After 20 years of severe anxiety attacks and phobias, countless doctors and multiple diagnoses, I have decided to try to do my own research. My symptoms are of such broad ranges and different physical and mental conditions may exist… So I have no way of narrowing down which go with which, which may cause some, so on and so forth.
I have constant anxiety and depression.
Severe muscle and joint pain.
Dizziness and vertigo issues.
Sensory overload/overstimulation.
Mood swings.
I had stopped having periods until recently when I had 3 months of regular periods (only after medication to start)
I cannot drive more than 1 mile away from my home without having a severe anxiety attack.
Hyperventilation.
Shakiness and check pain. (most of which I know is anxiety related).

I will not live another day of my life not knowing what all of this is and why.
I was resistant to medications, but right now, I’ll try anything.

Please respond only if you have something meaningful and helpful to say.

Be respectful.

Thank you.

I’m an alcoholic.. A functional one. I didn’t lose anything, I’m doing great at work and my wife loves me, however I do have a drinking problem. I love beer. I can control myself if I have to not drink, but frankly, I can count on my hand the number of days I didn’t drink in the last 10 years. Never really affected my life, as I tend to not get "drunk", but it’s really an habit. When I wash the car, when I watch a hockey game, when I go to the restaurant, when I play video game, when I sail my boat… I think there’s not one occasion that doesn’t "deserve a few beers". However, i’m able to not drink when it’s not appropriate, such as long road trip, or during work. But I’ll usually drink as soon as I arrive home. I can easily reach 8 beers in one night.

Now I’ve had a car crash 1 month ago (was sober!), and the car rolled over several time. My car was a convertible, my head hit the grass a few times while it was rolling over on the side of the highway. This caused issues to some of my cervical discs, C4-C5, C6-C7 and D2. (Inflation)

The pain started to create anxiety, and eventually led to some panic attacks. And well, I was prescribed Gavindo (300mg Gabapentin, and Vitamin B1, B12), to take every 12 hours, and from another doctor, I was prescribed 0.25 MG Xanax pills "BREAK THE GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" prescription.

Those panic attacks can get really scary so I don’t mind having the emergency pills, they have helped a few times, although my orthopedist wants me to pass through the anxiety attacks without the xanax, and handle it by myself.

Anyway, Both medicines (xanax and gabapentin) CAN’T be mixed with alcohol. And I don’t mind leaving alcohol.I think this is a good opportunity to quit, however, I’m already dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, so I’m afraid of the withdrawal symptoms. I’m reaching 3 days without alcohol, so far so good. Problems sleeping. I’ve red about the dangers of sudden withdrawal such as seizures etc… I’m really afraid of this. How "strong" an alcoholic do you need to be in order to suffer seizures, dt’s etc..?

Is quitting alcohol while working on my new anxiety attacks due to my back pain and car crash a good idea?

I’m really not sure what to do here.. I did not talk to my orthopedist about my alcohol problems. My HEAD is ready to quit alcohol. My MIND is ready to quit. But I’m afraid of what I can’t control, and that is PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS due to withdrawal.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PS: Sorry for my mediocre English, it isn’t my primary language.
Edit: I’m starting physical therapy to help recover from the injury tomorrow of course, and will talk about my anxiety and alcoholism with the doctor.

i’m 19…since age 11, i have overcome panic attacks, agoraphobia, then anxiety attacks (as a result of anxiety disorder), situational depression—i lived thru it all untreated. now i have pure-o ocd…i’ve been on zoloft since february, it gives me energy but idk..i only started therapy at school last september, but now i need a new one since i’m home for the summer

it’s so annoying because i feel like a big baby that i can’t just GET OVER THIS shit already. it’s so STUPID. no one i know is going thru this crap. i just wanna live a healthy, normal and happy life…

has anyone gone thru this – or anything like it – and OVERCOME? right now i just have no hope…i’m all "hoped" out…

I have anxiety attacks and sometimes have to go to the hospital for stroke like symptoms.. numbness, tunnel vision, black outs, cold/hot sweat, weakness etc. I finally figured out that it was my anxiety. but the last time it happened I was on bipolar meds and my hubby rushed me to the er because he said my lips were blue. it’s pretty scary. can I die from this if I didn’t have meds for it?

I have been looking at webmd, giving my symptoms and nothing seems to be helping me, maybe there’s nothing wrong.
But these are my symptoms:
-anxiety attacks including (but not limited to):
fear of stopping breathing
fear of fainting OR blacking out
fear of over/under eating
fear of possession (getting possessed by demons, etc)
fear of going insane

-weird dreams
-spacey behavior
-lack of interest in things
-no motivation
-lack of appetite
-fearful of white noise/music, in case it’s masking something i’m supposed to hear

i’m just waiting for something bad to happen all the time. i’m afraid my relationships are going to suffer because of this. for instance, if my boyfriend wakes up and finds me naked in the tub completely dry and for no reason sitting here typing on the computer, what is he going to think? why do i do random things and space out all the time?
I’m not afraid I’m going to die really, just afraid that no one will be able to help me and something "bad" will happen. I’m pretty sure that nothing bad is going to happen, but it lingers there and it’s really annoying. I’d just like to be normal. I’ll call someone eventually probably, but my boyfriend is around all the time and he thinks poor mental health is something that you create for yourself. How can I do this without him knowing? Or better yet, what can I say to him that will make him realise it’s not my fault, and I just need help to overcome it?
It’s REALLY annoying that I have to sit here with this all the time.

Since first grade my parents have known I’ve had terrible anxiety issues. And I guess after first grade it kind of not went away but was under control. So, we thought that was then end of it.
Back in September, I started to have really bad anxiety attacks and my parents took me back to a psychologist and we found out I had bipolar, which runs in my family. From September until January I had tried 5 different medicines, none of them really worked and I haven’t taken them since. I was okay with out them for a while, since they weren’t really to control depression issues but the manic side. I personally don’t want to take the pills because I don’t like how I feel when I’m on them, and the depression isn’t a problem right now. But since I think February my sleep cycle has been really messed up, when I was on meds. my sleep was under control. But I can’t sleep at night, and when I do normally get to sleep it’s around 5am. (Back in September my parents pulled me out of school because I had missed to much) I don’t think it’s insomnia because it will be like one day I won’t sleep at all, the next day I can sleep for over 14 hours, the day after that I’ll have normal sleep and then it will repeat. My parents have been worried, but since I have been getting work done and my sleep is the only thing thats really messed up they haven’t been pushing me to take medicine. My sleep pattern is starting to bother me, and I don’t want to have the constant changes in it.

To the question, are there any natural, or alternative treatments for bpd? Medicine right now is not going to be an option. I’ve been looking into alternative treatments, and some say a good schedule will help. Any tips on how to help get my sleep pattern normal again?

Thanks.

One of my friends frequently gets terrible anxiety attacks. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help her when they hit. I feel awful just sitting there and doing nothing. Is there anything specific I should or shouldn’t do?

I keep having what I think are anxiety attacks when something stressful happens. It can be anything to a friends having and argument with me( but only if it is unfair on me if i deserve it then i remain calm) or even just a hard class in college ( anything that involves numbers. I also get them if I am worrying about something that happened that day or that week of even years ago. I get really Dizzy, I get "butterflies" in my tummy. I get nausea too and I get very jumpy, for example, I was in the bathroom and anything scared me. I also get short of breath. The symptoms aren’t as severe as I think they should be but they are really scary and horrible.Are these anxiety attacks?

Im 18 and i have ADD and very bad anxiety. I have these horrible anxiety attacks that seem to come more and more often now. I take 30 mg of prozac and it doesnt seem to help. My pyschiatrist just keeps on upping the dosage but it still doesnt work. can anyone tell me what i should ask him to prescribe me or what i should do. i dont think he gets how bad these attacks are effecting me. What should i ask him to do or to take?

So recently I’ve been suffering with anxiety attacks, with the following symptoms:

- trouble breathing
- feel detached, like i’m not real.
- shaking
- fear of going insane
- nausea
- extreme fatigue
- loss of feelings/emotions
- easily irritated

I’m unsure what to do about it, it’s happened twice now. Should I talk to a doctor about it.. I’d feel kind of stupid and weird about talking about it. Any idea what I should do, is there some natural way of calming me down and getting me back to myself again when I have an attack?

Thanks.

I asked another question here on yahoo about how to calm down from anxiety attacks and they told me to first of all make sure that they are actually anxiety attacks. Like they said my body could be trying to survive from low blood sugar levels or something..

I’ve had Generalized Anxiety for some time. Recently, I’ve been stressed out about certain things in my life, and I ended up having horrible diarrhea for a week straight (lost 7lbs.!). Now, I have a horrible pain between my shoulder and my neck which feels better if I calm down, but every time I think something may be physically wrong with me, it goes right back to hurting again. Is there any way to take care of this issue without medication? My therapist is NOT good, so I’m changing counselors next week…but for right now, I don’t know what to do. Does anyone know how to stop an anxiety attack in progress? Do these sound like anxiety attacks to you?

Hello I started having anxiety attacks I guess about 6 months ago the first happened when I was working so I left work freaking out, as I was driving I had this overwhelming sensation to run my car off the road luckily I didn’t and a good friend helped me get through that first night. I thought everything was good but then I started getting chest pain one night which I thought was a heart attack so I had a friend take me to the hospital where they did all their tests and I turned out to be fine, they didn’t say it was anxiety that time because I wasn’t having any anxiety issues at the time, plus I didn’t even know that they could correlate or that that first one was an anxiety attack. Well months later I had the chest pains again but with the worst anxiety ever I thought I was dying so literally I was the crazy guy in the ER haha the one that everyone thinks is crazy because they are going crazy, well I turned out to be fine again and this time they saw the anxiety symptoms clear as day so they gave me xanex which kind of helps kind of doesn’t. My main problem is I have chest pains all the time I guess since I last went to the ER 2 months ago. When I say all the time I mean all the time I wake up and im good for like 30 min then they hit its mostly in my left side chest, back and arm if my girlfriend rubs these areas it helps for I little bit of time but they come back quick. I feel that I have really only had about 5 "anxiety attacks" since I got on the meds which I only take when I actually have an attack, but the chest pains are there all the time, I really am hoping some one has a suggestion on how to stop these pains they feel like tightness and sharpness and they spread all over my chest and back even all the way down to my wrist it really weird and its effecting my normal life all I want to do is stay in bed because i don’t feel it when I sleep. Last night I was out and all of a sudden it felt my like my heart fluttered with pain for a second and then I felt pain explode through my chest and back and for the first time into my stomach this gave a severe panic attack and the last day has been rough. All together I feel like im starting to miss out on things in my life because of it. I know this is long and drawn out im just hoping some people who have gone through the same thing can offer some advice on how they have have coped with these issues. At least until I can get in to see a doctor. Thank you so much.

For the past year I have been having anxiety attacks, because everything is stressing me out these days – school, dancing, etc. I’ll try not to go on about it, but I think it will help if I describe these anxiety attacks. I have dancing a few days every week. One of those days is Thursday. So during the day at school i’ll be fine, but this bad feeling will always be at the back of my mind and it creeps ever closer as the day goes on. I have dancing STRAIGHT after school, so by the time it’s last period, I start having an anxiety attack. There are two types. I may have either one.
#1= Paralyzing stomach pain. *Extreme* dread.
#2= Really really anxious and scared. Jumpy. Freaking out. Can not stay still at all. And I cannot stop talking.
This always happens… I’m just so scared that we’ll do something that I can’t do (or am not good at) (at dancing). That is a huge fear for me. I also get anxiety attacks about school if I have been away for long enough. Like I always have a minor attack after the 2 week holidays, but I am having a more major one right now because it is the end of the 6 week holidays. I have been away from school for 8 weeks however, as I got really really sick last year. It’s Wednesday, 2PM and I have school on Friday. I am FREAKING OUT. I’m so jumpy. And I’m freaking out even more because I have dancing TOMORROW after a 6-week break. How can I stop my anxiety attack? Just breathing slowly does not work! Help!
Sometimes it gets so bad that I get physically sick (which is what happened at the end of last year).
I can’t see anyone because I can’t afford that sort of thing and my parents think i just need to relax..

I was just wondering if anybody experienced anxiety attacks while under hypothyroidism and if it was normal to have. I have been on the medicine for about 4 years and just now started experiencing them. Should I stop taking my medication and see a doctor or is it normal to have? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
