Unfortunately I can't go more than every 3 to 4 weeks because I only have a certain amount of sessions free per year and there is no way I can afford it otherwise. I do have techniques for the anxiety, but depression wise I just can't seem to shake the feeling no matter what. And I'm so...

Thanks for responding guys. I have sessions with my therapist every 3 to 4 weeks, at the moment the cost is being covered by the government. My T is going away for 5 weeks at the end of May so she doesn't want to get into anything heavy because she doesn't want to leave me unsupported and...

Since I had to leave my job about 2 weeks ago I've been really down. I had to leave due to the high stress factor and it made me violently ill and made my anxiety and panic attacks flair up something terrible. I haven't started my therapy for the PTSD yet. But since leaving work and...

I've had pretty much had everything tested and everything is fine. I'm on medication, which I hate and wish I could get off, and I see a therapist too. I was going incredibly well until recently when the more physical side of the panic attacks started. I don't hyperventilate, but everything...

I've been having panic attacks for about 5 years. Mine are mostly mental. The fear is there and I vomit and sometimes shake, but it's a fear of going crazy not dying. Through therapy and other techniques I've been able to overcome those attacks. Except now I'm getting the physical attacks. I...

Thanks guys. Been feeling pretty crazy so that helps. I haven't started my treatment for ptsd yet so I had no idea what was going on!

I have these 'memories' of what I thought were old dreams. It would happen out of nowhere and in the middle of the day. I can't remember any of them but they feel so familiar and it's makes me very anxious. The memories are foggy and almost like my mind is trying to stop them from coming...

I used relaxation techniques, breathing techniques and grounding techniques. I don't anymore. I find that distracting myself or making the panic attack go away has not helped me at all. My biggest thing is for me is that I never wanted to learn to live with them. I wanted to get rid of them...

I can't handle any dark music anymore. I use to love rock and metal but I find that I can't listen to it because of the feelings it brings up

Thanks for your reply. It's not the the actual show that causes the worry. After I have watched said show everything around me seems unreal and I feel very detached. Then the panic starts. It usually takes a few hours to feel connected to the real world

Hey all. I'm Bek from Australia. 26 years old. Been suffering from depression since I was 14, panic disorder and GAD since 21 and diagnosed last year with PTSD. Quick back story. Mum died when I was 11, walked in on the paramedics trying to bring her back to life. Dad fell apart after that...

I seem to struggle pretty badly either disassociation, which turns into panic, when I watch a movie I get too involved in. Even watching too many episodes of a TV show or reading a book causes it. It's almost like a come down. I guess because I get involved in the TV show or whatever that...

And just quickly stay away from caffeine and especially energy drinks. They are not a friend for anyone who is having anxiety or panic issues. I don't drink alcohol either because it triggers my anxiety something shocking

I am so so sorry to hear how hard things are for you at the moment. With, what I am assuming is panic attacks, I did a bunch of therapy for them. Although it helped to a point, the best thing I ever did was go to a website called panicaway. It absolutely changed my thinking on panic attacks...

Thanks for replying guys. My mum died suddenly when I was younger and a friend was murdered when I was in my late teens. My dad also left me and my sisters on many occasions and went to England for months and and sometimes years because he couldn't cope after my mum died. We were left to...
