Hey guys, I have a ton of anxiety and always have...I've worked through it and I'm doing better than ever, but some days it just seems to consume me. Is this group still active? What kinds of things trigger your anxiety? Thanks...

    Hi there and welcome. It seems all my groups boards have slowed down in general.

    -Panic Disorder
    -Depersonalization disorder
    -Generalized Anxiety disorder
    -brief stint with depression thanks to the depersonalization disorder

    Im doing much, much better thanks to medication and lots of exercise. Haven't had a panic attack in months and my anxiety levels are waaaay down. My depersonalization is still there but it doesnt bother me much as it used to.

    Things that trigger me are large crowds or looking at the sky. Both tend to make me zone out and go into unreality.

    Hi im new here too. Just came off meds. Last stint was four months and i maintained weight-a huge nsv as the drugs make you put on weight. Hoping all will be well for the rest of the year!

    Hi :)
    I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm also agoraphobic, socially phobic (sometimes spreads online, too), & mildly OCD. Currently, I'm taking Buspar but I hate it and am struggling with getting switched to something else.
    I have frequent panic attacks! As for my triggers though.. really that's hard to pin down, because it's everything. I'm almost ALWAYS extremely anxious and stressed out... so I guess life? Hah.
