though anxiety is a mental disorder it restricts us in every field of life :my problem is that I have started restricting myself from many things with the fear that I will undergo panic attack I am just 20 years old; whenever anxiety triggers I feel like running away from that place but most of the times it is not possible as if I do it what others might think.I have phobia of fainting although I haven't faint .what should I do should I restrict myselfbecause of anxiety or should I just go with the hope that anxiety won't trigger PLEASE HELP
Hi hun im the same im constantly saying what if.. what if its not a panic attack this time and something serious I feel I can't cope anymore im constantly thinking abouty heart the way it beats the pain I get in my chest and arm constantly, easier said than done but don't restrict yourself because that will make u worse just slow deep breaths when u feel one coming on and remember u hav had it before and got through it so u can do the same agaim I'm 22 so similar age range what symptoms are u currently getting? Here if u need to talk x
At 20 go forward and kick it in the nether regions dont let it take over
thanks Laura for your reply; I have read your post and I really feel sorry for you that you have a lot of physical symptoms of anxiety; my hands and feet's start shaking and I have butterflying sensation in my stomach ;you are right I shouldn't restrict myself; I HOPE your anxiety also vanishes soon its difficult to accept nothing is wrong with u when your mind is saying there is something wrong
thanks gillian you are right I won't restrict myself
