    Anxiety mixed with anger

    This type of anxiety and hyper vigilance can definitely stem from ptsd. If some one has a bad experience, it is common to perceive threats inaccurately. These words come personal experience. My perception is definitely skewed because of a few bad experiences.

    Anxiety mixed with anger

    Just know, you aren't alone. I feel the same way in public when people look at me and I have also blown up at people, and even what seemed like anger, was actually being overwhelmed and anxiety. Some people won't understand that anxiety does, many times, lead to anger, because of all the...

    i always thought my low self esteem and obsession with my appearance was do to my schoolmates bullying me, but at 27 yrs old, I've finally realized in group, that my mother also played a negative role in how critical she was with my appearance. When I felt ugly, she never told me that I was...

    Feeling badly judged by group member

    You're absolutely right. I have to accept that I will be judged, but lots of times people's judgement will be highly inaccurate. I can't take everything personally as if it is always truth.

    Feeling badly judged by group member

    Thanks you guys. Logically, I know it was her dealing with her own demons and wasn't the demon. It just set off a bad reaction in me. The group counselor even explicitly told her, "well, she's not your brother, ok?" I understand any type of anger makes her think of her brother, it was just...

    New child, new house, uncontrollable anxiety

    You're right about the xanax, I forgot about the rebound anxiety. My doctor has me on klonopin now, which I don't think is any better. Im also on Latuda, but I really wish he put me on Prozac. I don't want to be sedated, I want to get better!

    Death Obsessive Fear Of Family Members' Death

    I think you may be right. My doctors have kind of hinted at OCD, but never really officially diagnosed it. I am on 50 mg of fluvoxamine right now for this issue, but have just started taking it. I am hoping for less of these thoughts and that the medicine is effective.

    Death Obsessive Fear Of Family Members' Death

    I worry about them being in car crashes too because they happen all the time. I think I would worry so much about my mom dying, because she is the glue that keeps our family standing.

    The Guilt After Recovery

    You are right. I guess I kind of get stuck in the past a lot. I know they are not hurting anymore but I guess I mourn for their past selves? Ugh, I'm sorry I know that doesn't make much sense. We have all gotten over that part, I just need to leave all that in the past. Thanks for your reply :)

    When I was around 16, I noticed that a lot of my classmates were becoming more concerned about weight loss. I had never been very self conscious about my weight, so I asked my mom if I was someone who needed to lose weight. She answered no, because I was at a normal and healthy weight. She asked...
