Anxiety Disorders

Anyone here also suffer from any Anxiety Disorders?

I suffer from General Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety. Sometimes I can control it, I've worked with a therapist to learn how. I have tried many medications, but I either lose the effects, don't like them or abuse them. So I would rather deal with it , mind over manner. Also, I am an Alcoholic, currently doing A.A meetings and the 12 steps to stay sober. So at one time the way I would deal with it would be drinking, because drinking brought me self-confidence and that's the problem I have, being confident. I quit my last medication a couple months ago and have picked up the finger biting habit, which really I hope I can control soon, cause nothing sucks like raw nails.

Six and Seven and no I don't mind at all.

Yup. I've got panic disorder which originated from a fear of my heart not beating properly/me essentially dying by a heart attack or heart failure. I realize now how ridiculous it was to think that after a year or so of therapy and being a guinea pig for sleep and anxiety medication, which I am no longer on. Therapy helped a lot and I don't normally have panic attacks unless I'm under intense stress. I am, however, typically anxious on a low level about day-to-day things, and I constantly worry about the future.

I can get severe panic attacks when I am worried or stressed or am going through another bout of depression , I have hypnic jerks regularly, more so when I've taken Tramadol at night.
I get claustrophobic easily too.

I get more anxious of judgement or bad things happening in crowds. I don't even have many issues with how good looking I am, because I am a normal if not a cute looking male. But , somehow I can never boost my self confidence.

When I'm stressed due to personal issues, I always have stomachaches and/or low temperature like the one that happened to me last year. But on this one I've had only the former.

I have no self confidence.
I forgot to add paranoia to the list.

What med are you on? Cipralex is good, I recommend it for GAD.

Escitalopram I think that is Cipralex with a different name?
