Hello everyone, I am a single mom , and this is a first for me. I have a difficult time opening up. I don’t like to burned people with my problem’s.

For the past 4-5months I have been experiencing Panic attacks at least 3 times a day almost everyday. I recently started to feel depressed.

I don’t want to be put on Medication. What should I do?

Well I would try and talk to a counselor and this way at least you can learn some coping skills and have someone to trust. Yes, it will be difficult opening up but once you do, you will feel a whole lot better. You never know until you try.

I’m sorry to hear about your panic attacks. First off don’t feel like your burdening people with your problems, if you talk to someone you genuinely trust in all aspects. People need to release everything!!! Emotions, tears, laughter,etc

It’s healthy.

Your panic attacks may have been brought on by you suppressing something that you should be releasing. I suggest you reflect and see if you can figure out what that something is, then seek out assistance with coping. You have control over whether you take medication or not. You don’t want ....you know the rest.

When you’re reflecting be sure to be honest with yourself, after all, no one else is in your head to know or hear.

I wish you well!

Medication isn’t a bad thing! It can give you a jump start into feeling like your old self again. I would welcome medication as long as it’s helping you not to have panic attacks. Just think about it...wishing you peace of mind 🙂🌺🙂

First you need to observe that when you come under anxiety attack? Try to avoid that situation slowly, further you need some life style changes ...
