He is so well-behaved, trained and I just love him. But it seems as though he has gotten some anxiety issues maybe? I don’t know. but the problem is he is going to the bathroom (1 & 2) in the house and getting into the garbage right after I leave. He didn’t do this before and he has never ever done it while I was home, I’ve tried calming tablets, i tried exercise and playing before I would leave him, I’ve gave him big rawhides and toys to play with before I left, I tried leaving the t.v. on for him, music playing. but he just won’t stop. I don’t want to lock him up and i don’t want to get rid of him. I just am trying to find suggestions to what maybe I can do to try to get him to stop going to the bathroom in my house! please help.

I don’t like to do this unless I have to, but I would put him in a crate. Dogs don’t like to mess in a small area they are confined to. I have a full rott and 2 half rotts. They are now 9-11 years old.I came home from work one night to discover that one of the dogs had torn the stuffing out of my couch. That was about 10 years ago and it didn’t take much time with the crate training for him to decide it was better to behave so he could stay out of the crate and sleep on the couch.

Help with Social Anxiety?

Posted by: admin | Comments (6)

I’ve being struggling with social anxiety disorder for as long as i can remember and i cant take it anymore, can anyone who has or is recovering from this illness give me some advice on how to beat it or at least reduce its debilitating effects.

I’ve suffered from social anxiety for a long time. I’ve never been a person to seek therapy though. I have to agree with a couple other people on some things. Controlling your breathing helps a lot. Maybe close your eyes a bit and take deep breaths. I have my ‘good’ days and my ‘bad’ days. If I have an extremely bad day I won’t be able to go to a store myself. It helps a ton if I go out in public with someone I’m really comfortable with… in my case my mom.
A lot of times I can’t speak to people… no words will come out. I guess you could say I have ‘anger problems’ as well. I keep things bottled up until I’m about to explode. During this time I don’t seem to be bothered by my social anxiety. I’ll go off on anyone who p*****s me off and all the words seem to flow out. I guess that’s not too healthy either, huh? You should probably see a professional and get help… maybe someday I will too….

Hi I’m 16 and I’ve been having trouble with my heart.
I know its all in my head, but i cant seem to take my mind of it. I’ve been concious of every heart beat for the past 4 days.
It all started when i was laid in bed n i could feel my heart against the bed. the more i relaxed the slower it got.. and i panicked and worried that i’d slow it down too much accidently.. because i was using my mind to slow it down.
Mad.. i know.
but i panicked and started getting frequent palpitations which I’ve never had before.
i went insane, and before i found out what palpitations actually where, my head was running through memories.. praying. i thought i was going to die.
obviously, i wasn’t n i know that know.. but ever since then i cant take my mind of my heart. its driving me insane! i know i have nothing to worry bout, but how do i stop thinking about it?
i don’t want to be concious of it any more.. how do i train myself to be able to get distracted easily?
I want to be able to sleep again, without being concious of every heart beat.
(I’ve been to doctors n I’ve had my heart checked. everything is healthy, its just a matter of anxiety.
all i ever do is cry tho.. I’ve slept about 2 hours in the past 5 nights.. I’m absolutely exhausted.
but no matter how tired i am, i cant sleep.
sleeping tablets (prescribed by my doctor) help me get about an hour if I’m lucky, but i’ll just wake up and lie there. but i’d do anything to find an alternative to sleeping tablets to help em sleep naturally, and not think about my heart beat.
its not just at night tho, its 24/7. my heart rate is up n down all the time, with me panicing or getting stressed about the fact that i am concious of it.
its driving me insane. i just want to sleep. i just want to able to get on with my life. Be able to concentrate on my work. Talk to people n actually concentrate instead of monitoring my heart.
pleas help me :’(
how do i distract myself from my heart, and STAY distracted?
how do i break this constant conciousness of my heart beat?

You could try Kava root as a natural way to help you sleep or for anxiety — it’s the most widely researched herb for anxiety, and not physically addictive at all — I recommend http://www.shamansgarden.com/c-516-dried-roots.aspx

You could also ask your doctor about being prescribed a beta blocker such as Toprol XL or Zebeta, which reduce the effects of adrenaline on your heart — ex: your heart will beat slower and less hard when you’re anxious compared to if you weren’t taking a beta blocker. It is frequently prescribed to help with physical symptoms of anxiety, such as a fast or pounding heartbeat.

Mindfulness meditation can be helpful too, as you learn to gain control of your mind and concentrate on just one thing. You also learn how to not get anxious over your thoughts. Check out http://www.youtube.com/user/yuttadhammo#p/c/603BD0B03E12F5A1/0/hLvU7ppM4vE for an intro to meditation.

social anxiety.. please help :(?

Posted by: admin | Comments (4)

I’ve always been a really anxious person, but I’m over it! I just wanna be confident. I get scared of talking on the phone, esp if I have to ring someone, I’ll do everything not to. Also I can’t handle meeting friends of friends, but I’m ok meeting a complete stranger… I mean, what the fuck? I worry about what everyone thinks if I say something, and half the time I can’t speak when I’m around people I don’t know. I didn’t realise how bad it was until last night when I was emant to go out for dinner with a group of old school friends whom I hadn’t seen for yonks and then when I woke up and realise it was that night I freaked out and didn’t go!! I hate this, it’s ruining my life. What can I do?

i have social anxiety disorder but what i did to cope was when i was in an inpatient facility, my therapist there told me that i don’t have to put myself in that position and it helps. so maybe it’ll help you.

I’ve been having trouble getting to sleep at night and sleeping in during the day…I’ve talked to a few of my friends and I have most of the symptoms of anxiety…Is it bad to take Tylenol PM to help me get to sleep and help me sleep in a little bit later in the day?

Tylenol and Benadryl are not habit forming. Neither of these drugs are bad for you in moderation. Tylenol can affect your liver but only at high doses around 4,000mg. One Tylenol PM is not going to be bad for you. I take 1 or 2 Benadryl when I can’t sleep or I know I need to get rest and am anxious about a test the next day. Taking benadryl is much better than getting a prescription sleep agent that can be habit forming.

How to reduce anxiety?

Posted by: admin | Comments (6)

I have pretty bad anxiety problems (for about two years). I get stressed out about practically everything and it’s getting to the point where I’m not sleeping and I eat considerably less than I normally would. I’ve been to therapy, but it never really worked for me. Should I consider going back anyway? How can I keep my level of anxiety down? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need to see a family doctor first. She should decide what kind of treatment is most appropriate for you. Depending on your severity of anxiety there are many options. For example:

1. Relaxation techniques (yoga, meditation, reading existentialist philosophy, visualization etc..) if your anxiety is relatively low
2. Therapy administered by a psychologist, or a social worker or any other non-medical prorfessional, if your anxiety is a bit more severe
3. Cognitive psychotherapy or psychoanalysis administered by a psychiatrist for serious anxiety problems
4. Drugs, such as anti-depressants, for most severe cases of anxiety

Of course, you could include all, or any combination, of these treatments in your life.

Don’t get discouraged if the therapy doesn’t seem to be working for you. It may be because it’s the wrong type, or maybe you can’t form a communication line with the therapist. People sometimes go for years to psychoanalysis before they see any improvement.

I think I may have General Anxiety Disorder… I’ve been fretting about small things and worrying I’m gonna have a heart attack for a good 6 months now and I’ve been to the hospital exactly 19 times in the past 6 months… They’ve said my EKGs check out fine everytime. Can anyone give me some insight on what to do? Like how to cope with this besides going on medication? It’s beginning to get on my nerves so badly… I need someone who has experienced these feelings’ help.

when you are at the hospital what does the hospital staff suggest ??? Then take their input & go w/it~you may just need some counseling of sorts @ like the mental health clinic in your area~they charge on ability to pay for those w/out insurance~just cause you go for counseling does NOT mean they will try to medicate you♦
