I have generalized anxiety disorder.

@joeytaylor21 The best way to stop anxiety attacks, or at least ride them out better, is to simply not get upset with yourself whenever they occur. DON'T EVER get angry about it, or be afraid of having panic attacks. That level of anxiety only gets reinforced by a person's fear of experiencing it. If anyone else notices that you're in distress during an attack, just try to breathe deeply and smoothly, while kind of laughing it off as no big deal. DON'T HATE YOURSELF FOR HAVING TO GO THROUGH IT.

Everyday is like this now. I have not been diagnosed with anything, but I haven't seen many doctors yet. I go on hunger strikes, and I have gone without eating for days at a time. I am worried that I will end up killing myself. I have held knives to my stomach. I am afraid to tell anybody. The will end up locking me up in a mental fecility. my parents think I am just lying for attention. And I'm scared.

I have a social anxiety and it's taken over my life. I'm 23 and didn't go to college because of my anxiety. I'm currently out of work.

I'm getting help. I know I have repressed emotions that I NEED to release.

im a 15 year old boy that has just recently getting anixety attacks. It started last weekend (feburary 25th 2012). i had my 1st anixety attack at my 1st valenines dance with my girlfreind and i had to leave. my hands were sweaty, i couldnt breath correct, i could not stop thinking, i even had a flashback. i had my second anxiety attack today at my lunch time. i felt like i was worthless and i wanted to hurt myself or even somone else. is there a way i can stop :(

I am 15 and just last year I started having panic attacks. It was so strange to me. It is hard to explain, but I start breathing heavy and one time I bust into tears. I didn't even know why! It is scary because I have no control over what I am doing. I feel like the walls are closing in I get really hot and I start shaking. I stutter really bad when I have panic attacks. I tell myself to stop, but I can't do it! It is hard to have these kinds of disorders, but I know I can get through it :D

Thank you always for your infinit hope & help. I have been suffering anxiety attacks since last summer and I believed It was the end of my life and God had forgotten me. I believed I was losing my wife & two little doughters. But God always heals and there is hope now as you say with correct medication. Seroxat is my new friend. God bless you always & forever. You are a precious wonder & hero. God must be very proud of you. Keep shining. Your friend from La Rioja. Spain.
