ok, ive always thought about my breathing, and when i think about it(which is way to much!)it feels like i have to change the way i breathe to breathe regularly. Well Ive always though i had a generalized anxiety disorder, but now i KNOW i do. I was home alone today(this ussually makes me more anxious)and alot of bad thoughts were going in my mind(my bad eating habits, my possible gad, my breathing etc). and i tried tro black them out while playign guitar hero. guitar hero made it worse. THe game made me think about my breathing more. When i stopped, i eventaually had my first panic attack after trying to calm down by going to sleep(made it worse after 1 second trying to fall asleep). So i know why and how i had a panic attack, so how do i stop it from happening again? Im afraid to try to go to sleep tonight because of it. Im in shock, and keep on wondering "why did that happen to me" and " did that REALLY jsut happen?" I just want to never have 1 again(it was my first one).

How to overcome anxiety,depression and panic attacks? I am so hopeless. Ive been suffering with depression and social anxiety with intense panic attacks for three years. I think I had anxiety for longer than that but I wasnt depressed or had panic attacks. My last three years 18-21 I spend staying home,best years of my life something needs to be done.I dont have any friends anymore. I feel like crap. I had major panic attack today even going to Grocery store.I can’t even stand at the red light I think everybody is looking at me.When stranger talks to me I just freeze like paralyzed,start shaking,trembling,my mind and heart racing,sweating,my mind goes blank and I just want to scream on the top of my lungs. I started avoiding social situations at all cost. I even feel panicky talking to my family or relatives. All day long bad thoughts running through my head. How can I beat this plz,any one ,because this is not a life this is hell,any info really appreciated.
