Stop Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Hi, I’m looking for my first summer job, but I suffer from a strong anxiety disorder which limits a lot of options. My psychaitrist said a job is good to give me a sense of responsibility and confidence, but I don’t think I can handle the job. I would love to know if anyone who went through similar situations have any suggestions?

Thank You

I can relate to your situation as a person with a disability. I was so nervous about my first job as a summer school tutor, but it turned out to be a great experience. You could contact your local center of independent living because they have tons of employment information and resources. If you like animals, you could try getting a job working in a dog kennel. Another idea would be to try working at an equestrian therapeutic riding center. If you think you might like to try your hand at starting your own business, that’s also an option. There’s some great easy to start business ideas here: http://teenmoneymakingideas.com/20-good-ideas-for-teenagers-who-want-to-start-their-own-small-business-during-the-summer-to-earn-money/ Personally, I love animals but have recently started doing some freelance writing and web design freelance projects. Good luck!

What is the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack ?
I’ve been suffering from panic attacks and wanted to find out more about it and how it links with anxiety attacks.

Thanks in advance.

I’m definatly no expert and to be honest, ive had my fair share of anxiety.

Take anxiety as the feeling of not wanting to go to work tomorrow because your fearful of what your boss may say about your work, take panicing as the feeling of being in that situation and feeling a sudden state of adrenaline and wanting to flee the situation

As you may know, theres a difference between panicing and anxiety, anxiety is usually described as an overwhelming fear or can be a long term worry. Panicing is usually a state where by the person will feel overpowering anxiety and will usually feel extremely fearful and want to get away from the situation as quickly as possible.

So, the main differences between a panic attack and an anxiety attack i would say are the intensity of the two. Panic attacks usually give you a rush of adrenaline and gives you that urge to flee from the situation, anxiety attacks can sometimes be described as the same, but sometimes just described as sudden feeling of fear or depression from fear without the feelings to flee or evade the situation.

I hope this helps.

Anxiety is a word used to describe feelings of uncertainty, hesitation, nervousness or fear and is usually context related.
Before treatment the first question we ask someone who tells us they ‘have anxiety’ is usually, ‘how do you know when to be anxious?’

Some feel anxiety when talking to strangers, some feel anxiety when giving presentations, some get anxiety driving on a motorway. A few will say they get anxious feelings all the time.

Anxiety has a pattern
There is, in our experience, always a pattern to anxiety, it is not random. It is often associated with depression. The way we help stop anxiety is to treat it as a learned behaviour. Indeed, it is said that the only two fears humans are born with are those of loud noises and falling – the rest are learned (albeit unwittingly).

Because the human brain learns so quickly, it is often possible to literally rapidly ‘re-condition’ the learned response of anxiety or depression so that the next time the person is in a situation which previously made them feel bad (anxious), instead they feel more resourceful and capable.

JustBeWell has clinics worldwide, so do get in touch for help.

ive tried zoloft which gave me hypotension , and paxil which was too scary to stay on for a long time and celexa which was horrible..any other got stories.?

lexapro cause awful gastrointestinal problems and prozac made me crazy but i love welbutrin i think its the best…

I suffer from somewhat severe social anxiety and occasional depression. However, anxiety is by far the my main problem. I’ve been prescribed zoloft and prozac to treat depression and anxiety but they ended up making me feel more anxious. So I decided to go off those medications and I am not currently taking anything.

I’ve never been prescribed adderall but at school I would occasionally take some to do homework. Whenever I took it, I felt amazing; all my depression and more importantly my social anxiety went away. And I didn’t feel "high" on it, I felt normal. I feel like when I’m adderall, that’s how I should always feel.

Has adderall ever been used to treat anxiety disorders? Or may this be an underlying sign that I have ADD?
ADDENDUM: I’ve done some research on adderall and what’s odd is that anxiety is a common side effect. If this is the case, why would my anxiety go away? Shouldn’t it make me more anxious?

I have the exact same condition you do and I was also on both prozac and Zoloft. I remember zoloft being very helpful but also had a lot of side affects.

I started taking adderall about a year ago. At first, I had the same result as you, my social anxiety was greatly reduced. However, your body developes a tollerance to adderall. I had to keep increasing the dose every so often and was up to 50mg. Like all drugs, adderall also has side affects so I had to cut down. When I did, the social anxiety came back and stayed regardless of the dose. So what you are feeling is temporary and probably wont last more than a few months.

It might be that you have ADD and so are unable to concentrate on your cognative thinking during social situations. Regardless, I doubt ADD or ADHD could be the direct cause of your social anxiety. Adderall does make you more active, which is why you feel so good. Just remember adderall does have long term side affects. You should talk to your doctor and tell him/her about your experience and he/she will know what to do. Hope this helps
