I have suffered from panic attacks for about a year, and didnt have any for about six months until recently. Ive suffered about three this week alone. I try my best to focus on something else and can control them to a certain extent, but we are due to go on holiday on weds and im terrified im gonna get a panic attack on the plane and will freak out, because there is no escape.
Im getting anxious just writing this thinking about it!
Any one got any ideas to get me through this??
I know it is mind over matter, but this is easier said than done. I normally get them in the car, and can pull over and just get out, what the hell am i gonna do in a plane??
Oh my god im cracking up!
Is there any medicaton I can take, or herbal remedys?
I am suffering from quite bad ones, and they are starting to affect my life. They are so distressing me and keep making me think I am going to die or that I am going crazy. They are both mentally and physically draining. I am medication for them, but this makes me drowsy and lightheaded, and often nauseas. I have started to avoid going on nights out as I am scared that I will have another.
I have been experiencing bad anxiety lately. I feel like I can’t drive or travel because I think I will stop breathing or pass out. I used to be fine. Get on a plane or go on a road trip, no problem. I am now making excuses to why I cannot go places. I am missing appointments with clients. It is getting bad. I have had panic/anxiety for about 18 months. It just recently got worse in the past 5-6 months though. Anyone have this experience? If so, what did you do to stop these problems? Any books or programs that worked for you? Something besides meds? I don’t want to miss out on anymore than I feel I already have.

I’ve been facing an anxiety disorder with panic attacks for the past year and a half. I’ll be taking a 2 hour flight next month & I haven’t flown in a long time.
I take medication, but I’m not sure that it will be enough.
Any advice or helpful tips that I can use to calm myself down about this?
i have anxiety attacks about dying.. and its really hard for me to tlk to people about it cuz i have one while im tlking about it
I can get these anxiety attacks about death how do I deal with it. I know I must sound like really freaky but it just comes to me and happens… I have an ultra fear about death….
Lately I have been having anxiety attacks at school, but i haven’t really told the teachers what’s wrong and what to do if I have one in class and stuff. my mom doesn’t think that I should tell anyone, but I disagree with her. I think my teachers should know so that if I have one in their class they know that I am not having a heart attack or stroke or anything. Do you think that I should tell them or the nurse, both or neither??
– thanks in advance.
