I was doing good for about a week only having about 5-10 a week compared to constant attacks. I wish my doctor appointment was already here I was suppose to have it last week but my doctor had a death in family and rescheduled me for a month later . She's highly recommended and I really need help now though. I constantly think that I'm going to die from the most ridicoulous things. I'm highly smart and score high on test and everything. When I have a panic attack I just can't think clearly until afterwards and I realize how ridicoulous I sounded. I just don't know how to get rid of these attacks. I can't work because of it and I don't even like going doing anything in public anymore because I'm going to have a bad attack. My throat closes up when I'm in public a lot. I don't even want to hang with friends because I don't want to leave my house. I fear I'm going to lose them I'm becoming scared to drive and everything. They know and understand my anxiety very well and are understanding. I have good support systems around me but I just fear there going to give up on me. I have been in a battle with anxiety, depression, OCD for a decade now. I'm also bipolar so I have my highs and lows. I just have bad anxiety now . I don't know why I am so stressed I don't work nor do I do much besides go to college. I'm sick of this battle everyday with myself. I just want some normalcy back in my life where I can hold a job down.

I am sorry that you are having such a rough time lately.  I understand how horrible the attacks can be.  There is hope for recovery though.  I am proof.:) 

Until you can get into to see your doctor, try doing these exercises regularly. They can really make a difference if you do them everyday.

These are just a few of the self-help ideas in our Resources...you can find more in there, or look up more instructional videos for shutting down a panic attack on youtube

The point is to find something that allows you to feel pro-active in dealing with the panic, and finding relief in taking an active role in managing the anxiety.

ILJ, these therapies that SC has given you work, all you have to do is exercise a little self discipline, a slow
start, small steps, in a short while you will be running. Most of these if used regularly will block bad attacks
and make the rest manageable. One more thing, no one has ever died from PAD, so don[t try to be the first!
You are one of our Family now, we care, stay in contact, even reach out to someone you think you can help.

I have been exercising regularly which was helping but all the sudden it stopped. I mainly panic at night and I would work out so I can go to sleep early . I ride my bike for an hour or dance for
The most part. I just tried the breathing exercises and there working to calm me down. I'm thinking of trying yoga and seeing how that helps. Has anyone else done yoga and it helped there stress? I'm willing to give anything a shot.
