I have a friend who every year around tax time has panic attacks. She never owes any money and always gets money back. But for some reason she always has panic attacks around tax time with head aches. Does anybody else have this problem? Is it normal? Does anybody know anybody else that deals with this?

I am seventeen and currently in high school. I have social anxiety and have frequent panic attacks. I need to have coping methods in place so I do not fully rely on my medicine which is currently not having any effect anyway. I am aware that what helps people with anxiety is different for everyone, but I would like some ideas of coping methods if possible. I am trying to collect a list of them to try next time I have a panic attacks to find out what works and such.

Okay so I get frequent panic attacks/anxiety attacks and I find sometimes, that if they’re mild, I can talk myself out of it. Has anyone ever managed their anxiety and panic by self talk or reassurance? Does it really help?

I have been suffering from panic attacks for the past 8 years. Literally ruining my life. Whilst I have tried medication and it had helped me a lot, like big time, it unfortunately makes me very sleepy, and therefore not being able to work properly due to fatigue. Breathing therapy has never worked on me.

I have a friend who has panic attacks if she is in unfamiliar territory or sometimes when she is driving (especially in traffic or busy highways). How can I support her? What things can I say?

Hello. My best friend gets quite a bit of panic attacks but is not crazy about taking medication, and would rather see if there are some natural or physiological remedies to treat it before she considers. Please help! Thanks for any helpful answers.

I have an intense fear of rollar coasters! When someone mentions them, I get clammy and nauseous and they MUST stop talking about them! At the end of my 8th grade year (this year), we got on a school trip to Hershey Park. I want to go to get over my fear, but I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A SERIOUS PANIC ATTACK! What are they really like though, panic attacks?
Ok, I am NOT looking for a way to get over my fear. Jsyk.

How do you know that you are having a panic attack? For the last month and a half I have been having dizzy spells and feeling sick to my stomach. The spells would last between 15 to 30 mins. After the spells I would feel really tired and feel tense all over becuase I don’t know when they will come on again. I have had blood work done and next friday I will have and echo done. I have scheduled an appointment with a heart specialist. I will see my doctor on sat July 28 2007 to find out the test results. If I am having a panic attacks is there and kind of medication that I can take to help stop having theses attacks?

I have agoraphobia and it has really been rough for me. I can’t ever leave my house without having panic attacks. Sometimes, I even get them while I am at my house. It makes my life so miserable. I can’t even get a job or go out anywhere with my girlfriend because of my agoraphobia. I am on Prozac and Lithium for it but it doesn’t seem to help. Please give me some advise!!!

I have chronic generalized anxiety & also social anxiety, sometimes panic attacks. I’m constantly tense, in a blank frame of mind & disconnected from my feelings/emotions. I’ve even been diagnosed as schizophrenic since I suffer from some of the symptoms of it.

I’m already seeing a therapist & I’m under the care of psychiatrist and the progress is really, really slow. I’m wondering if there’s any way I can speed up my recovery. Any tips are appreciated!

Thanks

I get anxious now due to some panic attacks I’ve been having. My first attack was really scary, got dizzy and felt like things werent real if that makes sense.

Anxiety often brings me all the usual symptoms, izziness, heart speeding up, sweating etc but my attacks when they do happen always involve a feeling of dizziness and disorientation. I’ve found that if I mentally focus on what I’m going through the attack will subside and I’ve not had an attack as severe as the orginal since.

People say they come out of the blue or are a result of an underlying worry but I can’t identify this. I’ve had a few health worries leading directly to the first attack and i’ve been unhapy in my job for some time.

Three months ago I was fine and now I live in fear (anxiety) of another coming when I can’t control it, such as driving the car etc. My doctor gave me some Fluoxetine to calm my anxiety which has varying success.

Can anybody sympathise with this and help me dela with this?
