Interesting NSV happened for me last night. I had a situation that I sailed through without any anxiety. Without going into the details of it, it is a situation I have to face at least monthly, sometimes more often. In the past, this particular event has caused so much anxiety that I had to medicate with Xanax ahead of time. Honestly, knowing the situation was coming, I was expecting to start getting the symptoms of the anxiety, but they never came. I even took a pill with me to the place where this was happening, just in case I needed to take it, but I never had to. I am thrilled that I made it through without having to medicate! I wonder, what has changed in my body to help me manage this stress?

    AWESOME!
    As being someone who has a prescription for Xanax, I know how proud you must be! It is amazing what your body can do once you get it going, isn't it?
    Way To Go!!!

    I am totally there with you! I feel a lot healthier since starting my weight loss journey and those frequent panic attacks I use to have, GONE! I haven't had a panic attack in two months and I'm LOVING it!

    congrats on getting thru it. i took xanax and klonopins a few years back, and finally got off of them a while later. felt great to get a grasp on my anxiety and not need them anymore.

    That is amazing! Are you exerising more often? Exercise has been helping with my depression a lot more than Xanax. i still have a prescription to take it as needed, but I honestly haven't had to use it for months.

    I know how hard it can be to lose weight when anxiety is compouding your life. Congratulations!

    This makes me happy. I keep a bottle just incase but have not had to use it. However after my dog passed away I did walk close to 30 miles in one week. Just gotta move and think things through which isn't always easy. Great job.

    Also being someone who suffers from anxiety and used to have Xanax- great NSV! Also, I have found that when I exercise, I do not have anxiety attacks. Exercising releases good endorphins which can help to block your brain receptors that would lead you to have the anxiety in the first place. I hope the trend continues for you!
