Okay, for the past couple months or so I’ve been having panic attacks lasting anywhere from a minute to a couple days, it’s awful. I’m 14 years old and I struggle to get through school, because I have anxiety attacks most of the days I go. My symptoms are feeling out of reality, out of body feeling, dreamy feeling, lightheaded, dizziness, fear of it getting worse (sometimes), sometimes I shake (visibly), fear of losing control, unstableness, not there, weird, odd thoughts, tired, can’t get to sleep, mind is racing, headaches, aching body, loss of hunger/thirst (sometimes), there’s more, but that’s the major ones…. what can I do to treat this? I already went to like 5 doctors, they kept sending me to another doctor, and I’m on a waiting list now. Is this anxiety or something else? Please help, this is amazingly uncomfortable / annoying / unneeded. I want help…it’s interfering with my life, it sucks..

I was in therapy last year for 6 months for panic disorder and emetophobia (fear of vomiting). I had to quit due to losing my insurance. Now I am having the same anxious feelings again, sweating, upset stomach, hot flashes, body aches, etc. I can’t stand to go thru it again and don’t know what to do. I have been doing my breathing but it still keeps coming. We are in a really stressful time right now and I think it might be due to that. Anyone with any advice I would really appreciate.

I need to get a job and get on with my life, but how can I do that when simply driving to the store sends me on a hellish fit of fear and panic? I cant even get to the doctors easily….

If you were once a sufferer and found treatment, your opinion would be most valid.

I already went through two panic attacks recently during which I had to be taken into hospital. Whenever I am experiencing those panic attacks I feel like I am going insane there is fear inside me that makes me tremble and makes my whole body cold. i hyperventilate and experience pains in some areas of my bodies, chest especially. My heart so fast that it feels like it is goign to rip a hole through my chest.

I need to know if there are any available "home made" treatments. And what is there to prevent them.. as well as what can I when I get a sudden panick attack.

I am taking Ativan and Paxil. I was taking Xanax but it does not work on me any longer.

Let me brifely describe what I think causes my panic attacks
I am in BAD finanical situation which creates lots of stress. I am working in a stressful evnironment. Recently, I am expriencing anxiety and I do not want to deal with many people and just want to be left alone.

Help, please.

I get panic attacks so bad i’ve been losing so much sleep, im scared of when it gets dark, fear of having no one to talk to when i have the attacks…i just need some help. if anyone knows a hotline i can call that would be greatly appreciated. and FYI i have already been to the doctor and prescribed meds it’s just so bad i can’t deal i need someone to talk to:(

I’ve been thinking about taking Xanax to help with my anxiety attacks. (i’ll go to the doc for this)
But before I do so, I was just curious about somethings..

Side effects:
Such as weight gain?? It that true?

Does it really work for anxiety? scale 1-10 of how well it works?

How does it make you feel? (i’m do not of drugs that make you feel weird and not in control of you body)

Will it eventually make you not have anxiety? How?

Will I be able to still do daily activites like gym?

My view of Xanax is it makes you real relaxed and tired..so i’m worried i’ll be lazy and druged up everyday!

I really want to treat my anxiety because it is hold me back on a lot of things. I have anxiety about having axniety! which is difficult to ignore and try to not let it hold me back. It’s a fear..and i hate it.

my spouse has anxiety and panic attacks. she will not go anywhere with me either for fear of panic attacks. i want to spark up our relationship with some fun and being romantic. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this with her condition?
Thanks for your responses, very much appreciated.

Hi I have been suffering on and off from panic attacks for over 20 years! Now they are back again, I have had my heart checked and it is fine, but I just cant seem to control these things and the fear it be a heart attack! I know thats stupid. Has anyone managed to beat this thing and how?

Are there any free hotlines that you can call if you suffer anxiety/panic attacks? How effective are they with helping people overcome and conquer the fear of having attacks? Do the people benefit and learn ways to deal with them through breathing exercises instead of using medication?

I am 16 years old. I have been having anxiety attacks for the past couple of months.?
I have never had any mental health issues in my life before these last couple of months. Ive never been to a therapist or any other mental health doctor because i was perfectly okay. I have been feeling guilty and scared. I have weird fears and I keep thinking about them through out the whole day, and i try to keep myself from thinking about them which is exhausting. I cant sleep due to my anxiety attacks. I dont know what is happening. I am scared I might be going insane or something. Please help. One of my fears was that I might still have feelings for a boy I used to talk to while being with my current boyfriend. I felt guilty about having thoughts about the boy I used to talk to, and it would scare me all day. My boyfriend tells me to go see a doctor, but i am too embarassed and ashamed. I have looked up my symptoms, and I think what this is might be OCD. Please help. I am really scared and so tired of this.
nothing dramatic happened in my life to have triggered this. just fear of losing my current boyfriend. my father thinks i am a crazy person for wanting to see a therapist, he will take me, but i am ashamed because he is making it seem like its not something "normal" people do. thats why i am ashamed. im also afraid a doctor wont help.
i am scared to go on medication, my father says it will mess me up and change me. my mother is schizophrenic, and ive seen what medication has done for her. i dont understand. i was perfectly okay a couple months ago. how could this have started out of no where?

im a 20 yr old female…
how do i shake this unbelievable feeling of panic and anxiety i have from drinking yday?
why cant i just get a hangover like normal people?i have not left the house all day or the fear of a panic attck hitting me.why does this happen?
how can i get rid/prevent this from happening?this is only a new enough feeling, i used to just get a regular hangover now the past few months this has started happening.

My Best Friend suffers from panic attacks and always asks for me when she falls in to one. I think she does because i can deal with epilepsy sufferers but i dont know what else to help with other than sit with her and watch her breath into a bag and talk to her. Shes on medication but that only makes her sleep then wake up in absolute fear. What else can i do?

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?

today i felt "trapped" in a place where i did not want to be and i had an anxiety attack as a result, i felt terrible pressure in my head, fear, and dread and when I looked at the palms of my hands, I could see my pulse in the middle of my palm. is this normal during an anxiety attack???
christopher go suck a dick
hm perhaps it was insanely extreme hypertension or something

I’ve been having panic attacks for about a year now. I also usually have like a lump in my throat feeling and nausea. I saw a doctor a few months ago and she prescribed me some Lorazepam. The med did not work very well, and I still have panic attacks.
I have panic attacks because I start thinking of getting them or getting nauseous. So in a way, I have developed a fear; I’m pretty sure I must have Panic Disorder.

I have grand mal seizures and they’re horrifying. I don’t want to face them anymore and when I wake up I immediately start panicking and I take a Xanax (prescribed for panic and anxiety disorder) and go back to bed.

When I wake up again it’s the same thing. More horrifying fear for no reason. I’ve seen psychologists. I’m agoraphobic and just scared to death of seizures and life.

Please talk to me if you’re like me. I keep praying but I just get worse.
Thanks.
