Effing Panic Attacks

I've been having them all my life, and recently, it feels like I've been having a month long panic attack. It's only about one thing, death. I have a big fear of it, and when I think about it, I panic. My heart races. My mind rushes. I freak out, and I just have to go hug someone. I can't sleep cause of it.
 
Have you tried seeing a therapist? Medication? Nearly constant, furious masturbation?

I'm pretty sure death is a ways away for you. Hopefully.

Try some new routes.
 
Well, talk to a therapist. Get some Xanax. Try more natural means, I'm sure there's tons. Go to the library and get a few books. You know, that shit.
 
Well I've been trying to do some research on it a bit, I've found some answers. But what gets me feeling good is just talking about it to someone. But I don't really like people to know about it. And I can't just open up to someone like that.

I dunno how to explain it.
 
:o Lol, I didn't say I wasn't trying. It's a slow process for me, I talked to my father about it. I'm gonna ask him if I can go to a shrink or whatever sooner or later if nothing happens with it.


Thanks for the help aswell.
 
Pfft. I know a lady, a friend, who suffers from the same thing for the same reason. It goes back to a car crash she was in, then they started. She tried tons of things, you know what works for her?

Smoke the pot.

That is all, oh, and this is not a joke. I'm being actually serious. Though she may smoke a bit more than you need to, being a woman and all. heh.
 
Haha, I've been thinking about it, boy have I.

I just dropped the "habit", if you can call it that. I used to smoke some every couple to few weeks, not too much. But, seeing the problems my brother has had, I stopped. But I guess it's all about control.

I'll give it some consideration. :D
 
Slack, drugs will only help if you get a good doctor to prescribe them. Just remember, deep breaths, water, etc. Do things you enjoy doing to keep your mind off of negative thoughts. Google what you're going through so you can get the best advice as fast as possible.

Showers are stress relief, believe it or not. Take a warm bath some time. Whatever you can do to relieve stress without complicating things, go for it. Just try not to think of whatever makes you panic. Distract yourself, but not in an OCD type of way.
 
I have that problem. I'm 21 years old and I still can't think about it.

I've learned to recognize when I'm getting to that point of panic and i force myself to change my train of thought, or if my husband is there, to have him talk to me about our daughter.

I've found music helps, too. Mozart helped me the most, but I found Handel and Bach soothing as well.
 
Maybe you're getting the attacks more frequently because you just quit smoking. Did you quit recently? If so, then that could be why. I used to freak otu about death too. I'm as over it as I can be but give it some time. I hope you feel better soon.
 
Like the Psycho said, the right type of music can help alot in relaxing you, and getting your mind off of the stuff that freaks you out.

I'll say one thing: DO NOT go to alcohol to try to help the situation. I'm a fairly heavy drinker, and if I'm in a bad mood when I start drinking, I know to stay away from people, or I can go crazy pretty quick. Even if I didn't have anything against anyone around me at the time. Alcohol can also worsen a depressed state of mind, to where you may even consider suicide. So unless you already know how to somewhat control your state of mind when drunk, DO NOT go to alcohol as a solution for your problems.

Even though I don't smoke pot myself, I will agree with whoever said to use it to relax and get out of your depressed state. I've seen it totally settle people down and just make them chill out, when they were ready to go nuts.

That's about all I can say, dude. Hope you find some way to work this out! Good luck!
