be 20 in April) it's gotten out of control. In 2008 I...

Has anyone here read anything by Eckhart Tolle? A couple people suggested that I read "The Power of Now" but I never listened. I've been suggested tons of stuff that I didn't think would work in the past (or I tried it and it really didn't) so I paid it no mind when people suggested him and his...

So at the moment I'm feeling very stuck/helpless and I would love some advice.. In June 2008 I started having panic attacks and I was admitted to the hospital. I left with presciptions to Zoloft, Seroquel (for sleep), and Ativan. They also assigned me to a therapist. Throughout the rest of 2008...

I'm 19 and have never had a job. I need one but I've been putting it off because I'm terrified of it. I can't go out in public for long without getting all the physical symptoms of my anxiety which is when I remove myself from wherever I am and go home. I get shaky, dizzy, sweaty, weak feeling...

I'm pretty sure I've written on here before about how lack of sleep makes my anxiety worse. I'm not sure why it does, but it does. It's like it makes my emotions more intense. I've been up for 33 hours. I couldn't sleep the other night and then I had to stay awake to go to a therapy session...

Hi guys. I'm 19 and I still haven't gotten my permit. I went once about a month ago and failed the test. Then I went back a couple weeks ago and failed again. I've been studying but I really don't even want to go back because I'm so scared of driving. The only reason I've taken the test is...

I've had over 100 dollars in birthday money since April and I'm finally going to spend it tonight. I'm terrified and feel like telling my mom that I don't want to go. The thought of leaving the house and going to a busy store makes my heart race and I've got that deep nervous feeling going on in...

Does anyone else here have sleep panic attacks? Apparently there are two types... one where you're sleeping, and one where you wake up before. I've been having them since I was little, but didn't know what they were until tonight. It doesn't happen every night.. I would say it happens a few...

Just curious, how bad is going out in public for you guys? I stay at home most of the time, and just the thought of going out makes my heart pound. It's a lot easier if I'm with someone, but still bad. Yesterday my mom dropped me off at Blockbuster. I didn't know she was dropping me off until...

Sooo... I have a hard time showing emotions in front of family. Does anyone else have that? Christmas/Thanksgiving are so hard because you're forced to be social and go to large gatherings. It's been okay so far this year. Christmas morning wasn't that bad. Me, my mom, and two sisters. Then I...

Anyone know any? I think the Green Day song "The Panic Song" is, but I'm not sure? Lol

I've noticed over the past year that the more tired I get the more anxious I get, and the easier it is for me to have a panic attack. Last weekend I ended up staying awake for just under 30 hours and I had my first panic attack since October. So it had been almost a year. I stayed up that long...

My name's Nick. I started having panic attacks in June 2008 after abusing ritalin (I know, stupid). Before last night, the last one I had was in October. Over the weekend I stayed up for about 30 hours, and had a lot of caffeine. By sunday night I was very anxious and had another panic attack. I...

I'm asking because I am and that's one of the main causes of my anxiety. I'm always scared I'm going to be beaten or killed or something. Plus I live in the south lol
