Question

I get panic atatcks almost every day and feel uneasy/panicky throughout the whole day. I have just been put on tablets so will see how they work but any other ideas?

Answer 1

I used to have really bad panic attacks.I was put on medication and I don't have them any more.

Answer 2

been on anti anxiety meds for 3 years. they help but i just avoid going out or doing anything that stresses me out and now im a virtual recluse..

dont be like me...

apparently CBT is good, i went once but it was too scary to go in the end so i only went once.

i do the paul mckenna confidence cd which helps and yoga helped me too relax and all that bollox. hope u can get over it without things getting worse!

Answer 5

i get them too, just tell yourself that you're going to be ok and theres nothing around you endanger yourself, you should see a counsler

Answer 6

if this is an everyday thing, it may be an anxiety disorder instead of attacks (which usually aren't an everyday occurence).  it helped me when i was with my husband who could calm me down and help me take deep breaths and remind me that everything was going to be ok.

consult a therapist.

Answer 7

unfortunately, yes. I am fighting against them with the pills. but you have to find inside why you have them and try to be stronger. panic attacks aren't dangerous, but they annoy too much.
