as a child, strange fears and obsessions about something bad happening. I recent
ly was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult but I still struggle with anxiety. I was
looking at some of the symptoms and restlessness, addictions, fidgeting, and dis
traction are all symptoms of anxiety disorders also. Is there anyway to tell whi
ch one you should treat or could it just be both disorders?MarleneFeb27

ety quite badly. I go to a counselor, but still have not been able to over come
it. I dont want to be on medication. Is it ok to drink in moderation to help c
ontrol these feelings? Until recently I never drank at all because it was again
st my religion. Sometimes now I drink a bit when I know there is going to be a
social event or to help calm me to sleep. Is that ok?ErikFeb24

the Prognosis for this disorder seeking profesonal help!IreneFeb21chipsnthedip a
sked: In certain situations I begin to shake. I shake so much sometimes it affe
cts my voice and cant stop shaking. It occurs when I get in front of people. Fo
r instance, I had to read a poem in front of the class and talk about it, I star
ted shaking. Im not really feeling much but nervousness when it happens. I also
shake when I get pulled over and during some job interviews. I plan on being a
cop so this isnt a good thing. I need help and want to end this once and for al
l. How would a therapist help me? How would medication help me? A criminal wo
uldnt take a shaking cop seriously. I havent always done this. It started when I
was around 18 or 19. I used to be a thug wannabe and used to cuss cops out and
hang out in crowds. I changed my ways when my friend got arrested for robbery.
Now I shake as soon as I get pulled over. Ive also started shaking when my bos
s got onto me over the phone!! This is something that needs to stop. Help?
I also have another problem. I have a hard time in college. I cant bring myself
do alot of work. I cant ever remember anything. I can read a page in a book an
d go back and read it again and it is like I have never read it. What does this
mean? ADD? Id like help with my anxiety question more than the other. I am pr
etty sure its social anxiety disorder. My Psychology teacher told me to see a t
herapist and it will help. How will this help? What do they do to help? How w
ould medication help?Caffeinated ContentFeb20

for anxiety for over three years. My anxiety started five years ago and was bro
ught on by PTSD. I would do anything to not be on medication anymore. I have t
ried several meds and cannot stand the side affects. I have seen two therapists
that havent been very helpful. I am in my early twenties and fear being medicat
ed for many more years if not forever. Does anyone know of any other effective
methods to cope with anxiety?HazelFeb13

hing asked: Hi, after a series of rather traumatising events, I, at the age of 1
3, developed Social Anxiety Disorder. Im 14, almost 15 now, and Ive really come ve
ry far in beating my social anxiety disorder. I now have one friend, and it is l
ooking hopeful that I make more friends soon. Im definitely feeling more confiden
t. Anyway, I still havent gotten over the social anxiety completely, but Im trying
to take it in little steps. I have a real problem with eating around people, I
just cant at all, only if I KNOW that no-one is looking at me and if its an easy t
o eat food, like a Bueno Bar, that I can break into little pieces and eat quickl
y and easily. But even so, I still feel anxious.
I guess Im just looking for some advice/tips? Its really difficult and Id like to b
e able to eat in public. I dont bring lunch to school, because Im scared of eating
in front of people. Thanks.Website contentNext Page
