Tomorrow I have to go get a wisdom tooth chopped out by the Dentist!
I really really am scared of having a Panic Attack on the operating table! Anybody got any advice on how I can Psyche myself up for the scary as hell event I’m facing!!!!
Thanks in advance.

My boyfriend has quite bad anxiety/depression.
It really upsets me that I don’t know how to make him as happy as he could be.
On top of that I have quite a few problems with stress and anger and I lash out quite a lot.
He’s so nice and would never ever say or do anything to hurt my feelings but I can’t help trying to pick little arguments, not bad ones.
I know he would be better off without me, but I really don’t want to loose him.
Half of the time I have no idea what I’m getting angry at and I just seem to take it out on him. I really don’t want to do it but I can’t help it.

So does anyone have any ideas how I can make him happier, or try and control my anger around him before I muck everything up!?!

Thanks in advance.
I forgot to mention, he already is on anti-anxity meds, and does see someone about his anxity. He’s been on them for years and slowly getting the dosage lowered.

I have had anger management and didn’t feel it helping, but I am starting it up again within the next couple of weeks.

It’s a long distance relationship.
So I don’t see him nearly as much as I would like anyway.

My friend gets them all the time lately. He has always been a little nervous acting but lately he’s had to go to the hospital thinking he was having a heart attack. He’s only 22. Sometimes he has such a problem with depression he can’t sleep and will drink several beers until he falls asleep.

I want to give him some good advice. He just saw a counselor today for the first time.. haven’t heard yet what the doc did or prescribed.
Thanks in advance =D

I’ve been very good about cutting out all of the foods that act as risk factors for me, and getting regular exercise.

When I have any amount of free time, however, I start to freak out. I want very much to be able to sit down and study, or write, but most days I find myself needing to do mindless s*** just to calm down.

It’s really silly. For example, I cannot concentrate on Friday afternoons because I know I have to go to work on Monday. And I love my job.

Medications are unnecessary at this point, but I’m getting really frustrated with doing everything "right" and still having this problem. It seems like my body is actually adapting so that I will feel anxious even when there is no trigger for it.

Thanks in advance.
Also, I do not have insurance, so I cannot afford a psychologist.
The problem, as far as activities go, is that I do stuff like baking and sewing when I want to be reading Hegel.

And I go to yoga 5x a week.

Just a heads up, i do not want answers that say "i dont know" "thanks for the 2 points" OR "ask a doctor". I will ask one later, but this was a random question that poped into my head, and thought i’d ask on here, just to see if anyone knows the answer. just a warning, i will report anyone who doesnt give a real answer.

My question is… Does anybody know if there is any type of [legal] drug out there, that can be taken only minutes before a panic attack, and prevent it? I dont like taking medication daily, so really, I’m just curious if there is anything out there, that can be taken "as needed", yet still be effective in a short amount of time. like… i feel one coming on, i pop a pill down, and then im good to go… lol.
Basically, similiar to how people with asthma, have an inhaler. is there anything related to that for panic attacks?
Thanks in advance for all ur help.

What is the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack ?
I’ve been suffering from panic attacks and wanted to find out more about it and how it links with anxiety attacks.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance to all who answer my question!

I have been prescribed Xanax for the anxiety by my doctor but it hasn’t helped. My anxiety attacks feel like I have a weight in my chest (can’t catch my breath), I keep checking my pulse to make sure my heart is beating, I feel like my blood pressure is either really high or really low, and have a general feeling of impending doom. These attacks come and go several times every day. The dizzy spells are short lived and more sporadic. Any idea what this is? Thanks in advance for your help.

I havent been diagnosed with panic disorder yet but Im sure I will be as I have them everyday and I have done for about 6 to seven months and they just keep getting worse.
What Im worried about is sometimes I get extremely depressed, is that part of panic disorder and will medication for it help it go away?

Thanks in advance
