Stop Anxiety and Panic Attacks

They seem very similar to me.
I’m not sure which I have. I don’t mind talking one-on-one with people, but I get "stage fright" with groups of people.
I feel safe and secure with small talk, but I’m afraid of what it will become later on.

While both are similar, they vary in severity. Social Anxiety Disorder is general fear of being around people, while Avoidant Personality Disorder is fear of rejection or humiliation also.

When dealing with either, taking drugs is not a good way to solve your problem.
It is only temporary and doesn’t deal with the problem, only suppress it.
When the anxiety returns, you feel as horrible as you did before, maybe even worse.

Doctors constantly try to tell us we’re sick with something and often try to dismiss it by selling you drugs you don’t need to add more money to their wallet.

Don’t automatically diagnose yourself with something, you’ll only make yourself worry more.

Also remember that you’re not the only one stressing out, there are other people out there who may be even more stressed out than you about this subject, you might not even be able to tell!

In this day and age everyone is stressed out, with the media pressuring us all the time about problems in the world, going through school, or even going to work.

Talk to a friend you trust, or a family member, most should understand and try to reassure you.
Maybe all you need is someone to tell your worries to, that helps me a lot and sometimes they’ll open up about their stresses and you can reassure them as well.

Sometimes if you fear people or their opinion, just face them head on.
You might be surprised when people give you compliments or just want to be around you.
If someone says something negative, just brush it off and start again.

I want to hurt myself because I suffer from Anxiety and Depression and I feel like nobody understands or cares and my medication is making me want to hurt myself and I have never self harmed but I want to cut myself to see who cares and to show people how I hurt? Is this bad?

i think alot of people do it for that reason, its not really right because there should be other ways to find out who cares

hurting yourself is bad and gets addictive, and is very hard to stop

i understand why youde want to, and get your reasons, but please try not to hurt yourself, it doesnt make you bad to want pople to care, but people do care, doing this will just hurt you and might not get the affect that you want and people might just tell doctors or whatever

Throughout our lives, we experience a variety of different circumstances and situations that would result to us experiencing different kinds of emotions. Some situations can cause us to experience positive feelings and emotions such as joy and excitement. Other times, we experience situations and circumstances that would bring about feelings of loneliness, loss, sadness, fear and anxiety. Though we eventually recuperate from these negative emotions, the effects these situations and circumstances have on us can be so profound that it eventually affects us later on in our lives.

Fear and anxiety often make us have very similar symptoms such as muscle tension, increased heart rate and shortness of breath brought about by the body’s flight-or-fight instinct. It is no surprise then that for many of us, fear and anxiety pretty much refer to the same thing. But as far as psychologists are concerned, fear and anxiety are two completely different disorders that require different types of treatments.

Fear is referred to as an emotional response towards a situation whereby an individual feels threatened. The cause of the threat is realistic in nature. Oftentimes, fear towards a particular situation or event is brought about by a traumatic experience that the individual experienced earlier on in their life. The effect of this traumatic event is carried by the individual throughout his or her entire life so much so that when the individual finds himself or herself in a similar situation, he or she begins to exhibit the symptoms mentioned above.

On the other hand, anxiety is considered to be a psychological disorder where the individual experience symptoms similar to those that who face fearful situations or circumstances. The difference between anxieties and fear is that, unlike fear, symptoms leading to anxiety occur even though there is no apparent risk or cause for physical harm to occur. More often than not, the cause for the individual to feel anxious cannot be pinpointed. This is in stark contrast with fear where the individual can readily determine the root cause of their fears. Those that suffer from anxiety find themselves helpless and unable to cope with the symptoms so much so that it begins to interfere with their daily activities and interactions with other people. Anxiety is often one of the primary causes of other psychological disorders such as depression and personality disorders.

On the other hand, fear can often cause the individual to be empowered to deal with this and overcome this. Because they are able to determine the root cause of their fear, they are able to look into options that would help them overcome these fears and be able to live a rather normal life.

Bananas are said to reduce anxiety
Trying to speak to a teacher about how your feeling, maybe get a little help?

Im thinking about seeing one and would like to know what to expect. Thank you

First it´s important to look for the reason in the past and find the point when it started. Sometimes that´s enough to build a link between this experience and the feelings. If it doesn´t help, the next step is learning by doing. Go into the city and realise there is no real reason for the fears. Step by step, but not alone, because you must speak about your feelings.

hey everyone..ok its a long story but i will cut it down. basically a couple of years ago i went through a stressful time and ended up having a kind of breakdown i guess. i developed bad generalised anxiety disorder..so bad i actually became agoraphobic ( cudnt leave my house) which then obviously became depression because i was trapped inside scared of everything. ok well now i have managed to pretty much nearly overcome the agoraphobia, i can go out now, i have a great bf, social life back and started back to work part time but i still have anxiety. like i will still worry over stupid things that wudnt bother other people and i cant take it anymore. will it ever go? will i ever be the same again? i have a life back but im still unhappy and anxious. its like i just go through the day to day motions now. i just want to be back to the old me. will it come in time? i guess i just need some hope that i will overcome it. im 24
any advice is very welcome.

you need to go on anti depressants. the will sort you out. so make an appointment soon as possible.

I currently have no insurance and i recently went to the hospital to get treated for my panic attacks and they told me it was not life threatning. Any advice as to what i should do being that i don’t have any insurance or medicaid.

The ER will only take in mentally ill patients who are suicidal.

What you need to do is find a free or sliding-scale mental health clinic. You can find information about this online. Your county will also have information.

You can walk in to any of these clinics and tell them you are having a panic attack, and they will take care of you. They can also get you medication free or at a reduced cost.

As an alternative, you can find a clinic in your area with a sliding-scale fee. For the first visit, they are usually willing to either not charge or charge a reduced fee without financial information, collect it later, and adjust what you have to pay.

It is possible to do this without insurance or medicaid. It’s what my entire family and most of the people we know do.

Last month some time, I randomly got sick to my stomach just from seeing cereal. Then the past two weeks or so this has been happening more frequently, even with foods I like, along with nearly constant nausea, and occasionally a headache. What could this be from?
I have been slightly stressed out..and seemingly getting into arguments with everyone, I also have social anxiety disorder, if that could be a factor…but I’m not sure why this would randomly happen and build up like this.

These are the symptoms of pregnancy. But idk how old you are. I have social anxiety and I don’t have these.. But hormones cause arguments(mood swings) and nausea. Depending on if you’ve ever ‘done it’ take a test.
