Anxiety & Panic Disorder – My Struggle

I know the feeling! I have had it all my life, especially the last 8 years. I have attacks that last hours on end and totally drain me of all my energy. I have seen every doctor in Ga. it seems. Thought I was having a stroke, heart attack, lung disease, blood clots. I basically have Death Anxiety………..I have thought of buying the Linden Method. But I am unsure of that………….God bless bro!

@kreapalocc iv been diagnosed with anxiety iv been having trouble breathing…i almost feel i am having sum kind of lung disease…! and it simply wont go away….and it gets worse when i have lunch or breakfast…it feels as is i wont be able to breath normally again… so in short it is strongly linked to food as well…when im totally full i experience breathlessness and on the other hand when my stomach is totally empty i feel this problem bothering me… and plus my palpitationz r awful

i totally agree with the person under me,i have them when im stressed,afterwards i take a nap..ughhh guys this sucks

Its crazy how anxiety can trick people into itself, and then take over our lives. To say it will never go away isnt worth saying. Anxiety is as bad as you believe and think it is. So the key is to lessen its power, and put it off as smaller than it wants you to believe it is.
For myself, it is very hard to keep the right attitude towards it. But i must continue to live, and choose how i live. The moment i think of how out of control ive been, i think of how i deserve to be in control, its like

i know exactly wat u meen man its somthing im going thro too right now im medicated and just that alone changed everything for me… but everything that u said sounds exactly like wat happened to me its crazy

@Kreapalocc all the time.

I UNDERSATAND HOW U FEEL I SUFFER FROM BOTH PANIC AND ANXEITY ATTACKS NO ONE CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR LIFE UNLESS THEY HAVE FELT IT THE PAIN AND FEAR YOU FEEL IS LIKE NONE OTHER I HAVE EVER FELT IN MY LIFE I FEEL YOUR PAIN

any one have trouble breathing with anxiety

Kinda sound like me, how are you now?

its just not though, i havent had a panick in a couple of days which is good for me and last night i had real bad ones and today i just feel all down and fed up :/ its really not a joke. i dont think they can understand until they suffer themselves.

@amyintoxicatedox i know every one think is so easy to just relax from a panic attack or like is just a joke.

@itsmeEstefania me too! if you ever need a chat im here.. i feel like not many people understand my panick attacks x

@julesequalsloveTV i know yeah, if you ever need a talk im here, even though you dont even know me, keep fighting if you have it too im guessing? x

@8cameltoes same for me x

I started with severe anxiety about a yr ago and find it difficult to cope in situations such as, going to the store, bumping into people i know in the street, meeting new people or even walking in the street. It really has taken over my life. I no longer can work because of it. Sometimes i can't leave the house esp if i'm walking. All because i have the same symptoms that you're having.
Have you found a way to deal with it? What medication are you taking for it?

for me it's stomach pain, but in the same way your scalp tingle happens… this really sucks for us all…. keep fighting brother

@julesequalsloveTV Listen to me. Go buy DONT PANIC by Dr Reid Wilson.

I was able to overcome the dizziness, by breathing deeply , I had to actually force myself by just saying, it's anxiety, take a deep breath you are not dizzy. The dizziness magically went away, I'm still experiencing the pains, and rapid heart beats though!

i believe u can clear it up….. uve got to go into ur own feelings and unerstand them urself and it clears, also, it then opens ur intuition so its like a blessing in duiscuise lol

I have had it for 30 years. L theanine has worked wonders…Amino acid..Also exposure therapy..keep going to places that scare you..Bless

Well me and a few friends were smokin weed,like, I was smokin it heavily at that time,almost everyday, but this one night we were smokin, and then all of a sudden my heart started racing,Nothin seemed real,like,everything was a dream,and I had this really weird tingling sensation and my breathing was really heavy, it felt like I had no control over myself,and I was really panicing. Since then I still havent felt completly normal, I cant concentrate at all and my heart races alot…

Ha, wow, kinda discouraging seeing all the comments: "it never goes away.." I've been seeing doctors nonstop, thinking there's got to be something that will work. I feel so prohibited from doing anything that means something to me in life. Totally disheartened to learn that it will prob never go away. Let's fight this.

@CerunnosTheHornedGod EXACTLY what happened to me. Last September. Tell me more about what happened to you/your reaction. Were you on any meds at the time? It sucks. The only thing I truly regret in life is that night.. if only I had known that this could happen. Something has to be done– research, prevention. Nobody should have to deal with this crap.

i get panics attacks too, and i want to fight it back too!! thanks for the blogs is nice to know that we are not alone

6 Long years my friend, I have been battling the same! I too have slid my way into CT Scans, MRIs, Timed Enzyme Tests, ECG's EKG,s Table tilt tests, and I am one of the luck few that actually does pass out! Vaso Vagal has come up a time or two but the bottom line for me is holy crap I guess I'm not 18 anymore! I know what's going on in your head and I know how real it feels! Those who do not know! The tingling sensations, night sweats, the am I going to die feelings. Are as REAL as fear itself!

full of shit,paxil helps me and I'm a pro athlete with panic
