Hi my guys and gals, I think the "don't google" sticky threat is a really good idea. Hubby Admin and I are working on one for you and will let you know, what it's live. I have to say, I am really proud of this community, the ideas and (most of the time) mutual respect you have for each other...

Hi I'm right here!!!! :) I tend to check the forum incognito, which does not show when online or not. It also does not show the last time I have been online. @blueberries just sent you a PM

Hi Sunny, Welcome to the community, you’ll like it here, so many helpful friendly people. Anxiety is always hard and in these times it can be overwhelming. But that’s why we are here to support each other :)

I took 200mg magnesium citrate, 1 tablet in the morning and one in the evening.

Hi Zeynep, I’m not a doctor so can’t give you a diagnosis, but I had something like that as well. My doc told me that I had insufficient magnesium and advised me to take a strong magnesium supplement. You might want to try it?

That’s the best you can do really. I think if you are not symptomatic then there is most likely nothing wrong. Nevertheless, better safe then sorry. I think my last one was about 2.5 years ago. If there is anything then it usually grows slow, that’s why they recommend them to be done every 3 years.

Hi Kmeyeraa11, I get this as well, I think it's partly anxiety. The thing with anxiety is your mind is in constant fight, flight, freeze mode etc. Therefore too much is going on for your brain to keep new information and to get access to old information. The memories are not lost, anxiety just...

Hi Jamie, welcome to the forum :) I am sure you will find people here who will understand you and support you. Sometimes people are only able to understand, if they have suffered as well. Wish you all the best here and hope we can support you.

Hi Tiger, welcome to the community. It’s good to hear that you have taken the step to start therapy. It’s always so stressful to wait for it to happen. Do you have an idea, what could have triggered your current anxiety and panic? Did you have any kind of changes in the last year?

Hmmm suspicious suspicious o_O

Hello and welcome Binx :)

Hi Sergio, welcome to the forum. :) I hope we can be some support for you and help you in with your anxiety.

Welcome to the forum scaredmermaid. Sorry you've been going through a hard time lately.. I hope we can be good support for you here. :)

Hi Brad. That was a very interesting read. I think you are right, being aware of your trigger and working through your fear consciously is a good strategy. Only if we are aware of our fears, behaviours and triggers can we actively change our train of thought. It takes a lot of hard work and time...

Hi @Shehla have you heard of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? Anxiety and IBS are closely linked and during high stress levels it’s doing exactly what you are describing. If you google treatments for it, you will find a change in diet can help, some meds that resolve gas etc.

Hi @Guen im really glad how it’s going for you :) . I know from personal experience that it’s hard work, even harder to reach out and request support sometimes. CBT is really got to retrain your brain into new thinking patterns, hard work but if you are consciously working on it, it has the...

Hi @Drubb have you ever openly talked about your past? It seems that you need some kind of absolution or atonement. I don’t know what you did and I guess you are not ready to share, which is ok. I think however, that you should talk about it somehow maybe with s professional, because the guilt...

Welcome @Kiara.S to the forum. I hope we can support yo here :) I have a question; you mentioned in your post, that you started to get stomach aches after you started to take your meds again. It makes me wonder, if your meds should not be looked at by your doc? There might be something else for...

No worries, I was pretty scared as well to be honest. My skin got really hot, and sometimes my face got really red. I also got a really tight chest and pain breathing. Of course I was dying, NOT. I had it checked out by my doctor, it's all related to stress and anxiety and the adrenaline that's...

What you describe is very much one of the more worrying sides of anxiety. The worry of losing your mind. Brain fog and some memory difficulties can be day to day business during an anxiety and stress period. The thing is, you might be already anxious and stressed, but then you stress yourself...
