you must see your doctor and explain what you are feeling. They can give you a mild dose of something to see if it helps.

it will take time to work if you are given medicine: maybe a month. It has to build up in your body. And when you go off someting, you have to go off it very slowly. Much more slowly than you went on.

There might be counselling you can have to learn strategies of combating the attacks. Or to talk about why you get them. I found counselling incredibly useful, my counsellor taught me lots of things I did not know before.

Hi, welcome. Physical exercise, bicycling, working out, playing golf, works for me, helps me get beneath anxiety to form a healthy anger.

Hi, i have always been shy and introverted. I have learnt over the years to cope with it. It's hard but I didn't want my life to be overtaken with fear. Easier said than done. I have a well paid job, relationship but there are times when my anxiety raises it head.

I found personal development helps me. If I want things to be different I had to make it happen. I find mindfulness useful. Exercise too such as swimming, walking. Yoga is really good for relaxing and exercise, it helps me to make time for relaxation.

I have never tried meds but have been to counselling years ago. I guess different things work for individuals.

i also had a lonely childhood. I wonder how many people with anxiety grew up that way. Keep your head up.
