Help me please!

I don't know what to do. I suffered from panic attacks around 4 years ago, and didn't have any problems since, but now they've come back all of a sudden! I've been feeling depressed recently (right around the time the clocks changed) and I live in a city and it's just getting really abrasive. I also have a history of acid reflux, so sometimes my throat feels bad cause of it and I freak out thinking my throat is closing. I've just been so sad recently combined with such a fear of my health, i've been to doctors and they say I am fine (except for the acid reflux) but I don't know, I just don't know what to do. Only my mom can calm me down and it's just getting crazy.
Any thoughts?

Hi samsam and welcome.

I am sorry that your anxiety has returned lately.:( You say that you had problems a few years back, and that until just recently felt good...what did you do to feel better 4 years ago?

Did you do any kind of treatment that gave you relief? If so, then revisiting that would be in order...if not, then looking into it now would be a good step. Therapy is a great option for anxiety management. It has helped me and many other members here so much.

We also have a great Resource Guide here that you can get some self-help tips from. It is located on our main page, 1st post, and the links to breathing and relaxation will really help to reduce your anxiety and panic if practiced daily.

I hope that you will find the answers that you need soon...and that you will continue to post and allow us to support you through your path to wellness.:)

Talk to you soon,

Scaredy Cat

Thanks for all the help everyone, such good tips. Yeah, I have found that talking helps my throat a bit, as well as crying. Sometimes it just feels as if all this emotion is bottled up and I just need to cry a bit and I generally feel better after.

It tends to come on if I am just sitting around for too long not doing much. Like I'll be on the computer and all of a sudden I'll feel sad and anxious. Any one else get that?
