I was just prescribed an anti anxiety medication today for my social anxiety. Could anyone explain how it works exactly? Like how it affects my brain and my thinking and everything?

They alter the neurotransmitters in your brain, creating a calming effect. There are a few mechanisms of action depending on the drug. I would google the drug name and go to an official website or read the package insert if you have it.

I am not numbed or dramatically transformed by my anti-anxiety medication- I am the real "me" with them and am an overworked, tortured soul without them. They help me live my life, be productive, and get the rest and happiness I need.

I mean Repetitive Stress Injuries

I got it in my shin bone from Running. I have Consult 2 Doctor and were told to just rest. Rested for months, Still the same.The Dr say they can do nothing about it. I’m so sad, it’s like theres 0% of Recovery.

I’m consulting another sport Doc soon my my condition.

My Question, is there any aother good types of treatment for Bone Stress Injuries.

Is Anti-immaflatory like suitable for bone stress?

I’ve had stress injuries and stress fractures. I honestly feel like stress injuries are worse. Mine was in my foot so they immobilized it for awhile and now are only allowing me to wear tennis shoes, rest it, and non-impact exercise only.

I could be wrong but I don’t think anti-inflammatories will do anything for bones.

I’m assuming you have had an MRI if not maybe you should inquire about one.

I have a driving test in 3 weeks time, the only problem is I am suffering bad anxiety at the moment, do you think I would be better putting my test of until i get help for my anxiety or is there a way i can manage my anxiety on the test day so that i don’t get too nervous, is there any techniques i could use to reduce the anxiety on test day?

I had the same thing when I went for my test on the 7th.

I went the first time on March 26th, I was a little nervous, went through the test fine until I failed because some moron didn’t give me the right of way. On April 7th I went again and I was SOO nervous. I bawled my eyes out an hour before, it was raining, there was an accident at one end of the town and road construction on the other. But I did just fine and I passed. The instructors KNOW your nervous.

When I was in the car with the instructor I kept telling myself that he was just some guy who was giving directions to his house and I had to drop him off. When that didnt work I told myself, Hey no one knows me in this place anyway so whatever.

Back to your question.

Deep Breathing, and just put your mind somewhere else. The more you think about it the more nervous you will get. And I don’t recommend putting it off, you’ll always be nervous about it and you’ll never be ready for it until test day.

Just think, years from now, you’ll be telling your kids how you did on the test.

In other words, anxiety intensifies the negative feelings. My anxiety started to spike because of work-related stress. I have been experiencing anxiety issues as long as I can remember.

In my opinion anxiety is very unattractive, internally and externally. Anxiety intensifies my negative feelings as well. At least I know the worst will pass when the spike eases off. Hang in there!

I have a bottle of stress zyme that says it expired in March of 2004, from what I can tell. Does this stuff actually "expire"?

I would think that the expiration date on the bottle is the last date that the manufacturer will guarantee that the "live bacteria" in the bottle will be alive and ready to help cycle your tank.

After all, the bacteria can only last so long without eating something, eh? Closed up in a bottle with nothing to sustain them, I am sure they will eventually all die.
