    I wouldn't have taken Paxil for anxiety and gained 30lbs.

    hmm yep but would you feel better or worse for not taking the meds???

    Well.. after I put the weight gain connection together I got off Paxil and didn't replace it b/c I'm afraid all SSRIs will cause weight gain. So... I still have the anxiety and the weight.

    There was a time when I was eating really clean and vegan, I felt great. I had a lot of energy. I lost weight. My skin looked good. I thought I could go back to eating processed foods but still feel that way. Wrong. Fresh and clean is really where I'm trying to get back to. I don't really like to cook so that's part of why I stopped being so diligent, so I'd change that time too and continue with the clean eating path.

    Oh why is that? Did you buy income property or are you referring to your personal home?

    I wouldn't have had the gum grafting procedure done last week. I did it mostly for aesthetic reasons but the procedure was ghastly and the recovery is more than I bargained for.

    What exactly is that?

    Aww hun, you are sounding that you are making a big change and it is not good that you still have the anxiety, I have been there too...I suffered panic attacks for a long time...if you want to add me I may be able to help a little?

    There are lots of "one things" I would love to change - only problem being, that would change some positives, too.

    If I don't think about that, I would change what I studied in college... would have became a nurse instead.

    Pretty sure the entire course of my life would be different...

    Aww thanks! I have generalized anxiety disorder. I've had it since I was a kid. I dont really get panic attacks. I had one big one once. Now if I feel like I'm getting too anxious, I tell myself to calm down and breath deeply. I have daily anxiety though, physical symptoms like tight jaws mostly. Some days I take Xanax just to get my muscles to relax, the headache to stop, and the feeling like energy is rolling thru my body. I started working out again, I'm hoping that helps too. Trying to take care of it through nutrition and exercise.

    I would go back to my childhood and constantly tug on my wiener so that when I got older it would be much bigger.




    Ohhh, and uhhh World Peace.

    There are so many things to change, but if I did, I wouldn't be where I am now. There are some recent things to change, like what happens after 1 too many drinks, but don't we all? Live and learn!
