I’m doing a project for design class and I need to draw something I don’t like. Recently I’ve been having a lot of anxiety and feelings of lost control. I was hoping to think of some sort of object or something that can be drawn that could somehow symbolize this feeling. It needs to be an object though.

Any ideas?

We have a 4 month old puppy and she has severe separation anxiety. She follows us everywhere and if we shut her out of our room she cries and cries and sits by the door until we come out.

Is there a way to calm her down?
She also has an obsession with chewing. I think she has high anxiety.

Chosen Answer:

At four months old, your puppy is teething. you can get some Kong toy and ice for her to chew on. This will help sooth her gum.

Barking, whining, escaping, destructive behavior or, in severe cases, self-mutilation can be your dog’s way of expressing anxiety over your absence.

Practice leaving your dog alone for short periods of time. Pick up your keys and leave for 1 minute.

Gradually increase the amount of time you stay away. This will accustom your dog to your absence.

Avoid overly emotional good-byes and greetings. Instead, pat your dog on the head and offer a quick good-bye or hello.

Keep your dog confined in a safe area while you are away. Be sure to leave a bowl of water and plenty of chew toys.

Exercise your dog for an hour each day in places other than your yard or home. This helps your dog feel comfortable in other locations and lets her blow off steam

Praise your dog often to build self-confidence, rather than punishing her for exhibiting frightened behaviors. Punishment only increases anxiety and makes the situation worse.

I am returning to work in 2 weeks and am feeling extreme anxiety and guilt about leaving my 6-month baby. I haven’t been apart from him for more than 6 hours since he’s been born. Financially our family needs two incomes, and I am obligated to return to work, but am emotionally not ready. Whenever I think of it, I start crying. How can I deal with this?

Chosen Answer:

Just remember that what is good for the mother is good for the child. All involved in the family process have their own needs. Even at an early age children start to understand that they fit in to a larger picture. So getting back to work or your regular routine is really good for a baby. It provides a rythm to their world. Plus after you have picked the proper type day care for you and your child you can feel confident that the socializing they are picking up inherently is very valuable as well.

But if these feeling persist or intensify see your doctor or a therapist as post partum depression is real and terrifying.

Good luck with work! Enjoy.

I have a lot of anxiety including social anxiety.

It’s easy for me to rationalize that I shouldn’t be afraid, but the symptoms still come. Taking deep breaths does not help at all.

How can I get rid of it all?

I already know what bezo’s are so dont put Benzo’s are…..

I just wanna know the different feelings they give you……………
And dont say….Benzo’s are bad dont take them cause I have for 5 years taken xanax know im being switched to valium…..

Chosen Answer:

Xanax is very short acting. Valium takes many hours to clear your system. Otherwise they have very similar properties: calms you, makes you sleepy, reduces anxiety, and relaxes muscles.

I’d like to know generally how anti anxiety medications work, how long one is supposed to take them, and how a person or a doctor knows when is the right time to stop the medication.
If the anxiety is due to a chemical imbalance, does that mean the meds must be taken forever?

Chosen Answer:

Are they selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors? They build up to a maximum therapeutic level, and slowly become less and less effective as time goes on. It depends on the drug, but they are not a permanent solution. They help break the cycle of anxiety, but it is necessary to change the circumstances that provoked the anxiety to begin with. Otherwise it is likely to happen again. The doctor should have told you how long to continue with the course of treatment, or at least have advised you of the typical duration.
