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 re-post this so it will be on the general forum rather than in the "Welcome" message. Nobody answers the posts in there. So just cut and paste your quesiton into a new thread and it will be first in line.
If you have any questions, just PM me and I'll walk you through it. PM me by placing your mouse over my name and a box will pop up that says "Leave a Message."
Thanks, Toots!

Hi All,
I am a 35yr female who has suffered from some degree of anxiety and ocd most of my life.But I have always been very healthy otherwise.About a year ago out of the blue I started to suffer from major neurological issues and migraines with aura. Neurologist suspected MS .I have since had every tests known to man and all were normal except low vitamin D and spots/lesions on brain mri.I rarely ever feel normal. No one can tell me what happened to cause all this to begin with.
I now am in a constant state of worry about if I am going to get a migraine or have other issues. I have been given preventitive migraine meds but I am hesitant to take them due to my anxiety about having a reaction to them. I have a bad track record with medication. Also my husband and I are trying to become pregnant. I am just in a constant state of pretty much freaking out all the time. I have also started to have panic attacks over the last year.I have IBS aswell...I am truely just a mess and have no idea how to deal with what I have become.....Sorry to ramble.....
Take Care, Theresa

Hi, I am a 22 year old male and i believe I am suffering from anxiety and have been to the doctor once when i had an elevated heart rate and didnt know why. He said there was nothing wrong and nothing about an anxiety disorder was mentioned but I now believe that's what it is. I have headaches only on my right side and i overall dont feel right. In addition to the headaches only on the right side I also have just a general dicomfort on only the right side of my abdomen and the right side of my chest often feels off too...as well as my right leg and right arm often dont feel right....I've been doing a lot of reading and found that the headaches can happen just one one side...but not much on the rest of the body...Does this happen with anxiety or should I be going back to the doctor?
Hi joanna and welcome to the forum! I'm glad you found us, but one small detail........
Posting on the "Welcome" message will get your post read only by the CL's (usually) The next time you write, please hit the green box that says "Post A Question." That will open a box for you to post your quesiton. In the "subject" line, write the main subject of your post such as "Worried about____________________" and fill in the blank with your concern very briefly. Move down to the "message" box and this is where you should write out your question in detail. Please be sure to include as much information as you can so we can help you. Once you have finished writing your post, click on the "send" tab at the lower right hand corner and that will get your post on the forum in the #1 spot. If you think of something later that you wish you had added to your origianl post, please do not begin a new thread. That gets too confusing. Simply click on the title of the post you've already written and scroll down to the blank box that says "Post Comment" and add whatever else you would like us to know. That keeps everything in one thread and easier for the rest of us to follow.
Hope to see you on the forum!
Peace
