The thought of her drives me crazy for hours. When my husband tells me he wants us to go to her house I have to make a liquor store run first..She’s not good to my mind. Do I need phycological evaluation? Do you think i could benefit..I’m trying to get better so I can save my marriage
I only drink when I have to see her so I don’t jump on her.
She’s manipulative and controlling here are some details;

We used to live with her to help her pay her mortgage. I got fed up with her telling my husband everthing I did from me slamming the toilet seat too load to who I was talking to on the phone….I confronted her and told her that I didn’t appreciate her telling the world that i manipulate her son???(she was doing the manipulating) IF he wasn’t home she would harrass me to tell her where he was at!!(Like I was a dictator or something) We moved out the week I confronted her finally!! After that she had a diabetic problem and was hospitaqlized…telling the whole family it was my fault!! Lil’ did she know we were there as well because out babies had hand foor and mouth disease…I had to bring it to her attention becuase she claimed her son didn’t care..she turned red and saw how upset I was.
We have 2 kids together. She’s white and was not happy that my babies’ eyes were brown and not blue or green!!

I was on paxil for 2 years and got off of it. I feel fine and everything..even happier. But I am back to having panic attacks! I don’t want to rely on meds!!! Any suggestions?

Hi I would just like to know other peoples experiences on this.

I have anxiety but recently started having a lit of panic attacks.

Im Keleigh, female, 19 and from UK.

Please don’t take the p***s

if u read a few of my earlier questions u may get a better sense of where i am.
I cant continue living like this

I’ve recently found myself very stressed at work and someone i considered a friend seems to be harrasing me. It’s all very odd and I should be totally losing it but i’m not and this surprises me. I am positively miss smiley and think this is my self preservation kicking in. Anywho my question is how do you deal with it?

I believe I have anxiety disorder. I don’t need to get into why.

I have no family doctor, so I have no idea how to begin getting help.

Should I just walk into a walk in clinic?

I have been having panic attacks and I was prescribed lexapro. I have not taken it yet but before taking it I just want to know how long does it take for the drug to actually work for panic attacks?

I went through a really bad break up and during that time, which was 2 weeks ago I had anxiety attacks. I still get choked up thinking about it, can that have an affect on my period?

I’m having PMS symptoms, sore boobs and all….I’m just 3 days late and I know I cant be pregnant.Just someone told me my attacks could have pro-longed them.

I would like to know if anyone on this site over 40 is going through or has gone through the perimenopause? I am and as a result seemed to be plagued with anxiety attacks which are quite scary. Can anyone help or advise me what they did to cope with it . Thanks

I am so tired of feeling like a disabled person because of my panic disorder and the depression-like symptoms, and I WANT TO seek treatment, but everytime I call a mental health center, hospital or doctor, they are booked for at least a month. What do I do? I have a job, a life, and I need treatment ASAP. Emergency Rooms are not for treatment!

Im 18, when i am alone at home i sometimes have terrible panic attacks that scare me only thinking about it.
Im scared to be alone, the pain that i feel has no words, i start to feel brethless and sometimes i feel so much panic that i start to think about suicide. What can i do? I can’t take this.

I’ve not had a panic attack in ages, we’re talking at least a year i’d say, yet I still live in fear, the sub-concious is still fearful if you get what I mean, its still expecting a monster to jump out of the cupboard, I get this every day, I believed its called high anxiety.

The cure apparantly is to stop avoiding situations, but I haven’t been, I get on with all my normal activities in fear all day every day.

The only time it will lift is when I have a drink of alcohol, (And I don’t drink to cure it, just socially now and again)

Anyone know what I mean? Its like I’ve cured the panic attacks but the subconcious is still expecting them but there long gone.

Any ideas?

I have suffered from anxiety attacks for over a decade now and I am on a variety of meds for it. I still have attacks and I wish I could lessen their impact. When I try to meditate or physically relax, I actually get worse. My symptoms start out as very physical and then spread to uncontrollable mind racing, etc.

What is the best treatment for anxiety and panic disorder?
I am taking a beta blocker 25mg and the Dr gave me Xanax too. But everyone keeps telling me how wrong Xanax is and so addictive. But I keep having the panic attacks. Is anyone else taking an SSRI or something else for the anxiety and panic attack treatment? What are alternatives other than Xanax?
Anyone taking it combined with a beta blocker?

I have been having panic attacks for almost 4 years now and i dont know what to do . I dont know what brings them on and i dont want to have to see a doctor to cure them . Is there anybody out there that suffers from panic attacks and if so what do you do to get through them ?

Dianosis with depression/aniexty/bipolar/ with panic attacks,
so what is the best medications or theraphy to help this disorder?

I know this is probably a question only Drs would know but I can’t find anything on it. My dad went to the Dr with anxiety attack symptoms (fast heartbeat, worrying something terrible is wrong) and the nurse rushed him for blood work to check his white blood count and the Dr said if the Xanax didn’t work they’d run more tests. This worried me a little because I have no idea what it would be if it wasn’t anxiety/panic attacks. If anyone has any ideas…thanks

I suffer from really bad anxiety, and have had a few panic attacks. I can’t go into my city centre on my own, don’t really like to go anywhere on my own. I struggle with busy places, I end up feeling on edge, and like I stand out (although I don’t).

I’m a manager in a bookies, so have to deal with abusive and angry men sometimes. Although I stand my ground, any sort of confrontation leaves my whole body trembling.

I hate it. I hate being scared of everything.

I used to be really bad, I wouldn’t get on the bus at certain times. I used to go out of my way to get another bus home, because I didn’t want to get on my usual bus. Sometimes, I wouldn’t even use the usual bus stop.

I don’t understand it. I feel silly, but I can’t help it.

I have to feel safe, but I don’t.

Anybody know what I mean?
I have confidence in my job, because I know what I’m doing, and it’s generally the same everyday. I have a routine there.
I don’t smoke, I eat okay, and I have already stopped drinking coffee.

This has been going on for years.

My mum died last year, so I struggle with a little depression. But the anxiety etc went on long before that.

I don’t want to go on medication for my panic attacks.

what other ways are there to help them?
