I have this problem too. Try relaxation techniques/ breathing exercises and avoid too much caffeine. If this is a regular problem ask your GP about a beta blocker such as propranolol.

Mybreathing's been all over the place all day anyway and had an asthma attack and things so wondering if that's what's making me shake :s-smilie:

I used to do it a lot, haven't so much recently (or maybe just noticed less as not at school trying to write or anything) but I will, thanks :smile:

Really struggling a lot. Very anxious and depressed. Think I'm going to drop university possibly. I'm failing anyway, and can only get an ordinary degree.

I went back through for uni last night, but had to come back to my hometown by train earlier today.

I don't think you are meant to use those tablets if you have asthma, but there will be others you can try :smile:

It's unlikely someone with asthma will get beta blockers prescribed as they can stop salbutamol from working.

Have you been using your inhaler a lot today or had nebulisers? One of the side effects of salbutamol (the stuff in blue inhalers) can be skeletal muscle tremor.

you'd be surprised! I didn't think I'd fit in at Uni either, but when I went I quickly found people who I fitted in with :smile:

for me it was through my politics but am sure you will find something too, societies and groups are a great way to meet people you will fit in with for one!

I'll probably join a society or two and I will just go around doing whether I feel like during some days in freshers week. I'll try my bets to be presentable.

i think we're all worried about making friends at uni (i move in two weeks), but 99.9% of people manage it, so im sure we'll be fine :tongue:

I shall have to wait and see :smile:

do any of you guys take medication for depression? and if you do does it really help? I mean it's hard to see depression as curable by an type of medication tbh, it's also a state of our own minds...? x

I take antidepressants (Sertraline, namely). It's not a solve-all cure but it certainly makes me far more functional than I would be otherwise :yes:

did they keep tabs on you at first? suicide unfortunately is more likely when taking anti depressants isn't it? and then it's not really possible to come off them :l sorry for the questions im just petrified by thinking about taking them

I've wondered if I have depression for a few years now, or if I'm just unmotivated :tongue:

YEAH. All the coolest people in here take sertraline.
Mine's for panic disorder, but does naff all to help with the frequency/ length of my panic attacks. Works beautifully on my mood though. Does mean I can get out of bed much easier than I did pre-meds tbh.

Not really, I had regular appointments as I normally would but no one kept an eye on it as such. Well, I guess my CPN (community psychiatric nurse) may have secretly! :ninja:

The side effect you've mentioned is meant to be very rare, afaik :yes:

No need to be scared! If one doesn't work for you or has nasty side effects, they can gently taper that one off and start you on a new one :yes:

I am literally the same. I know I need to go see my GP but i've had this 'depression' feeling when I was 12-14 then I managed to get better without meds/counseling. I literally had the best time after I got better so I am 'waiting' this feeling out because I don't want to take meds :l

I just want to feel better without having to resort to going to the GP too, I just wish I could feel like I used to, then I'd be really excited for uni etc. but I'm really not now :/

Ooh, climbing- I'm jealous! :tongue:

I'm ok, trying to work out what to do with the rest of the year basically and sort out some work experience/an orchestra I can join which should be good :biggrin:

Yeah, I was shaking before then though I think and I've taken them much more with attacks in the past :s-smilie:

I don't think I've used the white and green (atrovent?) inhaler before though in them as it normally works to stop them, so that may have made the shaking worse.
