[suzi-q]

I am at work and I am a kindergarten teacher...I am having a panic attack as we speak...my heart is racing, I have that warm feeling, have pressure in the chest and feel a heavy head.  I have had these many times before, and I am sick of it....I am in the middle of a nice project with them and I feel so sick...I need to hear one of my cyberbuddies tell me I am going to be ok...anyone out there??

I have always suffered from panic attacks, but usually only 3-4 times a year. 3 months ago i had a massive panic attack and now i live in complete Anxiety, SOmetimes i feel good, but other times i feel like there is somthing more wrong with me and it cant be in my head. I am now taking Xanax, but its not enough to get rid of the horrible things that come into my mind only the body symptoms. The Symptoms i suffer with are - Chest Pain, Shortness of Breathe, DIzziness (feel like going to faint), Nausea, Derealization, Tingling and Heat. Its good to hear that im not alone, But sometimes i feel the fight is so hard.

I am a 22  yr old female who like the rest of you suffers from panic attacks anxiety etc. I wish it would go away! Like the rest of you do. I've read that some of you get the shortness of breath & tight chest well i get the feeling that im going crazy or im going to die then after about 5min or so it gos away...the worst damn 5 min i've ever experienced. I'm on zoloft 50 mg well just started taking 75mg about a week ago i havent noticed a difference yet im sure it needs time to kick in. If not then i suppose i will have to go back to the docs. To those out there who arent on meds please go see your doc there is help out there for these probs, you DONT have to FIGHT it. I'll be praying for all of you and for myself...just remember everyone has their problems and this one is ours life is just that way i suppose. God bless all of you out there suffering..im right there w/ ya...Even w/ the meds im taking. Hopefully they will start to work again.

Im also suffering from Anxiety attacks and have felt dreadful all morning and i just wanna go home and lay down in my bed and cry till it goes away.

Im going for hypnotherapy in a couple of weeks in the hope that it will cure my anxiety.  I have had hypnosis several times for other reasons and they have worked so i have faith that it will work for this to.

I am teacher in first grade and have a student with special needs.  He has these outbursts and I don't know when they are going to happen and if they will turn physical.  I have started to have anxiety attacks in the middle of class and have tried very hard to not cry in the middle of class.  By the end of the day my hands are shaking and just some one looking at me can make me cry.  I have only suffered this once before with another student who was abusive with other students.  I am fine on Saturdays but once Sunday rolls around, I get a knot in my chest and my hands start to shake and I start crying again.  I am not sure if I go back if my doctor will put me back on Lexapro.
