I have been having panic attacks for over a year now. Although I have not had a panic attack for a while because I have been on medication specifically lexapro. I have been dealing with anxety problems off and on as well. The medication has helped a lot but I really don't like how it affects some things in my life, like my sex drive. I wanted to see if anyone knew of an alternative way to help me so I can discontinue the meds.

I am really begining to think I will never be able to beat this depression. It just seems that every avenue I attempt to get better, I run into a brick wall, then end up back at square one. Is anybody in the same situation?

I wear a wristband to hide them. They've never hurt this bad. It's been quite a while, so I don't get why they're not healed up. Please help! I don't want to tell my parents. They think I quit a long time ago.

It's always a slightly different dream, but every few months for a long time (like years) I've had a recurring theme in my dream. I'm always in my house and panicking because either me or someone else is in some kind of extreme danger (sometimes I'm being hunted down by an intruder, sometimes somebody is having a heart attack, etc.).

Anyway I always need to call the police or an ambulance, but I always have difficulty doing this. Sometimes I can't find the phone, sometimes I can't get a dial tone, sometimes i can't remember the emergency number, sometimes dialling the number just doesn't work and sometimes the person on the other end thinks I'm making it up. Anyway I can never get the help I need and I start to panic even more. I have woken up to find myself physically crying sometimes.

What could this mean? It's weird.

I constantly worry about things and expect the worse out of every situation or person.

For example, I swear my boyfriend is cheating on me even when I KNOW he never has or ever will. I'll overanalyze everything and make up reasons to think he's cheating on me, eventually resulting in arguments between me and him.

Another example is that I am pregnant and am obsessed with reading up on things that can go bad with pregnancy. I start to self dianose myself.

How do I just calm down and look at things half full instead of half empty?

I woke up two nights ago around 430a.m. Standing right at my closet door was an image of a person. I was scared but I was in disbelief. I kept blinking my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. The image facing me just slowly dissapated in about a minute plus. Do you think I saw a ghost?

Did you feel this world won't let you go? Did you consider suicide?
Did you not sleep well for days. How did it feel once you got through it? What brought on the breakdown? Are you experienced?

I have been on Klonopin since Feb. It makes me very very sleepy. I've tried to tell the Dr this and every time, he puts me on a higher dose thinking I won't get as sleepy. It's been 6 months now! Either my Dr doesn't believe me or doesn't care. So finally I made the decision to go to another Dr. Now I'm worired that the next one won't believe me either. Does anyone have anyting? Is there as Phyciatrist on board here? Maybe you have a home remedy to stop me from worrying. It never did do anything for anxiety in the first palce. I've told them this too and they just ignore me. Any Ideas?
