it started when I wad in grade 8 when I started to breath weird I went to the hospital about 4 times until they knew what was wrong I went throught so many tests !! and finaly a doctor told me it was aniexty ! and he gave me pills for it

ever since I was little I was known worry.. and throughout my elementry life I got teased! so that's what my parents think that trigered it! the first year I had it I never ate !! I weight 90pounRAB!! I also started to get fears that I never had before like hights .. open spaces .. sometimes closed spaces!

I'm 19 now and I still have it an still on my pills! I do still have the same fears where if I was in a high place like going down the stairs from the 3rd floor or if im going to the mall I will feel scared or insecure and feel like I have to hold on to someone! I'm not sure how to control that

I have a boyfriend now ! and he knows what I'm going through! but know I find that I worry about him too much like if he is not home I worry !! and I hate it!! because sometimes it causes fights! also I get the feeling that I need to hang out with him! it's a feeling in side that I get if I don't hang with him something is going to happen or the feeling that he is going to leave me! no matter what I do to try to get my mind off of it ! it just comes back! it's hard for me to explain my feelings and sometimes I hate my self of how I act! I don't know what to do!! I notice that I cry a Lot more and I'm very emonational ! I'm glad that my boyfriend is there for me and trys to help me calm down and not worry!

it's like controling my life and I'm tried of it! it pisses me off and I don't know what I can do ! thank for reading !! of anyone has adivce that would be great too!!
 
I am so sorry you are afflicted with this, and you are so young to have to be dealing with it.

I have anxiety myself, since childhood all the way to now. It is hard to live with, the constant worrying, the panic attacks. I am glad you have supportive parents and a supportive boyfriend as well.

Have the meRAB helped all this time?
Mine help me to the best extent they can--they keep my anxiety attacks under control. Do you have those also? If so, I have a couple of tips for that.

I am so sorry you have to deal with this! You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Post here and we can all support and listen.

Hang in there honey..........:)
 
thanks so much! yes I do have panic attacks! and the pills I am on keeps them under control but I still get them!
I am really glad that ou have wrote back! sometimes it feels like no one can understand where I am coming from! thanks again I would love to hear the tipes!
 
It does feel like you're alone with this stuff, but, we're not--it's just nice to find others who can understand.

I take med's for the panic attacks, also. But, have you tried deep breathing when you feel one coming on? It can stop one from coming--if it is just a small one coming on, anyways. You just inhale deeply, then slowly let it out through your mouth. Just keep doing it until you feel better. You can do it anywhere and no one will know what you're doing or why. I have done it on the way to work and it has helped me. Like I said, it is for the small ones, it is not going to really stop a panic attack that just comes on like gangbusters, but it is good to know.

Hope you are doing alright today!

:)
 
wow thanks! I will for sure try that next time and tell you how it goes! also I find when i do something with my hanRAB like play a game or draw that calms me down when I am at home! I am doing good today thank you! I hope your good as well:)
 
I am glad to hear you are having a good day! Keep in touch, I always check in with the boarRAB here. There are alot of great people to talk to and get great advice from, plus you know you're never alone with this stuff. :)
