Anxiety Options

[karmakiller]

Ok, since this isn't a bear-your-soul kinda forum, I'm not going to do that, but lately I've been having lots of issues with Anxiety. It's always been a problem, but it seems like it's getting worse.

I'll have anxiety attacks (they're different than panic attacks), whenever I find myself in a crowd my heart beats really fast and find myself telling myself to calm down and just breathe.

My question is if any of you have any problems with anxiety? What do you do to cope with it? Have you sought any professional help?

I'm been thinking that I should go see someone for it, but I don't even know where to begin

I have a lot of anxiety problems. I don't have panic attacks, but I'm always nervous and always worrying. I always assume the worst will happen and...mine is really a combination of all types of problems.

There's medication that people can take for panic attacks. Do you only get panicky at school? If so, then your story about the two kids with guns could very well be the root of the problem.
