hi there i also know what your going through as i myself would still be going through anxiety panic attacks and also depression. my head felt like it was going to explode my feet and hands would start going numb and picky my heart was pumping a mile a minute(thought i was having heart attack)i had a horrible time trying to breath(found out i was doing that wrong) one thing you should do if your having trouble breathing"always carry with you a brown paper bag and put it over your head if you feel this coming on"as you need that oxygen so you can breathe right or you can pass-out. i also thought i was dying. but you must have a free-clinic or a dr. that will work with you(as far as being paid) now this is something you really can't take care of by yourself. you need the medication called"ativan"or"xanax! and you can only get it with a prescription( a lot of us know what you mean about"you can't afford it") i just had to eliminate one thing for another( as mine was really bad). also with the depression(you can't do that by yourself) you really need a" psychiatrist" as usually this is where the anxiety(panic attacks) comes from. mine was so bad i had to go through "electric shock treatments "(22 of them) they call them"e. s. t. 's". i wish you so much luck and please see a doctor. "god bless you"
what do i do when my anxiety causes me mental and physical pain? . ive had anxiety since i was a kid. i dont take medications for it. i cant afford them. ive been trying to live with it and until recently ive done nothing about it. im tired of feeling like this its causing me emotional and physical pain. my relationships with friends and family members have been suffering. it often causes me to "wig out". when this occurs i have trouble breathing and chest pain. my whole mood just sours. i need help and i dont know whats wrong. what can i do?
