    • Close Anxiety

      i've suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for 2 years now, i'm so scared that it will never go away, i have irrational thoughts constantly, and i'm constantly worried that i'm not breathing enough, i sometimes look in the mirror and wonder if that is what i have always looked like, i have stopped taking any medication whatsoever because i'm afraid that it will harm me, including regular pain killers.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Not Working
      it did not work
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      it helped a bit to slow down my anxiety
      Valium Working / Worked
      i took it in the peak of my panic attacks but all they did was make me sleep, and then once i started getting immune to them i became too afraid that they would harm me, i haven't taken them since
      Zoloft Not Working
      i used to take it for 2 years before my anxiety, but since i have had anxiety i have been too scared to take it
    • Close Panic Attacks

      i got my first panic attack 2 years ago, i was having lunch with friends and hadn't been able to breathe right for a few days, thought it was asthma so i stopped smoking cigarettes coz it was worrying me, anyway so i'm having lunch and all i could focus on was my breathing and 10 minutes later i was in hospital, with a million heart monitors xrays blood tests, my doc told me 'calm down ur just having a panic attack' haha yeah ok i'll calm down thanks 4 the help doc

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      i always try to see the positive in everything
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      it was a little helpful, but i was not ready to accept what was goin on so i stopped
      Rescue Remedy Working / Worked
      this is amazing! if u haven't tried it definately try it
