Is this because of Anxiety?

[nickia64]

I'm nearly 16. Alright so I've gone through different stages with my anxiety. I don't get panic attacks anymore but  go through stages before Christmas it started again. I felt light headed one week, the next I couldn't sleep and then throughout the Christmas break I went into full blown depersonilization but when I went back to school it eased off and I went into full blown depression.

Now thinking about college in 2-3 years and not knowing what I want to be just makes me want to really kill myself. I feel I don't know like I have these visions of what I was like when I was youner when I had this and when I'm older and still suffering from this that I'm going to be in a graveyard and my mind completley makes me see the only way out is suicide and I can only agree because I feel so clowded over and locked away and I feel myself slipping into that person in the vision and it terrifies me. Is this just another stage of the anxiety or is it something else.

Everything feels like I'm in town late at night looking at everything so weirdly. I can't describe myself anymore even the thought of going out with friends makes me want to die. I don't know what to do or if this will get better.

Nice post Sally. You are correct. Acceptance and submission to anxiety and panic can be very helpfull. I am not there with it yet but i have been getting better at it.

I don't take the attacks as seriously as I once did. I remember being devastated by anxiety at one time. Recently, I just let it happen and try to go with the flow. Its still uncomfortable but I get by.

Thanks for the post.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to tell all of you who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. You do not need medication, its just a short relief of the panic. It comes back after the drug wears off, and you just get the bad side effects. What I'm trying to say is you will get through it without using medication... I myself suffered really bad anxiety and panic attacks for many months. I was so tired of it it was just taking over my life seriously. Until i decided to do something about it, went through hypnotherapy it helped a bit, but didn't take it away. I prayed every single night for my creator to help me and be by my side through it all. I started becoming very anxious about every little pain i felt, thoughts kept running through my mind like I'm gunna die or have a heart attack i was thinking about the "what ifs"! I thought i would never get through it... but i did and they haven't affected me for years i actually crave for a panic attack to come but it never does. I got through it and so will all of you! How i did it was, just thought I've got panic attacks and no matter how bad they felt i always got through them i was still alive, i just welcomed the panic when i started to feel it, and just sat there and let it come, when i started to welcome it, it went away just like that. Its your fears of having a panic attack. Just welcome it don't be scared you had one so many times and look your still here. You.may have to try it a few times. In time you won't be scared of them and won't have one. You'll actually crave them to come. I dont know i hope this kinda helped. I just want you all to know you can and will get through it. God bless all of you suffering from anxiety. The.mind is very powerful.

Well I believe alot your initial symptoms are anxiety. Looking into the future while in an anxious state can be very overwhelming and distorted. I use to do that to myself (and still do at times).

I think you need to give yourself a chance. Take things one day at a time. You will see that things will workout for you.

I use to worry about the future and what life had in store for me when I was your age. It was scary and doom like to me. I am now 40 years into the future from when i worried. Things really havent been that bad for me. The concerns I had about the world and future just really never happened.

Believe me, you have to be patient with things and really give yourself the chance and opportunity in life. Things aren't as bad as you might think.

Hang in there pal!

Hey hun. I'm one who could tel you that this is something that needs to be talked about to a be. Have you spoken to one yet? Are you on meds for the anxiety? You seem well spoken and well aware of wheats happening to you. And that lets new know that you are smart a and a very well young person ready to get this over with. You can get thru this if you talk to someone about this. Anxiety is something that effects us all differently and I can't tell you gore many different symptoms that has come my way from anxiety. Please talk to someone like a dr and see if there is a need that could help you because I'm sure there us. Suicide is never the way to fix things. Love and rockets hun I pray and hope you get better please keep me up dated with your progress.
