Anxiety help
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello,
I'm 18 years old. About few months ago around August I had a panic attack out of the blue I woke up and I felt as if I couldn't breath and I felt dizzy and blacked out. I called the ambulance who then assured me it was noting.
Since then I never felt better again. I went to every doctor they all told me It was anxiety
I have shortness of breath really bad i get really worried right now my throat is so sore and I'm assuming it's also making it worse ??
I used to have tightness on my chest but that went once I dealt with my panic attacks. I worry a it and I'm always googling my symptoms thinking of the worse. I keep thinking is an allergy or something and I get really worried. Sometimes I get nausea headaches ... Palpitations are on everyday
I can't deal with this anymore I'm so stressed, scared etc.
I've been stressed lately due to university and family. I've been taking herbs remedies .. Any help!!

Can you think about the past few months. Have you been under a lot of pressure?
Have been worrying too much over something? Or are you soffering from OCD?
All these can cause the symptoms you mention. I have been suffering from them for year now and it all started out with a blackout moment.
Hope you get better soon
Try to stay out of stressing situations as much as possible, and dont take medications if you can/
Cheers

I did see a counsellor once it helped a bit I'm still going which I hope ends up helping me.
I feel like I can't even control my breath anymore I don't take pills because the side effects are too much I think praying has helped me and some of the naturals remedies.
I just kee thinking is something serious and I get depressed and more stressed.
Writing this I can't even catch my breath I have a sore throat and it just stresses me out
But thank you so much for the reply xx

I'm scared to take medication because of the side effects , I haven't had panic attacks in a long time now it's just the shortness of breath and some dizziness sometimes. And very sore muscles. I hope it goes soon, I want to carry on studying!
Hope you're feeling better too. Did you do anything to help you with the anxiety apart from medication xx

Its up to you at the end of the day, do try and do it alone, but please dont leave it too long, especially if it gets worse.
All the best xx

I had my first panic attack the first day of my senior year going back to college. I was in athletics and wasn't ready for the stress of school, looking for a career, and getting ready for my senior season. I cracked under the pressure and immediately felt the consequences both physically and mentally.
I would suggest talking to a counsellor and seeing if that helps, they also teach you some good techniques for controlling it. Now I'm not saying that they will make your anxiety go away, but it will definitely help. If you find that your symptoms are STILL to much to handle on a daily basis I would definitely talk to whoever you see about getting in medicine.
Anxiety can be a scary feeling, but with proper technique and possibly the aid of medication you can gain control of your life again.
I'm still in the process of figuring out my own anxiety, so message me if you want any further advice.

Medication in my case was and still is a lifesaver. Life will always at times present stressful situations so attempting to avoid them will not work. You will need to find coping mechanisms to help you through these difficult times, whether it be therapy etc,,.
Find what works for you. I know of many people who have consulted their GP, prescribed medication and just stuck it their top draw. The problem in all cases just got worse. Good Luck.
