Panic...

why do you have bad anxiety right now?

 

well when im in panic mode , i usually look for a source to talk it out with someone and the start breathing slowly , taking deep breaths but if it's worse than normal , maybe ...getting everything off your chest can help. i need to get a stress ball in case i go into a panic state.

i have anxiety issues too. maybe you should get one. it can help

 

yeah. i got like that when i was on this new ADHD medicine , i hated it.
and that's good you have one. i need to get one. especially at school.
do you think it will help? im not sure because everyone deals with their anxiety differently.

i apologize if im being random. im trying to see different possibility's that could help but i do hope the stress ball will help

 

well yeah , that helps too haha.

i should go into therapy and should be on medication but honestly , my childhood consisted of therapist and counselors and for some reason i never told them about my sister...and what she was doing to my mom. im such an idiot. i always wonder how i never told them about what was going on. beats me

yeah , definitely....therapists and medication can help.....for me , i think i need to find the right medication to calm me down , so far it's given me a lot of negative side effects.

as for therapist, my past ...i can't go back to it.
i hope your anxiety lessens up (*hug*)
im here if you need to vent even though im 16

 

your welcome and yeah , trust ...i know exactly what you mean. i personally wouldn't trust anyone i tell my feelings to unless i've known them for a long time and know they wont tell anyone else.

and the fast acting stuff is good. you never know when your going to need it.
i can never talk to people face to face about my past or my sexual orientation because it's too difficult and i feel like they wont understand , unless they have been through the same thing i have. i like keeping things to myself sometimes but im learning , i have to open up about my past even though i hate it. i know it helps too but i'll only do if it doesn't come with a side of non stop question like counselors do

 

I'd really consider finding a therapist. Medication can work for some people. but keep in mind that the psychiatrists are about popping meds. That's it. If your triggers are people, work, etc....meds won't really help anything.

And you could easily have Panic Disorder, which means that you can have a panic attack whenever. You don't necessarily have to be worried.

 

OMG I'm on medication for anxiety and it really isn't doing much for me anymore.

 

I find that when I have panic attacks, or come close to, if I just stop thinking about things, it'll slowly go away. I know that panic attacks, well, for me, are usually triggered by constant thoughts. If I stop the thoughts, I stop the panic. I try and either just sit still and either think about nothing, or think about other things that won't be problematic. I also try and do something to let everything out, like writing, drawing, listening to music, anything to get my mind off of panicking. Though there are times where I could be just sitting down, and I get one out of nowhere, and again, if that happens, I just rest, I lay down, I relax, and I hope that I don't get too bad.

 

Hope you feel better now... I hate anxiety :/

 

Has anyone ever smoked weed for there anxiety before. Does it help?

 

That's Panic Disorder! You can't tell when it will happen. But distract yourself. Tell yourself you will be ok!!

 

I know this post was made a week ago but calm down. I have constant panic attacks and OCD. I live alone and don't have any real friends that I can talk to but here is what I do when I feel the "I feel like I just drank 3 pots of coffee, can't sit down, and my mind is racing like a VCR on fast forward."

1.Turn off all lights(that includes the computer) and sounds.
2.Go into the bathroom.
3.Get a towel.
4.No lights on.
5.Run ice cold water and then put your head under the tub faucet.
6.Make a cup of herbal or decaf tea.(Chamomile, flavored green tea, and Bigelow's peach tea are my favorites).

The cold water usually shocks me and the tea usually clears my mind. Go outside and just relax. 9 out of 10 times a neighbor I know is usually out and when we get talking(NEVER talk about panic. It just makes it worse. No offense) about random shit then I usually forget about the panic.

This may sound weird but don't go to those counseling places or the hospital for panic. All they will do is drug you up and make you feel worse in the crisis ward. Remember one thing....NOBODY EVER DIED OR WILL DIE FROM A PANIC ATTACK.

PS. Don't ever be afraid to send me a PM if you need to talk.

 

I have stress balls somewhere in my room they sometimes work but other times i listen to music and it sometimes calms me down, about 6 times out of 10
