I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacs most of adult life.
I am quite sure anyone with this diagnosis know how hard, difficult and “life limiting” this condition is.

I just want to know other peoples experiences on how to make other people (partner and family especially!) understand your condition and what you are going through. I get so much of the “calm down”, “relax” and “it can not possible be that bad” , “just think positive” attitude.
I feel it`s very hard to talk to other people about this and it`s difficult to make them understand how much it effects my life.

I in the past few months began having painful chest pains for a moments time.Once while at school i had a deep pushing pain with a pain in my left arm(never occured to me it might be heart problem)then on July 4 about two months later it happened again as i was sitting downwatching T.V.I had been to the ER 4 times in less than a month and at the time of this pain i was wearing a holter monitor(heart monitor).
I had 3-4 EKG/ECK done to me and all stated that it was Normal.
And my doctor and emergency room doctors all said my EKGs were normal.

Is it normal or are the doctor lieing?or is just anxiety,a little depression,and me being anemic causing these frequent pains?

How do you calm the anxiety of public speaking?

Is ADHD and Anxiety considered a mental illness for legal purposes?

I was considering applying for a concealed weapons permit.

“The applicant does not have a diagnosed mental illness at the time the application is made regardless of whether he or she is receiving treatment.”

I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety two years ago by a psychiatrist. I stopped going to the psychiatrist after realizing my concentration problems were due to anxiety. I no longer have anxiety problems.

Is anxiety disorder a mental illness? Will these two diagnoses hold me back in life?

What are some of your experiences with anxiety disorder, and what helps you feel better?

I have been dealing with anxiety and depression off and on since I was 15. I always forge ahead with my life despite it, but in the meantime, it’s very annoying when I go through several-week pockets of it. I think therapy, medication, and friends are important things to combat it. It’s especially awful when I have a bout of it driving at night on the freeway. I’d like to hear from other people who have experience with this– does it feel like your whole body is tense and tired? Like maybe you’re breathing wrong? Fast heartbeat, needless obsessive fear? Tell your story and how you’re overcoming it.
NOTE: Please don’t try to preach to me about why the drugs are bad. The doctors wouldn’t prescribe them if they didn’t think they would help.

I had an anxiety panic attack today?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009


I have been anxious about the finals and other school struggles lately, and today during the second to the last class..I am sure I had an attack. I could not breathe litterally like i could not swollow and my heart was racing and I was sooo cold and then hot and I felt numb and shaky followed by dizzyness. I have had one before last year in class and I passed out and ended up with the paramedics. While it happend today I tried to hide the fact that I was going crazy and something was wrong but people knew it and looking at me wierd and trying to talk to me. five minutes into the attack I felt like I needed to talk to the teacher to help me get my mind off of it. The bell rang and said you need to go to your next class. I apprently was acting wierd blurting out I cant I cant and looked really frustrated and anxious. Shortly after it passed as I was walking to the next class. Was I having another attack like before? Is this what it looks like to other people too what I feel? Idk it was horrible and felt like exploding. Should I appologize to my teacher and try to explain to her that I had an anxiety attack?
When one is having an attack….is it always really obvious to other people around that something is definately wrong? I dont want to draw bad attention to myself because people think im crazy and stupid. So I was thinking that the reason why she did not realize it was something I could not control and that i was having an attack well was because I always look confused and nervous just today was over the top and kindof agressive. Maybe it was not noticeable that I felt like I cant breath and that im breathing really hard. What does it look like to a spectator. I dont really know because its like im in a zone with everything around all foggy and high speed and bright and moving. What I think I did during the attack was look very agitated and upset and biting nails. Idk my friend said to me why are you covering your face?

*♥Girl in the red dress♥*○•. asked:


I don’t know what the symptoms are of an anxiety attack, but I think I might of had one. Last night, I was lying awake in bed, unable to fall asleep. My heart started racing so fast, and I had difficulty breathing. It felt like it was literally hitting my rib cage it was pounding so hard. It hurt like crazy. I then became very dizzy, and then I felt very tense. I started to cry because it didn’t stop. I tried taking deep breaths, but it didn’t help. I started to feel better about 3 hours later, and eventually got some sleep.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. Normally it happens at night, about once a week. But today, I was sitting in class and my heart rate began to speed up and I was short on a breath. Also, I have developed a habit of yanking out my hair, which people say relates to this. Was this an anxiety attack? How can I control them?
I have a lot going on right now with tests and what not, so is it stress related?
