Well lets see I have been to four different ones and guess what they all told me that i needed to get out more ,they had no salutions just tell me that.Now I was i suppose to do that.Half of the time they dont even listen.

XmasCarol52 · May 21, 2017

Well for me it was a waste of time .So no.How are you doing today?I Just came in from outside i was out there about 2 and a half hours I hated to come in but my left leg hurt like it was cramping up or swollen. It is so beautiful out there I talked to the guys who were putting in my neighbors screen door i hope i get mine soon.

XmasCarol52 · May 21, 2017

Ya but then the two guys started talking like they didnt want me to hear what they were saying then they laughed>I am sorry but that is just plan rude when anybody does that hey my own kids to that when they come and visit with me my son and his wife will start to talk as to where I cannot hear a word they are saying and of course that makes u feel like they are talking about you,which I am sure they are,well excuse me if my house isnt like better homes and gardens ,lol i keep it clean i cannot stand clutter or a mess but sometimes it just can sit there for all i care..

XmasCarol52 · May 22, 2017

I get so mad whenever someone does that.If they do not you to hear what they are saying then either don't say it or take it outside.Can u imagine if everyone in this world did look and dress alike we wouldn't know who was who.I can tell that you are a very sweet and caring person yourself and don't let anybody tell you different,That woman at work is just a very mean person.You are better then her because you would never stoop to her level.She seems to be the one with the problem perhaps she needs a shrink.My daughter in law is kind of funny sometimes you cant even get a word out of her and other time she will talk not much and give you a hug but i know she complains how i keep my apt,just a couple of years ago I could hear my son say to her you are you going to start this every time we come here?My place is clean matter of fact I have been told by my land lady that my place is clean and others have told me too even the handy man says my apt is the most cleanest one see has seen,but still talking like that even when u cannot hear them makes one very uncomfortable and it just isn't right. love to you and more hugs Hugs Oh ya sometimes people just don' t think before they talk, them just embarrass themselves when they act like fools ,dont u agree??

Speaking for myself the therapist didnt do a darn thing all i ever heard was you got to get out more.

Not to get off topic but, I just have to get something g off my chest. This mental illness we suffer sucks. I will never understand why a person is subject to such suffering. Can anybody tell me why? Why are we going through all of this and how come treatment is so difficult? My aunt stays in her house. She's the type that won't even step out of the door. She has panic attacks every time her foot touches the ground. I fear that I am on my way to that. I already have my"safe zone" . I can only travel about a ten mile radius. That's about 7 minuts away from my home that I start to freak out. I used to be able to go anywhere and do anything g but, my world keeps getting smaller and smaller. My worst fear is becoming my aunt.... and I fear that it's already happening. How can you seek treatment when nothing seems to help. Even benzos are becoming less effective. I don't know what I would do if I found out that I am treatment resistant. I might take my own life. I can't live this way. Of course I never will though..but, the thought is always there.

I love your Pic Sister! You are very pretty! What a shame and a waste if you did do the naughty deed! So, No! No! No! Don't you ever go thinking like that. You get in touch with us on here or the Samaritans if you feel like that.

Try to live in the present. Accept who you are and how you are. You are lovely. You are kind and supportive. You are understanding to others and you have been a fantastic help to me especially. Make the most of what you can do! Instead of focusing on what makes you anxious. If you can't get further than 10 miles, then so be it. You have a lot of your life ahead of you yet and things may still change.

It is a shame that you can't get out with Bambam. how is he by the way? And how did your therapy go? How were you feeling afterwards? I was thinking of you. I went to mine and now I don't have to see her until the end of August as she is off for the summer.

janemariesayed · Jun 29, 2017

My therapist said that they will give me two years, or up to two years depending on if I need that. That is really good on the NHS. She said she will be off in the summer so she didn't want to start and then stop and then begin again in the Autumn so she said it would be better to start in the Autumn. She is just thinking of how it upsets me and leaving me alone with it. It'll be once a week as well and we've already made all the appointments so I'm really pleased. Even if I do have to wait until then. I've started keeping a notebook of my anxiety attacks, when and what I was thinking at the time. I'm thinking it might help her to see where my mind is.

You should remind your husband of his marriage vows. For better or for worse. You may be like this the rest of your life, or you might not be. He should take you and love you as you are. Give you support when you need it and vice-versa. Have you thought about having therapy together? Did we talk about that before?

I don't know what a Beta blocker is. I'm new to all this chemical stuff. As you know I'm just beginning on the Fluoxetine. I'll have a look on the net and see what they are. You need to know what the side effects could be more than anything.

Hey sister you got that right this illness sucks big time.I don't know why we have to suffer so much either I wish I had a magic wound then I could make this crappy illness disappear for good.Sometimes I say to myself what is the point of living cause it can be so bad at times I cannot cope.Then again I am to chicken to kill myself .Actually I am to chicken to do anything.I hate having to go out at all 20 minutes seems like an hour to me when u are in the car riding to my doctors. Do you ever get like sick to your stomach?I do and sometimes I feel like I am going to up chuck but I don't.

XmasCarol52 · Jun 29, 2017

Funny thing is the meds I take for anxieties one of the side effects is anxieties,a med that is suppose to help with anxieties can actually cause anxieties.Has anyone ever told u how pretty you are?

A therapist on summer vacation? Now i've heard everything. Lol. Bambam don't like to go outside because he has a hard time going up and down the steps. My husband and I had a huge fight last night and I told him that if he couldn't handle me and my mental illness then he can just leave. Guess what?.. he didn't. So I don't want to hear hear anything else about it from him or I will have to leave. I'm starting to see him as my"x" factor. The reason for it all. The reason for the constant stress and anxiety he's never satisfied with anything in life. If he wants to continue to be with me.. then he needs to except that I may never be able to go out farther than 10 miles for the rest of my life. My worst fear when i'm out a far distance is that I will have a heart attack you can't really tell a big difference between heart attack and panic attacks in women at least. If I could have the peace of mind that I would not die of a heart attack while out and far away from home... I probably would try more often. My doctor wants me to take a beta blocker for my anxiety. . Do you think this is a good idea?

I'm confused again @Concernedgal why do you need Beta blockers? Look at this below that I have copied. I've given you the link to the full article.

http://www.side-effects-site.com/beta-blocker-side-effects.html

Remember I said I would look up the side effects and the first thing I came across was this. I don't think you need them Sis! I would say to stay away from them.

Are Beta Blocker Side Effects
Worth the Risk?

Do you know what you are getting yourself into with Beta Blocker Side Effects? Beta Blockers are drugs prescribed for abnormal heart rhythms and high blood pressure; however side effects of beta blockers may very well be the CAUSE of abnormal heart rhythms- some of them deadly. Beta blocker medication is a class of prescription drugs that include:

Sotalol

And here are more side effects. Too many to mention. I really recommend that you go on the link and have a look at the website, it has loads more information on Beta blockers. (From the link in the above post).

Beta Blocker Side Effects
"…side effects associated with beta-blockers include
congestive heart failure (CHF), reduced cardiac output, fatigue, heart block, dizziness, depression, bradycardia (decreased heart beat and function), cold extremities,parethesia (a feeling of “pins and needles”), dyspnea (shortness of breath), drowsiness, lethargy, insomnia, headaches, poor memory, nausea, diarrhea, constipation,colitis, wheezing, bronchospasm, Raynaud’s Syndrome
(burning, tingling, pain, numbness, or poor circulation in the hands and feet), claudication, hyperkalemia (muscle cramps), muscle fatigue, lowered libido, impotence,postural hypotension, raised triglycerides, lowered HDL, raised LDL, and hyperglycemia."

Wow! Out of all these I get, dizziness, depression, parethesia, dyspnea, drowsiness, lethargy, insomnia, headaches, poor memory, burning, tingling, lowered libido, and I don't know what the rest are anyway. Ha ha, it seems like I'm already a walking Beta blocker! Lol

Most days if I have to go out that day, or if I know that someone is coming to the house I feel sick. For some reason, I start to feel anxious and get panicky. God only knows why and I wish I could stop it.

XmasCarol52 · Jun 30, 2017

I feel the same way I absolutely hate it when someone has to come inside my apt it makes me so nervous and anxious.Like I know my land lady will come in tomorrow and i am already anxious,well I cannot stand her anyway.I think it just the thought of being around someone makes us sick.i feel like they are watching me.
