Welcome to the Anxiety Forum
WELCOME TO THE ANXIETY FORUM!
Welcome everyone to the Anxiety Forum. This is the place to come if you have questions or concerns about anxiety/panic, related medications and their side effects and recovery.
Some of our members have been living with anxiety and related disorders for years, while others are new to the waiting rooms of psychiatrists/therapists and the rainbow of medications available to treat our various conditions.
Regardless of what brings you here, welcome!
Be sure to check out the "Health Pages," you'll find the link in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Health Pages address topics related to Anxiety/Panic and among the pages you will find a list of common anxiety related acronyms. It's a great resource!
Once you have looked around, why not create a profile and tell us a little about yourself? Your profile can be as simple or as complex as you like. You will meet people from around the world and have the opportunity to learn from, and help, others who share our same concerns. Once you've created a profile, check out "My Med Help" at the top of the page and check out the many great features and setting options that are available.
Consider posting on a current thread, or starting one of your own. Don't worry; you'll get the hang of it quickly! You can also track how you feel from day to day with the mood tracker located on the top right hand of the page. Along with this, there is also an anxiety tracker, which of course is perfect for this forum. Just like with your mood you will be able to track your progress throughout your journey with us here on the forum.
If you've got something on your mind, please don't be shy or embarrassed! Most of us have "been there and done that!" THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS! We are ALL here to learn!
Get acquainted with other members.....there are several ways to do this. You can scroll over a persons name and "Add a Friend," this allows you to send notes and gives that person access to your journals. Do you want to speak privately with another member? Send a Private Message (PM). Again, simply scroll over their name and click on "Send Message." Only have a minute but want to welcome a new member? Congratulate someone, wish someone a better day or give someone a 'cyber-hug', then scroll on their name and click on "Send a Note." Again, welcome to the forum!

Please don't post in the "Welcome" thread. Your questions and concerns will be mostly ignored as most people don't bother to read it. Instead, begin your own thread by clicking on the green "Post a Question" bar which will open a window for you to write in. Putting in a specific TITLE for your thread is very important so that people will know immediately what your concern is. Examples would be "Can't sleep due to anxiety," "Scared of weird head feelings," "Is this normal for panic attacks?" Something like that. And please give us as much information as possible...........we don't need an epic tome of your life, but if you are wondering about a specific side effect of a medication, please be sure to tell us that you're also taking X,Y & Z along with it. The dosage is also important as is the length of time you've been on it. Any pertinent medical conditions you have help us to understand you better, enable us to answer your question more completely. Your age and your sex also is information that can help us. Please fill out your profile as completely as possible.
I know getting use to the workings of an unfamiliar forum can be confusing, but you'll soon get the hang of it. I just want to make sure your questions get in front of our posters so they can respond.
It would be great if you went back and cut and pasted your post into your own thread.
You came here for help and we want to give that to you, but your question will probably be ignored unless it's on the board.
If you have any questions, go to any post with my name, or cjs or nursegirls and open it. Scroll down until you come to our name and hover your mouse over our name. That will open a box and one of the options will be "Send a Message." That is called a "PM," or private message and will arrive in my home email. I will be able to get to you sooner regarding your question about getting on the forum.
Thanks so much and welcome to the forum!
Peace
