Is this a anxiety?

Question

I have a panic disorder which is the worst ever. The slightest knock,or bark of my dog my heart beats like crazy. If a car I hear seems close to my house I get scared.. I also don't like to talk to people unless they come up to me,I don't even wanna go to school with all the kids I would rather be homeschooled,when I started a new school a year ago I was in a assembly and with everyone staring at me I started to have another panic attack,I feel very uncomfortable. I was prescribed pills that are depression pills. Is a panic disorder anxiety or do I have both?

Answer

It sounds like you have panic disorder which is an anxiety related condition.  I suffer with anxiety and depression and the antidepressants have really helped my anxiety. They are prescribed for psnic disorder too.

I'd recommend CBT. It's really helpful and also if you look on Amazon you can get books on anxiety etc by Rob Willson. These are very helpful.

If it's mild I'd go down the therapy route but if its severe a combination of therapy and antidepressants are best.

Don't forget the tablets can take up to 6-8 weeks to work so persevere and remember you may get worse before you get better.

Try not to avoid situations which make you uncomfortable - this will not help long term. The CBT will help you.

Remember you are not alone - so many people feel like you do.  You will get better in time.

Take care of yourself and don't bottle up how you feel - talk to family and friends if you can and a therapist xxx

Answer

I know this sounds crazy but it really helped me. I had a rough childhood and as a result developed anxiety and depression. I would have random panic attacks that would make it difficult to breathe or think. But I had a coach take notice of me and asked me to try out. I did and it really helped me release that energy. Soccer saved my life in highschool and I'm so glad I broke that barrier.

Answer

If you looked at me you probably wouldn't think I had this disorder. At my old school this girl use to be really rude to me and I was only there for like 2 weeks till we moved and I went back to my old school that I still don't feel very comfortable at anymore:( People may think I'm stuck up,but it's this disorder I'm extremely shy when someone I know says my name or anything I just smile like I'm just not that type and I don't look like the shy one
