I have really bad anxiety and right now I am in the middle of my second - third panic attack today. I normally don't have more than one day, and they normally don't last this long. I'm not sure what to do, right now it is not as bad as it was about 10 minutes ago, if I was I couldn't type this but I really need to know if anyone knows anyway I can calm myself down. I can't take any medication and I can't seem to get myself back to normal. Please help, if I have another tonight I don't know what I would do.

Hi, kanar!

Have you ever visited with a medical professional about how you are feeling, please?

Thanks!

Yes, I go to therapy but I'm not sure why, it's not helping.

Panic attacks can be caused by imbalances of certain hormones. Why can't you take medication? Light therapy may help. Your therapist may be getting you through some tough stuff, causing you to really feel the progress. Or, a different therapist may be indicated.

I can't take medication because of my age, my doctor doesn't want to prescribe any medication unless it is absolutely necessary, but my mother doesn't want me taking medication because she doesn't believe me about how bad the attacks are. I really don't know what to do, because of my age am I supposed to just suffer?

My daughter is 15 and she currently takes medication for panic attacks,but when she was 9 years old she was depressed and she went to a therapist and phychiatrist who put her on zoloft which helped her a lot.you should be able to take a medication at a young age if a dr. knows how to prescibe it to an adolesant.no need to suffer in this day and age . Go to a school counciler also,you need help and don't give up and try to solve it yourself it only delays your agony,good luck. Your mom is in denial if she doesn't believe you,get help you deserve it!

I have went though what you are talking about. You can get though this and I will try to help you. It will take time but the sooner you start work
On this and the time you put in to it will make a big difference in getting better.
Understand Your present character is made up of countless thoughts, beliefs, habits,
Entertained and formed by you in the past. This character is expressed on your subconscious mind and is the cause of your present health, your present state of
Mind. Your mind is very powerful and like I just said your mind, what you think on
Will come to pass. Change the way you think and you can change your world.
Changing your state of mind by using your imagination to establish a new set of ideas
And thinking.The best and most quick way to do this is reform your thinking by saying
A strong affirmation to be repeated in silence and aloud to change your old pattern
Of thinking.Say this over and over get in your mind and believe it. "I AM HEALTHY,
STRONG, YOUNG, POWERFUL, LOVING, HARMONIOUS, SUCCSSFUL, AND HAPPY."
You think on each word and believe it for yourself. When any bad, fearful, thoughts
Come into your mind do not received it you have a right to choose what you think on.
From now on all your thoughts must be healthy, loving, positive. Get all unforgiveness
Out of your thinking. Don't let yourself think on any sickness, see yourself as healthy
Feeling good, think on what makes you feel good, you are in control of what you
Think on and what your world will be. I would like to know if you believe in the Bible.
Let me know what you think about this. What I have said here changed my life
For the better and it can yours. I will say more when I hear from you.
