I joined this site, because I see that theres very good and supportive people in here, ok, I'm 15 years old, since I was little I was scared of many things, until now I know that it is anxiety, I'm scared of forgeting how to breath or not needing to breath anymore or that my diafragm would stop, I've been thinking of taking medication like Prozac, but my mom won't take me to a Psychiatrist, I've been on therapy with a Psychologist, it is working, but I don't feel so good, so I'm glad of joining, sorry if I can't help a lot with others problems smilewinkgrin

Hi Siqnik, welcome!

You are right, there are a ton of supportive, nice people here so you are in good hands. :) Worrying about your breathing is a very common anxiety problem that a lot of the members here experience. It's great you're seeing a therapist, and if your mom agrees with your idea of getting on an anti-depressant, that might be a good option for you if you find therapy isn't enough.

Don't worry about not being able to help others — I'm sure you will be able to pay it forward in the future. :)

Take care, and I'll see you around the forum!

Welcome Siqnik,

Hope you find support and advice in this family site which can help you.Dont worry about not being able to help in present.

You might have to talk to your mom about seeing psychiatrist and going on a program.
I did not know psychologist can give a RX.
As both are far apart fields.
Anyways be mindful,post here and don't lose hope.
Good luck!!

Hi Siqnik,

Medication may or may not be something you need. I would suggest bringing this up to your Psychologist and see what s/he has to say. If your Psychologist feels it would be a good idea then you can have your Mother come in with you so there is a discussion with all three of you.

Hi

Welcome to the forum as you can see you will get support here from others who can relate to what you are going through.

Medication is not for everyone so I agree talking it through with your phycologist would be a good idea. In the meantime have a look at our resources thread for some great links to self help.

Keep us posted.
