I don't really have anything words of comfort but perhaps seeing a psychologist or a professional to help identify what's causing these anxiety attacks is a good idea.

Good luck Gav.

d--- man.. like I said I'm sorry you're going through all that, Anxiety is a b---- and it affects people differently, and certain things seem to trigger it. You may be Bi-polar also, which I go through that as well. Seems like certain things triggers yours, to the point where you wanna just smash s---..lol I used to be like that, but whenever u feel an episode coming on, just try to calm yourself for a min or two and do the breathing exercises. If the Ativan is having a negative reaction on you, ask for Xanax. There's really nothing that can be done beyond that I'm afraid, just try to be positive..and if things seem like they are getting worse..see if you can get a psychiatrist to help. I hope you can get over whatever it is you're going through, and experiencing..because I've dealt with the same s-----just stay positive, the most important key.

I don't know why I am even posting this here how ever I am just going to do so in hopes that someone f---ing can help me

This past couple of months have been legitimate h--- for me, I have really really bad Anxiety that just appeared out of nowhere, I throw s---, break s---, have complete emotional break downs over nothing and honestly think I am losing all hope / sanity.

Honestly not sure what to do, I feel like I'm eventually going to hurt someone around me or physically start hurting myself, the attacks last about an hour each and I am up to like three per day, nothing really specifically sets them off I just randomly outburst and explode...

I was put in hospital because I was almost unable to phisically get up off the floor.

The doctors said go home, you're going to be worse here.

No s---, people were screaming in there, needing real help

So I went home and with no help just decided I have to do something, focus on something to do daily, whatever it is make it something different that you wouldn't usually do but would enjoy, go out, take a walk, get some air, breathe, you're not going to explode.

I found focusing on something helps some, you won't like it but it might never go away, hopefully it does and you just forget about it.

Actually the more you think about it the more you're letting it take over, usually your mind is either too active or not active enough.

Many so called professionals will tell you to try CBT, personally I found that useless since it's just common sense and I figure if you can think for yourself then you probably already know everything any CBT book will tell you.

Why? Because you know how you are, you know how to calm down and only you.

Skip forward some time possibly a few years and out of nowhere after forgetting all about it I wake up one day like I was hit with a hammer (not literally, thats how the jolt felt), I couldn't talk and had to find the closest person to literally just be with me whilst I did something, it could have been anything but I auto-pilot'd to shaving, the whole time being unable to talk, get any words out or stop shaking, feeling I was about to leave this life etc

Eventually it subsided, it was almost other worldly, I've never felt so f----- up, I don't know why that happened or where it came from but I won't forget it.

Forward again some time and the doctor got me to try Sertraline like it's nothing, I hate pills so I took 2-3 days before considering actually trying one, f---ing wrong move.

I took one, ONE!

It gave me a week I will also never forget, this so called safe medication to help keep you feeling better gave me a trip from h---, I was forced into not being able to move factor than a snail, when I did move it was like being in slow motion literally.

I told the doctor and they said that family of drugs is to stay away from in future, no s---, actually I'm sensitive to medications.

Again I'm left to deal with it myself so I've cut down half the s--- I did in life for a while, slowly started doing things again until I can better cope.

Everyone has their own fair share of life to deal with, you just need to work out what works best for you.

I'm not sure any of that helps you and honestly I didn't read all replies yet but I will.

Try and stay positive.

Edit

I had the same tests as theg, no findings, thats when they said go home.

Ecg's, Ekg's, some other stuff I don't remember.

Edit

Sounds stupid but try to do what makes you happy, watch movies, play games, make music, hit the gym, usually that works for me and many others to help ease things.

Edit

If you're going to Google symptoms be careful and tell yourself if you're going to look through search results then not to read straight into the serious things that come up, it's highly unlikely those are whats causing your condition.


Just remember you're ok, nothing is happening to you aside that your mind is racing, it's not going to last and will be over soon.

It's funny that actually if you were thrown into a situation which you needed to deal with, you probably wouldn't feel like you do, yet when you're sitting still it just comes on which should tell you it's not as serious as it feels.

Yea I got diagnosed with it about 5 years ago when I went through some tough times personally but I never found it crippling or anything. I used to get anxious before interviews or meetings with clients or whatever but I just found powering through it worked. That stopped working though a few years ago when I had another troubling time and ever since its just kinda there. Idk. Its weird. I can have legit anxiety/panic attacks.

The other week my asthma (which rarely affects me so i dont have emergency puffers or anything) kicked in on a ritalin come down and i couldn't take a really deep breath, which lead me to google about breathing exercises which could help open my lungs up, but then the first thing I saw was that it was a symptom of a heart attack which really f----- me up too so then I started reading all of the other symptoms and one by one after reading them I started thinking I was feeling them. Got a ride to a hospital and by the time I got there my left hand was completely locked up and seized 100%, it was like all the muscles contracted at once and crumpled my fingers up into a little ball. I told her I thought i was having a heart attack and she said that while you can get numb in your left side of your body it doesnt usually tense up like that and you can usually still move it, so anyway I got an EKG and they said my heart was fine and it was likely that I just gave myself a severe anxiety attack. s----s not fun. That the worst one I ever had but I had another one recently too where my legs just buckled because I thought something happened to a really good friend of mine, couldn't breathe and my legs just went numb and I almost collapsed. Its hard as f--- to judge. I got ativan but I dont really find it does much for general anxiety day to day, its more of a thing to take when you feel an attack coming on i think. Idk how to deal with it tbh other than just powering through it but that's s--- advice that I'd hate to hear if i was asking for help so sorry.

I suffer from anxiety as well, for like 7 years now. Im on medication for it and it keeps me from having panic attacks and meltdowns. Best thing to do is talk to a psychologist and psychiatrist so yall can have a collaborative regimen to treat it. Anxiety effects people in different ways so its important to be in tune with your body and communicate everything you feel

Don't know if this is any help to you but I'll share anyway. When my sister was in high school I remember she went through s--- like that. Not as much the violence but the extreme anxiety. My whole family was Home Schooled up until HS and she didn't handle the transition well. It f----- up her regular life too. She used to go out on jogs in the woods behind my house by then she got paranoid and stopped. She had a summer job at a camp but she quit because she became anti social. She had like zero friends but then she started meeting with someone and got on some meds (she tried a couple but they didn't work, eventually she found one but I am blanking on the name) and by sophomore year she was chilling and only talking with someone a couple times a month. Long story short, I think it's just about finding your way of dealing with things and getting help from a professional. This was all second hand experience so I could be totally in the wrong here but I figured I would try to help. Hope you get over this
