"all started when i was about 18 years young. all typical symptoms - racing thoughts, palpitations, high blood pressure, dizzines, fear, choking feeling, chest tightness, fear of death and many other unbearable things which happens when anxiety becomes uncontrollable! over the years i have had my good days and my bad days. sometimes to a point where i don&#039;t want to live anymore, but then comes good days and to live is the thing i want the most. for those dark moments when close to panic xanax has really helped me! it gets me a bit calmer straight away, and then i can start breathing excercise and other little things which help to calm down. without xanax i honestly wouldn&#039;t know what to do!"
