Hi,
You can't lose hope, it's your will power that will get you through this, if you aren't willing to power through this awful time then it will take over your life! Just think you've been like this for 7 months and what's the worst that happened? You had a panic attack that subsided and your still here! As for the short of breath did recommend some meditation it works wonders for me as I feel the same as you everyday, lay down in a quiet room and listen to some you can get videos on YouTube and they will help tou relax and hopefully like me some days you will feel your normal self again! Tell yourself that you are not going to let this rule your life and teach yourself to get through it, you've done it for ages now you can make it easier, taking your mind off it helps go for a 5 minute walk then extend by 5 minutes next time you'll feel great because you'd reaching some tough milestones. I had this in 2011 and it's back now I've had it on and off all my life I'm 22 I guess you just learn to live with it some how hope this helps and I wish you all the luck to get through this!
Hola Desuzapro, yo también tuve mi primer ataque de pánico hace más de un año y ha cambiado mi vida. Una respuesta simple a tu pregunta es que sí, hay esperanza. Es muy difícil imaginarlo, pero si miras cuánto has avanzado en 7 meses, apuesto a que has mejorado mucho más de lo que te das cuenta. ¿Haces ejercicios de respiración regularmente? Te recomiendo hacer ejercicios de respiración al menos tres veces al día, te ayudará a controlar tu respiración y frecuencia cardíaca, y te sentirás mucho más tranquilo. La paciencia es clave y gradualmente verás los beneficios. Te deseo todo el éxito en tu recuperación.
well i would say i became more mature i started to think about things which i did not care before well to say in short i became adult i guess.
can i ask did you have shortness of breath all the time too? i got my heart and lungs 2 months ago and everything was ok but its still hard to believe its all anxiety
thanks for support, ye its quite hard to have mental problems and to be teen cause all your friends have fun while you struggle with anxiety and check for symptoms online i know it by myself,but still i try to fight it even im a little bit tired already
Sí, eso me pasó también, parte de mi ansiedad creo que era porque tenía miedo de crecer. Sí, todavía lo siento hasta cierto punto, pero los ejercicios de respiración/yoga realmente me ayudan porque te permiten recuperar el control. Solo dite a ti mismo que es solo una sensación, y distráete con actividades que disfrutes hacer. Estoy de acuerdo, es difícil creer que tu mente pueda hacerte sentir así, es algo poderoso, pero tú controlas tu ansiedad, no ella te controla.
Yes, it can be cured. Find yourself a good therapist a.s.a.p. i wouldn't recommend going on meds if you can avoid it, it doesn't solve anything. Only if you need them to get out of the house to visit the therapist, it's worth considering.
I suffered from anxiety myself till about a year ago, but it had a different cause (longterm stress, exhaustion, some bad events, ill health etc.) so I'm probably not the best example for you, maybe there are some other people in here who can tell how they recovered from their anxiety caused by similar events as yours.
Anyway; don't loose hope, it can be cured, but you have to find help. Many psychotherapists are specialized in treating anxiety, and they know how to help you out of this.
