So all my life I've had anxiety but about a month ago I had a panic attack I got rushed to hospital as I thought I was dying and had all the check ups then 2 days after that I had another one so went back to the hospital had the same tests done and they couldn't find anything so I must be healthy I'm 21 male only weigh about 10 stone I've had severe depression all my life self harm trying to suicide,but now since that day of the attack I've just been constantly worried about things I feel I have pains in my chest sometimes even tho I know I don't I've had so many panic attacks in the past month I'm just always scared it's hard for me to say because I'm a very proud person but I think k I have a panic disorder cause of the amount of attacks and how I've been feeling,my question is do these disorder just randomly come?as I keep thinking I'm seriously ill even tho the hospital said I'm fine and they can't find anything so it must be the anxiety but can a panic disorder just come one day and then your stuck with it? Please help as I am a very isolated person when it comes to mental health nobody understands me because they don't have these issues so I need comforting
Its not all of sudden at all. Its a progression. What ever does this it seems at some point that part of the brain has had enough and frazzles to where it stays in fight or flight. Its a bit brutal of a disorder. Depression and panic attacks can go hand in hand many times. Not every one with either gets the other. Hopefully you are in therapy, of not good idea to start. Its a rocky road but it does wax and wane as time goes on.thensymptoms are probably new and you should read up on anxiety disorders to familiarize yourself. You didnt mention if you took meds for depression,
Hello I don't take medication for depression anymore as I beat it on my own I don't feel depressed and haven't got a while it's just the anxiety it makes me think I'm going to die all the time and that I have something seriously wrong with me even tho I've had all those tests,I've had anxiety all my life but never had panic attacks so it's all new to me,thankyou for getting back to me it's really comforting
Hi I am just like you ( only female) I have been suicidle and depressed ever since I can remember. I have had anxiety now for over 20 years and I get panic attacks and I'm constantly on edge feeling sick and always feel something bad is about to happen . I personally think my anxiety started because of the antidepressants that I have taken . As the more antidepressants I take the worst it gets . As with antidepressants they work a while then they up the doses then they stop working and you have to go on to other ones . Now I don't take antidepressants anymore. For over 10 years but my depression is still there , more like no self worth or see any point in life . But the panic atacks and anxiety are always there 😩As you are young then CBT might work for you ? My experience is try to avoid medication as it only makes it worse in the long run .( I hope it helped a bit )

You need to go back to your Doctor and get back onto your Medication regime.
Possibly CBT may help in the long run
You are not isolated many people have the same problems as you and they are having treatment to try and control your fears.
Sad to say most parts of life are not very comforting and we all need to try and move on through our lives the best we can.

Best thing is to read up on panic attacks so you know exactly whats going on. After a while you know in your mind whats happening and understand it so you know you wont die from it but they do suck. No fear added they wear off within 15 minutes. If you jump on it it can recycle, its a adrenaline rush but negative one so you feel fear rush thru basically and can get very weird symptoms. Some are classic like heart stuff, limbs numb, tingles the standard stuff that adrenaline does because it is pooling blood to,protect the major organs from danger only there is no danger. THeres tons of books, utube,podcast and such to learn. Once you dont fear a symptom you get a different one which is very frustrating. Its a fear illness of fer of fear. In jaoan they refer to it as a fear illness. It is so strange.
