anxiety problems, panic attacks and freaking out! :(
17/f
so i've had this problem for as long as i can remember. i over think EVERYTHING and always make things a bigger deal than they really are, or even make up things and convince myself that they're real- mostly health related. sometimes i'll over think things SO much that ill have like a panic attack and just start freaking out. i'm so sick of freaking out about things and being anxious, i want to enjoy life and get this under control, especially cause ill be going to college in the fall. also if anyone knows of any simple stress relievers that would help too. thank you!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
well firt of all you have won if you already know what you are doing wrong. if you know you over think things, and all that stuff try to cool things down.
when im stressed out, i heard to blast your favorite music, sit on the floor cross legged and close your eyes and count to 25, or howver much time you need.
tell yourself the truth and believe the truth and make yourself believe the truth, not the lie!
if you already know what you are doing wrong, theres a start!
good luck and i hope everything is fine and gets better!(:

Panic are a real problem. I suffered with them as a child and as an adult. It took a life threatening auto accident for me to find out that the panic attacks were tied to a mild case of depression. My depression got worse and really manifested it self after the accident.
To find out if this is the root cause of your panic attacks you need to speak with your doctor and asked to be screened for depression. Don't get upset over the word depression. Most depression is caused by an imbalance in hormones or enzymes secreted in the brain to manage depression. Medical doctors routinely refer patients who they screen for depression to psychiatrists for treatment because they are better trained to treat depression. Unlike a psychologist a psychiatrist is an MD with specialized training psychiatry and can write prescriptions for medication when and if needed.
My advise is to ask your doctor to screen you for depression. Then follow the doctors advice.

youre 17, so am I. This is the time in life where everything is a damn question and it seems like it is impossible to find an answer. I get it, i have panic attacks too when i feel like i have a million things to do, when i really dont. What you can try to do is to sit down and look over all of the things you are worried about, and write them down. And then you can write about each one of them and then you will know, that theyre not big deals. You also need to find some peace in your life. Start exercising to get in shape, its nice and peaceful. Start jogging around the neighbourhood, start writing in a diary to let all of those emotional baggage out. Try it, and good luck and please do not hurt yourself :)

I can get like that to, but I don't have panic attacks anymore.
I worry about almost everything that happens to me, all I can say is try not to think about the things that arise in your mind, your own mind can be your worst enemy. You could always read, listen to music, draw? ( If you enjoy to)
I'm not an expert. If it starts to really..really control your life, go to a Psychiatrist..my mother, and my brother goes to one..they can help.
I hope I helped ..<3
