i’ve recently had like 4 panic attacks and i think i have a panic disorder…have any of you taken treatment for preventing panic attacks and what helps…even if it’s not medicine?? i really need to know!
i’m also under 18, and i saw that a lot of people who asked about help for them recommended anti-depressants, but you have to be 18 to take them. But i found this website that had this medicine called Seredyn and it said it was all natural..has anyone tried it?
BREATHING my dear just breathing….
slow methodical breathing
I have to quit and it’s so hard as I crave it so much. I had my last been this morning and after waking up I’m so depressed and my panic attacks are out of control. If I quit today, when can I expect to eliminate my agoriaphobia, and have the depression and panic attacks leave. Please I need some help. I’ve been to three treatment centers and eventually the desire creeps in and I tell myself I can handle it this time, but always fail. I dont want to die and I dont want to live. I’ve let myself and housework go to hell and cannot get the courage to do either. I need positive advice, please. Thank you. For now I will use the name "I’m so desperate"
Very difficult questions with an even harder answer…STOP IT! Don’t Drink Beer or any other Alcohol
i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder 2 years ago, my psychiatrist also accepted that i have ptsd traits to.
at the moment im worrying alot do i have other disorders co existing with the borderline personality disorder ? like bi polar , ADD , OCD , GAD ?? AND THEY HAVENT BEEN DIAGNOSED ?
i lived as a reclusive for many years, developed agoraphobia , and only go out to pay bills do shopping etc – i have bad anxiety and panic attacks when i go out, hyper vigillant , cant venture far from my neighborhood anymore etc. i stay in my apartment most of the time etc.
basically im 31 now, suffered a very hard, tough life, years ago i was diagnose with borderline personality disorder and my psychiatrist accepted i have symptoms of PTSD disorder to.
in the past my symptoms have been :, mind racing, cluttered, scattered thoughts, forgetting what i was thinking minutes before —obsessive worries— repetitive asking questions on yahoo about same life circumstances —– impulsive outbursts of rage in public, difficult controlling aggression and rage ; antisocial anger towards people ; spacing out ( dissociation ) – persecutory paranoia , agoraphobia , intense panic and anxiety feelings when outside , palpitations ; a feeling of feeling abandoned and out of control : always found it difficult to concentrate and absorb information : ( although ive read books and understood them ) : keep having to re read sentences to understand them : mind drifts off whilst reading a page of words.
always had low self esteem, difficulty interacting, forming and maintaining friendships . im very intellectual and are often told im very intelligent, understand things well, talk well , and have a good mind. have a good imagination. can converse very well.
as a kid was quite hyperactive, always running around , but calmed alot into teenage years.
my mind always races every day, racing thoughts, keep forgetting things , my mind feels scattered with thoughts, difficulty trying to organise and structure.
have obsessive worrying thoughts about physical, mental health.
now those are all the symptoms i can think of that ive always experienced.
iam presently working with the mental health services although the therapy i want is not available ( psychotherapy ) because of lack of resources and funding, i have to accept what theyre offering which is an OT worker to go out into society to help me get integrated because ive been reclusive a long time now..
my moods fluctuate from being deeply depressed, despairing, abandoned, lonely, to feeling ok again the next hour , then the next hour to feeling ANGRY, ENRAGED , full of anxiety , mind racing constantly . see thinks in BLACK and WHITE etc. unstable impulsive moods…
this is why i agree i have Borderline PD .
ive been told i probablly dont have aspergers or bi polar or autism or ocd which came as a relief recentley.
but i scored high in an online adhd test recentley, and a GAD test , general anxiety disorder –
as well as my borderline personality disorder diagnosis , im also worrying at the moment do i have other possible disorders with it, for eg – GAD — OCD — bi polar — ADD — im worried i may have these other disorders undiagnosed, even though my psychiatrist said i dont have bi polar or ocd .
inspite of this ive NOT been diagnosed with ADD , aspergers , autism , ocd or bi polar – and my psychiatrist was adamant i dont have those disorders. just borderline .
The behaviors and sympoms are very similar. How ever the main differnce is Bipolar is a mood disorder, and the sympoms arise from the mood epiodes. BPD is a personality disorder…..and the moods arise from their learned way of thinking.
They can be missdiagnosed for eachother if not looked deeply into or by a dr that is bias towards diagnosing one or the other…..but they are distinct from eachother, and can coexist even.
Pretty much as an example…..impulsiveness in both. In bipolar, it is typicly only in the manic episode, where the mood is so high, thoughts are racing, ton of energy, and perceptions are distorted by this so things seem great very quickly, and will for the duration of the manic episode. In borderline it is due to a more black and white thinking, where at one point something will seem like the best thing in the world, until either something happens that causes it to become horrable in their eyes, or until something else takes their interest in the same manner.
And as far as moods, moods in bipolar IS the illness. Moods will change to being depressed or manic no matter what is going on i life. Could have everything going wrong and be manic and feel like everything is great, or could have everything great, and be depressed as can be. Could cry over nothing when depressed, or get angry quickly over something small when manic because that is how the brain is running. In borderline the mood problems are a result of the thought prossess. They have a very black and white thought prossess, so you could go from being their best friend in the world, and do something relatively small that they take as a insult, and suddenly you are the worst person in the world and hate them and so on. Because of this thought prossess, someone with BPD does get angry or upset very easily over little things, because they see things as very black and white, so its everything is great, or everything is horrable and falling apart.
I guess simplest way to put it is bipolar, moods cause the distorted thought prossess and other symptoms and BPD distorted thought prossess causes any mood problems and other symptoms.
If you have the very clear mood problems that are not caused because of of how you percive things, and also have very clear distorted perceptions of things that is not mood dependent, it is quite possible you have both
I have a friend that is very unbalanced mentally but refuses to get help. He’ll have mental breakdowns that interrupt his work life and his close friends. Do any of these symptoms look like anything to you?

-Irrationality
-Easily Addicted to things/Manic spender
-Easily upset/frightened/angered
-Panic Attacks
He’s almost 21, I’m just worried he’s going to lose his job as he’s getting constantly worse.
Bipolar disorder for sure;… probably overlapping with Generalised Anxiety Disorder……..
I am a very highly strung person who is an overachiever and perfectionist at school.
I also experiance panic/anxiety attacks reguarly
I was seing a Psychietrist but i moved houses and i havn’t had a chance to find another one yet.
What can i do to help regrow my thinning hair?
I have tried special shampoos, treatments and diet changes but nothing works.
Will going on medication for anxiety help my hair thinning?
Yes! Stress and anxiety will cause hair loss. I’ve just experienced it myself. I am learning to relax and I got some vitamins for hair, nails and skin at walmart. It makes the new hair stronger. it is working for me. It’s not coming out in clumps anymore. I’ve just been divorced and in the same month my son was hit by a 4-wheeler and broke his femur and arm. 2 surgeries so far and ex is asshole. Things are better now. My son is going to be okay and truely I just gave everything to God and he is pouring his blessings upon me =)
Alright, I have a feeling that I had an anxiety attack 2 weeks ago.
I had this dizzy feeling, an my heart started to beat fast.
I was with my mom, Im 12.
I lied down on the bed, and drank water and felt better after 6-7 minutes
Well, the doctor didn’t know what I was having since it was only the first day, I am overweight, I weighed 68 kilos, and I am 5foot.
Though the day after I started losing weight, eating healthy.
I had another anxiety attack a few days after.
The 2 weeks are up, I haven’t had an anxiety attack in a while.
Though, I still have shortness of breath, and chest pain, and abit of numbness. I used to weigh 68, now I weigh 65.
If I continue losing weight, stayin healthy, and calm the heck down will thes ephysical symptoms go away? are there any natural treatments?
or do I need medical treatment?
People with experience said they didn’t need it, and used natural remedies to heal it.
Though I don’t know those natural remedies.
help ?
First off, talk to your parents. Secondly, a doctor might be able to help. As for natural remedies, there are many. A basic one, as simple as it seems, is to just lie in a hot tub and relax. This will free your mind. Now, there is also aromatherapy, which is becoming quite popular. Hollistic health is also an option. Lastly, just try and get out a bit, get your mind of whatever is bugging you, because clearly something is for you to have attacks like this. Live life!
I can’t afford to pay all that money for it so I am hoping that someone might be willing to share the information with me because I need help ASAP. I can’t function like this. If you know what the cure/treatment is for the Linden Method please let me know so I can hopefully get better. Thanks.
I suffer with them too. I suffered so much that I developed OCD from it. Sometimes biting on something helps me. Try to go to sleep. OR take a deep breath and let it out for 10 seconds. If you can afford see a doctor. I did.
I have them randomly. They arent brought on by any certian situation. I would prefer not to be on any type of medication for them. But I am not opposed to natural treatment. I guess Im just looking for all the answers I can get.
Please don’t listen to those other people who said beer or weed. Those won’t help at all and could even cause other problems like addiction.
There are medications available, as you know, but there are also self-help techniques that work very well. Do some research online to see what will work best for you.
I’m pregnant with my first baby (one prior miscarriage) and I am nearly 15 weeks and need some advice.
I’m really struggling with work. I want to be able to bring in money to help save more for the baby but I feel so sick and tired all the time and its getting worse. I have a heart disorder which isn’t helping.
Not only am I exhausted and nausous but symptoms of my panic anxiety disorder have been coming back due to increased work pressure. I keep having attacks recently and I’m scared to tell my husband as we gave up a lot to get me well. I worked really hard for two years to get off medication and learn way to cope with my anxiety through natural therapies (which unfortunately cannot be used during pregnancy).
I work in retail sales and although I mainly enjoy my work the store has let go of and lost a great deal of staff and isn’t going to be replacing staff to prior numbers although weekend and late night shopping traffic has remained the same. So I have to deal with a lot of abuse from customers.
I worked hard to get well to be able to get pregnant and don’t want to put my baby in danger. What would be people’s advice on what to do?
I have suffered from Anxiety Disorder for 15 years. I am 34 weeks pregnant, and had to wean myself off of Paxil as soon as I found out I was pregnant because Paxil can have bad effects on babies. As a result, I have had to deal with my anxiety without medication for the first time in years! I know where you’re coming from! Also, I didn’t have a previous heart condition, but I developed PVC’s with this pregnancy because of stress/anxiety….which made me have more anxiety……you know the drill, I’m sure! Needless to say, it interfered with my job, at home, and everywhere else in life. I finally had enough and had to make a call!
Anyway, here’s the deal. The most important things here are you and the baby’s health and well-being. Do NOT be afraid to tell your husband about what you’re going through – you should know that being paranoid about your anxiety will only bring on more. I think you should be open and honest with him first to get support and advice within your household. That’s the advice that counts, and the place that will be effected by your decisions/health. Also, you should also know that the more stress your under at work, the more anxiety it creates, and the more anxiety you have the more strain that puts on your heart….not to mention all of this effects your baby. All things considered (and I know it’s easier said than done), you should go to part-time work or quit altogether until you have your baby. That’s what I did. Yeah, it’s been tighter financially, but, it’s only temporary and my health has improved drastically and my baby is perfect so far. I know it sounds harsh, but who cares what anyone else thinks – you should take care of yourself and your baby at all costs. No paycheck is worth damage to your or your baby’s health. I’m sure your hubby will feel the same!
I have a really bad panic disorder. I feel very fatigue and sleepy all the time. I feel like i have no energy to walk because i’m too tired. Is that one of the symptoms of panic attack?? what are your symptoms??? thanks in advance..
That sounds more like depression then panic disorder. Panic attacks to some people feels like you’re literally dying. You feel panicky, heart races, you heat up, you feel really uncomfortable, some say they can’t breathe. I have panic attacks about twice a month… I’ve learned to control them so they don’t last long. For some people panic attacks can last hours, while I have learned to control to where they last abut 20 minutes. Panic attacks are a state of panic, that come on when you least expect it to. What you described sounds more like depression then panic disorder. Talk to your doctor about these symptoms.
