= Misc Anxiety Crew =

[HumptyBrahh]

This is the official thread of the Misc Anxiety Crew. I'm founding this Crew because I've discovered there are a lot of Miscers like myself suffering from various forms of anxiety and depression. This thread is serious, do your trolling elsewhere. Hopefully there will be a lot of Miscers sharing deep and personal things, so be mature and keep your harsh words and judgments to yourself. If you're not suffering from anxiety or depression, you won't understand it, and a lot of the things you read here won't be logical to you. Please, just understand that anxiety and depression are serious disorders.

If you're suffering from

-Generalized Anxiety Disorder
-Hypochondriasis
-Panic Disorder
-Phobia
-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
-Social Anxiety Disorder
-Separation Anxiety Disorder
-Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
-Depression
-Bipolar Disorder

then this is the crew for you. Even if you're not fully suffering or diagnosed, but you feel anxious/depressed at times, you're welcome here. Everyone is welcome.

I've started a BodyGroup for the Crew, found here: http://groups.bodybuilding.com/anxiety_crew

All applicants are accepted automatically, so join there.

Make sure to put = Anxiety Crew = in your sig to let others who might be suffering know there's a place for them here.

Below are some links that might be helpful to some:

Also, do not take any medical information or advice in this thread or on the BodyGroup page as gospel. Everyone is different, and what might be a psycho****tic symptom in one person could be a real emergency in another. If you have a symptom that concerns you, contact your doctor or call 911 immediately.

Welcome brahs.

Hell yeah in woot woot

Good job HumptyBrahh

[theninthplanet]

in. Been on Zoloft for 17 days. 50mg a day. Don't feel any different yet but the doc say it takes at least 4 weeks to work.

I have social anxiety and social phobia.

[mickeylax311]

In. Zoloft was interesting I thought. Kind of a zombifying experience

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Hypochondriasis (which could fall under the GAD umbrella), and depression. I'm supposed to be on Zoloft (well sertraline, the generic) but I don't like how it makes me feel.

You should feel it kick in in another week or so.

Good idea OP, although I am over the worst of my anxiety I do still suffer from it occasionally. Should be an interesting thread.

[HmmMaybeLater]

I just ordered a book by Claire Weekes called "Hope and help for your nerves"...Supposed to be highly recommended for brahs who suffer from hypochondria and Panic disorders

Every time you feel an episode come on you should start typing up the book or scanning it in. Then send to us lol. But in seriousness I think I'll check it out when I hit the library tomorrow, well I guess today in a few hours

Haha, but I think if you work in a library you probably don't care much about sports. I'll head in after my game though

From reading some of your earlier posts I think I suffered from similar symptoms to you. I would always think that I was about to have a heart attack and I had this irrational fear that I would pass out before I was able to get help.

[HmmMaybeLater]

alright im off to bed, so I can wake up at 1pm to watch some football...peace guys. Hope to see yall posting more in here, help each other out

[mickeylax311]

Going to attempt sleep again as well. Good luck brosters

My fear is heart attacks also but it's not the fear of dying, it's the fear of actually going through the experience of a heart attack

Damn football in 6 hours. Da fuk

Yeah brah, ive come to find I have a few things going on...mainly an arrythmia called SupraVentricular Tachycardia which is not life threatening, but can in fact be caused by extreme stress or anxiety, and also stimulants for that matter. So basically my anxiety over my health is making my health bad lolz

Ill get into that more in my journal how it all came about

I've recommended these before but if anyone hasn't heard of them they are worth a look

"The Happiness Trap" by Russ Harris - My psychologist recommended this one, more for all sorts of problems but has helped many people overcome stress/anxiety. It's based on ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy).

"In stillness conquer fear" - My grandfather gave me this book a week ago to read, he used to suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. I really like this book, i'm following the method from it and can't wait to see how i go. It's all about stillness meditation. Very well worth the read!

Oh yeah, count me in on this crew.

as far as medication goes, i got given ***** when i first raised the issue with my doctor. Only took it for a month tops though, trying to beat this without meds.

[dave.mc]

Right I got stuff I need to do so I better go, later brahs!

[chevy03racing]

Yeah in for this! i also have anxiety feels bad man but sometimes i can deal with it tho i dont wanna get prescribed cuz im gonna start depending on them so ill just deal with it naturally
also thanks for the info brah that should help me out man.

I'll check those out. Anything that can help.

Yeah I was prescribed both Zoloft and ******. I don't use the Zoloft and I only keep the ****** around for emergencies. I'm trying to do this med-free as well.

And welcome to the crew brah.

[HumptyBrahh]

Bedtime for me brahs. I sub'd the thread so if there's no activity when I wake up I'll bump it.

[Jim K]

I tried to do it med free.. It was really hard for me. Doesn't mean you can't do it though.

I figured even if for the rest of my life I'm going to be on anti-depressants, at least I will be happy.

Good luck to you!

Thanks man. Yeah I have these ******s for emergencies - middle of the night panic attacks, etc. I'm taking them at a rate of about 1 every 3 days now. If that's what I have to do for the rest of my life, it's a small price to pay.

any of you guys that take antidepressants have libido problems? lol, this is a sucky side effect...
