I can't hear any of the meditations on my phone, but there's nothing wrong with the volume/sound on the phone. Is there a fix for this?
I have a similar problem, @FeelsMoreLikeAMemory . My meditations turn off when my phone screen goes dark. This just doesn't make sense!
Is it possible to get over social anxiety or does it stay with you forever?
@Kiwiflavours i think you can get over it. I also have social anxiety, but i think with alot of help, we can get over it. I don't wanna say in a year, but maybe in 5 years or something. It's gonna be hard but i know for sure you can become a different person, a person who likes to speak and socialize with other people. I'm sorry if my english sucks lol
@Sadxgirlx iam going thru this with my family and dont know how to express it to them
Why are cluster B personality types allowed to post in the recovering children/ children of/ adult children of the disorders? It seems unhealthy to allow that in what I would say should be a safe place...
What are some good self help books one could use for generalized and social anxiety?
How many year can you be on meds for anxiety?
@vnb80
I am not a doctor, but from what i was told, it is diffrent for each person.
it depends on the person and the type of medication. a lot of the time anti anxiety meds have addictive qualities/chemicals to them and can create a higher risk of addiction. Some times doctors will change or alter the way you take them.
for example.
when my mental health issues and disorders began i had to take, 2 pills regularly and more if i was in a crisis/panic mode so lets say 6 pills a day at first. then over time when i managed my mental health related episodes, my meds changed to 1 time a day and 1 at a time in crisis. and now i am only taking one if i am triggered or experiancing panic ect. so more like a play it day by day.
also i have been on this anxiety medication for 5 years. i know this might be a blanket or vauge answer/replie but i hope it helps.
@vnb80 i was on lexapro i was younger and before i became a teenager and my homeopathic medication helps me with my anixety im 23 now
Does it matter if an woman dates an older man?
@MISTYSNOW It is completely fine, you just need to believe in your relationship.
@MISTYSNOW
It depends on the circumstances and that both are legal consenting adults. We are all wired differently and can definitely connect with people in other age brackets. If you fall in love and your brain chemistry is going crazy then why not?
Min only ever weary of very young 16-25's getting involved in much older people. Mainly because this is usually (term usually) the time of identity growth. Also a lot of the time, the older partner is ready to have a family, has had a family with another partner, or doesn't want to have a family at all ever. These all are very confronting views for younger people who haven't had a whole lot of life experience (outside of schooling) and may find that in years to come they don't agree with older partners views anymore. However there are many relationships that overcome this and have been fruitful. It is all on the people involved. With every relationship you need to have strong open communication.
Is there anyway to really recover from self harm?
@Littlelovin

How do you know if u have anxiety or depression?
Is there any way to earn a free membership?
for example, It'd be really cool if reaching a certain goal as a listener or completing an internship could earn one a full 'paid' membership as a member.
How do I know if I'm bisexual? I don't think I'm straight because I like girls a too... like I notice things like if they're cute or something. I sometimes wish I could kiss them, but I have had lots of crushes on guys too. I honestly don't know what to think at this point.
@BrainGUTZ
@BrainGUTZ
@BrainGUTZ you can be bisexual
I have those too @BrainGUTZ
@BrainGUTZ
how about you give it an try and see if that helps you it doesn't hurt to try
@BrainGUTZ
Well done for being honest with yourself. First let's put away labels for one moment and think of you as a person. We all grow and change. Sexuality isn't something that can be defined to one person for all of eternity. Sexuality changes, like our bodies change, like our brain chemicals change. You decide your sexuality, and if it changes that's ok too. I've labelled myself many things. I've been straight, bisexual and now I'd consider myself pansexual. In honesty though, I mainly just think of me as me. I am attracted to people, I love people, I enjoy intimate moments with consenting adults, regardless of gender.
Just embrace yourself and love yourself. Don't worry about the labels. If someone asks you can explain.
@OpheliaSwan thanks for the advice. I just told my mom how I feel and that I have a crush on a girl and I'm not sure if it's just that particular person or what but my mom was very accepting and we had a long talk and I decided that I like people in general for their personalities and I don't care about gender. She said that she will love me no matter what I decide I feel like and will accept anyone I love. Thanks for what you wrote it made me understand a lot better.
@BrainGUTZ
Im glad it helped and how awesome is your mom!!! Way to go! Unconditional love at its finest. I don't know ou but I'm proud of you. Strong communication relationships with people you trust is important. I hope it stays with you for years to come.
Have a Google at the gingerbread person. It shows you how we all lie on a spectrum for sexuality, gender and identity. It's society that demands we stand in neat little boxes, and for a lot of us this is distressing because we simply don't fit in.
Sending high 5's and hugs your way. This girl is super lucky to have you if it works out. It's not easy, but if it was a boy, it wouldn't be easy either ;)
