Do you like to read? If so I recommend reading the book called "the power of now" by eckhart tolle
If you can't afford to buy it you may be able to find it in the library

It saved my life xx

You may need a little therapy or a visit to a doctor to help you through this difficult time.

Briggy1 has some great advice. Sometimes a bit of medical assistance can make a whole world of difference. Also, I have found adult coloring books really help relax my brain/mind.

Therapy and meds for a while sound like a good idea for you. Also read about anxiety. I have a good book. Rewire your anxious brain by Catherine Pittman.

I've been in therapy on and off since I was 10 for my anxiety. I'm 22 now and found a new therapist last May and have been on meds until recently, each medication that was given to me I kept having some sort of side effect so they kept switching me around and got tiredness of it so I weaned myself off the last medication I've been taking and then everything seemed fine until recently. I'm moving out with my boyfriend and his teenager daughter, trying to find a new job and been going to interviews like crazy and I think the stress of that is triggering it all. I like the idea of going to a holistic doctor for some blood work to see exactly what is going on with me. That's probably the only thing I haven't tried yet. I heard yoga helps too... does anyone have experience with yoga helping them?

Sam, I feel for you. I have dealt with anxiety for many years and it is something that comes and goes. I have noticed that when it comes it is because I have stopped doing the things I know are correct. The things that I know help me better treat my anxiety and lower the whole panic. One thing that has helped me is guided meditation, go on youtube and find a guided meditation channel that you enjoy, try one that is short at first, take your time with it. You will not be healed in a day or 2 but keep at it and keep growing. After a bit you will find peace within yourself. Yoga is also very good, it keeps your mind and your body connected, again it is something you have to work at. One thing also, when you start feeling better do not just drop all the good habits you have created because then you'll have to start over. Take it one step at a time and know that tomorrow never comes, you are always in the today, you will never again be in the past and you will never reach the future. Only today, only this moment is real.

Let yourself have the attack. Have some faith in 10,000 yrs of evolution. You are designed to right yourself, with internal ballast systems you don't know about. So ride the wave. Get swamped. Cry. Go ahead and have the panic attack. There's nothing wrong with them. Your arms don't break, your legs don't fall off. Half the time nobody even knows you're having one. Go to your room if you can, go to the loo if you can't. You can always excuse yourself to go to the loo. (Tell them all you have irritable bowel or celiac and they'll make a pathway for you as you run for the door...) Have that attack. Have it completely. Have it fully. Have it till it's utterly had and then you'll see; it won't come back.

and that one thing that's freaked you out for 10 yrs won't freak you out any more. And you can tick it off your list. It's gone. Defused. Bomb blasted, no more gelignite. 1 down, 55 more to go...

:D Just do it. You'l be fine.

About the only thing that works for acute anxiety (for me) is a long hard walk. Unfortunately that's not always possible. Booze works, of course, but not for the long haul. If you can't walk/run outside, try lunges or burpees to get your heart rate steady and tire yourself out.
I've been stuck in the house unable to do that when my head was screaming. I wish there was a better solution.

lol all these distractions. Don't distract. Confront the dragon. Slay the beast.

A coward dies 1000 deaths but a hero only one.

Anxiety sucks but it's part of the human condition. It's our job, when confronted with it, to analyse the situation and rate the level of danger. And then dominate our adrenal system. Dominate the system. You are the boss of it, it is not the boss of you. You have to be both head driven to dominate it, and heart driven to let it speak. You have to let yourself cry for it, but you have to not believe a word of it. lol.

but let yourself have them. Let them be done and get them behind you. Spend your life distracting from them and they'll be like a wife you ignore - shouting louder, and louder, and louder over this one tiny thing she needs you to hear....
