anxiuous when being questioned

Hey Sonia,

Welcome to the forums! Well, I find being questioned difficult too as I am often afraid to answer something ridiculous. But it gets better. I do much better now with it.

I agree with Joe and Karen, you really should try the program here, itis quite good!

Again, welcome!

situational anxiety

Hiya Jen,

Well I don't know for the others but I have had situational anxiety for sure. I used to freak out about the bus for example. What helped me most was exposure techniques and thought challenging. Nowadays I take the bus on my own all the time! Hang in there, it can get better!

Taking that First Step

Hey Silvana,

You are most welcome. I remember having trouble with that lesson too. I found it really hard to get comfortable with all the physical sensations this exercise created. Taking my time and taking the exercises one at a time and doing them till I got comfortable is really how I got through that lesson. and in the long run that lesson has helped me a lot. Now my physical sensations do not frighten me as much as they used to because I managed to "tame" them to a certain extent. I really hope this lesson helps you as much as it helped me.

Diva news...

Thanks for the encouragement Ashley! And you have a great long weekend too!

Yesterday was a great day! I got up, got ready in my "artwork clothes" and went for brunch at my mom's. We had a great brunch with her, her husband and some of my nieces. Then, after lunch, we had an art project. We painted and made some valentine cards and had a lot of fun. Then I helped my mom with supper and my husband joined us for supper. After we went home and my husband watched movies with me all night! It was really nice! And I did not even need a nap all day!

Now, today I am tired but no matter. Thing that bugs me is that I realize that however far I have come with this anxiety and depression thing, there still is a lot of work to do... For example, at the moment, my husband has a friend from work over. As such, I am hiding in my bedroom? Why you might ask? BEcause since childhood I have had an irrational reaction to strangers in my house! Why? Not sure... So now, because of my own craziness, I have effectively cloistered myself in my room till said stranger departs from my home. My husband must think I am a loon. Well, then again this is nothing new to him. At moments like this I feel bad for him. Well, I feel bad for me too hahaha! I know this is crazy and irrational, I just can't help it! Well, that is not true. I guess I could get dressed and go out there and face the stranger in my house. But I frankly prefer not to. I am not sure why. I deal well enough with people outside my house, I just can't stand having them inside My house! Drives me crazy! I have trouble letting repair men in! And I need them! I think it just makes me feel invaded and unsafe. Oh I don't know...

Well since I am stuck in my room, I will finish up here and go for a nap! Later guys!

Anybody Taking Klonopin and or Paxil

No problem! Yeah, it took me a while to adjust to my new medication. And every change of dose is an adjustment for the body too! And don't forget, if your doctor does not give you much info, your pharmacist can give you some great info. I know my pharmacist is super knowledgeable! Hang in there!

Lousy Day

Hello CM,

I am sorry to hear you are having such a tough time! Situations like that can be tough. but you can do it! I have seen you do so many wonderful things, you can get through this too!

I think it is great you are working on lessons to get through this. Keep being proactive.

So you think one of your classes was the source of your uneasiness? What feelings come to mind when you think of it? What are the thoughts attached to those feelings? Can you challenge any of them? I find thought challenging to be a great way to get over things and in a way take back the power we give to our fears. But hey, that is just me.

I wish I had words of wisdom for you to help you. Hang in there CM, you can do this! We are here for you and feel free to vent with us anytime.

situational anxiety

Hello Jdm,

Well my first suggestion is work the program here. It is great. It has helped me so much! When I had a relapse I had panic all the time and I worried like you do about the next attack and what ifs non-stop. The program here changed my life. I honestly cannot even remember when my last serious attack was, I have no clue! I think for me, one of the great lessons this program taught me is to take back the power I had given the panic attacks. I learned not to be so afraid. I learned that even if I do have an attack it is no big deal. I do not anticipate anymore. I seriously, honestly have no idea when my last attack was because I don'T think it matters. My life is so much better now. The exposure work and the thought challenging tools are so great. Take advantage of them! hang in there, it does get better!
