Ok.. When I was 19 y/o I once experienced an anxiety attack while on the way to the airport, and not knowing what it was I thought I was having a heart attack but I was just about to get on a plane, I did not, instead I went to the ER. They told me I had an anxiety attack and gave me something for the time being. Now, everytime that I go to an airport, or even get on a plane, I get the worst panic attack, I try to avoid it and sometimes it’ll go away but sometimes it won’t. I’m flying on Wed with my babies, 8 hr flight and all I worry is about this. I don’t want to take any meds bc I don’t regularly get them, only when I fly. Is there something I can try that can relieve me from even the thought of it? I just fear the "being trapped in a plane on the air" part, and if I get sick of something there’s no going back, dumb feeling I know! I’m scared of having one bc I won’t even be flying with my husband, just me and the kids and I fear the unexpected!

Would appreciate some advise:)

I have, especially during the last few years do to life happenings, become a VERY anxious person, at times depressed. I was taking Lexapro for a year or so but stopped because I went through a phase where I just did NOT want to medicate. I, however, just went to my college football game and had an anxiety attack, sweating, heart racing, throat closing, panicky feeling. This has happened several times but now its getting in the way of my life, anxiety all the time. Does anyone know of some good medications I could talk to my doctor about, good natural or herbal cures, meditation/self hypnosis or relaxation tips, and foods with nutrients that can ease anxiety? I’d love reviews of personal experiences too. I don’t want to take medicine again but I’m willing, so let me know your best and worst experiences. Also, if anyone knows anything about St. Johns Wort danger/effectiveness, include it here.

I’ve had anxiety issues for years now. Everytime I get upset, I have a panic or anxiety attack. It’s getting to the point where I can’t control them and they happen more frequently. My boyfriend is unsure of what to do when the happen and they usually happen when he’s with me. I don’t know how to control it or make it better. It’s interfering with my everyday life and I can’t concentrate at school. Somebody help me please

I have all the symptoms of a panic attack or anxiety attack but I’ve never had them all at the same time I’ve had them all in the last week or so, I’ve had heart palpitations for months now and hot flashes and chills and random sweating for like a week.

I’ve had Generalized Anxiety for some time. Recently, I’ve been stressed out about certain things in my life, and I ended up having horrible diarrhea for a week straight (lost 7lbs.!). Now, I have a horrible pain between my shoulder and my neck which feels better if I calm down, but every time I think something may be physically wrong with me, it goes right back to hurting again. Is there any way to take care of this issue without medication? My therapist is NOT good, so I’m changing counselors next week…but for right now, I don’t know what to do. Does anyone know how to stop an anxiety attack in progress? Do these sound like anxiety attacks to you?

I feel like I’ve just ran a marathon, I feel drained, I feel like my heads are quite literally in the clouds(like I’m in a dream-like state), I feel tired now… Did I just go through a panic attack or just the aftermath of a moderate anxiety attack?

I have anxiety, I have panic attacks…and I don’t think I can do this anymore. I need to talk to somebody, and I want somebody to give me some words of encouragment. I don’t know what could be triggering these anxiety attacks…but here is some information…

When did this start?
The anxiety has been going on for about two months, but I have just shrugged it off and moved on. Now it is far worse and sometimes I will just lay awake one morning shaking.
How often does it happen?
Now it has been happening for three days straight, no stopping. The big attacks happen around noon when I am by myself.
Is there something that triggers this?
Nothing that I know of for sure. The last thing that triggered an anxiety attack was somebody mentioning a doctor on one of my questions. I don’t wish to go see a doctor, I am not in pain, I just have some little problems.
How long does it last?
Once it starts it continues for about two hours…or until I go to sleep.

(continued)
I am thirteen, female…

I get anxiety attacks at night after coming home from social situations. I don’t understand it because I use to work at a bar and go out all the time. Now I feel like I don’t want to go out at night because I know I will have an anxiety attack. My doc tried to put me on Zoloft but I’m not going to take it. I’ve tried xanax but it doesn’t work. My attacks will last for a good hour. I’m going to see a therapist.

Any advice?

Anyone else have experience with this?
