    Need Opinions Asap!!

    That's what I'm afraid of. Sitting home and being like "wow I could be here having fun, etc" and making myself feel like crap sitting home. I just don't like the feeling of when the meds wear off. I feel very on edge and start to of course, panic

    Just Got Put On Xanax. Need Answers

    Thank you all for your responses. I did take one today as I had a major panic attack, probably the worst I've had which freaked me out. Even though I wasn't panicking anymore, I still felt on edge. First reaction, it makes me feel a bit loopy, my muscles are very relaxed and I feel a sense of...

    Major Suffering

    I am currently in therapy. She gave me some techniques. All work for a moment but a few minutes later I'm back where I started. Also attempted meditation. As soon as I feel relaxing and my heart rate slows down, I start freaking out. I think feeling my heart slow down reminds me of how I felt...

    Is This A Panic Attack?

    I don't even know what's what anymore. I've been pretty good the past few days. Today I was laying in bed sleeping on and off and out of no where felt a bit dizzy and my heart racing.

    Coping Skills Needed

    Thank you! Both responses are very helpful. My issue is, I don't really know why these attacks are happening. For example, my mom and I were at dinner tonight, in the middle of eating and all of the sudden I drop my fork and feel dizzy and being to panic. Nothing specific happened in that moment...

    Sufferer My Life In A Nutshell

    I want to go back because I truly love the music and with all the stress I've been under lately, between school, work, and my grandma passing away, I just need some fun in my life. However, I'm afraid going back will trigger anxiety and flashbacks from last years events. So I'm not really sure...

    Can't Figure Out What This Is. Going Crazy!
