I read about somebody having panic attacks..I have the same thing , not so often though
I used to be all anxious and everything in the past , it now seems to be fading. But I m still feeling nervous when I m in new places , or places I m not so familiar with. I don’t drink alcohol anymore , and I also stopped drinking coffee in case it makes any difference.I used to go to a psychologist , that’s where I found out why the palms of my hands were getting sweaty and why my heartbeat was racing . She was much of a help , as I have now got over most of my fearsBut still , some “leftovers” torture me. These “fears” hold me back from doing things I used to , like travelling alone , or going to places far away and everythingIts almos 3 years from the day I got my first panic attack , and it has now become a way of life , which sucks major timeI dunno how this will end. I dont visit that psychologist of mine anymore , or maybe once every 4 months . You think I should ?Sorry for your wasted time reading my issuesI just really need some advice~~MissFreaky~~
I was diagnosed with having Anxiety Disorder about, oh two or three years ago. I don’t do therapy anymore, can’t afford it and there are other issues that were never touched on by my therapists. Yes, I saw a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Put on meds, and they just kept getting raised… didn’t do a bloody thing for me. Sometimes I feel that these doctors really don’t know anything and just medicate their patients till they’re just zombies.
I can just be sitting there silently and my heart starts to race. However, my anxiety is related to stress which also has led to other mental problems which have yet to be addressed by any doctor. So, here I sit totally out of therapy and not on meds anymore. I flip out now and then, but I’m better off just writing my poetry and ranting on my own message board.
Personally, if you feel you don’t need therapy anymore…. don’t keep going. However, if you feel as if something keeps telling you subconsciously you need to go…. then keep going. You’ll know when you don’t have to anymore.
Brightest Blessings
