I think I have only had maybe one or two real panic attacks...Shaking dizzy, weird thought about death, heart beating hard like I am about to have a heart attack that very minute or die in a car crash or something like that. Other than that I usually just have constant worry, stress and anxiety and depression, over these same issues but it doesn't seem as urgent. When I am stressed out or anxious about something I usually get to a point where I just have to sit and have a good cry....That's just me....

Dont Worry
Posted: 07-13-05 03:02am

Chicky

you really dont have anything to worry about I remember the first time I had a panic attack I thought that I was going to die. My anxirty got so bad that I got to the point where I didnt even want to eat anymore cause I was scared that I was going to choke or some stupid thing and it really didnt help much that I was recently in an accident and my stepfather was killed
i was the only sober one in the vehicle and remembered everything. But anyway dont let your anxiety get the better of you whenever you start to even get anxious just take deep breathes in and out and and do some mind reading like tell yourself that you are in a safe place and everything is going to be ok. And it helps if you get your mind off of whats bothering you orand talk to a friend every once and a while about your problems

I think that many people dont really kno what anxiety attacks are, I am only 17 I have never been subscribed any medicine, but when I went to the hospital and found out my mother might possibly die I got very hot and shaky and tightend up, anxiety is a feeling you have inside of you also like panic, it is the way you feel about or around something, I have lived around this for 6 years and still going, but now since my mom has been taking off her medicince she doesnt have her anxiety/panic attacks anymore, but still has a lot of stress and depression

I am in commerical properties n I also manage apartment complexes, well this one day I was in my office, serving my three dy ntoices and this young woman comes in and says I haven't been able to reach my mother and i'm really worried, and normally we couldn't just let her in, for all I know she should of been lieing about who she was. Anyway the reason why I went to check the tenant was I had a three day notice to pay her rent in my hand, and she was normally on time. So we went to her aprtment I opened up the dorr, and well shes been there for 3 weeks, so can you imagine the panic attacks i've been having, I haven't had a good night sleep since, and that happened 4 months ago, help!!!!

What Should I Do
Posted: 12-07-05 19:26pm

I work in commerical properties and property managment. Well this one day I was perparing my three day notices and I had this woman come in and said to me that she hasn't seen or talk to her mother in about 30 days, and shes really concerned. Well I would of been too. And I had a three day notice for this tenant on my desk which made me a little more nervious. I used to see her and say good morning to her everyday. Well I grab her key and her daughter and I go to her apartment to see whats been going on. Well when we opened the door she was on the floor and has been for about 3 weeks, so you can imagine. It was the most scariest thing I had ever had to see and deal with. I have been having panic attacks, and in and out of the doctors since, thinking about having a heart attack, feeling pains and pressure on the back of my head, very dizzy, thinking about strokes, I don't know what to do as of right now. Please does anyone has any ideas?

The dizzy and whatever else you said is a panic/anxiety attack, they normally come when you are scared or have been scared or hurt in life which explains it for you...But the most you can do is talk to someone about how you feel about it

panic attack = panic disorder = anxiety ??

Anxiety can be defined as a general feeling of worry or fear of certain situation. It also could be a sudden attack of panicky feelings on top of what is happening or passed.

When you’re not finish something that you should have been done. You’ll get into feeling of anxiety, where feeling of worry emerge in your mind, your heart races and short of breathe that makes you feeling like you’re going to choke.

Depends on the way of handling, anxiety could give you motivation and energy to get things done. However, majority of people can’t get the right way which may finally disrupt your life.

When one people suffering ongoing worry or fear about something that isn’t related to a particular event or situation, or feeling anxiety at all the time for no reason, this is called generalized anxiety disorder.

Panic attack is an episode of intense terror or fear which strike suddenly and without warning. In the other words, panic attack happens when an “alarm system” within our body has detected an event of danger.

Suppose one day you’re getting into the bathroom to take your shower. Suddenly, your chest feels tight, you heart races, and you feel like no oxygen in the air where you probably will die of suffocation. Then you feel lightheaded and your body collapse to the ground.

This event isn’t caused by haunting or whatever, and most likely you had a panic attack. As what i’ve been mentioned, every human has an “alarm system” planted within our body. This system measures the level of stress, depression, mentally or physically tiredness.

When the level is saturated which means the system detected something danger has happened, the “alarm system” will trigger some parts of our body to react from this danger event.

You notice those physical sensations that the body is producing, such as a rapid heartbeat, muscle tense and shaky hand. Then you become afraid of them and unconsciously instruct the body to protect you. The body begins to change its chemistry in order to guard against the emergency.

Yet, since this is not a true physical crisis, you can't properly use the body's power effectively. You notice an increase in physical symptoms instead. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle during the panic attack.

It is important to note that if you have experienced a panic attack, this does not necessarily mean that you have or will develop panic disorder. Many people have experienced singular attacks without recurrence, and do not have panic disorder.

Panic disorder is typically diagnosed in individuals who experience repeated panic attacks, or persistent fear of future panic attacks. The condition is treatable and it is very important that you speak with your trusted people like doctor, friends or partner if you are experiencing symptoms in order to receive an accurate diagnosis.

Left untreated, panic disorder will most likely have a disabling effect on your well-being as well as negative consequences on your social and professional relationships.

The mind is the limit

They used to call it nerves, now it is stress but lets face it, just like nerves, we all he them and we all pretty much have stress to me it is sometimes brought on from something in the past, I have seen that happen a lot! I am not a dr but I have seen times where .E.M.D.R. Has helped a lot of people especially if it is brought on from something from the past, it is normally done by a psychologist so their is no extra medication given and is done either by knee tapping or finger movement and it brings out the negative time in your life and you are takn back to that time and given relief of it, it has helped people with phobias, people with post war syndrome and other situations.
Their are times when medication is given to certain people.
Some people are helped by eft.
Some are helped with support groups, psychiatrists. The main thing is is that you try to get help. T does not mean that you are crazy, it just means that you need a little help and we all need that sometimes in our lives.
The best to all!
