She would often get the attacks which would cause her heart to race then she would get faint and pass out. When scenes like this occurred in Las Vegas restaurants I would forget my panic attacking problems and be very concerned with my wife. When she was not around I could have panic attacks uninterrupted because I did not worry about her welfare. Truthfully, mine happened while in crowds so avoiding those circumstances lessened my symptoms. One evening she asked me to take her for a neighborhood walk since she could sense an attack coming on and wanted fresh air. As we walked she got more and more faint saying Oh No, Oh God No! As she collapsed I threw a cup of cold water, I had been drinking, directly on her face and chest. That action shocked her, stopping the attack, she then said "Why did you do that?" That was in 1976, we continued to have the attacks throughout the 80's. Then in May of 1990 We met Jesus Christ who lives in me, protects me, lifts me up and has shown me how to make the demons run. For the last 18 years we have had zero panic attacks, praise God! Write me if you want to know more.<br><b>References : </b><br> My wife and I both experienced similar to what you’re stating.

I feel like I'm free falling. I began to shake and I to don't want to get out of bed. I don't take any meds at this time. The one thing that has helped me is to take long walks. Everyday I try to walk about three miles a day. So far its been the only thing that has eased them. I hurt my ankle a couple weeks ago and could not go on my walks. I noticed my anxiety came back full force. Once I started walking again I started to feel better again. Try any kind of exercise to ease them. Also omit caffeine and sugar from your diet. Take care and don't give up!<br><b>References : </b><br> I get anxiety when I wake up. I feel like I’m free falling. I began to shake and I to don’t want to get out of bed.

Panic is usually dealing with a new situation where the person lacks confidence .

No One gets into a car and speeds down the freeway on their first drive ( or 2nd or 3rd ) . Approach things at a more measured pace , Learn the ropes and gain the confidence to handle the situation . Also , next to no one teaches them selves to drive , So apply the same lesson to life . Sometimes you need a teacher to ride shotgun until you get adjusted . Panic IS normal for the novice , Learn & you will move past that . ><br><b>References : </b><br> Personally , drugs for panic attacks is just delaying the problem .

It is sometimes combined with drug therapy, but the drugs are used only short-term. The goal is to develop new ways of thinking so that panic/anxiety can be controlled without drugs. My wife had symptoms very similar to yours and she found CBT very helpful. Does she still get anxious sometimes? Sure, but she's better able to control it, rather than let it control her. Look for a therapist who has received specialized training in CBT.<br><b>References : </b><br> Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective in reducing generalized anxiety and panic disorder.

One thing tho is you dont mention no significant other, having someone to cuddle with once in a while or close enough to be harsh and get you off your ass does wonders for me, especially the cuddle part...idk something bout someone in your arms<br><b>References : </b><br> well im on lexapro and thats what i was going to suggest.

My bud Mel is great at calming me down, find a buddy who you can call when you feel crazy and panicky and listen to what they have to say when they say something helpful. Other than that, you may want to wait until after the situation passes that currently stresses you (finals) before you try to take the next step. And from me to you, hypnosis can be a bigger problem than relief, depending on what you're repressing. Good luck though, I hope you feel normal soon :(<br><b>References : </b><br> Find someone you can talk to about why you’re panicky like that.

However; recently I moved and I'm in the middle of finals in summer school and when I moved I found that I had a panic attack as well as feeling very anxious. I want to find a way, not just 'oh breathe'... but a new way to deal with it so I can live a normal life and not fear so much. I was wondering if anyone has tried hypnosis? If so, did it work... also I want to get off meds, so please don't recommend that. Also I want to find a way where I don't feel anxious pretty much all the time... I just want to feel normal. My anxiety gets so bad that I don't want to leave my bed... in turn I get depressed... PLEASE HELP!?! Any advice or ideas would be great! Thanks for taking the time to read this! I go to therapy... and I have been on meds, which work, but I don't want to rely on meds for my whole life... And even the meds don't control my BAD panic attacks like I had when I went to Japan... I need to fix this... anyone know about hypnosis and anxiety? And also, I do have a very supportive bf... but I want to be able to be strong. What if I'm on my own... I should be able to deal... and yes I am on lexapro... and Klonopin... and i have been for about a little over a year or so... and they've helped so much... but I guess I want to be able to get off of them eventually... and when will I ever know when the right time is...

I want to find a way, not just ‘oh breathe’… but a new way to deal with it so I can live a normal life and not fear so much. I was wondering if anyone has tried hypnosis?

My anxiety gets so bad that I don’t want to leave my bed… in turn I get depressed…

PLEASE HELP!?!

Any advice or ideas would be great!
