Do you have panic attacks?

Question

Do you have panic attacks? If you do, how do you deal with them? Is it hard going through everyday life with them? I am 14 and I'm at high school and panic attacks are a huge part of my life. They scare me and effect my everyday activities. Any advice?

Answer

I dealt with them in jr high I used to have them bad during class and instead of nurses office I would go to the counselors office. She would sit ms infront of a fan and have me close my eyes and count backwards. Gave me great advice on how to deal with it, you can find a hobby go walking anything that keeps your mind off it when you feel it coming on and as experience it sounds easy to do them things to keep your mind off it but it takes time to actually control you panic attacks. I started having them at 13 now I'm 22 and I can pretty much control mine but it took me a while before I got to this point and every once and I while I can't. Good luck I hope this helps

Answer

I've only had it once, last semester (it's my 4th year in university) so I don't really have much experience with actual panic attacks. But I have the worst anxiety. To the point where I am constantly nervous, sweating, hands shaking etc. Id recommend to ask your physician if you should go on any medications. My only worry with that would be that you're so young.

Answer

Go to see your physician and talk to him or her about it. Ive had anxiety for years along with a few other disorders. You should start to take care of yourself and take control them now so you can get medicine or help for what you need. Good luck!
