@SheilaKathy Thanks I sent you private message since I need to keep some things private. Your post made me cry and smile.

@Beelady I was prescribed Clonazepam (Klonopin) daily and anti-depressant/anxiety medicine. I'm still trying to get off Klonopin, and I took less than prescribed. Just me, but learned it's not good to reduce both at once. At least for me. It was far easier to gradually reduce...

Congrats!

When I was a young teenager. During summers I'd see bad thunderstorms approaching. Pitch black storm moving in. I'd go sit on steps. Wait for it, then just sit in the "hard" rain. My mom pleading with me to come inside. I think I was in a major depression then, and helped me to feel alive...

My mom use to hate visiting her brother's grave, and others. So painful for her since buried next to her father who molested/raped her. I would stop by after school on bike to see Uncle's grave, and others. But it was so painful for my mom to be near her dad's grave. When my brother died she...

I use to be like that (and miss it), and look forward to that day again (but this medicine messes me up, or maybe the depression, or combo effect.) I'd get up waiting for the sun to rise each morning to go for a long walk. Mornings are so quiet and peaceful. I love sunrises. Favorite time of...

I'm still alive.... Had several near death accidents from cars, airplane, and earthquake. They had to use "jaws of life" to get me out of car. Car had did a complete flip I am told. I could see ground from floor board, and I'm a safe driver. Times when dissociation is good. And very grateful...

@Heather If you haven't already please call Child Protective Services or police. Might also want to call school to let them know.

Everyone is different. But I had extremely bad reactions to Lexapro and Zoloft. I felt like a different person in not a good way. Took my anxiety to a whole new level. I will never take again. Couldn't calm down. Although first week I did like how Lexapro quieted my mine. I've tried other SSRI -...

Exactly

I know the different SSRIs I took and benzos caused loss of critical thinking skills I need for work. I use to be so creative in coming up with solutions... :( I think each person is different in how they react to medicine. Glad for the people it does help.

@Marie E. *hug* I use to meditate everyday until I got re-exposed to my past. Then became extremely difficult with anxiety. There is this app someone recommended to try to get me back in cycle called Calm for iphone or android http://www.calm.com/ that might help. Even if just for a minute or...

@nycowboy Not sure if they work, but have you tried Sonic Dog Repellents? Some look like birdhouses. http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Pet-Supplies-Sonic-Dog-Repellents/zgbs/pet-supplies/3024229011 Running into kinda same issue now since I moved, in apartment building, and I thought was a...

Praying for you. *hug* Christianity has become so distorted do not worry. Most world religions and beliefs --- all related at foundation. Sometimes doing a simple Buddhist chant over and over can help quiet the mind. Also, have relatives who will pray the Rosary for some inner peace.

Pray your test results come back negative. Please be careful with cold turkey since it sounds like you had seizures before... Impressive you handed over control of your money.

Got this nasty virus that left me basically stuck in apartment. It also weakens your immune system so I don't want to even try to be around people. Doctor can't even say how many months for a full recovery. It's kinda scary. One person online told me it took her friend a year to make a full...

That's a good one. *hug* While at same time I scared other people because I can move so quietly. Even grocery store I had to learn to make noises - otherwise strangers where startled I was behind them. I call it being invisible, and walking on egg shells. Best to be invisible to avoid danger -...

Hand sticking out of quicksand for help.

@Jass_T Yes serious trust issues. I wanted to appear normal. Still do. @Casey_03 Wish I was as strong as you. I just started opening up in past couple years, and see the damage it's done staying silent did to me... Yet still very private person. But I don't want to appear weak, or burden...

**hug** @Heather if you accept

Oh, I'm a guy and everyone is different. I like the chest expander resistance bands (shorter ones.) I don't like the full body stretch bands. But when I can't leave apartment I find helpful, or middle of night, plus easy to travel with. Plus plenty of different exercises you can do with those...

@AEW Is there something you can do after to get adrenaline level down? Exercise bike? Stretch bands? Dumbbells? Even long hot shower.
