How should I resolve this driving anxiety?




I have an anxiety disorder and often get obsessed with driving safety. This morning I was on a two lane road that became a one lane road. I was in the left lane, which was the lane being merged into. I feel that a shoulder check is unnecessary in this situation, but I get paranoid and obsessed. To add to my confusion, my dad told me that I should just look anyway to see if someone is trying to beat me. I don’t know what to think now.

How can I get help with anxiety disorder?




I believe I have anxiety disorder. I don’t need to get into why.

I have no family doctor, so I have no idea how to begin getting help.

Should I just walk into a walk in clinic?

I’ve been suffering from anxiety disorder and depression 2 years now and in those 2 years my social skills have dropped tragically and i have zero confidence when it comes to asking a lady out on a date or anything like that.
Im seeing a therapist a couple of times a week and im improving little by little but still a long way to go

was just wondering if anyone else here who suffers from depression or anxiety disorder could tell me do they have the same problems ?

Like, if someone with anxiety disorder heard on TV that Pizza could kill you, so you stop eating Pizza all together. Or someone found out mountain lions lived in their region, so they refuse to spend any time outdoors.
Or another thing. If the government makes a stupid law, and someone would be more fearful of being punished over disobeying this law, over being able to have the ability to declare the law as stupid.

Anxiety treatment, help?




I have spoken to my doctor and he thinks I have some sort of anxiety disorder and recommended me to a mental health counselling service and wants to put me on prozac but wants to run it by them first. That was weeks ago and I received a letter telling me the service are passing me on to someone else. I’m booking an appointment with the school counsellor but can I go back to him and ask for the prescription of prozac anyway? I had a panic attack at school today and I couldn’t hold my pen my hand was shaking so badly. I don’t want people to think I’m a freak!
I’m 16 btw.

any over-the-counter pills to calm stress/anxiety?




I’m not clinically diagnosed with anxiety disorder by any means, but in certain stressful situations I have a tendency to get pretty emotional and depressive and once in a while it has spiraled out of control. this isn’t chronic or random, I just have bad reactions to stress. My boyfriend is studying abroad for a couple months and I don’t want to be a blubbering mess at the airport. Any suggestions? Thanks

It seems like every December something turns up that causes me to worry nonstop and makes me feel guilty all the time. This time it’s a chance sexual encounter that was sort of odd. I now cannot stop feeling guilty over the fact that it happened and imagined repercussions of it.

I know my thoughts are overboard and distorted, but they don’t seem to give up. Any advice on how I can put things in better perspective?

I know I have anxiety disorder, but I’m looking for some practical suggestions. Thanks a lot.

Anxiety…?




I am a wreck. I can’t sleep at night without calling my Mom at least once and saying, "I love you" a million times. I’m afraid something will happen to me or my family and I not there to say good-bye. I always look out my bedroom window at night to see if anything unusual is in the sky. My mom can’t be out more than two hours without me having to call her (when I stay home alone). I hate this experince! It is very frightening and I have even considered taking prescribtion medicine to wave away those types of thoughts. I have talked numerously to the school counselour, but my mind is no where near ease. I never had this anxiety (disorder) last year. It came from no where! What can I do to clear away my anxiety? (P.S. Last night, I had a dream my Dad got shot and this man walked up and said he died, but then I practically jumped awake).

How can you tell if you have an anxiety disorder?




I think i have some sort of anxiety disorder or I’m depressed or something. I’ve researched a lot about it and I have almost all of the symptoms/signs of the anxiety, but I’m not sure. I’m scared to tell my parents about it, so there any way that i could get tested or something without my parents knowing?

I have a severe anxiety disorder and it lead to depression. My panic attacks first started more than 6 years ago.
I was awesome for a few years then I had another which started the whole recovery process again.
The relapse attack happened on a cruise and now I’m terrified to travel. That was almost 2 years ago, and I still don’t want to travel. I always dreamed of going everywhere in the world.
Will I ever be normal again?

I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and have been on Cipralex for more than a year now. Besides, I was advised to take vitamine B pills for it is good for nerves. However, after a fortnight of taking vitamine B pills I begin to feel the anxiety which I wanted to avoid by these pills. Can these vitamine B pills cause an onset of anxiety and panic attacks if they are overdosed?

Hi, I’m looking for my first summer job, but I suffer from a strong anxiety disorder which limits a lot of options. My psychaitrist said a job is good to give me a sense of responsibility and confidence, but I don’t think I can handle the job. I would love to know if anyone who went through similar situations have any suggestions?

Thank You

My friend developed an anxiety disorder while working at her current company. They have assistance available, and she is taking advantage of that. However, though her immediate boss is working with her to reduce her stress and anxiety at work, the general manager is overriding these methods and making life at work difficult for my friend. She is beginning to think her days at this job are numbered and that she will be fired soon. Is this legal, or is it covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act?
