Everything is Going Fine But my Sleep

Goodmorning eleveno,

It is good to stick with your doctors recommendations. Everyone reacts differently to drugs and dosages. Monitor how you are feeling and record any symptoms you may find strange or unusual so that you can continue to inform your doctor of your experience. Hopefully you will notice an improvement soon. Let us know how you are doing!

Second Session With New Therapist - My Experience

Hi eleveno,

Your therapy sessions appear to be enlightening and very helpful. By sharing

your experiences, you are also helping other members reflect on their own lives from a different perspective.

It is a collective learning experience and we are all here to support each other. Thank you for sharing!

Permanent pressure on throat

Hi Rednixa,

First of all, your English is great.

Thank you for writing us to look for support. I know other members could better speak to their physical symptoms related to episodes of anxiety and panic attacks, but it sounds like the feeling of pressure on your throat could be connected with symptoms of panic attacks.

One thing you could try to help figure out what that feeling may be related to is to use the 'Mood Tracker' tool from the Panic Center site's Toolbox. Write each time you have the sensation of pressure on your throat and record if you have any symptoms related to panic attacks whether mental or physical. Hopefully this will help reveal any patterns to when you feel this sensation.

It may also help to see a different doctor to get a second opinion to alleviate any anxiety you may have associated with this unpleasant feeling.

Hope you are feeling better today! Keep us posted.

Effects of Massage Therapy on Stress

Members,

Our focus in recent weeks has been on stress management. The positive effects of massage therapy have been widely studied in children, adults & older adults. The listed benefits from head to toe include:

°   Decreased incidence of headaches related to tension.
°   Improved mood, decreased anxiety. Children with autism showed a decrease in problem behaviors.
°   Improved circulation & decreased blood pressure. In surgical patients, faster healing & recovery rates were noted.
°   Better posture, decrease muscle tension, joint pain, range of motion. In pregnant women it helps alleviate discomfort.
°   Better sleeping patterns in babies, children & adults.

Have any members found this therapy beneficial?

Existential Anxiety

Thank you for sharing your stories and such kind words of support!

Ashepp, don't feel like you need to force your emotions to catch up with what you understand intellectually.

That will come in your own time. As ~m mentioned, how and when we react and are emotional is most often unpredictable. Acknowledge when you do feel anxious, sad, worried and sit with it if you need to. But be sure to challenge those thoughts, try to balance them with positive ones.

Take each day at a time and think about the small moments that make you smile and bring you joy.

You may realize you have those moments more often than not.

Sending you some sunshine for tomorrow:

Learning to slow down and smell the roses.

So true how much the little things around us make all the difference. The other night I was able to look up at the night sky (being able to get out of the city!) and sit in awe of the expanse of the sky and stars. There's something about looking up at stars that makes you reflect on your life in the moment.

Myth or Fact?

Myth: People with mental health needs, even those who have received effective treatment and have recovered, tend to be second-rate workers on the job.

Fact: Employers who have hired people with mental illnesses report good attendance and punctuality, as well as motivation, quality of work, and job tenure on par with or greater than other employees. Studies by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) show that there are no differences in productivity when people with mental illnesses are compared to other employees.

The First Days of Summer

It's hard to beat lounging on the beach, napping and a little kids' comedy!

Tonight is an unofficial start to the summer in Windsor/Detroit: The Freedom Festival celebrating Canada Day and Independence Day. Both Canada & the US contribute to an incredible firework display this evening.

A great reason to leave the dishes behind and picnic on the waterfront with family & friends
