Hi all,
I am a 21 year old male living in Canada. A college student. Last Saturday, I went to the emergency and I was suffering from an mild anxiety attack. After talking with the doctor, my troubling problem went away and I am feeling so well now. But at the moment the doctor refered me to a phychiatrist. My problem now is that now I want to bring all my problems back since I have a phychiatrist appointment in 2 weeks. Why should I worry about my problems again if I am cured.

Someone asked:


Ok, so I’m really worried I have AvPD, avoidant personality disorder. I have had anxiety for 2 years now and it’s been getting steadily worse. One thing I have read on AvPD was that: “While people with social anxiety may constantly monitor their own interpersonal relationships, those with AvPD will constantly monitor the reactions of those they are interacting with.”
I thought, maybe I do this. I’ll think about what people do and their ****** expressions, and I’ll think they don’t like me. Or, I’ll say something socially awkward, and a person will give a weird reaction, and I’ll be like “Did I say something really stupid?”
Now, because I keep thinking I have AvPD and perhaps because I keep thinking of this exact symptom which differentiates SAD and AvPD, I’ll start thinking lots of people around me might have AvPD too! Even though it’s pretty obvious they don’t.
The thing is, I don’t avoid social situations, I’m not totally anxious in front of crowds of people, I just feel uncomfortable and feel like ‘eyes are upon me’. I’ve never had an anxiety attack, but I get symptoms like confusion, racing thoughts, sweating, shortness of breath. I have quite a few close friends, friends that I think would stick up for me if it came to it. There are times when I can’t be myself because of the incessant thinking and these irrational thoughts. There’s a part of me that wants to tell me that I don’t have a mental illness: it’s all anxiety. But whenever that part of me starts coming out, and I’ll be able to be myself, the irratonal thoughts will come back and now the newest one is: “Do I have AvPD.” It’s like everything I do now relates to AvPD… I can’t stop thinking about it.

Are the above thoughts I described just irrational thoughts, including the ones where I view others actions and ask myself whether I’m wrong or act socially awkward? Or are these signs that I do have AvPD?
Please help!

I’m an 18 year old and I went on a 10 day drinking binge. meaning I got drunk every night and/or day. I had no real problems. then, this morning, after drinking about 6 jack and cokes and some rum and red bull as well as a little bit of tequila last night, I woke up to some minor, but very annoying chest pain, tightness, as well as jitters, and strange fatigue. I nearly passed out in my class today and nearly fainted walking up some stairs. napped for about 6 hours and woke up feeling better, but the problems persist a bit. I’m not sure whether this is from alcohol withdrawal, or if the problem lies within my body’s attempts to get rid of the alcohol i drank last night, and simply being overworked. for a while i thought i might be having a heart attack. any help would be appreciated. i’ve also been suffering anxiety and panic attacks when not drinking, so i’m not sure if this was just a bad anxiety attack. what are these symptoms indicating?

I’m 16 and I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and depression (what a great mix right?) (not only that but it cause headaches everyday) and anyway I haven’t done much research but when I have these ‘attacks’ I normally start breathing real hard to the point where I hyperventilate, I get dizzy, and sick and I just freak out so much that I cry. Is it normal to cry if someone has an attack? Thanks.
Everyone is so nice here on Mental Issues. LoL.
Thanks!

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?

I had what I think was an anxiety attack, I’ve had mild ones before. However, I had shooting pains down my arm everytime I’d try to breath. And the pain was 10x worse, I couldn’t even move. I know that is a symptom of a heart attack. However, It was down my right shoulder & arm, isn’t it only if it’s down your left side? I’m going in to see my Dr today. But I thought I’d check if anyone knows….

I have been under a lot of stress lately, yesterday I had an espresso & about an hour later, my chest got tight, sore, I couldn’t get a deep breath in, my left arm went cold & numb, I felt dizzy & almost passed out. I was ready to call 911, but after taking some tylenol, the symptoms began to subside. I’m a little better today & have an appt with my Dr.

MargieB asked:


Last night I started to have these weird attacks where my body went crazy. I started to have hot flashes and dizziness and I became nautious. My heart started beating really fast and i felt like I couldn’t breathe and like I was going to pass out. My first reaction was that I was haveing a sugar attack becasue I’ve had those before but I had sugar that day and that didn’t seem right. I looked it up on google and my symptoms were of an anxiety attck. Except there’s one problem, I don’t know what their coming from. I wasn’t worrying or afraid until the attack came on me. Theyve been coming back on and off today. Does this sound like an anxiety attck to you?
