I have cronic lower back pain that shoots down my legs, The veterans hospital is passing out Gabapentin, which is a seizure medication, and it does nothing for my pain. In fact it makes it worse, due to the side effects, Ie makes me sleep, lay in bed untill my back completly locks up putting the pain level up to a 10, I have already discussed this issue, the sent me more Gabapentin, What a joke..while I am on a long waitng list for testing.....be all you can be...right

I don't know why I have this stigma about being stupid, but so much of the time I am really uncomfortable because I feel I am lacking in the way of cognative abilities. I know intelligence does not exactly measure success or happiness, but for some reason I place intelligence above all other traits and really admire those I perceive as smart and then get really upset with myself because I am not a mathematical mastermind and cannot write florid prose with the utmost ease. I know that basically everyone has to deal with the fact that there are many, many people more intelligent than them but for some reason it just gets me so down! Gah, I'm such a mess and afraid to go to uni because then everyone will find out what an absolute fraud I am and how I was accepted with much lesser qualifications (I'm American and was accepted at University of St Andrews on the basis of my transcript alone and basically the fact that my teachers all really liked me because I was a tenacious worker).

Ok here it is. I think I suffered from social anxiety for a long time.I remember leaving choir,church or other social situatins right when its over so I dont have to talk to any one,as I was leaving those places I though everybody was watching my every single behavior,that was at age 14. At 16 it gone worse, in high school I had 3 last classes where I didnt know any one,so I was just sitting there being really tense and panicky,quiet ready to explode,so I started ditching those 3 classes every day cause I couldn't take it anymore,so I took home school. At 18 I went to college but I felt so tense and uncomfortable,inferior,worthless,hopeless that I dropped all my classes shortly. Now at age 21 it gone really bad. After being anxious and started having panic attacks about 2 years ago,I developed depression,because life is very limited to what I can do. I developed agorophobia. I can barely go to grocery store or drive in traffic.Where did it came from? How can I beat this terrible thing?

if you are suffering from anxiety and depression, have you found a natural alternative, that is working and helping you to control them? how much does it cost?

i have been on paxil and effexor for years, and they have been mistakes and caused more anxiety, so i am not looking for any psychiatric medication.

i have had to quit my job, because of my anxiety and depression. i am afraid of communicating, because people always treat me different and in a bad way different that i can't stand. i am also very angry at people and life in general. i have quit all my friendships due to my anger. people's words are rarely their actions.

i am aware that not working is causing me these problems and loneliness, i just can't go back to being treated and stared at like i am a disease.

yes, i have seen a psychiatrist for years, a counsellor as well (currently) and they don't help. i know i am the only one to change my life, the professionals can only advise me.

please and thank you.

I have been missing an exceptional amount of work due to being diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and I found out that my job is cutting everyone's benefits the end of November. Due to my health problems (I also have insulin dependant diabetes) I need health insurance and cannot live without it. I have tried to get on Medicaid in the past and was told that I needed to be on disability in order to get it. This was before I had the psos. I have been in extreme pain due to my psos and unable to go to work for 3 weeks now and I have tried various pain medicines and even had surgery but I'm still experiencing problems. Does anyone know what steps I should take to get on disability? I cannot go without an income, I have bills to pay and due to my medical conditions it is imperitive that I have Health insurance! Also I am 26 and live in Ohio.

Have you ever, or do you have seizures during your flashbacks...independent of the flashback itself. In other words, do some flashbacks make you look like your are having an epileptic seizure while others don't?

Has anyone ever suggested you may have a seizure disorder?

I'm trying to diet, but I just can't give up my favorite foods that are considered not very healthy (ie. pizza, alfredo pasta, ribs). I was thinking of just cutting down the amount I eat in half, so I am always half full, but get hungry more quickly. So I plan to eat more often (every 2 hours) when I get hungry but still only until I'm about half full. When it comes to exercise I do cardio 4 times a week for 30 minutes each. If I'm just looking to lose 1-2 pound a week for the first several weeks, can this kind of diet work?
