Robin S asked:
Is Prozac the best for anxiety disorder and social phobia, or are there more safe and effective alternatives. Find I get anxious out in crowds and stuff and need to stop my anxiety. Doc says I have a ‘learnt stress reaction’ in social situations, which trigures anxiety, and it’s like a train when it starts I find it difficult to stop it and I can feel aweful. Any suggestions.

John M asked:
Borderline seems like a different syndrome than Social Anxiety disorder. Some people may have both but not all… Can anyone else elaborate on the differences?

Vapor Trails asked: I’ve been having them a lot lately. My heart races, and I have difficulty breathing. It’s especially scary when i’m driving. Sometimes I have to pull over they’re so severe, as I feel like I may pass out.
Any suggestions on what I can do when this happens? Thanks
Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the help so far

plain jane asked:
Can anyone think of a good game/some way to involve the class that I can include in my 20 minute presentation? I already have a question at the beginning that people can raise their hands for. It’s by myself, and I don’t want to just give everyone a quiz on if they have social anxiety disorder or not because a lot of people already did stuff like that in their own presentations. Any ideas? thanks!

Kacey D asked:
I’m 16 weeks pregnant and over the last 24 hrs have had 1 serious and 3 minor anxiety attacks. I haven’t gone to the hospital yet because it’s next to impossible to take your kids to the hosptial with you and i have NO one to watch them. plus my husband HAS to go to work cause he’s the supervisor so he has to open the shop. i’m feeling fine now but all it takes is one of my kids to start fighthing me or throwing a fit. I know i should go to the hospital and will go to the dr first thing tomarrow or if this persists throught tonight. i jsut need to know if me not being able to breath durring these very scarry attacks is going to hurt my baby? And if i do go to the hospital is there anything they can do for ME besides make sure the baby is ok. i know they aren’t caused by physical problems just psycological problems but i can be fine and just not be able to breath all of the sudden. I had them when i was a kid but only if i was really upset it’s been years since my last. Sorry so long
