I have been using aromatherapy for the last couple of years and it seems to really work. I have bought the diffuser and the bath oils. I like the bath oils the best. Lavender is my favorite for anxiety and stress relief, but I also like Peppermint and eucalyptus.

:smug:I believe laughter is the best medicine, you know what they say "a laugh a day keeps the blues away." I have one friend that's always jolly and anything they say seems to be humorous, it's their personality that draws you in and brightens your day. I think if you surround yourself with...

I'm definitely not a natural in pictures, especially if I have no idea who the people are that are going to be in them with me. I have never been relaxed around people I don't know anyway and it makes it worse at events such as a weddings when everyone has a camera in their hand. Natural...

I can only speak of my personal experience with this. Yes, yes, yes it does help. Being in nature, makes me feel so relaxed. I take walks all of the time and I also do a lot of camping in the Spring and Summer when I can. Just listening to the birds, crickets, a babbling brook, etc. puts peace...

:oops:I know Clammy Hands can be caused by overactive sweat glands, and it also occurs in feet (clammy feet). But when I was experiencing Clammy Hands I asked my Doctor about it at my next appointment, and he told me my hands were getting clammy due to my Anxiety, that it was one of the physical...

My phobia has always been the fear of Spiders. Was that book a true story? I think I may have saw that on TV that it truly happened to that man. This just makes me wonder what else could have possibly, have gotten inside us without our knowledge.

If your looking for natural remedies, Green Tea is supposed to have a compound called Epigallocatechin Gallate that inhibits the growth of fibroid cells, eventually increasing their death rate. Drinking two or three cups a day of Green Tea, can reduce the size and severity of fibroids.:)

I have never experienced this issue but I took care of an elderly lady before that had vivid hallucinations. She would see a head with no body jumping up and down on her bed. She was diagnosed with Schizophrenia, her melds seem to help a little but she still experienced the hallucinations quite...

I believe it could be caused by a hormone imbalance, it really could be a possibility and something we should ask our Doctors. Symptoms of hormone imbalance include, insomnia, mood swings, irritability, fatigue and yes, you guessed it "depression". It would be easy to mistake these symptoms with...

In the past I have been diagnosed with a mild form of Over Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and have been able to manage it pretty well with therapy. A lot of children get this also, and I always wondered what some parenting tips would be on this issue. I found out that children should be educated on...

This is a wonderful idea you have here, making a relaxing environment. As I was reading your post I was picturing myself having a cup of tea at your station. Thank you for sharing this idea, I think after reading this I'm going to try something similar. A mini refrigerator would be a great...

It's definitely worth saying no at times. It gives you a sense of self control I think. In the past I was somewhat of a people pleaser, and would hardly say no to anyone. As I've gotten older it seems I'm more outspoken and the word no rolls off of my tongue pretty easy, which feels good.

I'm glad your therapy and medication are working for you. I do believe we recover a little bit each day, making us feel better, step by step. Keep sharing your story, because through our stories and testimonials, we help the next person feeling like us, by letting them know that there is hope...

I believe we all know our own body's well enough to know when somethings real or not, at least I'm hoping we do. I also think it's worse to go on google or yahoo and search symptoms, every time I have done that, I seem to have had every side effect or symptom I googled and felt worse after...

:meh:Every now and then I experience sharp shooting pains in my face. Being concerned I asked my Doctor about this. He told me it was a symptom of my Anxiety, I was a little bit relieved when he told me this because I was thinking something else may have been wrong with me at the time. He said...

Yes I have this problem @Rosyrain to some extent. My fear and anxiety of being closed in usually only occurs in elevators. The more people that's on that elevator the longer I wait to get on the next one, or if I don't have to go up too many floors I just take the stairs. So yes you are not...

I like a nice hot cup of Chamomile Tea, it warms me up nice in the winter, and it also has a calming effect to help me relax. @Azelma I have also tried Ginger Tea and it's really good also, I add a little sugar or honey to mine.

I also have the fear of making Doctors appointments, but mainly Dental Appointments. My biggest fear is when they numb my mouth with that big needle, I start shaking and I would rather just be knocked out until they are finished. I know prolonging the situation makes nothing better, especially...

You are right, I love music the next time it storms I'm going to turn the stereo up, I think providing a distraction is a great idea. I really never thought of that due to the fact I was concentrating on the lightning and thunder. Thank you:)

:(Every since I was a small child I was always afraid of Thunderstorms. I like when it rains it is good sleeping weather, but Thunder and especially lightning makes me very uneasy.:nailbiting: I honestly feel like I sit in a frozen state until it passes, thinking if I get up or move I'm going to...
