http://www.anxietytribe.comAnxietyTribe.com http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4401 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4401 I went to go see my psychiatrist this past wednesday. He's a really nice guy. I was shocked when he asked me what I wanted to do with meds from now on. I told him what im learning and the progress that im making with therapy. He was really supportive and proud of all that I have done so far. It felt so good for once to be asked what I wanted to do by a doctor instead of given medication. I told him that I wanted to get back on lexapro to regulate my mood. Even though Im not as severely depressed and anxious as I was a couple of months ago I think i could benefit from the push that lexapro gives me. Time goes by so fast and I really didnt think that I would make much progress at all. I was wrong and im so happy to admit that. I hope life is treating all of you well     Sat, 15 Dec 2007 23:12:38 -0600 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4372 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4372 Im gonna work hard to get it. I'm not gonna let obstacles and peoples opinions get in the way of what I want to achieve or desire.

With the let downs and the way i programmed myself to think I let my happiness drain and dissapear. Life is supposed to be hard and challenging. Everything isnt meant to be easy. I let the way i was thinking change me. That only means that what you think influences your  emotions. So I can still learn to think differently and who I am will change. Learning will never change. I have to hang on and not let myself move me from what I want to achieve.         Sat, 8 Dec 2007 18:12:52 -0600 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4324 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4324 Im so beyond pissed and aggravated right now. Things really dont seem to be going my way. I really hope and pray that everything will clear up and that the new year is alot smoother and enjoyable.Has anyone ever applied for the publishers clearing house sweepstakes ?? I did a couple of weeks ago and im wishing so hard that i win the grand prize   I sorta feel like that boy from willy wonka and the chocolate factory hehe.   Fri, 7 Dec 2007 12:12:05 -0600 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4299 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4299 Today at work my anxiety was through the roof for most of the day. I got so dissapointed and depressed and that made me even more uncomfortable. I felt like i was gasping for air at times. I'm beginning to  change the way i think and it isnt easy. I guess I can compare it to riding a bike. Practice makes perfect.    Tue, 4 Dec 2007 00:12:46 -0600 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4201 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4201 My 1st day back at work went really good. I wasnt as anxious as i feared on my way there. I used what my therapist taught me and it made my day go by quick and calmly. Im not a doctor but i encourage everyone to go to therapy or some kind of counseling. It's helping me change my thought patterns for the better.

I will strengthen thee yea I will help thee yea I will uphold thee with my victorious right hand. Psalm 27: The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear ? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid ?Psalm 28, 11: The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 30, 2-4: O LORD my God, I cried out to you and you healed me. O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave. You have kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit. Psalm 31: In you, O LORD I put my trust. Let me never be ashamed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

One thing that im learning is how to challenge my thoughts and i came up with this to counter the worries i was and am having: I dont know my future because im not psychicI just barely started to get treatment after a very long time of being overly anxious so its fine to worry about it i wont die if the treatment im receiving isnt right for mei need to give it timei have other optionsthere are people that care about meIm feeling good after reading this and really knowing that this is coming out of me and someone isnt telling me it.    Sat, 17 Nov 2007 15:11:29 -0600 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4138 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=4138 This upcoming tuesday im going back to work. I cant wait. I left my job because my anxiety and negative self talk were too much to handle for me in the past. I feel that I have resources and skills to help me deal with them now. I'd like to thank eric my therapist and my family for having my back through everything. Life is full of surprises. I cant wait to see what my future holds.                                            Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:11:47 -0600 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=3631 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=3631 I really don't know if the meds im taking now (Lexapro and Clonazepam) are going to work for me in the long run or at all. All I can do is hope that they will and help me lead a normal life. I've been hearing some people say that they're on lots of different meds and that some don't work for them. Im not a lab rat and neither are they. I can't help but feel sorry for them and what they're going through.     Mon, 8 Oct 2007 19:10:00 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=3522 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=3522 Hey all. Im taking Lexapro and Clonazepam to treat my social anxiety and depression. I noticed that Cloanazepam and maybe lexapro have taken a lot of my depression away. And im not as "afraid" to go out in public and make eye contact anymore.I dont know how long I'm going to have to take my meds but I just know that I want the life I was leading back. I had to quit my job and right now I just started going out more. I would always stay home because the anxiety was paralyzing. Im staying optimistic and hopeful of my future.      Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:09:34 -0500
