Ok I am new to this site. I have had some trouble excepting that I have an anxiety disorder. I know something is wrong. My doctor told me over a year ago that I hyperventilate and I am not aware of it but she could tell by the deep breaths I am always taking. Now it has gotten worse I think I suffer from depression and anxiety. The physical symptoms scare me the most the chest pains which I have ran to the ER on numerous occassions just to be told I was having a panic attack.

Managing Anxiety and stress during the holiday's can be extremely hard due to the fact that you are surrounded by friends and family and it's sometimes hard to get some time to yourself, but very necessary if you feel anxiety mounting. Don't be afraid to excuse yourself for a few minutes and find a nice quiet place to regroup. Even if you just have to sneak away, by all means do it. Everyone will be busy with everyone else and they most likely not know you are gone. Do this a few times per day if you need to.

So I don’t know how to start this. At all. I’m basically just writing to reassure myself I’ve still got normal thoughts. I’ve been thinking so much lately, of why I don’t think on the same level as I used to. The little things used to be so obvious to me, little quirky remarks and variations or references of and to different words and topics. I used to hear a word and immediately have a list generate in my mind of a bunch of thoughts that in some way corresponded to the word. I would then decide on which made the most sense in the conversation. I know I’m insecure.

why is it that for some people, it takes a traumatic experience, or an uncomfortable experience, for them to truly stop & consider their life? i ask this because lately, i've been wondering about myself. i thought i knew everything about me, i thought i finally had figured out who i am & what i stand for...& yet, when i took a second look, i saw that im a neurotic, hypocritical, demanding, anxious, self-conscious, arrogant, bitch. and so now, i have absolutely no idea who i am.
