I tend to suffer scary panic attacks whenever I go a place that is indoors apart from home, e.g. a shopping mall.
As time goes by though, it seems to get worse and it’s getting to the point where i get a panic attack, just by being out anywhere apart from home, before, it used to be just places like malls or restaurants.
I don’t know what to do about it, so i was just wondering if you can help me and maybe give me a suggestion on what to do.

I am 16 and I have suffered from anxiety for about 10 years, as a kid I would get very anxious about going to the cinema/theatre, eating at restaurants, eating at other peoples houses and going to new places.
I then started to get anxiety attacks every single morning and effected my school life so I would just be naughty. I am now in the last year and I’ve been getting excluded & it’s causing me to have panic attacks.
Our school has an internal exclusion room with cubicles but I cannot sit there because of my panic attacks but the teachers aren’t taking notice so they exclude me. My mum has rang up but now has to write a letter.
I went to the doctors last week and I think I’m going on medication.
Anyone know how to deal with this kind of stuff or had any other symptoms?

started having panic attacks about 15 years ago. They have gotten worse over the years. I have been taking Xanax 1.5 mg and Zoloft 100 mg for about 8 years. I honestly could not function without the Xanax. It is a life saver! However; even with both meds I still have episodes almost everyday. I always get myself out of the situation in time tho before I have a full blown attack. I am so tired of living this way. I avoid restaurants and places that I know I might have one. I have been in therapy before but it didn’t seem to be helping. Does anyone have any advice for other treatment? I want so bad to live a normal life. I am tired of this disorder controlling me. I have even thought about hypnosis. Please help.
The problem is…I KNOW they are attacks and I KNOW there is no real anger. Believe me I have tried everything. When I start having one I tell myself that nothing bad is going to happen and there is no danger around and that its just snother stupid attack. But it doesn’t go away…it isn’t as bad but it’s still there.
