bad anxiety attacks...

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...

i feel dizzy/lightheaded
feel like can't breath
chest pains/burning
burning pain in my back
my arms hurt like if i had exercised for hours
can't sleep because when i try, i wake up seconds later not able to breath
scared to sleep thinking i will die
anything in my body that hurts scares me and makes me think i will die
fast palpitations
always seem to be sleepy
feel like i can't swallow at times
nervous
i cry all the time
diarreah (diarrhea)/butterflies in my stomach
feel like someone is picking me with pins in my head and my left or right side of my chest...
tingling in body

i always think there is something wrong with me and that i will die...the thing i fear most is dying and leaving my 2 lil ones behind and not being able to watch them grow up...anyone else feel these symptoms...

i wan't my life back...i just always want to lay in bed because i'm scared to go or do anything...

I am exactly the same way! Don't feel bad you can get over it. I am getting attacks everywhere I go but have been a little better the past week. It really ruins your life, it's like even if I had a million dollars it wouldn't matter as couldn't go anywhere.But remember this can go as quickly as it came. I have purchased a lot of 'panic' work books and am just overloading myself with information.You have to 'try' to do a couple of things a week and this book 'A guide to panic' gives you exercises to try.

I have Xanax also that I am taking when I need it but the doctor also put me on Lexapro which I tried for a week and it was awful 'for me'. I did get all the tests done as mentioned above and I purchased quite a few herbs form the homepathic center that really help me.

As Bethlany says get all the tests done to ease your mind and improve your diet cut out all caffeine anything that can make you nervous and try to do small tasks, you always feel better when you get out. Do some Yoga at home and remember you have to put a lot of effort into this, you can't give up.
