anxiety!!

I just got a hit with a bad wave of anxiety !It started about a half hour ago when i felt a lump in my throat. Then I just freaked myself out ... I have tried all my tricks , imagery, prayer, took a walk, nothing is calming me down so i thought writing it out would give me some clarity ... I just took a xanax hopefully it will help in about 20 min or so

I suffer from anxiety attacks too. When I feel one coming on, I just tell myself that I am OK and its just an attacked. They say that you have to stop it before your body releases so endorphines that make you get completely out of control.

Beleive me I know it hard to stop it, and sometimes I dont. But you have to calm youself down.

The xanex will work very shortly..

Hang in there!

I am sorry. I get really really bad panic attacks. I had one this morning myself.. just all the stress with the economy and i drank coffee (which i shouldnt do).. It ***** so I know how horrible it can be. I hate it more than anything. Relax and listen to some music if you can. Xanax will kick in soon.. thank god for that stuff (sad i know).

Recently I have been going to acupuncture for the panic attacks and until this morning I hadn't had one since I started going. I have actually had alot less anxiety and stress too (not normal for me) Even this morning the nervousness and panic wasnt as bad as it normally would be and I was able to breathe and shake it off without xanax! The acupuncture really does work wonders. You should try it out if it gets bad.

Hope you feel better

It is not a fun thing !!!!! Sorry you go thru this .... I had attacks years ago, and it is the scariest thing to happen to you !!!!!! Try to relax and take deep breaths in and out....

That might help you should talk to your doc about it. If you feel comfortable going back on it then try it out and see if they get better.

I never had panic attacks until 3 months ago and they were bad. I lost alot of weight and was very sick so I researched alot and this is what helped me:

-Change your diet.. eat alot of healthy, organic food
-Chamomile tea
-Cut out all caffiene
-Work out more
-Acupuncture
-Aromatherapy... lavendar works for me
-Yoga and Breathing exercises.

my sister has anxiety..its not a fun thing..try to breathe and stay calm...hope u r feeling better

thanks everyone I was just reading that anxiety is worse during pms .. i got off the pill about a year ago when and thats when the anxiety really started maybe i should go back on the pill

I suffer from bad anxiety, and my dr said that the pill will help you b/c as you wrote it's worse while you PMS. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to go back on.
