and routines. Much of the time the anxiety does not have a cause that either of us are aware of. When sufficiently stressed - such as during a panic attack - Allison’s muscles tense up to the point of causing her pain. In rubbing her neck, shoulders, and back I can feel how tense and knotted up her muscles are. When suffering from a panic attack or heightened anxiety Allison pours sweat. She often has to change clothing multiple times a day when her clothing gets saturated in sweat. She…

I owe a lot to Dan Cody former Oklahoma Defensive End. I don't talk about it much but I was diagnosed with severe panic attack/anxiety disorder when I was in third grade.

I started playing football in 8th grade and then the time came to play at Westmoore High School. I went to offseason workouts for a few days and…

You've got your young grandkids for the day. They cry inconsolably when mommy leaves. The poor young things have what they call separation anxiety. A San Diego psychologist discusses some hints that can help. It is a blessing to be endowed with grandchildren.

When I'm having a panic attack, 100 Kilowatts (that's 83334 potato batteries) are all firing through the water as the noodles pulse and burst under the stress, an array of neon foams shaking in unhappy waters. When I am having one of these panic attacks, there is only so much I can process of my outside world; I am stripped of the capacity to take in what's around me. Consequently, I cannot effectively communicate during an attack. Whirling, my thoughts travel around…

I have been struggling with the effects of Hashimoto’s disease, GERD, anemia, vitamin deficiency, anxiety, and depression for years without a proper diagnosis and treatment program. Each year a doctor has prescribed something to relieve a symptom, such as an iron infusion for my anemia. But, the relief has been short-lived.
