My Panic Attack Solution

I have all the symptoms of a panic attack or anxiety attack but I’ve never had them all at the same time I’ve had them all in the last week or so, I’ve had heart palpitations for months now and hot flashes and chills and random sweating for like a week.
I’m 14 if that helps

A panic attack wouldn’t last a week. But your anxiety can follow you everywhere and will not necessarily "happen" more so, be "happening" all the time.

What works for panic attacks, anxiety? Amino acids…if which ones?
I have been off of alcohol for a couple of weeks, been of valium for 9 months…Lots of worry and stress daily…I need help?

Meditate. Really. Imagine you are on a beach somewhere, or in the woods – somewhere you find peaceful.
Sit tight – I promise you, if you simply sit, and be still, you will not spontaneously combust. I’ve been off the booze for years now, and watched hundreds of people get sober, and I’m gonna tell ya, part of the reason why you are wound tighter than a swiss watch made in china is because you aren’t drinking….its part of your brain recalibrating because its not pickled….

Just breathe. This too will pass. Really.

You need to give your brain a little time to get used to its new settings. Trying to take things for it might actually make it worse. There is a reason why they don’t give newly sober folks a bunch of drugs to be more comfortable….newly sober folks usually want to jump out of thier skin no matter what…

So hang in there….get some phone numbers. Call some folks. Ask them how they are doing. It will get your mind off of your anxiety, and help you build some social support networks.

Good Luck

My 12 year old daughter gets this feeling of not being able to breath and thinking her throats swelling up. Shes very healthy and active and a normal child. I use to get panic attacks but learnt to handle them and think about something else. M y daughter keeps asking is she going to die and im getting really worried. Her mom says to her everything is ok and i say calm down but i know how it feels. Whats the best thing to do and what could be causing this.

yes its completely possible, i have a very close friend who suffered the same symptoms.
However as far as I am aware there is nothing that can get rid of it, but you can let her undergo all sorts of help so that it doesnt occur as often.
my advice would be to seek help from a specialist.

Good luck

I have been having alot of panic attacks lately because recently my guy friend has been talking to me about dating me and i have been trying to get out of one relationship that im in because hes abusive. I don’t want to be with anyone right now and it makes me go into panic mode.

the most important thing for you right now, is to take care of yourself – don’t concern yourself with this guy who wants to date you, if he is a friend, that’s okay, but right now, you have to heal your own self

get rid of the abusive guy – NOW – don’t even spend another moment risking your self – whether it’s physical, emotional, or any other, you don’t want it, you sure don’t need it, and it will only keep you in "panic mode" –

ok….think about things that can calm you – write them down – make a list – hope it’s a good long one –

taking a long hot bath?
petting a kitty or puppy (do you have one?)
listening to some instrumental music, like piano (try David Lanz)
writing in a journal?
sitting in a comfy chair by the window, in the sunlight?
doing your nails

just write down everything you can think of, that would relax you, or make you smile –

are there some people who you can talk to, that are reassuring and kind? do you have their phone numbers handy? write them down also.

now…make a "plan" – every day, give yourself one hour – it doesn’t matter when, but just that you do it – pick one of those things – start with the one you like the most! and promise yourself that you will give yourself that one hour, and do it – for yourself –

after you’ve done it, write down how you felt – try to be as specific as you can possibly be – pick exactly the right words, and write about it – describe every sense that you "felt" it with – sight, smell, touch, hearing, seeing –

…….

ok, now start using that book, where you’ve described those things, as your "tour book" – whenever you start to feel panic-y, choose one of your favorites, and lose yourself in re-living that experience – let your mind wander back to when you actually DID that thing, and re-enact every moment in your mind…..

(this is an exercise that I’ve used for years, myself – and it really does help – - i hope you will give it a little try – at first it may seem silly, but just go with it – and you will hopefully find that you can lead yourself OUT of the panic attacks

good luck

It never used to happen to me before and it seems to happen now: I go to sleep and then about half an hour later i wake up again while everyone else is going to bed. Then normally I go to the bathroom. Then I struggle to get back to sleep but soon wake up again, go to the bathroom then back to bed. Then I sleep for the rest of the night. It’s making me really tired and I sometimes cry when I wake up, mostly because I have sleep panic attacks at sleepovers, which im going to tell my parents about on wednesday, they worry me and scare me. Now im sort of scared of going to sleep at night. Is this my sleep panic attacks creeping in to my normal sleeping or something else? It happened last night, even though i went to the bathroom before i went to bed. I’m 13 btw. I just hate it, please help. Thank you

y dont you watch a happy movie or something to keep your mind off from your problem. i normal have that problem to, so i start leave the tv on to something kid ish so i can fall alsleep an hear peace fully sounds in the back ground.

everytime i smoke i get start to freak out thinking im having a heart attack. im only 17 amlost 18 so i dont think i have that much of a chance. people just tell me its a panic attach but idk.i need sum good advice. my heart beats fast and i freak out and hard to breath. i think ill drop dead any second but is that truly a heardtattact or is it all my head. PLEASE HELP! i just wanna know it will be ok and i wont die when i have a panic attack while smoking.

That used to happen to me too but for some reason it doesn’t anymore. Marijuana does increase heart rate. This coupled with the paranoia associated with being high leads to a marijuana panic attack. So it is both physical and mental. After a while your body/brain get used to it and you don’t notice it so much. But until then try to keep track of how much you are smoking and don’t do more than you can handle. Certain practices can help reduce the effects of a marijuana panic attack. Try telling yourself that it is all in your mind and that you are fine. Breathe deeply and relax, the less you worry about it the better you will feel. Try to focus your attention on something else, like tv or a video game. Just try to keep your mind busy with other activities so you aren’t thinking about your body.

Without doctors or meds, counselor’s etc? Of course if you knew any off the counter meds I would check them out but i cant get a therapist or psychiatrist or anything. Do you know of any ways to help Paranoia and anxiety? Ways to prevent panic attacks? Or deal with them? And all the like, i’ll take any decent advice you give. Thank you.

I have social anxiety disorder which causes me anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis. Lately they’ve become so overpowering and frequent that I can’t even leave my apartment (for work, to go to the store, etc). I have tried antidepressants in the past, but they made me suicidal.

I am scheduled to see a psychiatrist but where I live it usually takes weeks of waiting to get in. What can I do?

You should see a hormone expert instead of a shrink, or both………..hormones are at the root cause of panic attacks, many times adrenal glands……..
If noone has tested your thyroid (also a hormone and regulator of hormones) then do that , also
A regular doctor can get a blood test for thyroid, sex,adrenal,cortisol,DHEAS levels and you can take the results to an expert
hormones are at the basis of most mental illnesses……here are some hormone experts like what you need………..
and a free healing method until he retires in march

Since your body is producing an excess of adrenaline, would it help to get it out of your system by exercising?

Not necessarily. Bear in mind that exercise often enervates and encourages the release of adrenaline. This is why a young male cannot run around the track and maintain an erection…adrenalin will stifle arousal.

Endorphins can offset some but it’s not likely to work out as an even swap.

It’s a good idea to deal with a chronic (ongoing) condition resulting in anxiety-induced states on that condition’s own merits. Exercise can help stabilize a person, generally speaking, but it’s not going to replace modern medicine.
