I begin to tremble and shake and i feel that im going to lose control.i dont know what to do i feel so down about this whole dilemma.Can someone tell me whats wrong with me and will this problem go..thank you xx

I'm being paranoid, clingy and nervous for unknown reasons.I think I'm having a panic attack and I need to know what I can do on my own to ease it away?I don't have insurance right now but as soon as we qualify or can afford it again, we're going to get this checked out.

Doctors help please? panic attacks or something else?
I've been worrying more often and sometimes, i find myself breathing hard and heavy and my chest starts to hurt and i start to shake and feel sick. I think its just because im not sleeping very well. Also when i have these 'panic attacks' i worry that im going to die. But then a few minutes or an hour later, i start to breath normal and fine once i don't think about it. but when i do think about it, it happens. i think its all in my 12 year mind. Any body know whats wrong or how to stop this?
It's been 4 months since i've been diagnosed with anxiety/panic attacks . . .?
like the question says it's been 4 months since i've been diagnosed with anxiety panic attacks and i've been prescribed anxiety medication which i refuse to take. . . for the fact that the only time i get my anxiety panic attacks are when i'm about to get my period, i'm on my period, and or my period is finishing. Has anybody experienced this because many people that i've talked to said it's normal and other's say it's a anxitey panic disorder but mostly a lot of people say it could be a hormonal inbalence.If you know anything about this please give me some tips to deal with it and or atleast some information.
Do these sound like panic attacks?
I've had this happen to me 3 times, 2 of which were in the last 12 hours. The first time was a month ago at school.Basically what happens is that I'll be thinking of something, get stressed out, then I'll start shaking and start bouncing off the walls. Then after about 5 minutes, I feel cold, my arms and legs seize up, and my breathing and heartbeat gets real fast. By the time it's finished, I'm in tears and I'm shaking again.The first time, like I said, it happened at school and I was worrying that I was going to fail all of my classes. The second time was last night, and I had a terrible nightmare that my girlfriend was crying her eyes out saying she hated me I did something terrible apparently, but couldn't figure out what and my parents were saying they were going to disown me. I just had one of these little episodes about a half hour ago, when I was thinking of that nightmare and I started doing the same exact thing. I just calmed down. Are these panic attacks? I'm going to my doctor at noon, but I want to know now. I want to be sure I don't have something.
What could cause me to only have panic attacks at night? I can't think of anything that makes me anxious?
I usually get them about 30 minutes after falling asleep. If I want a " proper" sleep, I have to wait until about 6am, when I'm too tired to keep awake.Thanks in advance.
Is this a panic attack?
I'm 17 & found out I was pregnant & trying to get my GED. I have a lot of stress. My mom & uncle get panic attacks. Sometimes i feel my heart begin to race & bad anxiety. I was in the car with my mom today & she was yelling at my brother in the car. Her screaming was stressing me out. My heart raced, I felt panicky & couldn't breathe. This happens over small things. What does that mean? Is it a panic attack? I Cant get on my medication for 3 weeks help What do I do
School makes me have panic attack and makes me feel real uneasy?
i use to skip a lot in high school. so much that i was not there about 60 % of the time. my mom just thought i was a rebellious teenager because i never like to show weakness, and i could be an ass sometimes. but it wasn't that at all. it was because i get very uneasy and i panic in a classroom. so when my mom found out what i was doing she yelled at me, and i yelled back and told her i refuse to go back to my school. so my father paid for me to finish high school in an online at home program. i graduated this year with all a's and one b's.i never told my mother the reason why i skipped school, and now she's pushing me about college. i don't know if i can do this? i just know that i am going to have a panic attack if i go. i don't want to be a failure, but how am i going to go to college when i won't be able to concentrate? i need help? i know that if i tell my mother the truth she will just think it is one of my excuses, and she will literally tell me that what i'm telling her is bullshit because she thinks i am iron woman. what to do? have you ever had this problem?of course it is ok to be fat and ugly which i'm not. that has nothing to do with my panic attacks. idiotok when i'm in the classroom i feel like i am trapped in a prison. time runs slow and i can't concentrate. all i'm thinking is get out get out of here and thats when the panic attacks happen. my mom is kind of supportive. i just think she wants the best for me and wants me to do something with my life.
How do i know if im having a panic attack?
ok, i asked a question earlier about not being able to breath right and some people said i was having a panic attack, so here's what happened.Earlier today, i was in the cinema watching toy story in 3D and i was eating popcorn but i suddenly felt like i couldn't breath and felt like i couldn't catch my breath but i was just sitting there, doing nothing and my heart was racing really badly, i was also shaking. Another time, i was in an airplane and it was taking off but i suddenly felt like i couldn't breath and that i needed to get out of there. Both times, i got over it by drinking allot of water.The third time it happened was when i was in a hot room and someone sprayed an aerosol, and i naturally panic about these things. But i felt like i needed to sit down and i went dizzy and lightheaded all three of these times.There the only times this has happened. Am i expeciencing panic attacks?
ANXIETY/PANIC ATTACKS NEED SOME ADVICE?
Do you think that stress will trigger anxiety panic attacks? I have a lot going on in my life right now....money is really tight, my son is 3.5 years old and a handful to boot, i am helping my dad run a store and we've done business together before and never had problems, but this time we have my step family involved and it's just been crazy. my step sister shows up to the store to open PAST opening hours, she wants to be able to leave throughout the day if things come up every day she takes at least one day off a week which leaves just me to take care of the store, which is okay but I already have to take my kids with me who are 3.5 and 2 years of age and it's not a " little kid" store, everything is breakable so they have to just sit here and watch movies or play games, but they hate it, they get bored and they want to play then I get really frustrated because I feel like a terrible mother because I have to make them stay in one area and be " bored" . When I have to put the extra time in because she isn't here it takes a way from me being with my kids and my husband and I hate it We aren't making any money right now so I can't pay for a babysitter I've been a stay at home mom since the boys were born. I also feel like my step family is just trying to push their way in to get me out. My step mom has this " jealousy" thing I guess that drives her nuts that my dad and I and my sister are so close. I can't even get a minute alone with my dad to even just " talk" about nothing, she is joined at his hip like she's afraid I'm going to say something mean????Then now the last couple of weeks I can feel my anxiety coming on at night last night was the worst I only ended up with a few hours of sleep. I have been on lexapro for 5 years now to help with my anxiety. I haven't felt like this for a long time and I hate it I don't want to go through this all over again and that makes me worry even more I want to be a good mom and a good wife, not deal with this stupid anxiety. On top of everything else my sister lives really far away and I miss her, my mom lives really far away and I miss her and it just feels like everything is happening at once. Do I just feel like this because of the added stress?The other thing that drives me nuts is if I catch a glimpse of something bad on the news or the news paper or online it freaks me out....like murders or bad people....it makes me feel like a bad person I don't ever, ever, ever want to be a bad person. I have never thought about doing anything bad to anyone and I never want to, so when I see stuff like that why does it make me feel as bad as they are?? Please tell me that someone else has dealt with these things before. Do you think that I am just triggering everything from the stress?
