Any good online chat rooms or forums where you can connect with TEENS tht have anxiety disorders?

Answer 1

Hi, I am the author of http://panicattackresearch.blogspot.com

Do not worry, I am not spamming my site - my site don't sell products or anything. My site is solely dedicated to panic-attacks or people whom have anxiety. I give tips on how to sleep even if you have anxiety.

Please do visit and post any questions there or here so that I can help you further.

I have been a sufferer for 12-years and am doing well. My blog is dedicated to help. I will be updating my blog every 5-7 days on new ways to cope anxiety. I have just made few good entries on coping - I hope it will help you.

I started out taking prozac 20mg daily.. then it dropped to 10mg and now I am just taking 5mg and still doing very well. I might be considering taking medication off my life.

And most importantly, I am here to help you because I know how it feels to have anxiety or panic attacks.

Anyway, there are also free tips and free items on relaxation and such for you to download on my web! I even have an entry on how to sleep despite anxiety.

All the best,

Seng

Please take the poll - it is essential for my research as I think there's a connection on something!

Answer 3

I've suffered from anxiety since I was about 13 but didn't seek help until I was 20 (I'm almost 30 now), so first off good for you!

I googled "teen anxiety forums" and found the following:

Teen Anxiety Support Group:

http://dailystrength.org/c/Teen-Anxiety/...

Student Center Forums (Depression/Anxiety):

http://forums.student.com/viewforum.php?...

Just to let you know, I haven't checked these out in depth.

Another good place to look at is www.copecaredeal.com.  It's a good site, with real doctors verifying all of the information.  I've been involved in preparing some of the information for this site, but on eating disorders, not anxiety.

Your other best bet is to email someone at the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (www.adaa.org) and ask the same question.  They're probably much more familiar with the field than I am.

Best of luck!
