Chronic anxiety disorder is the worst pain for humans, do you agree?
I've had horrible anxiety disorder and given birth. I'd rather give birth. At least you know there's an end to it, and it's for something positive. You're bringing life into the world.
However, nobody can discount another person's suffering. To that person, it's their entire world.

What are your suggestions to curing anxiety, shyness and agoraphobia?
I have anxiety, shyness and agoraphobia, and I'm highly functional in most cases.
Can't walk out the door? Try holding the doorknob for awhile, until you feel comfortable enough to go to the next step, which might be opening the door, standing there for 20 seconds, and then close the door.

Anxiety Disorder and Drug Tests
If someone takes a Xanax for anxiety disorder and then has a drug test four days later, how do they pass?
Standard drug tests for employment and probation purposes only test for cocaine, thc, amphetemines, and opiates.
Xanax does not fall into any of those categories, and if it is prescribed for anxiety disorder, it would not matter anyway.

Does this sound like anxiety and depression and do you take the same kind of medications for these problems?
It sounds like depression, but you really need to consult a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Do not go to your family doctor! They are not licensed to diagnose any type of mental illness and are too eager to hand out medications.
Please note that you may only have to take meds for a short period of time and not your whole life.

Stress, Anxiety and Depression - Breathing Problems
You don't say what is causing the stress but, yes stress, anxiety and depression can all cause breathing problems.
Remove yourself from the situation that is stressing you and take deep calming breaths - you will feel better.
Force yourself to think some kind and positive thoughts about yourself or your own ability and don't take any radical action on anything until you've had a decent night's sleep.

Can Anxiety Attacks Affect Menstrual Cycle?
I went through a really bad break-up and during that time, which was two weeks ago. I had anxiety attacks. I'm having PMS symptoms, sore breasts and all but I'm three days late and I know I can�t be pregnant.
Absolutely, anxiety attacks can affect the menstrual cycle.
However, if you did have sex any time within the time of your last period until now, get a pregnancy test; because unless you used a condom, etc and it didn't break, there's a chance you can be pregnant.

Dog has Separation Anxiety Disorder
My dog has severe separation anxiety; he freaks every time someone leaves the house (friend or stranger, even if I stay).
I tried discipline, reassurance, rewards for calm, nothing works.
The panic attacks and barking are upsetting for him and me. I am stay-at-home mom to him, walk him 4/5 short walks/day, have another dog he gets along with. I just don't know what to do about this really bad separation anxiety.
