Natural treatment for anxiety symptoms and panic attacks.
I’m seeing a therapist for social anxiety & I feel like a phantom menace has a death-grip on my mind. Is this anxiety or something else?
I am new to photography and am going to be starting a college for photography next month. In the meantime I would really like to set up a "studio". I would like to put up a background stand and buy some backdrops. I wanted to get a continuous light softbox in the meantime, and eventually buy a softbox with flash after I have learned enough about it in school. I was looking online and saw two different options and wondered what would be best for me. I also don’t understand what amount of wattage bulb I should be looking for, my "studio" has quite a bit of natural light due to a large window, so that may make a difference.
The first softbox I was looking at was 50×70 cm with an 85 watt bulb, however that doesnt sound like enough light to me.
And the other was a 20 x 28 inch softbox, with a 1000 watt bulb
Also, I have a fear that since these are so low priced that they may be cheap and cause a fire hazard as the lights get hot.
Could anyone recomment what size of softbox I should get (for infant portraits) and what amount of wattage bulb I should be looking for considering the natural light in my studio area. I would take this advice and go to a photography supply store near my home looking for a softbox with that kind of wattage. Obviously you need to buy a softbox that can handle a really hot light so that you don’t start a fire. So if I knew what amount of light I would need I could go from there.
This is the 1000 watt softbox I was looking at

who was always shy as a child until he married a very outgoing girl.
And probably went through a lot of therapy.
Now he is a good salesman.
He & his wife have a thriving business.
I also have SOCIAL ANXIETY.
HOW CAN I LEARN to be a good salesman like my uncle?
HOW MUCH TIME will I have to spend in Therapy to learn how to become a good salesman?
Took down the light fixture & plastic box in our bathroom to put in a ceiling fan. I was hoping for a 2×4 to be there to attach the new metal box but there is a then metal strip that the plastic bax was bolted to. It’s thicker than the strips used between joist and is crimped for strength. Should the thin metal bar be able to hold the 42" fan? Thanks!
I suffer from panic disorder for a couple of years now. I have gone to psychiatrists, psychologists, read books & been on medication. Most of the time i feel horrible. I would just like to know if there is actually a person out there who has recovered from panic disorder without the drugs, which i absolutely cannot handle. And i’m not talking about those infomercial people, which you are not sure if they are being honest or not. Panic disorder is hell on earth & i would like to know if anybody has been able to escape it…

I have developed some not exactly healthy methods to deal with stress, including smoking. I mention it because needing to have a smoke is one of the biggest indicator I’m under too much stress.
Work, money, eating right, difficult people, traffic, things breaking down around the house, negative news, etc…
I don’t necessarily want to be able to handle more stress.
I’ve started a journal where I have noted the things that I find stressful, and have rated them according to how stressful they are and how much control I have over them.
I am open to any answers, even pollyanna & (non-fundie) religious ones.
I’m looking for advice on what the path towards better stress management really entails. Any good books you could suggest, too.
Thank you in advance.
I deal with a lot of stress & anxiety on a regular basis. I’m just one of those people that over analyze everything! I wish it wasn’t so difficult to deal with daily stress so any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
anything from diet, exercise, books to read, websites…
What is it that makes people get scared & fear of dieing when they are getting chest pains due to cause they suffer from Anxiety? why do chest pains make you feel this way?!
It’s flea & tick treatment time for my 9 mo old GSD. Can I use a human sleeping pill like Lunesta or an anti anxiety tablet like Lorazepam, before attempting this? She is large and I don’t have anyone to help me with this task. She won’t stay still enough for me to be accurate and consistent with the line of application from neck to base of tail.
I know there are likely veterinarian medicines I could give her for this and as a last result will go to the vet tomorrow to get something from them—if they issue such a thing. I am afraid they will tell me they can apply the treatment for .
Please, no moralizing about proper care or how I should be rich before caring for a dog. I love my dog and don’t want her to suffer from the fleas and ticks and have purchased the treatment which was expensive enough.
Thanks for those who will help me know if either of those medicines will be OK to help me, help her.
Personal Experiences only please
- No thoughts on whether or not you think it might work, no stupid comments like "go on a diet & get some exercise" I’ve heard it all before….
All i want to know is if you’ve tried hynotherapy, did it work and would you recommend it and would you do it again?
Sorry if I appear rude, but personal experience is really all i’m after… Thanks 
How does a dog actually get separation anxiety? Genetics? Abuse? How do you cope with a dog that has separation anxiety? Can the dog ever be fixed to become a normal stable dog? Or can the situation be controlled with training & exercise? Please answer. Thanks!
One more thing, are dogs with separation anxiety supposed to be crated when no one is watching so that the dog does not bring down the whole house?
anger, anxiety, depression are on increase and ill effects are just destroying the society.
World over steps have to be taken to control & contain these anger, anxiety, depression else it will be too late.
So I had a physical yesterday and my doctor says I seem to be in generally good health. I went over all my symptoms of the last 2 weeks and having not been feeling "myself" (losing sleep, appetite on occasion). However, I am not vomiting, and not having issues w/ going to the bathroom. I feel dizzy, tired, and basically any symptom seeming to deal with anxiety or stress. He said for me to come back in 3 months, but I’m not sure I want to wait that long should these symptoms persist.
I’m driving my wife crazy with my up and down emotional & physical state, and I feel bad about it. Anyone have suggestions on how I can help improve my condition if my doctor says I’m ok physically & my lab results indicate the same?
I’m looking into going to a sedation dentist because I need a lot of work & gag easily. I read about some that give you a pill to take beforehand & you start feeling very relaxed & are awake but feel no pain. Has anyone with an anxiety disorder ever done this? If so, how did it work out for you?
