My Panic Attack Solution

Alright, so basically I have anxiety.
And I had my first panic attack a month and a half ago.
Like this dizzy feeling, lightheadedness, palpitation.
I am 12, weighing currently 65 kilos(around 130 pounds) and 5 feet tall.
Can you cure anxiety without medication? If so, what are the natural remedies? There are famous sites that cure anxiety, and alot of people reviewed on it and said it works, though I don’t want to pay for it. Does anyone know those natural remedies, besides going to the doctor, therapy, etc.
btw, I went to the doctor the first day, when I had my first panic attack, the first man said he wasn’t sure if I had anything wrong with me, my blood pressure was perfect for my age. We went to another doctor just to get another opinion, she said I’m absolutely fine, I’m just a little too stressed for my age.
So, that hopefully, must lead to anxiety.
Since I have the symptoms.
numbness/tingling/slight coldness at times in toes/fingers.
dizziness sometimes, and shortness of breath, chest pain.
I need your help please
(:
Also, the day I had my panic attack I weighed 68 kilos, now 65.

and I’ve heard about easycalm.com, the linden method, and a few more.
Has someone joined one of them, if so what did you do, and could to give me the advice that they gave you?
please, I am in need!!

Firstly can I just say to you I am so sorry you seem to be suffering from stress and anxiety at so young an age.
I understand completely how you are suffering..
What I would say firstly is you have to talk to someone about how you are feeling, and how what you are going through and how that is affecting you weight.
I understand that you may think that is "what people will say", but it is Crucial to your well being that you speak with someone now. What about your mother, father… Someone at school..
You must see your doctor. This is not something you can cope with alone at your age..
The help you need will most probably begin with your parents or school.
You most explain how you feel to someone who can get you the help you need now..
Do it today.
There are so many people here who will support you.
You can always come back and tell us what you have done, how you can progress, your way forward. But talk to someone now.
See a teacher today..
Start with the help you need now..
I will look out for your next question/answer to see how you are progressing.
You will always have friends here..
Get help now please..

My boyfriend of 2 years has some problems…and I need some answer’s.

Since a child he was diagnosed A.D.D. Thinking he would eventually grow out of it…he never has and now at 29 it has actually gotten worse, he has a horrible temper and his mind races at 100 M.P.H constantly. I mean its so bad that daily he runs red- lights, not on purpose but because he can’t focus and he doesn’t pay attention. He is probably the worst person under a high stress situation that I have ever seen. He constantly has problems sleeping . He is so moody and gets aggravated very, very easily. As you can imagine this puts a huge toll on our relationship!

Now I have worked as a C.N.A on the psych ward and also helped with occupational therapy. I also have family and friends with sever depression and some w/ bi-polar disorder also have a niece with autism. So needless to say I know a little about mental disorders.
My boyfriend does know and fully admits he has a problem. He’s not too big on the whole therapy idea. So lately he has been taking Xanax and it has made a world of difference!!! We both love what the Xanax does for him, but I don’t want him to become addicted to this! I myself have had addiction problems with very dangerous drugs in the past called "oxcy" and I know how addictive Xanax can be. I told him to only take Xanax in panic attack mode, but by that point its sometimes too late!

Ritalin also doesn’t work for him because he was on that as a child and young adult, but we also don’t want him taking that daily either!

Ashley "my boyfriend" does smoke weed on a daily basis. He believes the weed helps him a little and I do see the difference from when he has smoked and when he hasn’t. And NO weed is NOT the problem, he has had these issues even before smoking and if anything the weed I believe does help a little. He is willing to stop smoking if there is something else out there to help with his GABA.

I am a firm believer in natural remedies’. We don’t want him to have to take any anti-depressants because we don’t believe that depression is his problem. But I am to the point to where I will try anything to help him! Is there a natural anti-depressant out there, is there something safer than Xanax? Can anyone help give me some answers? And please don’t tell me about the side effects of Xanax and that my boyfriend is probably A.D.D. This I already know. I am merly asking if there is something like Xanax out there without the side effects so that Ashley can live anormal life without panic, anger and stress!! Thanks for your time and concern!

A good diet with an amino acid and b vitamin supplement, for a start.
Natural supplements, could include melatonin, valerian,chamomile and kava-kava. Kava is effective, but somewhat hard to find, although it is still legal, because has been implicated in liver damage.
Even diphenhydramine (benedryl) might be worth trying.
If he does still need a benzodiazapene, I have found clonazipam (Klonapin) to be more effective and less addicting with fewer side effects than Xanax. It takes a bit longer, perhaps 30 minutes to take effect.

Good morning,

I am 20, female, and for the last few months I have been suffering quite bad stress and anxiety. I currently have a health problem, which has been making me feel very anxious about it, and also I have been sorting alot of peoples problems, and the anxiety has just built up. Yesterday I was in a state of panic, and having a panic attack for about 3 hours, which was horrible.

This morning I feel alot better. My Mum has given me a 20ml bottle of Rescue Remedy. I read that you can put 4 drops in water, and take at intervals, how many times is that then, that you can take it? Also, I have taken the method this morning of putting 4 drops on my tongue, how many times can you do that a day? As it doesn’t say you can take it that way multiple times…

How long does it take to have effect for anxiety and worry?

Thanks!! xxxx

Im 14 and i used to have really bad anxiety and rescue remedy worked great for me. I had the spray version and you would spray two squirts on your tongue and it for me almost instantly relieve the worry and anxiety, I don’t think there is really a limit though to how much you take i would just do it whenever you feel anxious. Obviously don’t take TOO much because there is alcohol in it.
Hope this helped.

I’ve suffered from permanent derealization for a couple weeks now.I’m not sure if it is permanent or what, because sometimes it went and was completely normal, and sometimes returns and strikes me 24/7 I’m 14 years old. I didn’t knew what it was until I did some research and was paralyzed by fear. When I did the research of it, and realized it was this, now I have it everyday, 24/7. It’s driving me crazy!

I feel like I’m living in a dream, and even though I know that I’m normal and that I’m in reality, somehow I still can’t realize it. Please help me. I’ve been with this for over a year now, and it comes and goes, but as I mentioned before, now It’s permanent.

I’ve read The Secret, and it has helped me calmed down, but it won’t go away

I also have panic attacks and anxiety attacks because of this. I can’t sleep also because I live with the fear that it won’t go away. Please help me! I want to return to my normal life please, be back to a normal guy. Is there something (natural remedies, pills, or something), that will help me get rid of this? Please?

I’m really scared that I will stay like this.

Thank you

You really should see someone who can help you get through it. Sounds like the problem may be a little bit bigger than you.

Life’s a struggle. It shouldn’t always have to be. I’m not setting out to change the world; I’m not trying to change government policy, though it would be nice. I’m propelled to shed light where I believe light needs to be shed. These are the facts of my mind.

The air is undulating again. Transparent shades of dust cycle before my blinking eyes. Light beams glare off the plastic rims of my glasses. Taking them off and putting on them on as I attempt to make sense of today’s headlines in my Google Reader. They say air is invisible but I can feel it curve around me, slowly inhaling and exhaling carpet fibers. How do I feel? How do I not know how I feel? Am I supposed to feel like this? My head hurts just a tiny bit – yet with movement, a slight dizziness. There’s a lump within my throat, a regurgitating feeling shooting up from my gut. I’m always burping something up (or wish I could). An indescribable nausea that’s never bad enough to demand serious medical attention, yet impairs me enough to demand my constant attention.

But I’m not worried. It happens everyday.

I’ve searched and scoured online, read books, and spent many visits in doctor’s offices. Blood tests and consultations. Nothing ever concrete. Perhaps its just a bad stomach acid? I get that from my father. And anxiety? My mother. I grew up hearing my OCD mother count letters in names and doing small tasks a specific number of times. As I witnessed this, I promised to myself that I would not let the OCD get through to me. As a result, I believed I developed a social anxiety. (I’m not anti-social; it’s just hard for me to make new friends.) I never have near the amount of caffeine the average coworker ingests. Never ever coffee. Yuck.

Is it an anxiety disorder that I could easily overcome? I saw a therapist with a comb-over. He took my company’s insurance. I believe it helped me (no more panic attacks) but the nausea just didn’t go away. The doctors keep telling me there is nothing to be concerned about. I suppose it was nice to hear that I’m healthy. Extremely nice. So that means I’m supposed to deal with nauseous headaches for the rest of my life?

Medication made it all worse. I even stopped using pill-form birth control so as not to disturb my stomach’s delicate balance. Psychoactive drugs tie my stomach in more knots. Not to mention becoming a total bitch. The Xanex I was prescribed is addictive so I’m afraid to take too much, plus she won’t keep prescribing it. It does nothing for the nausea but certainly calms down my naturally wired self. I tried all the natural and over-the-counter remedies, too: Ginger, peppermint tea, fish oils, meditation, and antacids. They all worked somewhat but the stomach issues persist.

I would also eat a lot. Always bread and crackers and chips in attempt to calm my stomach. Anything with carbs, a rather atypical diet. I’ve even changed my eating habits beyond that. Very little refined sugars (for the headaches), nothing spicy, very little caffeine (I may have tea or a piece of chocolate), and very little fried/greasy (I love fried foods, so I won’t cut them out completely).

There is one thing that works. And it works so well. I actually stopped eating as much because it absolutely cures my stomach as quickly as I intake. It surprisingly takes away the dizziness; no longer do feel the air move as I stare into its blank abyss. I can focus! I can read! I can be as productive as a 50’s housewife or Kamikaze pilot on speed. Too bad it’s only partially legal in ten states. And don’t even think of healthcare covering it.

Many people refuse to believe me; just because cannabis makes them dizzy and hungry, why would it take mine away? How does speed (amphetamines) help those with ADD to actually calm down and focus? Its a chemical reaction that no amount of perceived logic will help those understand who do not wish to. Cannabis completely and absolutely helps me to be the productive woman I was raised to be. And want to be. Too bad I can’t take my medication at work. I’d be a much more effective employee.

I can’t tell most of my family members, even less of my coworkers, and must be hush, hush about what I say online. I can’t casually mention it on the street. And to any strong conservative, I’m just a no-good druggie pothead.

druggy for smoking grass??? hahahaha just enjoy another beer and be a hypocrite.

i dont smoke it myself by the way but the fact were having this debate about it being used for medical purposes shows how backward the drug policy is.

I’m 39 and within the last year, PMS is getting insane. I get so depressed to the point of crying all day and wishing I was dead, the tiniest thing sends me into a fit of rage, I get anxiety to the point of panic attacks, plus I get clumsy and cramped…. and then in 3 days it’s gone and I can’t believe I behaved that way. I feel like I should sedate myself into a coma and stay in bed for 3 days a month!! What can I do? Any drugs, herbs, natural remedies, foods? Thanks

Welcome to peri-menopause. You aren’t the only one. LOL

Have your GYN check your hormone levels. IF they are out of whack they can put you on hormones to even it back out. But if they are ok, then you’ll just have to keep reminding yourself (like most of us)….that it IS just your period and it IS going to pass soon.

Good morning,

I am 20, female, and for the last few months I have been suffering quite bad stress and anxiety. I currently have a health problem, which has been making me feel very anxious about it, and also I have been sorting alot of peoples problems, and the anxiety has just built up.

Thanks!! xxxx

you can take it as often as feels good for you, all that’s in it is brandy and flower essences. a good way to take it is to put four drops under your tongue and just breath it in for a couple minutes. this might also help because sometimes when we get stressed we forget to breath.

don’t listen to people who say this is bunk. it works for some and not for others. even if it is a placebo effect, if it helps who cares? it doesn’t help me at all, but i’ve seen it work for friends and i have really severe anxiety and need something a lot stronger.

if it helps you take however much is right for you. if it doesn’t, you might consider seeing a naturopath. my naturopath has really helped with my anxiety. i would also recommend therapy. everyone can use a wise sympathetic ear.

another thing that’s really helped me is yoga and meditation. i have trouble meditating because my mind is always racing, so guided meditations on cd are really helpful. but yoga is really the best. the whole point of yoga is to prepare the body and mind for meditation by bringing stillness. when you do a really intense yoga session, you’ll find that eventually you’re not thinking about anything but the pose and your breath. it’s really good for your mental state to get a break from all those busy thoughts.

remember, anxiety is a like fire alarm. taking meds, even herbal ones is turning off the alarm, not finding the fire. if you want to put it out, you need therapy.

I have social anxiety a lot. Sometimes if I have to talk to a really cute boy or go to a job interview, I get really freaked out and almost have a panic attack. However, I really don’t want to resort to prescription medication. Does anyone know of any remedies, natural treatments, or other ways to help combat this? Thanks.

Social anxiety is difficult to treat,especially if it’s severe.However,it’s the most common anxiety disorder.Medications can help alleviate the worst of the symptoms.Seeing a psychologist or a course of CBT may be of some help too.

I’ve suffered from permanent derealization for a couple weeks now.I’m not sure if it is permanent or what, because sometimes it went and was completely normal, and sometimes returns and strikes me 24/7 I’m 14 years old.

I also have panic attacks and anxiety attacks because of this. I can’t sleep also because I live with the fear that it won’t go away. Please help me!

Thank you

Share this situation with someone closer to you like parents, brothers, sisters, close relatives, well meaning friends, elders, etc. By sharing you will come back to your original state.

I’ve been suffering with Panic Disorder for the last year. I’ve tried a myriad of natural remedies, but nothing seems to work.

I’ve taken Xanax and Valium on and off to curb an attack, but it no longer works in small doses. I’m not one to want to be on meds, but I’m considering Xanax XR, anyone have any experiences? positive or negative.
