Serious anxiety attacks everyday and can't fight anymore

Hi Emma first off you not alone iv only been on here a day and already feel better reading what other people are going through and some if the advise giving on here is very helpful anxiety is a horrible thing and I also feel the people around me don't understand and are prob sick of hearing about sometimes I wish they could spend a day in my shoes to understand but there are things iv found that do help iv found some meditation vids online that iv found helpful also I few people on here have spoke about headspace app exercise and eating better

You are not alone and it is so exhausting at times. Are you on any meds? Maybe a good idea and then learn cbt so when you wean off the meds you have tools to get this under control. Im wondering if you have seen a gastroenterologist some of the symptoms you noted i have had and i have bad reflux, esophogitis and have had gut yeast that refluxed and needed diflucan to kill the yeast. Yeast btw causes anxiety attacks as well. A good probiotic is a great idea until you see the gastroenterologist doc. Even if its anxiety it can wreck your gut and be a viscious cycle. Anxiety attacks do not kill you but they absolutely can cause health issues as the years go by. You absolutely need to learn and embrace cbt and great idea to learn mindful breathing. I have been living with this for over twenty years so i speak from experience.you will learn that when you accept the bodies reaction to panic and almost observe the reactions without allowing the mind to fear them they absolutely calm themselves down, but cbt teaches you more and how to do that. Good luck and dont be so hard on yourself.

Oh Emma, I really feel for you! 

You are definitely not alone - but I do think you need more help that this forum on its own can provide. (Though it's a great tool). 

If you are feeling suicidal you really need to seek help from your doctor and tell them exactly how you feel. (Also, is there anyone that you trust that you can talk to about all this, as having someone physically there to help and support you will really help. 

Believe me when I say that you are much stronger than you think you are - posting on here to strangers says a lot about that - you feel awful, but you want to get help - not give up.

You do not need to do this on your own, but you may find that your doctor thinks it good to go on meds. I have fought this in the past, but they do have a place in the recovery, as they can help you see more logically and clearly, which in turn helps you deal with your other issues as well. 

Also (I don't mean to put words in your mouth - but this is how I felt),,,, please never feel like you are mad. I was terrified of seeking advice and help for years, as I was terrified people would think me mad and just put me away in an asylum or something. But that wasn't the case. 

Mental illness is a very complicated thing and the professionals are there to help you. 

 

Please also be honest with them. It will take a lot out of you, but remember that they can't help you effectively if you aren't honest with them. (Remember that they can't feel what you are feeling, they have to interpret from what you tell them). So tell it like it is, don't down-play it as it'll only mean you take longer to recover. And believe me, you WILL recover. 

Take care.  

I currently have the exact same symptoms, Ive tred 8 different meds and self medicated through alcohol. I  am debating between a psychiatrist or internal medicicne any suggestions?
