Anyone else suffer from anxiety attacks? Sometimes I get them from legit nothing and its annoying. I haven't had a major…

I do :/

Yes 😞.

Only for the past 20 years.

I do too

@leahsmommi @2014mama1993 @erinflaherty818 @firsttimetarrina ive had them since I was 13. im 20 now. My fear was being alone due to my mom starting a new job. I was home alone sometimes at night with my little sister and I would just freak out. They affected my learning also. I use to start panicking in class and would have to go to the wellness center. it was a school clinic. they had me talk to someone every Wednesday but still no help. dr wouldn't put me on medication because I wasnt a threat to myself. And because of the anxiety I almost didn't graduate on time. Luckily I did. I also get them when I don't eat. I start thinking omg im gonna faint and stuff.

I'm so sorry! About five years ago mine got bad because I had to stay home at night since the hubby worked and w a baby it was so bad. But they aren't bad anymore. I have baby ones about stuff when just in deep thoughts. I'm so sorry!!!

@leahsmommi we have technically the same story. I was so use to being home with my mom and then she started to work nights. same here. I get baby ones but I do that 5 senses excersise and it goes away fast.

What's that?

@leahsmommi you find you 5 senses and just breathe. Find something you can taste, smell, feel, see and hear.

You instantly start relaxing

I've never tried that. I'm going to try next time! Thank you!

@andrewsmommy, same here iv had anxiety issues and get bad social anxiety in public it's gotten better since being a adult a Lil but more cuz I try not to show it to much or adults just don't comment on it like kids do I'm bipolar and grew up with bad adhd and learning difficulties and I would get anxious about anything different in routines or being in new surrounding like diffrent classrooms or new experiences I would literally get so anxious nd freak out so I could avoid having to do certain things cuz I was afraid to be teased or uncomfortable I was on so much different medications growing up I'm not on any for the last 3 years but it's tough especially emotionally and I don't have any real friends to talk to or hang out with so it stresses my relationship with my hubby cuz it's like he's my tharapist but not really he works graveyard as well and has a day job subbing at a school dist so it's tough being alone alot and going through it but ya the 5 senses works well @leahsmommi it's a good immediate distraction tool for sure :)

@2014mama1993, I'm so sorry... that's so much to go through! And I will try it! Definitely

Um you need a new doc! You don't have to be a threat to yourself to treat anxiety. I take a low dose of Prozac daily and i have Xanax as needed.

@erinflaherty818 i rather not take medication for it anyway. I dont have them everyday they come maybe once or twice every 2 months. I rather treat myself naturally with breathing techs and excersise to avoid them.

And this was that said that was when I was 13. Im 20 and my OB said I dont need them either

I take Xanax maybe 4x a year only when I get a bad panic attack. I used to get them so badly I'd wind up in ER convinced I was dying. Now I exercise 6 days a week and I rarely have attacks. So great idea if you can do it :)

@erinflaherty818 thats how I was when they started to happen. by time I would get to the er they would go away.
