This forum is for questions and support regarding tips and techniques to help people begin to take accountability and responsibility for their general well-being and move towards improvement in all areas of their life: work, home, and relationships. Professional coaching is about setting goals, creating results, communicating with those around you to create a healthy environment, and managing change.

By participating in this coaching forum you are not entering into a doctor-patient or attorney-client relationship. You agree to seek independent professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other matters. You understand that all decisions in these areas are exclusively yours and you acknowledge that your decisions and actions regarding them are your sole responsibility.
Coaching is very different from therapy or counseling. It is a pro-active approach instead of a dependent reliance upon a counselor or therapist to unearth the hidden issues buried deep in a person’s past. Coaching deals with the "here-and-now" and acknowledges that each individual can take responsibility for their own life by having tools and resources that support them. Coaching focuses on wellness and expects the individual to be an active participant in his own well-being.

The first recommendation is to rule out any medical conditions, which scheduling an appointment with your primary physician can do. Next, I would recommend professional counseling. Based on your comments, you are experiencing a lot of symptoms. Everyone experiences mild to moderate anxiety at times but since you are consistently experiencing these over a prolonged period of time you need professional support and assistance. When you aren't able to help yourself, this is the time to seek outside professional help.

What does your doctor who prescribed the meds say and wonder about your 'head' condition'; can you elaborate?
