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 don't know how to get out of one of these situations. I also suffer form anxiety, I'm diagnosed with anxiety on my medical records. But I haven't had the whole shaking experience for a while. I think it was worse when my anorexia played the biggest role. It's kinda "died down" for now.

I don't breathe at a normal pace, ever. Nobody would know this. But I do. And that's aparently down to anxiety.

The only weird public experiences I had was my tendency for blacking out. But I was more anaemic than ever and I wasn't eating. I'd shake when I finally got a hold of myself. Whenever that happens, I don't go for just any drink, but the one drink I wont drink otherwise: Any cold soda brings me back within 30seconds.
