Looking for some help/advise

[Lucky253]

Hi I'm looking for some help/advise on how to deal with bad anxiety and panic attacks, I've been suffering these everyday for weeks and i am at breaking point. I start sweating really bad and panic over nothing all day, i get dizzy and feel like im going to pass out all the time, im anxious and scared 24/7

Claire weekes on YouTube - it’s old footage but best advice I’ve heard. I know what you’re going through. It’s truly awful but you are ok, accept the symptoms, don’t fight them

[Shaymocha111 in reply to JaneN40]

When I try to ignore them it’s like a kid that keeps bugging until u acknowledge it and if I fight them it makes it harder

[Lucky253 in reply to Shaymocha111]

Its like this for me too! I just need to find a way to control it

[Shaymocha111 in reply to Lucky253]

Yep it’s hard

[Lucky253 in reply to Shaymocha111]

Do you have any tips on how to calm down when your feeling like this? I feel like this all day everyday

[Shaymocha111 in reply to Lucky253]

No I try to breathe and In out honestly nothing working for me like right now I’m weak scared to do anything vision bothering me

If you can't calm down on yourself,see a psychiatrist and go on with some medication for a while..For me i could not deal with this panic and anxiety disorder,i was suffering severely so have to consult to a doctor and he prescribed me some medication.Although medication is not ultimate solution,it may give you some relax while needed.

[Lucky253 in reply to souren]

Did you find a medication that worked for you?

[souren in reply to Lucky253]

Yes,Clonazepam(0.25mg) is really being a life-saver for me..But I have been on it for about a year,and i think i have developed dependency on it,0.25 mg does not work as effectively as used to be.See a psychiatrist he/she might prescribe some other medication base on your symptoms...I don't know your situation but if you want my suggestion i will tell you to do a little exhaustible but enjoyable work,like swimming.It really relieves you out and gives you a deep sleep,otherwise a sedentary life will affect you more,that happened to me..

[Lucky253 in reply to souren]

Did you experience any side effects when you started this? Ive had anxiety for years but never used to suffer with the panic attacks until i had my daughter its gotten so bad! Im anxious and panicky all day everyday over nothing, sweating out no where and having a panic attack for nothing at all, its really staring to control my life

[souren in reply to Lucky253]

At first you will feel sleepy and weak but within few days you will get used to it,i hope.By the way,how old are you?

[Lucky253 in reply to souren]

Thank you, im 22

[souren in reply to Lucky253]

See a doctor,he/she will helps you out of this..I have gone through a lot of hell,i know how hard it is.Most of all,don't fear,try to have a grip on you mind.Get well soon..

[Lucky253 in reply to souren]

Thanks very much

You got great advice here. In the meantime, try meditation, it does work. Try a beginners meditation on you tube. Positive Magazine is a good one. Also look up mindfulness meditation. This specific type helps " ground" you. It keeps u in the present moment as opposed to anxiety keeping u in the past. Yoga is very good at helping with anxiety too. Starting a good regimen takes practice with either one but even if u just try you will feel a positive difference.

If you find yourself in a panicky situation Just breathe- in through your nose, out through your mouth slowly.... Let the thoughts go. Do not fight the thoughts. It is not easy but u can do it!

We r rooting you on! You are not alone.

[Hidden in reply to Lucky253]

I try to push myself and it crippled me at times... I always feel weak and out of it like I’m going to pass out... I think I might start meds

[Lucky253 in reply to Hidden]

Does this come on worse at night times?

[Lucky253 in reply to Benn96]

Sometimes yeah, when I'm sat just watching tv or not doing much it comes out of no where

[baileyf14]

I am so sorry you are going through this. Anxiety is such a difficult thing to deal with. Do you have a close friend or family member you could talk to? It always helps me to do that because they will know what is going on and know how to be there for me. Also, it really helps me to get outside and go for a walk. I hope everything gets better.

[Lucky253 in reply to baileyf14]

Thank you, yeah i have a lot of support! Its just difficult at times trying to explain whats going on in your head when you don't understand it yourself! Thanks so much
