I haven't posted here for so long now but was reminded of this place by someone and thought I'd come by and have a look. I guess I don't post as often now because my social anxiety is at a 'managable' level. I guess if you searched this forum you might find some of my posts and thread from the...

Yes the tremor does tend to get worse if I am nervous or upset. It doesn't even need to be something that I conciously react to. Sometimes just the process of getting ready or the prospect of going somewhere can set it off. I might add since it has been a while since I last posted my tremors...

Hey Ruth. Was is Essential Tremor by any chance? Essential tremor is a type of tremor that usually does run in families and is sometimes called familial tremor. I was diagnosed with this myself last year. My tremors involve my head mainly which shakes in a 'no-no' type way and my hands tend...

Social Anxiety is the pits. I have had it at its worst where it drove me to agrophobic tendencies and panic attacks. I never even realised that I had a real problem until I came here and found this forum and found others who had the same symptoms as me and the light bulb went off in my head...

Hang in there... :hug:

I have never taken anything specifically for my anxiety although now I'm on tablets that they sometimes give to people for anxiety but for another condition. Personally I never took medication to manage my anxiety but one thing that worked fairly well was walking. I was walking everyday up...

argghhh...I just typed a big response and clicked the wrong button. Don't you hate that. If you want to know more just PM me RAIN. I'm only to happy to tell my story if there's a chance I might of help to anyone. :)

Anxiety is both physical and mental. Mental thinking feeds the physical symptoms that cause the anxiety. In saying this I am seriously beginning to consider my situation... I have had and have been battling social anxiety for most of my life I guess but have also in recent time been...

Todays the day. In a couple of hours we're loading up in the car and going to QLD. Can't wait to be there and am looking forward to the break from the same day to day monotony. Hoping that everyone else has a blessed and safe Christmas.

*sigh* This is exactly the part of church that I really don't like. Talking to anyone new is so painstaking that I usually stick with the 'safe' people. I have really lapsed in working on this one.

Tis the season to be jolly.....YAY... Travelling to my sisters place for Christmas this year (she lives in QLD which is a days car travel) which is really exciting as I haven't had Christmas there for quite a few years now. What are everyones elses plans and how are you all coping?

hmmm...well nervousness is something that everyone experiences at some time in their life and I guess how nervous depends on each person. Anxiousness especially in terms of anxiety type disorders I think is more than just nervousness. Nervousness to me (and I'm thinking in terms of my own SAD...

I survived the family day at the water park. I enjoyed it but on another hand I didn't either. Mainly for the fact that it wasn't entirely hot enough for swimming (for my liking anyway, had a really cold breeze for most of the day) and I was mainly responsible for my 4 yo who was too young...

My family and I have a work/Christmas fun day at a Water amusement park tomorrow. In spite of how I actually feel about going somewhere new, full of unknown events, traffic distance etc etc. I am GOING. Everything within me wants to find an excuse not to go but I am going to push through and...

Hi there ppl... I have been feeling better, certainly better than that last post I put up. Still can't say that I'm 100% (lol as 100% as a recovering SAD person can be considering I wasn't all the way there in the first place :D ) I haven't given in to all those anxious feelings but can see...

1. Went to the MIL and got some stamping done for my card making 2. went for a walk this morning and felt great afterwards 3. felt better than I did yesterday :)

Hey Rain I read your last post and thought gee I could have almost written that word for word a couple of years ago. :hug: I'm doing ok at the moment, admitedly have had a tough couple of weeks. I can soo understand what you're going through. I posted it in this thread a bit earlier but...

:wave: hi there! I thought I'd pop in and say hi too. I think I really need to, maybe to get some encouragement from ppl who understand :( I think I've been have some lapses with my SAD lately and it's tough. I'm not sure if it's the medication that I'm on for my tremors or just life in...

1. Came here and saw the last post...God is still on the throne. So needed that! 2. Had a very dear friend pop and chat with me on FB...someone who I can't talk with due to distance, phone issues etc. So that was very GOOD! 3. Hmmmm..struggling for a 3rd...maybe the last can count for 2 :)

1. Got to spend a good deal of time making some cards today. Fun 2. My husband opted to go and do some grocery shopping for me. Nice break from the monotony...(hmmm although I wonder if there isn't some avoidance in that...) 3. I don't have to cook dinner tonight, nice when it's such a hot day.
