Hello there~
I'm new here , I actually used to be a cl on the relationship board several years ago. Anyway...My name is Jani, but I'd like to be called Honesty. Hope everybody is having a great day..it's so beautiful outside!
That brings me to my ordeal....
The unexpected visitor...'ANXIETY'....it happens at the oddest of times...my heart feels like a small race car's engine, trying to make it to the finish line, which by the way is on the other side of my body...
I take xanax mostly at bedtime, although, I also take it when that feeling decides to just make it's presence known...siiiiggggghhhhhhhhh
Does anybody want to share with me
1. How to calm down
2. How you ride through the anxious feeling
without taking more medication
I'd appreciate any feedback....I look forward to meeting you!

Hey Jan~
Thanks for getting back with me...I know how busy you may be!
Yeah, lately I've had a few major attacks...though, I am beginning to work past those and I'm growing my life towards being a healthy and beautiful place that I can call my very own...
Routine is an excellent health regime...I applaud your determination...Oh my goodness gracious, 'me' time is ABSOLUTELY a necessity!! I spend this time on my laptop, writing, drawing or watching tv....soon I'll be getting a kitten, so that'll definitely help to calm me *I LOVE CATS*...I've been thinking of a nice aquarium too....
Supplements can be a good idea...I'll look into it, the only supplement I've even tried is melatonin, for sleep...other than that I take Neurontin, Paxil, Xanax, Calcium, Ibuprofen, Baclofen and a Multi-Vitamin w/ Iron...
Caffeine free is my way also...Decaffeinated tea and coffee...I think I may need caffeine though, at least in the afternoon...I don't know, trial and error seems to be my middle name, lol...We shall see....
It's awesome though to be able to connect with others...ya never know who, when, where or how you'll meet...the message boards are a great place
