How can I stop anxiety attacks?




Three years ago I took medicine for my anxiety. I stopped taking it, and starting this year it got really bad. Its never been this bad before. I’m going back on the medicine, but my appointment isn’t until next monday. I don’t think I can get through this week. I’m so scared and that’s making it so much worse. Taking deep breathes doesn’t seem to help at all. Distracting myself only increases the time it takes for an anxiety attack to get really bad. What can I do to stop it for one more week?

If you have an anxiety attack and you have a prescription for an anti-anxiety medication (as needed), is it best to try to tough it out without the medication, or is it best to take medication?

For example dreaming that your roof is going to fall on you and then suddenly waking up and having an anxiety attack stressing that it’s is going to happen to you.

I’ve only had my current doctor for a few years. Occasionally I’ve been known to have an anxiety attack, but it has never been enough of an issue to discuss it with my doctor. She recently prescribed Adderall for adult ADD and I’m concerned because I just learned its an amphetamine.

I know arachnophobia is normal, but I get a full on anxiety attack (hyperventilating, shaking, crying hysterically, etc.) that is quite severe and after it is over, I feel nauseous, I have a headache, and I am sore all over my body. All this from a spider. Is it normal?

I am a 15 year old female and I have depression and OCD as well, if it matters.

Okay, allow me to introduce myself.

I’m a fifteen year old girl who weighs 250lbs. I know, I’m fat. Let’s get past that part. Now, what the real problem is what’s been going on inside my head lately.

I’ve been having extremely vivid thoughts of suicide - almost like visions or daydreams. I have over a hundred different possible ways of how to go through with it. I’ve had thoughts like these since I was very, very young, but they’ve been getting worse.

Next, my anxiety attack numbers have been rising. I have Asperger’s Syndrome, (Google it if you don’t know what it is - I don’t feel like explaining right now), Schizophrenia, and I do have Manic Depression, AKA Bipolar. So, when I see or hear things, I get these anxiety/panic attacks where I often just start screaming and crying and all that mess. This happens at least once a day on a significant level.

I’ve also been having horrible dreams. Last night I had a nightmare that I was stabbed to death; the night before I was hit by a truck in my dream; and the night before that I dreamed I committed suicide by a gun.

I’m on several medications for my conditions; Geodon (I think that’s how it’s spelled), Zoloft, Synthroid, Vitamin D pills. Plus a few more I can’t remember…

All right. Thank you anyone who answers. It’s appreciated.

I went to the doctor’s office today to get some new anxiety meds. I wound-up with a doctor who was a complete dick, who prescribed me these meds with little details. So have any of you used Clonazepam and would you say it works well while having a panic or anxiety attack? And would you recommend it.

feed back is very appreciated! thx:)

I am not sure but:
When i have an anxiety attack i start trembling
When I have a panic attack i feel like i am going to die.

Is there any difference or are they both the same?

I am so sick and tired of living in fear that I will have a panic/anxiety attack. Does anyone else feel this way? I mean I am so terrified to go the store, I usually pull in there and then back out and drive right back home. I am so terrified that it will happen again. My chest has been hurting me really bad lately, I don’t know if its just sore from so much stress and anxiety or what?!?!? I have tried meds, they just make me feel crazy! I was working with a therapist, and things were going okay, until he tried to convince me of false feelings and thoughts, but that is besides the point. I feel so alone, none of my friends are going through what I am and they don’t understand. Most of them are mad at me for not wanting to go anywhere, but I honestly just do not "feel" like it, I don’t want to really leave my house, I am not completely stuck in my house, I am just keep getting scared of this, any suggestions, tips, advice would be appreciated! THANK YOU!

Sometimes if I’m inside and I’m having a panic attack, I’ll go outside and all the sudden the panic attack will just disappear. I figured this out because one time I was at my cousin’s house and I was having an anxiety attack and things got pretty insane and she told me to go outside because she thought I was going to throw up. But I the minute I walked out the door it was like a weight off my shoulders. Why is this?

13 Years old Stress?Anxiety?Depression?




I recently have been on this site for quite some time asking and I moved say maybe 21/2 years ago and I got so stressed and depressed from the move. My best friends all moved also I don’t talk to them a lot anymore. About a year ago I suffered from an anxiety attack at a dinner table it was horrible followed by a week of depression. I believe it has to do with stress related anxiety. Its weird because I’m nearly always fine in the summer but something always happens in the winter. This winter was the winter of hell. Me and my friend got into a fight after being together everyday she’s a girl and im a boy. We don’t talk as much now. Okay ive experienced mostly all anxiety symptoms including stress. Im worrying constantly about brain tumors now and before it was all the other serious diseases and ive never worried about this before. I get headaches but there like nothing at all. I keep getting these weird feeling in my head that last about 4 seconds there horrible it feels like someone’s squeezing my brain in but they go away followed by pressure from the amount of anxiety. Ive been getting tension headaches followed by no Nausea at all, no fever, no vomiting!!! I CANT STOP WORRING!! Ive been to the doctors already they told me that its allergies and my age???I don’t see anyone else in my school accept for like 2 ppl that have anxiety..What is this
Okay i will talk to my parents. It is becoming a serious problem.

At what point should I be worried about my heart rate being to high? Yesterday it got up to 167 bpm when I had an anxiety attack. Is that to high?

I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember. I used to have anxiety attacks as a juvenile, with a " lump in the throat and I’m going to swallow it and choke to death " feeling and my hands would get sweaty and I would lie awake in bed, scared to death from days, sometimes even weeks on in. I’m 25 now and I’ve recently been having them but they’re not too bad, however, today I was at work and encountered the worst anxiety attack I’ve ever had in my entire life. I was having a good day, nothing going wrong then all of sudden I left my office and my chest began to tighten. I started panicing and my heart rate increased drasticly and I began to shake uncontrolabley. I started thinking I was going to sufficate to death. It felt like I had someone sitting on my chest and I couldn’t expand it enough to get a full breath. I sat down and it began to slow down. An hour later, I thought it was over and I began to drive home from work. I was talking to a girlfriend on the phone and I literally hung up on her in mid conversation because it started again. I pulled over to the side of the road from the highway and started flipping out again. My chest tightened, I was having trouble breathing, I started to shake and and I felt really light headed. It honestly scared me. I’m afraid to go to sleep now. I’ve never expirineced a panic attack this bad before. Is this normal? a friend told me, some panic attacks are worse then others. I feel like I’m losing my mind.
