I am 26 years old.My life has been traumatic to say the least,so I have not ever really dealt with stress or emotions very well.Used to be I would get depressed.Lately I have started having intense bouts wih panic.It has gotten so bad that I almost had my supervisor call an ambulance.I was dizzy and shaking and my heart was pounding.I thought for sure I was going to faint and everyone would laugh.I fought it and fought it.I didnt want to say anyhting becasue I just started this job and didnt want anyone to think I was crzy.Usually this only happens when I get worried or anxious,but has happened for apparently no reason at all..I am scared that it is just going to get worse and worse and I will end up a raving lunatic of some sort.
Should I expect it to get worse or am I just pschying myself out again!
*sigh* this sucks,I jsut want to be "normal" whatever that is!

I would always suggest trying everything possible before resorting to medication, but in my case it is the only thing that has worked thus far. And, I have tried "everthing" I am still trying whatever I can. I am slowly trying what Anxiety Ridden has explained. It has worked some of the time and that is with the medication. I am not going to give up and you shouldn't either. It is a great way to beat this fear, athough a work in progress.
Try breathing exercises while your at your desk. They help alot too!
All my best to you!
