Keep having anxiety attacks
 

help

BOO

not a mental illness i'm jealous of. narcissism seem pretty good on the other hand.

Medication and talk therapy is all you need.

psychiatric medications has never helped anyone, brain altering drugs that will turn you into a zombie. my left arm fell off when i ate prozac and now i'm happily insane instead of an undead creature.

gotta be other people here with this

yeah there are plenty, bardy, graveflower, mayfuck etc. what medications do you have?

Seriously though, a self-loathing death-wish is the easiest solution to anxiety.

Now dean, that simply isn't true. Millions of people are able to function somewhat normally with the aid of medications.

i thought we agreed that you wouldn't talk to me.

I never agreed to such a foolish thing. You are one of the only reasons I keep coming back to this place. We have more in common than you would like to know.

:)

no medication

self medicate.

know what i'm sayin

drink red wine

Breathe into a bag.

i think you can get something called benzodiazepines that sedates you a bit if you suffer from short, really problematic anxiety attacks. you can get addicted to them though if you use them irresponsibly. that's probably something you can get pretty easily. then there is the therapy bit where you talk with a person of meager intelligence who tells you what to do in order to reduce anxiety attacks, perhaps avoid thinking certain ways, doing certain things etc if you're too stupid to figure it out for yourself.

seriously though speaking from personal experience, having dealt with panic attacks for a long time, the only way i came to stop having them was to simply stop giving a fuck about anything.

go to a fucking doctor?

and maybe you have a depression of some sort which can be allievated with anti-depressant medications.

yes go to a fucking doctor

i also agree with going to fuck a doctor.

yoga. meditation. gym. anything to relieve stress.



red wine.

yes, get a psychiatrist and a talk therapist. psych can prescribe meds to help you. you could also do breathing excersizes and yoga. you are internalizing stress of some sort and it's manifesting itself in the form of a panic attack. you may not even know what is triggering it so go to the professionals. interview your docotors though, pick one that you feel a connection with. i hope you feel better soon! breath in breath out breath in breath out =)

"internalizing stress" that is some hookey shit

A game in which two parties of players, armed with sticks curved or hooked at the end, attempt to drive any small object (as a ball or a bit of wood) toward opposite goals.

I had one about a month ago, it was an horrible experience, I thought I was dying. The week after I had it was very though, my anxiety was a mess and my half a pill of tafil wasn't doing the trick. I'm taking lexapro and 2 1/2 tafils a day now. I'm also taking lithium to increase my level to 1.5 (my level was .2)

The only tip I can give you is to go see a psychiatrist or a therapist, inform yourself about the matter, anxiety attacks feel awful but are rarely dangerous. You should work on your breathing and relaxation techniques. If you feel like you are about to have one and start getting the feeling that you can't breathe, breathe into a paper bag so you don't hyperventilate.

Good luck with the anxiety.

this has been a very balanced thread. i am proud of the people who posted advices except thaniel buckner.

someone in my family has aspergers.

the first time i had one i thought i was having a heart attack. i called 911 and when they came my "heart attack" was over. i was kind of embarrassed. i told them i dont know what happened, it just stopped i guess. i was 21 or 22 at the time i think. it was the last day in my house, my parents sold the house and i was alone. i later came to realize it was me internalizing massive stress and it was a panic attack. i had one other one in my life and it was brief but i knew what it was that time so i was able to slow my breathing down and take deep breathes and say a few Hail Marys and it stopped. it's not fun to have those. some people i think have them often too. its really best to find out what's going on with yourself as soon as possible so you can feel better.
