I’ve notice since I’m no longer on meds for my anxiety disorder, I notice that I have been less social. not confident nor happy. feeling miserable. like I’m missing a lot in life not doing anything with it. and I’m about to turn 20. I tried to be social, but it feels uncomfortable. I talk for a few seconds then stop and feel like a lame ass. I know I have crazy fun side in me, but feel like this anxiety is not letting me show it. it’s holding me back. I need to know if there’s any way to be more social, and if it;s possible to deal with it without any help form a physician. I don’t have a job right now and. I don’t have that much money. like 1,248 dollars to be exact. I don’t want to spend money on treatment if I don’t have money. any advice???

my symptoms are anxiet/depression, a tight dizzy feeling in my forehead. My parents are talkign about divorce and I am having to move away from my friends and boyfriend for a job. The thing is, I am having really good dreams every night and I wake up very happy. Is this a chemical imbalance or situational depression?

I have bad anxiety and depression problems and I don’t have a job. I need one because i don’t have money to live, i live with my mom and she needs help with rent, food and bills. I have had a couple jobs but depression adn anxiety got in the way adn I quit them. if i were to go to college or university to get a degree what should i take to get a job where i can work mostly from home? (getting therapya dn drugs is not an option for me, i dont have the money for either and i dont have health care)

I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and often get fired. what kind of job do you think is suitable for me? If you have obsessive compulsive disorder what kind of job you have?

My symptoms is that I keep on checking things over and over again. For example, I keep on checking the door lock over and over again to see if it locked properly, so that I get a right feeling.

My 4 year old silky whines when he is anxious and sometimes barks. I need to know how to train him to be calm on command. He gets nervous and whines a several times a day, I think sometimes because he is bored or doesn’t know what is about to happen. How to I train him to be more confident and teach him that his job does not include worrying about that.

Will Free Clinics offer reasonable rates? I lost my job recently and want to save as much as I can on a doc’s visit. Do Free Clinics diagnose anti-anxiety problems? How does this work? I am in San Francisco and hear that it’s the best way to see a doctor when you have no health insurance. How does this work? Thanks for advice.

Jobs that can be beneficial for the coping and treatment of OCD? Jobs that dont cause the sufferer to feel so obsessed and compulsive about their job but still require a minimum BS or BA degree and are not dead end jobs?
I forgot to add stressful to the list, jobs that dont cause too much obsessions, compulsion and stress to occurr on a daily basis.
Jobs that also have coping mechanisms to the illness.

It’s past midnight and I can’t stop thinking about things going wrong in my life. These are normal everyday things that normal people would just deal with and move on from, but I’m unusually plagued with extreme worry and anxiety (lost job, no car, no license, filing for bankruptcy). I know this just happens, and I have to deal with it, but I have lost alot of faith in myself.

My husband had a nervous breakdown (not a full blown, hospital stay breakdown, but he was on medication and lost his job-which was the cause of the breakdown so this is a good thing). Since that time, he has not been the same even-tempered, rational person I knew. Please let me know if anyone out there has dealt with this and has any advise. Thanks.

My hair can’t grow no matter what i use… the back is really shor and the front is a kinda long but really thin, and i’m tired of it… once i shave my hair like a bold men and now either i did it again or eiter i do dread with what i have left, and i already made up my mind… what should i use…like shampoo, conditionner or gel or anything that can do the job…

I have a really deep fear about walking up to any store and asking for the application. That’s why I’ve only filled out online applications, but now I really need a job. I need some advice on how to get over my job searching anxiety.

I’m 19 and a freshman in college.

I want to get rid of my agoraphobia so that I can go out and do things without constantly being anxious. I always feel that I’m too ugly to go out in public and that everyone is watching and judging me when I go into a place with a lot of people. Outside of my job, I spend all my time at home on the computer.

, because I can’t get a job since I have really bad anxiety. How much do you think they would pay me monthly? please no rude comments, thank you!
the government usually pays the disability people

I would assume one would get an undergrad degree and a masters in psychology– is that enough to counsel as a therapist? I do know that psychologist/psychiatrist will need to obtain an PhD but what about therapists? Would an MA in psychology suffice and where could one get a job with this credential? Knowledgeable answers only please.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), anyone else have this?

Holy chicklets, I never, NEVER believed my wife that over the last 5 years at running my property maintenance business (cut grass mostly) that I changed as much as I have during the slow season for me, and the SAD season as well. But i have written a bunch on here as well as kept a journal, things about my wife cheating, me being depressed, my life basically sucking as..eggs, and now that I am full bore busy and working what seems like every day. (actualy have the last 3 weeks) and today its pouring, so I had a chance to read some of what I wrote…..

I don’t even know that guy, really? My wife cheating stems from her job with a construction company, all men, and I felt inferior for a while, but for what ever reason, don’t feel like they area threat at all. They still may be, but I trust my wife and I am a hell of a lot better looking, though anywhere from 10-15 years older then the dudes.

My question is if you dealt with this, is this a normal wake up call? What have you done to battle it, once you figured out it was coming on? I DO NOT want to go on like that again this fall/winter… already looking to line up some part time work so I am not sitting on my asz all day wondering what is going on with my wife/kids/finances/the world…etc..
thanks
