I have suffered from anxiety attacks for over a decade now and I am on a variety of meds for it. I still have attacks and I wish I could lessen their impact. When I try to meditate or physically relax, I actually get worse. My symptoms start out as very physical and then spread to uncontrollable mind racing, etc.

I have social anxiety and I want to get treatment but the problem is that I can’t. I have tried to before but I didn’t go to a specialist and so that didn’t work out well, but my insurance won’t pay for a specialist. I am 20 years old and I have never had a job because of this SA, and I am trying to live without therapy and meds but I can’t figure out how to get a job or get involved in anything and I feel so lost.

Any advice?

I have anxiety attacks and sometimes have to go to the hospital for stroke like symptoms.. numbness, tunnel vision, black outs, cold/hot sweat, weakness etc. I finally figured out that it was my anxiety. but the last time it happened I was on bipolar meds and my hubby rushed me to the er because he said my lips were blue. it’s pretty scary. can I die from this if I didn’t have meds for it?

Why is panic disorder such an epidemic?

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 09:46:12 +0000

I have heard everything from you are born with it to because you have sinned too much to its from processed foods to its from the hormones in the milk! Why is it so common! If you are going to tell me that it isnt a real disorder, I will beg to differ with you! If you have some helpful info, then I would be greatly appreciative. Has anyone here suffered extreme dibilitating panic, been on meds, and successing found a way to come off? I’m sorry there are sooo many unanswered Q’s here.
Nicole,
Yes I am suffering from panic attacks. Its been close to 4 yrs since the first debilitating one, and they still sneak up quite often. I take 12.5 mg Paxil daily, and am considering Xanax for those debilitating attacks. I believe that my attacks surfaced due to the amount of stress I was under. I was 20 y/o, married w/ a stepson, and just gave birth to my second son, (3 sons total- at that time). My baby was very ill, and was deaf. We were getting ready for him to have cranial surgery. I was very weak from a traumatic birth,(he was born in the car during a thunder storm), and was having to travel 300 miles to the childrens hospital frequently. I lost my pregnancy weight in about 3 weeks. Then the attacks hit me hard. It was a nightmare! I deal with them very well now, but the trembling is unbearable! Thank all of you who have taken the time to leave an answer.

I have been having anxiety attacks lately due to the stress from school. I am studying engineering, and there is really no way I can lighten the work load (the cause of the stress). I really have no time to meditate or exercise because I am always doing homework. Is there any other quick way (besides meds) to help deal with this?
