This anxiety is really getting the best of me. I just want to feel normal again. I don't want to be on any medication for my anxiety but I don't know what the things I could do not to let this take over me. I am constantly terrified of when I am going to have another panic attack. I try to do everything to keep my mind occupied but nothing seems to work. I can't seem to find out what my triggers are either. I would really love some advise...          My symptoms are
Dry mouth
Dizziness
Feeling like I can't breathe
Fear of dying
Feeling like I'm going to faint
Derealization
Tingling sensation all over
Irritation
Nervousness
Feeling like I'm high
Eye sight blurry

Thank you because I am beginning to feel like I will never gain control of my life again. This is very scary for me and its crazy because I have been through a lot in life. Bad things deaths of family and friends (a lot). That happened years ago and my life is getting better and now I start getting attacks and they have become every day now for the past month and a half. I have quit smoking cigarettes, started eating a little healthier(this is hard lol), cut out caffeine, and tried to start exercising and it seems nothing is working. Another thing that I hate is that I have a boyfriend that has no idea what this feels like so he always says something negative instead of comforting me and he has a 10 year old son who is very rude and disrespectful. I just don't know what to do anymore

I've had anxiety panic disorder with agrophobia sense 2005. Agrophobia didn't start tell 2006. I'm 25 now. From 2007 tell dec 2011 my anxiety was minimal and my agrophobia was tolerable. I had some big life changes and ended up in a full nervous breakdown an on going daily panic attacks followed by continueous anxiety of fear of another attack. Anxiety gives me physical symptoms everyday. Dizzy, jello legs like I'm floating. Detached from self. Headaches. Increased heartrate. Then my panic attacks I basically feel like I'm fainting and dieing. I've restarted cbt therepy. I see a therepist once a week. I'm prescribed antidepressants but I do not take them. Scared of side effects. But therepy an cbt are helping along with vitamins an herbal calming tea. I still get set backs. Some days are so bad I don't feel like I'm better at all but other days are good. You got to really work at it all the time. If u don't kno how to do cbt look online cognitive behavioral therey. Buy the book hope and help for your nerves by claire weekes. Take vitamins eat good no xaffine or sugar an get sleep. Talk to a therepist.
