Today i just woke up with this feeling in my chest that i think is bad anxiety. I guess if i know why im feeling that way its easy to correct my thinking but today it just stayed with me for a few hours and it felt really bad.

It started yesterday when my gf was upset and didnt call me before i went to bed. I called her up, we talked out the whole problem and i thought i was fine.

Today when i woke up my chest started to feel really tight. I also had a bad feeling throught my whole body almost like high blood presure. When i got to work it got much worse so i called my gf. After another hour i felt better.

Is there anything i can do to help get over this panic feeling/ anxiety i get faster? Maybe drink more water, less sugar, sleep more anything?

Have you done it? How does it make you feel? I have to get on a plane tonight and I want to take the benadryl as a sleep-aid. FYI; I usually take my Zoloft at night.

my roommates at the time never came to visit once and we had all been friends and spent time together almost everyday before then. To me it was a slap in the face. Would this piss someone off if it had happened to them? I would be there for my friend every step of the way and in more recent events I have had roommates who have visited me if I had to go in the hospital. I guess I take it as a personal hit when your own friends dont show. I dunno let me know what you think. Thank you.

For anyone who suffers from it, did/do you find it difficult, if not impossible, to give anything to a relationship? Do you feel that you have nothing to offer, and cannot give yourself to someone in a relationship? If so, why do/did you feel that you were not giving enough? Is it just a result of lack of emotional energy?

My ex is the one going through this, although we have little communication because I want to let him have his space. We've been apart for about 7 months now, but I still really care for him and worry. I've told him time and time again that I am always here for him if he needs anyone to talk to or listen, let him know that I care and encouraged him to get help. Should I continue to keep in light contact with him every once in a while? You know, just send an email or something letting him know that I care and am thinking about him? Or have I done enough, all that I can do, and should I just step back and let him come to me? I don't want him to feel I've abandoned him

5 yrs ago, my hub was a very angry and irrational person. Told me things like we might have to do without electricity when our money probs were bad( but not THAT bad). Even though he knew I was clinically depressed, he told me that the house had to be clean or there would be no Xmas tree put up, and I said that would be punishing the kids, but he didnt' seem to get it. Told me I might have to do without water because he didn't have time to figure out what was wrong, and I was floored! I was afraid of his anger and felt I know longer knew him and that he didnt' love me. The kids were what kept us together. Left him for one day, he agreed to get help. Put on meds for Bipolar, and said he thought didn't help, but I thought they did. Doc never let me know for sure what they figured out. Anyway, I met some 1 in depression chat room. Felt so guilty and confessed to hub and told him I had cybered twice. That is so "NOT" me btw. Then, when things didn't improve, please hold on answers...

She prescribed Lexapro, but the insomnia associated with it prompted me to stop. Based on the info that Ive gotten from researching, tere are Pros and Cons to taking anti depressants . one of the cons is the withdrawl smyptoms associated with anti depressants once youre deemed "not depressed anymore". Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions other than anti depressants to get through depression?

okay i have never ever liked smoking in my entire life. i am an 19 year old guy dealing with waves of depression. first, i have had small teen depression history but i quickly got over it. my dad got critically ill over the summer and then passed away. i have stooped super low in depression and i needed to find an outlet to let it all go. i feel really lonely now and miss dad all the time. my mom hasnt been particularly well either. started college and the college stress is mounting as well. i don't know how i started, maybe i was just trying something new for the thrill of it, but i have smoked quite a few cigarettes by now. 6 i think in the past month. i have never ever liked smoking and stopped my friends from doing so myself in the past but now i don't know what's gotten into me. please help me find a way away before i get addicted. thanks
and a way to deal with the depression too

I suffered from depression for about a year and am only just starting to get back on track. But I have been getting really down lately and I want to talk about my feelings and thought about seeing a counsellor as I find it hard to talk to my mum even though I am close to her. I try talking to my friends but they're making me feel lonely and upset at the moment as if they dont listen to me. I am rather confused about the way I feel at the moment and dont know how to express my emotions. What should I do? I am only 15 and feel as if I have noone mature enough to handle this situation to talk to.

For many years, I have suffered from a low self-esteem, with bouts of severe depression and moments of high anxiety. I used to deal with these issues by self-medicating with alcohol, but my liver enzymes are elevated (ALT is 74) so I'm almost afraid to drink too much any more.

I was feeling ok this year until I went to visit my Grandma for a few weeks. She recently married again at 70, and she and her new husband, David, were usually nice to me before they got married. But I soon realized that David is a phony, a man who uses religion to manipulate people, and that he has a mean streak. It was so bad that I wound up buying a plane ticket home!

But since then, I haven't felt emotionally well. I've been severely depressed about everything in my life. I sometimes cry for no reason, I can't sleep, I overeat, and can't make myself finish my schoolwork (I'm a 32 year old college student). I feel like I've gotten over the situation, but can't get back on track. What's wrong with me?

do these sound like symptoms of anxiety...1.constantly thinking/feeling like im going to die, or something bad will happend to myself/family 2.cannot sleep well 3. always tired during the day. 4.moody at times, and then get nervous/anxious over minor things 5.one night i actually thought i was DEAD,or being possessed by the devil or something.. on the outside i seemd fine, but on the inside my mind was freaking out 6. sometimes i get nervous and heart starts racing when speaking to my family/friends. when i do have those feelings like "im dying" or "losing it", my body gets real hot/tingly feeling with racing heartbeat. therefore, i presume this is anxiety. which ive made an appt with a doctor. i havent seen this dr since my insurance changed and switched dr's. my q is, in any of your experience or knowledge... when i do tell him these symptoms, will he give me the meds to benefit myself, even though it will be my 1st visit w/ him. i really would like to try xanax or valium. but

She cheated on her b/f of 9 years, 4 TIMES, with the same person. She got pregnant while cheating and got an abortion. 9 year b/f forgave her over and over.

She is mentally gone for some reason OTHER than 9 year b/f. The person she cheat on him with is a drunk with so many DUI's, on parole for 5 years, no driver's licence, is abusive, chronic gambling/loser, controlling, FAT and GREASY, not to mention BUTT uglier than a dog's **** with crusty green diahhrea for a complexion.

Why would she give up a college educated, GENUINELY great down to earth MAN who was a Marine for a sub-human loser?

This former Marine is my friend. All he ever did was love, honor and cherish her. Please shed some light on this. Thank you.

I'm used to working for a living, but I have schizophrenia and can't work because my medication costs $2300 a month. The meds work great but my office skills are going to waste and I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything. I live out in the country in Tennessee and would appreciate any thoughts on this or at least some good nonfiction books to read. I'm bored.

When I'm stressed I think too much about stuff and have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. If I wake up at all to use the bathroom I can't get back to bed and end up being tired all day long. I don't want to take any medicine for this. I want other suggestions.
