    Xanax is not the answer it is a very slippery slope don't let anyone convince you this helps! Doctors may want to give you anti anxiety drugs but do yourself a favor and never take them!!!!!

    I had very severe anxiety problems, and was diagnosed with G.A.D. It was under control with medication. It got the worst when I was working midnights. As I got regular sleep, my symptoms got better.

You know I love you, Deucer......and I know this stings, but someone needs to give you a swift kick in the ass. Life isn't going to get any easier, pal. Don't let me catch you coming to some nerd filled, male dominated online chit-chat room looking for help with the pressures of life. Grow a pair and show a little mental toughness, for fukks sake.
    I understand. I was up at 3am because I was studying. I typed this at the library. I am currently back at the library studying. Opie, I understand what you're saying, I don't want to feel this way, pal. Today I am feeling a bit better to be honest. It will all get better with time, as does everything. Just bombarded with stress the last few months and I think it finally caught up to me. We're all done for a month here after tonight. Things should settle a bit.

    I don't want pills. Everything I read says it turns you into a robot. I need to learn how to harness the stress and transfer that stress positively in other ways. We may look into meditation, yoga, anything possible to relax the mind.

    it's a bitch, but one that you can handle. and one thing to remember, if you think you're going crazy but can actually think that thought to yourself, be assured that you in fact won't go crazy as crazy people arent aware.. anxiety people have a heightened sense of awareness--- can be a bless or a detriment. up to you to decide

    good luck and if you ever need someone to talk to, can hit me up
    this guy is right. its not nervousness like ppl think it is its anxiety, panic like you are losing it. can be pretty bad if you are using drugs. deuce if you feel true anxiety then you are scared you might go crazy, if thats the case you need some xanax from time to time

    Agreed, exercise helps. I have a tough time going out in public without alcohol. Just get over-run with anxiety when around large groups of people. I have no problems going to loud bars/clubs on the weekend because I Pre-Game with friends before hitting the town. But I'll be damned if I can't step into a grocery store at 10am without feeling like I am going to have a panic attack.

    Well, I generally have no problem associating in large groups whatsoever. Last week I remember the professor walked over to talk to me and I almost passed out. No clue what is going on, man. I was at work when it happened talking with a few people in a small setting when I felt like I was going to pass out. That was last Thursday when it all started. Quite a bit has been on my mind lately but at the time I remember I wasn't thinking about anything really. I remember driving home from work I felt almost like I needed to pull over in fear of passing out behind the wheel. I stopped at my parents house because it is closer to work and napped for a bit instead of driving home. It has slowly subsided where I don't feel the anxiety as strong but I still feel the "Sea Legs" feeling a bit. It may just be something brought on by the virus I had last week combined with the overload on shit on my mind. It doesn't help when I feel like I am going to lose it because then I start to think about losing it and it makes it that much worse. Never ending cycle almost. I have no issues sleeping but when I do wake up I feel quite groggy and still very tired even though I will get 6-8 hours of rest. Today is a better day even with a pile of shit in front of me I have to know by 7pm. Time will tell of course whether or not it is something I need to address with a physician. All signs so far that I research point to having anxiety issues.

    No, don't want any pills. Pills turn people into robuts. Also, never knock a man for furthering his education, whether he is 15 years old or 65 years old. Education is something that no one will ever be able to take from you. I am not 28 you dikkhead, you asked me today how old I was an told you. Don't get me ticked here I may lose control.

    You shouldn't be stressed over studying. You should be prepared from months of studying since classes started.

    I don't understand it when people have to cram for an exam. All you have to do keep on top of school work, assignments, papers etc. during the semester and all should be good.

I was ok though, had 2 assists in the 5-5 tie but pal, I had I think like 5 shots on goal, should have at least buried one of them. There was a scramble in front of the net Pucky, I am a right handed shot, puck was on the left side of the goal, I backhanded it into a mother fukker on my own team with a wide open net in front of him. Pucky, maybe I will make a video for you next time I do a drop in. Probably going to drop in early next week, I will see what I can do for you, pal. Pucky, I am comparable to Brett Hull with a presence of Tomas Holmstrom. Not the fastest guy on the ice but I am the one you want in from of the goal at all times and have a very accurate shot.

    Yes, a few years back I was tested for it. My father has type 2 so I am aware that I need to be on top of it. I tested myself with his meter not too long ago and it was like 102 or something after a meal. I am pretty sure my sugar levels are ok.

    see a doc - you can take medicine temporarily. for some who have addictive personalities, or have abused drugs or alcohol in the past, it could be a slippery slope, but I know of plenty of cases where people temporarily took medicine like alprazolam (xanax) or paroxetine (paxil type) and it really helped them get through a rough patch.

    when you have more time to do things for yourself, go out, exercise, and less stress on your shoulders, you can realign your life; sometimes though you just need some relief. just remember, no matter what anyone says, anxiety is a disorder and can be an extremely debilitating one - both physically and mentally.

    my suggestion is to take some meds and if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out, but it can definitely be a temporary solution while you get back on your feet.

    PS Deuce - chances are, if you tell a doctor your symptoms, and how long they've been persisting, the doctor will have a variety of methods he can help you with. he'll likely wonder why in the hell you've waited so long to seek help. if you have insurance that covers mental health - go see a psychiatrist, if you don't have mental coverage, find a general practitioner that specializes in "anxiety disorders" or "mental disorders" - if you don't have insurance period, go to a doc in the box (urgent care) and tell the doctor your symptoms. best of luck brother.

    I had to quit smoking weed during the day, or at least before going out in public. After being stoned for 20 yrs all of a sudden I'd get panic attacks while stoned in public.

    Now I still have sober moments when I'm in a grocery store or whatever and don't want to make eye contact and just want to get the fuk outta there.

    Also hate going to dinner parties or other small gatherings if I don't know 90% of the people there. I just get weirded out, unless I got a couple of beers in me, then I'm good to go.
