Phobia's are getting bad again!
| Sun, 07-10-2005 - 11:11am |
Hi I have to say it has been a long time since I have been here.
I have found that my anxiety and phobia's are coming back and I know that they don't ever go away but i have had better times. I have got a med phobia and a food phobia and I should be taking Lexapro but for some reason I can't make my self do it. I do take 1/2 xanax if i have a panic attack but getting myself to take the med is bad right now. I have always said take baby steps and for some reason I can't make myself do it right now.
I for some reason have it in my head that there is something wrong with me that they are not seeing and its getting to me. I have had so many test that theres not may they haven't done and I don't think that theres many left that they can do to tell me its mainly from my anxiety. I do hav Fibro, and IBS, and have had the phobia's for yrs. Any way I hope you guys are all having a good weekend and tack care all. Diane

It is great to hear from you again, Diane! You have been sorely missed. Sure wish that we could meet again under better circumstances.
I'm not sure why these spells of anxiety come about. I swear many times I was blind sided by them & didn't feel I was under extra stress @ the time. On the other hand, I have had stressful periods in life & the A/P did get bad. I am wondering how things are faring for you. Any extra stress?
Hi Diane,
I'm new here and have had some phobia issues along with my anxiety. I'm wondering if you have ever sought out hypnotherapy? I had a phobia of vomiting and I didn't want to get pregnant because I was so afraid of having mornign sickness so I went to a hypnotherapist--it did wonders for my phobia and it also opened up my eyes to just how powerful our mind and our "internal dialogue" can be. If you have questions about it, I'm happy to tell you about my experience. Another idea is a hypnosis cd. I haven't purchased any of these myself, but these products look great:

Good luck and hang in there!
