I know everyone is different.
But can you sense an anxiety attack coming on?
If so what symptoms, or feelings do you get?
Thanks for your help.

Also any “secret” relaxation techniques that work for you?
Emmas mommy:
Maybe I had anxiety a million years ago, and did not know it.
I used to have those fainting spells, but also had blood pressure problems.
Always thought it was that.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!

What do you think about Anxiety Disorders?

February 27th, 2010

niceice asked:


Do you think they are real illnesses? Or just a psychological ‘hurdle’ as it were – something that just occurs in some of us due to childhood experiences or unknown reasons?

Something that can be cured by bringing oneself back to reality? Or something that requires medical treatment? What are your veiws?
thanks :]
‘you can call me god’ – do you know what caused your social phobia? Or did it just randomly develop? hope you don’t mind me asking.

I think i may have some sort of mild anxiety disorder and im just interested. Thanks.

Anxiety Attack? Please Help?

February 26th, 2010

TruthSeeker asked:


I was under a lot of stress earlier today and had some caffeine as well…as I was talking to someone about what was stressing me out so badly, I almost fainted 3 times. My heart was beating very hard, although only slightly faster than normal. I was shaking and felt like I couldn’t breathe right. I always have floaters in my eyes because of an astigmatism, but they got much worse during all this. Since that happened, I’ve had a very fatigued soreness in both my legs up to my lower back to where I don’t feel like I can even walk (as if I’d just run a marathon). I do have diagnosed generalized anxiety, but have not experienced something like this before. Are these symptoms of a panic attack? If not, are they symptoms of another illness?

Okay, Well i think I’ve had anxiety attacks before but it’s like these are really painful and actually feels like I’m dying. Okay, So to inform you I’m under 15 [[ Years old]] ^_^ Pretty young. And i guess I’d say I’m a hypochondriac. I had pressure behind my head [[Thought it was a Brain tumor]] so i begged my mom for an MRI and EEG. And NO abnormalities.
So, I’m like woo Thank god.
So yesterday i had a lot of pressure behind my head, Okay i was laying down in the dark, i share rooms with a sister and i wasn’t asleep but laying down eyes closed and all of a sudden my body moved quickly and felt a sense of fear and i panicked because head pressure out of control >_< so these were the symptoms
before the anxiety happened i had my fan on the highest level and for me it was still too hot
hot and cold flashes
needing to go to the bathroom
shortness of breath
fear of dying
out of control
abdominal pain [[ passing gas too a lot for some reason]]
sorry for being gross :[
and i was worrying a lot!
I worry a lot about my health
my family doesn't think about bad health they are healthy and they eat not healthy -.-

oh and for some reason i started my period say around July 20, 2008 yeah and it's always been late but like 3 days late and now it's November 29 and it hasn't come. Is it because I'm dying and it's that my period doesn't want to come?

How did you overcome anxiety and panic attacks?

February 25th, 2010

BeachBoarder asked:


I just started getting some attacks and symptoms throughout my days and I googled it and all these people are saying they’ve suffered for years with disabling anxiety and you just have to learn to live with it… which of course has made me even more freaked out. I don’t even want to live if I have to deal with this! I would never actually do anything suicidal but this is making me very depressed.

Any success stories? Preferably not from using drugs but cognitive behavior therapy or something else?

I **** my anxiety. My symptoms for it is feeling sick, feeling like about to vomit, light headed, dizzy, and feeling out of this world. It makes me not enjoy life as much as I use to! Any of you people also **** your anxiety and what do you feel when you have an attack.
