okay, so i know that i have generalized anxiety disorder and i often get panic attacks or episodes where im just going completely crazy with fear. the thing is, my dad is pretty much..anti medication and refused to put me on anything. and i guess im fine with it as long as i know how to control them. but i dont.
my hands are always sweaty when i have to play solos in orchestra, my stomach is always in knots right before a race, and my hearts pounds really fast even when theres nothing to be scared of. im just wondering if anyone knows how to cope with it without medication. i know that people always say, "breathe. just breathe," or just to tell myself that everything will be okay. yea, it doesnt work. im just so frustrated with bad performances because of my nerves.

Wow, that must've been hard. I used to get panic attacks when I was around crowds, so school was tough for me and there were days that I wouldn't go, just for that reason. I still get nervous and lots of my friends think it's weird that I walk down the halls by myself, but the truth is I look like a zombie walking down the halls because I'm talking to myself in my head and telling myself to calm down and things will be okay.
The only thing that really bugs me is if I have a panic attack and I'm around people who don't know crap about how to handle a person who's having one. Mine aren't that bad, or often, anymore. I know sometimes people get creeped out when someone's having a panic attack, but there are some people who are better off just leaving you alone when you're having one. |
