Im 16, I was raped last year.
when I am near a man… family… friend… or just random men i get this feeling like they all want me, like they are all looking at my butt or my breast. I have constant panic attacks at night i sometimes feel like i cant breathe and i start gasping for air. I start listeng to my self inhale and exhale and when i start to doze off and i cant hear myself breathe anymore i start to panic again. When i get in this panic i think about not waking up and It drives me into a bigger panic. Its just never ending. Mostly when everyone is asleep. Than what was just a thought turns into a searious problem and my heartbeat increases and i start sweating.

The first time, i thought i was going to die. I was crying and running in a circle panting, getting dizzy and throwing up. I was screaming for somone to help me and I had no idea what was going on. but i knew why. I was screaming saying things without knowing i was saying them. but the screaming has stopped. the panic attacks are my problem now. Can anyone help?
I have just moved to a new state so i dont have friends yet and my medical isn’t covered here yet

I don’t want anything I’d need a prescription for, just something to stop a panic attack when it happens.
Okay, what I really want is someone’s experience. I looked online, too. Statistics and dosage are nice, but I’d rather someone tell me they used something and it worked.

I have been experiencing bad anxiety lately. I feel like I can’t drive or travel because I think I will stop breathing or pass out. I used to be fine. Get on a plane or go on a road trip, no problem. I am now making excuses to why I cannot go places. I am missing appointments with clients. It is getting bad. I have had panic/anxiety for about 18 months. It just recently got worse in the past 5-6 months though. Anyone have this experience? If so, what did you do to stop these problems? Any books or programs that worked for you? Something besides meds? I don’t want to miss out on anymore than I feel I already have.

*I am female
*24 years old
*California
*I don’t have medical insurance at the moment

I have horrible panic attacks when I fly, bad enough to where I don’t want to fly anymore. I have to fly very soon and my doctor prescribed me to lorazepam (ativan) specifically for traveling and said it would work. I was just wondering if anyone knew how effective this drug is and if it will work in my situation. Thanks.

I have been having really bad panic attacks for the past two weeks and I was taking xanax for about a week and then I visited my doctor today and now I am taking atenolol once a day in the morning and elavil before bedtime. I just want some advice from someone else to make sure that my doctor knows what he is doing, will taking these two drugs make me get rid of my panic attacks? I have being feeling awful lately and panic attacks are horrible for anyone who has not experienced them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

justin asked:


I am suffering from severe anxiety and I dont know what to do. Every second of my life I feel as if someone is watching me. I am constantly thinking all the time, whether it be what people are thinking of me, or just general stuff. I get severe headaches everyday. It feels like I never get enough sleep. I have two to three panic attacks every week. I start to shake and then i breathe heavy and then my heart beats so fast that my body stops breathing for about a minute or so. My hands and extremities become numb. After my panic attack I have trouble trying to speak and walk for about two minutes. I know I have a problem but I do not want to be put on meds. Is there any natural way to get rid of this problem? What should I do?

I have tried breathing in and out slowly when I feel one coming but it just doesn’t seem to work. When I am having one I sweat really bad, it seems like everyone around me gets louder, and the lights seem to get brighter. It is almost impossible to get over them. The major problem with this issue is that they happen only in school so I haven’t been going to school lately because I’m afraid of having one. I can’t see my docor until Thursday what do I do? I haven’t been at school since last week. I am getting really behind on my school work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get through a school day with these attacks?
