She is really scared and nervous and doesn’t want to go. It seemed like the doctors and parents caught her before the eating disorder got worse because she doesn’t seem "dangerously/extremely thin" but I’m not saying she doesn’t have a disorder. She has also attempted suicide before and was very depressed for a while and still struggles with self harm. She also told me she abused zoloft for a while. WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO! She is scared to go and is afraid of what is going to happen there.

Can someone please tell me the steps she would have to go through while she is at a treatment/behavioral center? I would also like to see what she is going through and what will happen while she is there away from everyone. How will they help her? What will they do? Please tell me everything. I do not want her to be afraid, she needs the help. Do you have to do the 30-day thing?

My friend told me that a lot of doctors have started prescribing alcohol to treat social anxiety disorder. He says he has a prescription for bacardi rum and that is why he is always drinking it. Is this true or is he pulling my leg?

Think about it for a second before you answer… wouldn’t they be too afraid of even making an appointment with someone or talking to a doctor about it to tell them what’s going on? I mean, I’m terrified of talking to anyone, so I don’t know, maybe I have social anxiety disorder, but "anyone" includes doctors and everything, so there’s no way in hell I could ever work up the nerve to actually tell anyone that in real life. I can’t even deal with calling a friend on the phone to ask about a homework assignment, let alone a complete stranger to make an appointment to talk about something that’s actually embarassing! So what I don’t get is how anyone can actually be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, cause it seems to me that if they made it as far as being diagnosed then the probably don’t have it.
Ok, everyone so far has pretty much missed the point. I’m actually perfectly happy most of the time to be alone, but the point is that if I DID want to get treated for "social anxiety disorder," I wouldn’t be able to because it would make me too nervous, and if I could do it then I wouldn’t have need to be treated in the first place. Get it?

I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for years. I have tried many maint drugs,effexor, lexpro, zoloft, with not help. I have suggested to my doctor that maybe I could have a prescription for xanax, Klonopin or ativan to take only as needed. I generally can feel my attacks comming on and can prepare for a stressful situation if I have some fast acting mild meds to help. A dentist gave me ativan for dental treatments. I take it only as prescribed and fould it to be very effected. How can I get my GP to understand that I do not want to get high, but I must be able to function at some level in my life. My sister suggested that I would do well to attend counseling and that drug therapy could be a part of that. Are doctors just affraid of creating additicts that they would allow their patients lose their entire quality of life? I have never had a problem with addition Any suggestions?

I have been getting tension headaches everyday for the past 4 years and somebody said to me that I could have hypertension, and that beta blocker is what is good for the condition. And they give it to children who suffer from migraines, I will go to the doctors about but was just wondering if you could give me any advise on the matter?

I recently have been on this site for quite some time asking and I moved say maybe 21/2 years ago and I got so stressed and depressed from the move. My best friends all moved also I don’t talk to them a lot anymore. About a year ago I suffered from an anxiety attack at a dinner table it was horrible followed by a week of depression. I believe it has to do with stress related anxiety. Its weird because I’m nearly always fine in the summer but something always happens in the winter. This winter was the winter of hell. Me and my friend got into a fight after being together everyday she’s a girl and im a boy. We don’t talk as much now. Okay ive experienced mostly all anxiety symptoms including stress. Im worrying constantly about brain tumors now and before it was all the other serious diseases and ive never worried about this before. I get headaches but there like nothing at all. I keep getting these weird feeling in my head that last about 4 seconds there horrible it feels like someone’s squeezing my brain in but they go away followed by pressure from the amount of anxiety. Ive been getting tension headaches followed by no Nausea at all, no fever, no vomiting!!! I CANT STOP WORRING!! Ive been to the doctors already they told me that its allergies and my age???I don’t see anyone else in my school accept for like 2 ppl that have anxiety..What is this
Okay i will talk to my parents. It is becoming a serious problem.

I’ve been through every test there is since I had a really scary tachycardia and every doctor I have seen says that my heart is fine and something else is causing the rapid and irregular beats. My condition has not improved and you can trust me that they have checked everything. I don’t think it is possible that I am causing this symptom, but could my subconscious or my nervous system be causing this? I’ve been reading up on it and it would explain why my doctors can’t find the source but yet acknowledge the problem.
if more details will help then read my previous questions I have asked. Thanks.

Ive been told by my doctors after extensive tests, that what im experiencing is anxiety attacks. Can someone confirm exactly what they feel like, the thing is, when i get these feelings, i arent panicking about anything and im pretty calm. just scary feelings. Its like firstly its like a ball has come in my throat and difficult to breath, then feels like my heart has stopped and im dizzy and off balance, feel like im sinking into floor if i walk, make sense? head feels like it has a balloon inside, and these feelings just appear out of nowhere and disappear the same, can last 1 minute to 4 hours. are these panic/anxiety attacks?
Well, to post number 3, that site certainly stopped my attack, through boredom, i hate those sales websites asking for for one CD? lol no change, thanks anyway
