I'm 15 & having anxiety attacks? Please help me?
Don't worry you're not the only one who is like this and the great news is you can overcome it! First lets start with not dancing for 6 weeks. I am sure that you will be doing stuff you have already learned and are probably very good at to review before getting back into it. Just think, everyone else probably hasn't danced since either so don't worry everyone will probably be nervous to be back! For the school thing I can definitely relate I have had an anxiety problem for about 4 years now and it all started in school. Every time I start a new semester I get really nervous because I don't know what to expect. Just brave the first couple days and you will get accustomed to the environment. It is like when you buy a pet fish and put it in your tank at home, it is really nervous in its new environment but after a few days it starts feeling more comfortable. Thinking about these things can help tone down the anxiety but sometimes more is needed. Have you thought about talking with a psychiatrist? It works for some people, not all. Also the less desired route would be medication to take, it would surly help but it is only short term use. Something else you could try is meditation/yoga not necessarily before your anxious event, just when you have free time. Just remember no one is looking at you or thinking about what is going on in your mind, no one can tell you are really freaking out. Even when we feel like people can read us, they can't. So if you are worried people will see you panicking, just remember they can't. I really feel for you because I know what it is like, if I had a direct answer I would give it to you, but I haven't found the answer yet. One thing I did was just give up on thinking about being nervous and just let it happen and not care, so whatever happened, happened.
I'm feeling like and anciety attack!?
It is called an anxiety attack! You have phobaphobia- the fear of having an attack and possibly of being embarresed in front of your family or friends. You may fear you are going to have a heart attack and die. Finally, you may fear that you are going crazy! You must find out what is going on. You don't need lots of drugs and expensive doctors. You need the knowledge of just what the causes are, or what may trigger an attack. Read the paperback " Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Dr. Claire Weekes. It should be in your library. Once you find out what is really going on, YOU will be in control. Some counseling, some xanax, and some reading, might be all that you require.You may expect this to take a year or two, but remember that YOU have the power to lessen the severity and frequency of these attacks. Note: stress is a leading cause. If you are always arguing at home or being bullied by someone else, it's time to find out, without paying shrinks thousands of dollars. They are probably crazier than you are. YOU have the POWER and you are your own worst enemy! Do it and give me 10 points.
What should I do when my girlfriend has an anxiety attack?
Don’t freak out. When she starts having one, acknowledge it immediately. Don’t sit there in silence and let her freak out, because that’s just not cool. Sometimes when I have an anxiety attack, I don’t know why it’s happening at first. It just happens. Try not to start grilling her with questions about it right away.When I have an anxiety attack, what works best for me is when someone just sits there with me. For example, one time I had an anxiety attack in class. Now, any high schooler knows that you can’t really leave class unless you have to go to the bathroom or are bleeding, and I wasn’t about to open my mouth and ask to go to the bathroom. My friend was sitting next to me, and he noticed almost instantly what was going on. He acknowledged it by putting one of his hands on my thigh, just resting it there, letting me know that he knew what was going on.When your girlfriend has an anxiety attack, don’t leave her, no matter what. The worst possible thing you can do is walk away and leave her there panicking. Stay there with her until it is over.I don’t know who your girlfriend is, or how her personality works, but as you help her with anxiety attacks you will slowly be able to learn to know what she needs. For example, I have one friend who needs to be held there. Just hugged tightly until it goes away. I have another friend that needs to be brought to a quieter place, and another who just wants to rest his head on someone's shoulder and feel their breathing so that they can steady themselves.There are all sorts of things that people are told to do for anxiety like distract themselves or move around or ground themselves, but everyone is going to be different. For some people, moving is the worst possible thing that you can make them do. So is forcing them to answer questions. Let them go slow, help them breathe easier.When their breathing starts to slow down, start asking her simple questions to help distract her. What is her name, where does she live, what is your name, what’s her favorite food, what’s her last name, etc. Simple things that she doesn’t have to think very much to answer, but will help her ground herself and distract from the panic.When she’s calmer, ask her why she thinks it happened, if she can tell you. Try and find out what caused it, so that you can help keep it from happening in the future.Good luck!
How to stop talking so fast from Social Anxiety?
I have social anxiety and I find that I talk fast a lot. I didn't think it was a problem until my grandma mentioned something to me about how I talk fast and my mom was like, "yeah no one can understand you." So now I feel really bad and I was wondering how I can stop talking so fast?
Where do I go now? No one will help me with my anxiety?
I have really bad anxiety... no one around me really understands how I feel and they end up screaming at me to get over it and toughen up... I try but I think it's getting worse. No one I know wants to help me and I feel so alone... my parents won't get help because they think I'm letting myself think this way but I can't help it. I can't and they won't listen... I just want to go somewhere I can relate to people and not be teased and yelled at for being jumpy and afraid of my own front yard. I seriously can't open the front door without my chest burning and my palms getting sweaty. I try talking to my counselor and teachers but I go to a religious school and they try to heal me by simply trying to pray it away... I keep hoping it will resolve itself but it's gotten worse... I'm at my breaking point and I'm cutting... I'm getting jittery and horrible thoughts are crossing my mind. I need help but I don't know where to get it... what do I do? I just want talk to someone who understands but I can't and I don't know what I'll do next... I'm so scared and I need to go somewhere but my parents just sent me to my room for thinking like this and so now I'm here asking for help. How do I calm down because I'm shaking and it's hard to type. Where can I go to get help because I need it now I think.
How do you know if someone is faking anxiety?
They will talk about it a lot and only talk seriously about it. They will be mad if you make a joke, and be able to do certain things easily. A test to prove if anxiety is real or not is to ask a few questions/favors.ask them to throw away your apple core in the middle of class, if they do it easily with little to no protest, there’s no anxietysay no to walking somewhere with them, refuse. If they beg, refuse and refuse. Don’t walk them. Make them walk alone. If they do the thing anyways, it’s probably not anxiety. If they don’t do it and use staunchly where you are, it’s probably anxiety.ask them if they’re ok. If they go on a rant about traffic, their own anxiety, or problems that seem insignificant they may not have anxietyonly call them out with fake anxiety if all these point to them being not anxious[edit] I know y’all are probably freaking out and screeching through your computer at me about “IF YOU KNEW AAANYTHING ABOUT ANXIETY U WOULD KNO THIS CAN GIVE SOME1 ANXIETY U SUCK!!!” Stop ranting for three seconds and realize I have anxiety, I’ve had it all my life. Most of the time if someone says they have anxiety it’s real, these are just ways to find out if it may be fake.
My anxiety is so bad tonight?
I have so many things on my mind. I have anxiety disorder and I am getting a panic attack and no one to talk to. I feel like I may have caused a big problem, I wrote something in a paper about the officers in my organization and I found out they are going to read all of the papers. I am also an officer and I have to deal with them. I feel like I opened a can of worms. On top of that, I forgot to indent a paragraph and they will see this. I feel like they may think I'm stupid. This snapped my anxiety. I feel like everything will come crashing down and I don't know how to calm my nerves.
I have problem. I have anxiety and get severe panic attacks and I have no one to talk about it to. I couldn't find any counsellors in Hyderabad. I have boards in March and unable to study. What should I do?
Why do you think you can't compose yourself to study?Well, Hydrabad is a city I've never been to and not know much about that place too so can't tell about good counsellors. But I have a suggestion for youand that's “start studing”. Once you start working in progress, your stress and pressure will itself reduce leading to lesser anxiety and thus your anxiety will get reduce as you go on working further.At the tine of panic attacks just tell yourself ‘don't worry,I am there for you. Everything will be fine very soon’. Take rest after every attack, go to sleep, even for 10 minutes is worth. Get back fresh and start studing. Keep a regular routine for your day from getting up to getting back to bed. Set study targets. Smaller at the begging and then go on stretching.Make a habit to study and rest of the problem will be solved itself.Stay blessed and happy…:-)
