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.

Anxiety and panic attacks? Please Help?
Hello i am about 95% sure i have developed the symptoms to panic attacks, anxiety and stress in the past 2-4 years. At first i just tried to live with it but it has got to bad now.

i went to my GP doctor as advised on the internet, but he seemed not be be taking me seriously as i am 19 years of age. In the end all he recommended was to relax and maybe try yoga. However im sure from the internet that medication is available.

What should i do? i don’t want to pay for private care and medication should be available on the NHS (British national health trust) as along at is prescribed by the doctor

I have had panic attacks for 14 years – always at work. I have never taken medication for them and have not told my Dr. about them. Sometimes I have one after another for an hour or more, then they subside and begin again. I try to talk myself down but I am soooo tired of them. I do yoga and meditation after work but my work days are filled with the attacks.

Telling myself that it will be OK, I’m alright, etc. does not help. I am not trusting of the Life process. Anyone have things they say to themselves or do you get up from your desk for a breather? Somtimes that helps, but he moment I am back at my desk they begin again.

i have been suffering from panic attacks now for 3 months and really cant learn to deal with them. when one comes on, i automatically think i am going to die ie im having a heart attack, i have a blood clot. its ruining my life. i have had acupunture, tried yoga taken tablets, used bach remedies but nothing. i know i have a fear of death but this is beyond control. i have been checked and i have a healthy heart and healthy lungs. but what are the chest pains i always get?? help someone please

When I have been to the doctor they always recommend anti-depressants but I am reluctant to take these as I am not depressed and they make me feel sick.

I have tried yoga, hypnotherapy and counselling to no avail.

Any advice? Thank you
