Stress & Anxiety from Fireworks
Anxiety medication is too costly. What can I do? My dog has been known to throw herself into the door of her cage (and hurt herself badly) because of her anxiety. She is normally a VERY quiet and passive dog. I called the vet and just to bring her in to get sedatives would cost me upwards of $300. I just can�t afford it.
Sedatives WILL NOT cost $300. You need a new vet.
Benadryl can sometimes make dogs a little sleepy and can be given at 1mg per pound of body weight twice daily.

Symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Has anyone had burning chest pain, aching pain, teeth pain, chin pain, jaw falling asleep, sharp arm pains off and on, a lot of gas moving in chest, burning stomach in association with anxiety or is it heart related? Also some pains in leg, back of head and dizziness and headaches? And comes and goes worse during anxiety. It usually starts about a week before a weird sensation in my throat.
Sounds like you have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder).
The teeth and jaw pain is probably caused by you grinding your teeth while you sleep.

What is hierarchy of anxiety disorder?
Anxiety disorder hierarchy:
Social anxiety disorder behavioral therapy groups should not pressure, push, or cajole people to do things. No negative tactic should be employed because the individual must choose to participate at her own pace. If she wants to sit there in group and not say a word, that�s O.K. No one should be made to do anything.

Anxiety Support Groups Offer Help and Healing
"For years, I felt like I was a freak or something," said Janice. "My family couldn�t understand what was wrong with me. I knew there was nothing rational about my fears but I thought there was nothing I could do to control them until I started attending the anxiety support group in my city."
For Janice, the support group was a major tuning point. "It�s the best thing I�ve ever done for myself. I wish I had started attending the anxiety support group years ago because I could have spared myself a lot of suffering."
Anxiety support groups help people empower themselves and others on the path to recovery. Participants in anxiety support groups share "war stories" with each other and offer coping tips that have worked for them.

Birth Control a Cause of Anxiety
Yes, it can.
I can tell you from personal experience that if you think your pill is the cause of anxiety, you should go off of it immediately. Everyone is different though.
My suggestion would be to find a pill with a different concoction of hormones. I would definitely check with your gynecologist and find out what they recommend for your specific needs.

Is this Social Anxiety Disorder?
My 11 month-old has a phobia of some strangers and not others. She attends day care once per week for an hour and she's fine there, but whenever her physical therapist comes over (once every two weeks) or we introduce her to someone new that is my or my husband's age or older she freaks out.
I don�t know if this is social anxiety disorder, but I can tell you that my 15 month-old little girl only acted that way around people who are, I don't want to say negative, but she felt something that wasn't right in people whatever that may be.
If she is around a certain person more when that person is happy or in a good mood she will feel that and eventually come to be comfortable around that person.

Anxiety Disorder Association of America
The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) helped calm their fears when Lisa and David were told that their beautiful four year old daughter suffered from childhood anxiety.
"We were devastated at first," said Lisa. "We thought that we were bad parents or that we had done something horrible to cause this condition in our daughter. After talking to the ADAA we realized that anxiety is a disease that needs treatment just like diabetes or heart disease.
Working with a therapist, Lisa and David discovered that children and teens have anxiety in their lives, just as adults do, and they can suffer from anxiety disorders in much the same way.
