Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety attacks in kids

anxiety

Avatar f tn It does sound like classic anxiety and panic attacks. What's funny about anxiety is that you really have no idea when it will strike and it is usually when you feel everything is fine. It sounds like you have had everything checked out thoroughly so have you thought about asking to speak to a therapist? I know it stinks being on meds, but if you need them now, it doesn't mean you will need them forever. My anxiety started after the birth of my 2nd daughter.
Avatar f tn This happened the first time when I was driving with my kids in the car and turned into a full blown panic atack. Also, when this happens, my throat gets really tight anf I feel like I have trouble catching my breath. This only happens for a few seconds. Has anyone else experienced this??
Avatar n tn I used to have a lot of anxiety to the point where I thought something bad was happening ornI was gonna die. My life is so busy I easily get distracted from my thoughts, I stay busy with school, kids and work. I often don't have time to think about the negative. When I do I talk myself down as if I were talking someone else down out of a panic attack. I know that this is my hormones playing a huge part and it's only temporary.
Avatar f tn Hello My name is Sabeli And i was diagnosed with anxiety attacks.
Avatar f tn But I do get panicky attacks and bad anxiety. What should I do? It was worse in the beginning, but comes and goes now and it's terrible.
Avatar f tn I'm 16 weeks with my 3rd. I'm having bad anxiety too. I know what to expect, I know what will happen, but still have bad anxiety. I think, how will i handle 3 kids, how will he fit in, I'm scared to death all over again! I have a 6 yr old and a 4yr old. Just the thought is sending me into panic attacks. I'm pretty sure it's the hormones, I always have anxiety a few days after giving birth, then it goes away.
1771101 tn?1314103509 I agree, every body reacts different to meds. I am currently suffering from bad anxiety, panic attacks and ptsd from a bad car accident. I'm on Clonazepam (Klonopin) and it works great for me. Started with .5 , now I take up to 2.5mg a day. I'd like to add, I hate that have to take meds right now, but I wouldn't be able to get through the day w/ out it. I have two young kids at home w/ me and I know how you feel, the meds do make me feel a little out of touch.
746230 tn?1232921847 I had my first panic attack when I was 19, walking through a mall I'd been to a thousand times before, and didn't know what the hell was happening to me. My heart started speeding up, I felt like I was going to be sick and my vision went crazy. I got out of there fast and went to the doctor. Turned out I was getting a virus but the panic attacks kept up for 6 months. I couldn't go to the mall for over a year because it would bring an attack on.
Avatar f tn I had a few anxiety attacks right before I finally divorced my ex husband, 6 yrs ago. He was abusive, physically, mentally and emotionally. My attacks stopped, once I made up my mind that I was leaving. They have remained dormant forever, I forgot I ever had panic attacks. I always had them when I was driving on highways. Well in November of 2008 I finally stood up too him, and took cusotdy of my kids back.
Avatar f tn Iv'e had a bad reaction to LExipro but I know others that had no reaction to it. My friend is on Zoloft for depression and she has Xanax as prescribed for her "as needed". After my bad experience I will not take any ssri's. I know its not good to start one drug and suddenly switch to another even if you havent taken it for long. Your symptoms are anxiety symptoms> Anxiety causes panic attacks in some. I found in myself I can't tolerate loud noises or my kids yelling.
900948 tn?1242022037 i just can't stand my anxiety attacks anymore...i get them on a daily basis even without thinking about it...it has put a pause into my life...feel very abnormal...can't do the normal things a mother does with her children...sometimes the xanax doesn't even relief my attacks...when will this go away...i feel like i can't take another attack...and like i said they come daily...i try to relax myself and it doesn't seem to work...
1194973 tn?1385503904 Hi Toots! Getting an anxiety attack "out of the blue" is one of the terrifying aspects of this disorder. It often leads to a condition known as "anticipatory anxiety," in which you live constantly in a state of anxiety awaiting the next "attack." Stress, if it's unrelenting, can often produce symptoms very similar to anxiety.
Avatar f tn I've had anxiety so bad I'm in tears for two days straight now and I'm only on day three!
Avatar f tn Are there any over the counter meds that I can take daily at home for anxiety attacks. I have at least two attacks every day, but I have no insurance to go to a doctor for a prescription med.
Avatar f tn I also suffer from terrible anxiety and with my first pregnancy with twins I was so terrified of the whole process as well as scared I would have an anxiety attack while in labor but once I actually got to the point, I didn't have a whole lot of time to focus on my actual anxiety. Now that I'm expecting again, I'm having the anxiety all over again and even more because I feel like I will fear the process more knowing exactly what I will encounter.
Avatar m tn Mentally I am stronger than I have been in 15 months. Physically I am in some good pain. I am enjoying the freedom from depression now and dealing with the pain. I am happy. I hope this helps. I know how you are feeling and I know you can be set free from that. I am today.
Avatar f tn I will for sure look into this book, all of this is so new to me still and I only a little about anxiety and panic attacks, my research is still in working process, i find when i am reading about it, it makes me feel overwhelmed and anxious thiking about the attacks. I had one last night and was able to calm myself down after about an hour. Do either one of you get the insane pressure inyour head when you have an attackor are abot to have an attack?
Avatar f tn It is marketed as a 'natural' supplement to treat anxiety. In my opinion, you really have to be careful with some 'natural remedies.' Just because it has this word, does not mean that it is safe or effective to use...furthermore, it has not been tested by the FDA. However, I cannot speak of experience because I have not taken this before. Why did you go off of Celexa? Were you having problems with it?
Avatar f tn Hi I am 35 years old and I have been having anxiety attacks for about 5 years now. They are really bad and it is hard for me to go anywhere or talk to anyone. I am afraid that I will have an anxiety attack around other people. I was never like this, I used to work and go everywhere and do everything for myself but now I can't even step outside my front door without feeling anxious and scared. It is so embarassing for me I'd rather stay in my house where no one can see me.
1916010 tn?1333345479 When you tell people you have anxiety/panic attacks they automatically think you are insane.. so I hold must of it in and just don't say anything.. :((( I hate it.. I've done this for 6 years now and it *****. I also have hypothyroidism and that doesn't help much either.. along with anxiety and taking thyroid medicine and metoprolol for a fast heart rate, I just feel like I have no energy at all.. Does anyone have any suggestions????
Avatar n tn i forgot to add, if your child has general anxiety issues, i read in a magazine that sage leaf extract can help, but read up on it.
