I’ve always had bad panic attacks sometimes, but I got in a pretty bad car wreck last week and they’ve gotten worse and more frequent. My hands are shaky, my breathing is heavy, and I can feel my heart pounding. Then I start feeling dizzy, worried, etc…Is this just panic caused by my wreck? And if so, how long will it last this bad? Could it be something else, or is it all in my head?

Anxiety natural treatment?




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.

Anxiety???




Can anxiety or depression make you have thoughts of not being with the person you love?? I have been with this guy for 2 years and we use to be so happy and we still are happy but, I have feelings of being ill with him or not wanting to be around him sometimes, caould this be a problem caused be anxiety or depression? Or could it be the fact the we have just been together so long that the new has worn off and we are just content with each other? My mother asys she thinks it alittle of both that i have anxiety and that the new has worn off and the feeling of being all happy when we see each other has faded, and that maybe i thought the happy feelings would always be there and I have not learned how to accept that change of feelings from happy to content. I am so afraid that this all going to narrow down to us not being together anymore and it breaks my heart and makes me cry when I think of not being with him I would rather die!!

I have been taking Lexapro for two years and I just had my baby four weeks ago. She is precious and I love her with all my heart. The problem is, I cry all of the time and feel so overwhelmed..I feel I am an emotional wreck! My question is, shouldn’t the lexapro have prevented me from experiencing postpartum depression this time? It helped me overcome PPD after my last pregnancy and I was thinking it would prevent me from having the condition this time. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

What can I do about chronic panic attacks?




Lately I’ve been having debilitating panic attacks. I’m on a load of medications for bipolar and generalized anxiety disorder, but none of them seem to be working when it comes to the panic attacks. If I even think about something that is bothering me, my heart starts pounding and I feel like I can’t breathe.

What should I do?

How do I deal with my partners anxiety attacks?




I don’t know what to do when my partner starts to have anxiety attacks. Just like him I feel helpless and I get angry. When he says he’s scared, feeling like his heart is fluttering I don’t know what to say or do except hold him and say it’s going to be ok. Sometimes it gets irritating and I want to leave. How do I deal with his sudden changes in behavior?
