Anxiety Attack Treatment Net

Posted on October 24, 2011 by

There are many causes of anxiety attacks, ranging from medical issues to external mental or emotional stimuli. These causes are many and varied and if you are suffering from anxiety attacks, it is imperative that you find out what is causing them.

1 - Hereditary Causes

First off there may be your heredity blame. Anxiety attacks have been found to run in families, which leads many professionals to conclude that the trait can be found in the human genome. On the other hand, studies on genetically identical twins have shown that sometimes one twin will experience anxiety attacks, while the other will not. Another way in which anxiety attacks can be inherited is through an overly cautious worldview handed down by a patient's parents and the cumulative stress it causes.

2 - Biological Causes

There are also many biological causes to anxiety attacks, such as inner ear disturbances (labyrinthitis), hyperthyroidism, hyperventilation syndrome, hypoglycemia, prolapsed mitral valve (a heart disease), pheochromocytoma (an adrenal gland tumor), and Wilson's disease (a genetic disorder). Even a vitamin B deficiency caused by parasitic tapeworm infection or from a poor diet can also cause anxiety attacks.
3 - Mental / Emotional Causes

Mental or emotional issues can also trigger anxiety attacks. These include generalized anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),significant personal loss (such as loss of a romantic partner), significant life changes, 'what-if' thinking, lack of assertiveness, withheld feelings, mistaken beliefs, and avoidance of or association with anxiety-provoking situations or environs.

4 - Pharmalogical / Medicinal Causes

Pharmacological or medicinal causes include amphetamines, alcohol, marijuana, psilocybin (a hallucinogen found in some mushrooms), side effects from drugs such as Ritalin or other antidepressants (especially at the beginning or end of use), and stimulants such as caffeine or nicotine. Some anxiety attack sufferers also develop an irrational fear of certain medications, which may result in anxiety attacks if they are taken, which is a purely psychosomatic effect similar to what placebos have been shown to produce.

As anyone can see, there are many causes of anxiety attacks, most of which are completely out of your control if you are having them. The good news is that you can do something about it. The first thing you need to understand is that it is not your fault. Your anxiety attacks are nothing that you asked for and not something that you necessarily caused. If it is found that your anxiety attacks are caused by something external that is easily remedied, your problem may be solved quite easily. If it is caused by a lifestyle choice, for example marijuana or alcohol consumption, there are alternatives available. If it is something that is more ephemeral, then your mental health professional can counsel you and/or prescribe medication that will help you deal with your anxiety attacks.

Conclusion

Don't immediately blame yourself or believe that there is simply something wrong with you if you are having anxiety attacks. If you look hard enough, you will probably be able to discover what the cause is. In many cases, the cause of anxiety attacks can be quickly discerned and dealt with via counseling, medication or self help.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Need info on NALION 50mg and DEANXIT tablets please?
    A good friend of mine was first prescribed Deanxit and then Nalion as part of a treatment for her anxiety attacks. I can't find a lot of info on the net regarding those drugs, especially about Nalion. Any experiences or hints where to find out more details? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Hard to imagine Nalion 50 mg. - Our Micromedix states that Nalion is Alprazolam/Norfloxacin - a Benzodiazepine like Xanax (antianxiety medication). That's alot of mgs. I couldn't find any reference or cross reference to Deanxit so guess you will have to consult a pharmacist. I tried my best. Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

    what do you think ?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through. It sounds like you have been given some well thought out advice and perhaps you're going to have to give it some time to see any real benefit. I think the important thing for you to do is keep in regular contact with the professionals. If, in another couple of months, you don't feel you're making any progress you need to request that they try some different therapies for you. You said you have problems regarding your ankle - that's a shame because I'm sure you'd find some exercise invaluable. Have you read up on your conditions? The internet is a useful source but don't get too bogged down in it - use it as a reference point only. If you can identify why you feel like you do it would be a good starting point to try and alter the way you react to circumstances.

      I also live in the North of England and am aware that there isn't a lot of help available - especially when you're feeling so lost in yourself anyway.

      Don't give up on yourself. It's so important that you stay strong and true to yourself. I can appreciate your aims and ambitions in life but for now I think you should be setting yourself smaller, more readily achievable goals. This would help to improve your self esteem and the rest can follow from there. Don't be impatient - you've lived with this for most of your life - you're not going to get better overnight.

      You are amazingly strong to be facing your problems like this - good for you - you will get better, you've got the inner strength.

      Take care.

    • ANSWER:
      I'm sorry you've had such a difficult time of it, it doesn't sound easy. The best advice I can give you is to tell the people at the drop in centre that you would like to achieve something, do anything meaningful in your life, and ask their help in doing this. Maybe make a list of things you would like to do, then come up with action plans of how you might start achieving some of those things.
      To answer your original question - no, I don't think it's ever too late. When I was at university, there were several women in my class in their 40s and 50s, and one woman who was in her late 70s. It wasn't too late for them and its not too late for you.
      Stay strong and good luck. x

    what do you think ?

    • ANSWER:
      I think I can help you. I believe I know what you are talking about, having had lots of personal experience with it.

      My Dad had BPD, PTSD and agoraphobia and passed a lot of those traits on to us (his kids). I fully forgive him for it. At heart he was an incredible guy. My Mum became a psychologist, mostly trying to find ways to deal with the mental issues of myself and my family. The stream I went to find solutions for my family was the natural health and nutrition stream.

      One of my brothers has anxiety and agoraphobia, but he is slowly getting better and making progress, like you. That's all anyone can ask for. We're only human. My little bro couldn't face going to school so did home-schooling, but over the years he has gradually learned to do things like catching buses, for which we are very proud of him.

      My little bro also has severe scoliosis (from sitting in front of a computer for his whole life) so looks a bit like the hunchback and he's only 20 years old.

      I understand how you feel about wanting some drugs because it is just so overwhelming to try and cope with it all on your own. However, I feel that your psychiatrist must be a sincere and good one, to restrain himself from proscribing drugs to you. The mental health drugs ARE very addictive, and they have not helped my Dad nor my sister to overcome their mental issues. (Drugs are the path they took... Dad did not get any other therapy except drugs... and he should have.) In Dad's case, who took Prozac for 10 years, they actually made him more aggressive, and that side effect is now scientifically verified (I learned it in my nursing studies).

      I was never diagnosed, but my Mum says I show traits of BPD, and I've also had anxiety and depression for 7 years, and probably PTSD, too (always been hypervigilant from living with my Dad for so long).

      In Australia the funding for psychotherapy is very limited, hence why my Mum went into the profession, to help her family. This is also why I became a homoeopath and nutritionist, and why I'm now studying nursing. Drugs just do not cure in cases like ours. There's a very complex set of factors at play, and I feel that maybe I can help you with some of those.

      I learned in my nursing studies that mind-altering drugs create a "reward pathway" in the brain that causes addictive behaviours to continue. Because of epilepsy, I was on anticonvulsants from infancy to age 16. After I went off my drugs at age 16 (no more fits and just SICK of taking drugs.. my liver was pretty toxic, too), I've had problems with anxiety and depression ever since. I believe that is a combination of factors, including sensitive brain chemistry and the addiction pathways that my brain learned to follow since infancy.

      What I found really helpful was the FAILSAFE diet. Most people know that some foods can affect the behaviour of children, but the same foods can continue to affect the brains of adults! It is known as "food intolerance". The Elimination Diet can help you identify which foods you react to, and the FAILSAFE website can help you get resources to change your diet to one that will support and calm down your brain chemistry: http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info.

      Just for a taste of the info: Amines (commonly found in tomatoes, cheese, wine, grapes, saltanas, nuts, and old meat) cause aggression and also anxiety. Salicylates (in many fruits, especially tomatoes, and others) cause that racy feeling where your thoughts can't slow down, and also contribute to anxiety. Glutamates and artificial additives can have similar mind-altering effects (giving insomnia and racing thoughts, aggression and hyperactivity).

      This diet could be the very thing to set you on the path to recovery (it was for me) or it might be one factor in the big plan to solve your problems. If you need any help or clarification on the diet, please feel free to email me.

      I think you should forgive yourself for any perceived lacks that you have. As you said, you've already made a great deal of progress by yourself and that is worth congratulations. It is a hard slog. You're doing a great job.

      Best wishes on your journey. Feel free to contact me by email if you would like some like-minded support or help. I'll do what I can, although of course I am only human. Your experiences and suffering gives you compassion, and that is a very valuable and rare commodity, these days. ♥

  6. QUESTION:
    how do you manage in life with so many problems?
    im 31 , ( yes same familiar story ) - but ive endured a hard, harsh life of pain, misery and unfairness. abuse , prison time , time in a psyche hospital etc.

    as a result missed out on a life of goals and normal life : building relationships , working , getting an education and , everything else.

    supposed to do physio exercises and attend physio appointments for a torn ankle tendon that was repaired in my left ankle many weeks ago.

    ankle still feels wobbly and weak. hoping it was repaired successfully.

    lived on sickness pay disability for 5 years in a one bedroom apartment owning few possessions except a computer, - ive done well holding it together but mostly lived as a recluse because of agoraphobia..

    im asking my gp for an in-dependant assessment right now because, even though i accept i have BPD, i strongly think i have co existing anxiety disorders that need to be tested for being : ptsd , ocd or gad.

    i got out of a psyche unit yesterday, because i had a mental breakdown a week back and went in voluntarily.

    the psyche services are still not providing what i want because of lack of resources , mainly on going - psychotherapy.

    my psychiatrist has given me medication an anti depressant with good results which ive just started , so im happy about that at least.

    but they wont further assess me because they said i just have the bpd, they agree i need psychotherapy but cant do nothing because of lack of resources..

    i felt i always slipped through the net and never got the right treatment from the mental health services since my mental health problems began 16 years ago.

    all the mental health services can offer is a support worker to help me go out practically to face my extreme anxiety and agoraphobia.

    so....ive lived a very lonely life for so long....missed out on : many , many things.

    still struggle with great5 anxiety and panic attacks outside, on edge with people...have difficulty interacting and mixing with people.....low self worth.....difficulty controlling impulsive aggression.

    but know that i cant no longer isolate myself from the planet or else, it will get worse.

    still want to achieve goals in life of developing meaningful relationships....travel....live in a small coastal village......get a job online or qualifications as a computer job worker.

    but have a very hard path to go down.

    so -

    how do i manage in life with so many difficult problems ?

    • ANSWER:
      Mental health care is the poor relation of the NHS (ie: the dept that gets the least funding). Therefore, they prioritise funds on what are classed as `high risk` patients (ie, unstable psychosis, bipolar disorder....not that those people get what they need, either).
      I suggest that you accept the help you are being offered. Many people would love to have a support worker which will maybe help you deal with some of your problems. If it is seen that you are willing to compromise a bit by agreeing to working with the support worker, perhaps that would increase the likliehood of you being referred to your much-desired psychotherapy.
      Life IS a very hard path for many people (lots of them don`t get to see the age of 31, so...). Look at the positives - you are living independantly, you get the state benefis you are entitled to (many do not), you not only have a computer but have internet access. Please try to appreciate those things.

  7. QUESTION:
    I have a huge medical problem that needs to be solved?
    Things to know about me before my story that may help you:
    •Male
    •20 years old
    •176 pounds
    •Has not excercised since July
    •Works Evening Shifts
    •Diagonosed in 2006 with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
    •Was very healthy before all this, fit, active, great social life
    •Caucasion
    •5 feet 9 inches tall
    •Lean

    On May 8, 2008 I go in to the dentist to have one wisdom tooth removed, the procedure goes fine, I go home and am given Tylenol 3, Steroids, and Antibiotics. Well of course I am having terrible side effects so I call my doctor on May 11 and he says stop the antibiotics and Tylenol, use salt water rinses and Advil. I still feel weird 2 weeks after stopping the meds so I pay a visit to the doctor and tell him my first of many symptoms to come. I tell him that I feel drowsy at times, dizzy, and I feel like I’m not always there, and it was very hard to explain the feeling of not being there, after a few weeks of searching on the net, I found out the feeling of not being there is a very common occurrence that happens during a panic attack called Derealization. So the doctor and I agree that I suffer from Anxiety from my stressful work envoronment (Restaurant Supervisor). The doctor at first refused to give me meds for this and told me to relax. That didn’t work so I was put on a weak dose (5mg) of Cipralex, a SSRI antidepressant which can also be used for Anxiety. He said take it for a month and tell me how you feel. It was perfect timing too because I had a 10 day vacation coming up. Well the vacation did nothing for me; 3 weeks into treatment I have every side effect from the pill, worse anxiety, muscle twitiching (like my hands actually moved on their own it was scary)constipation, irritation, personality change, etc. So I was taken off of them at the end of August, I started them at the end of July. I felt much better after getting off the pills many symptoms went away like anxiety and drowsiness and the derealization. My sex drive also returned. Despite all of those symptoms disappearing I still had this vague feeling like something was wrong with me (malaise). Well I was right because I still had minor tremors (hand shakieness), started getting frequent headaches, and started getting muscle disconfort in my hamstring area. That translated into pain and now the arms feel weak too, my grip doesn’t feel as tight and I have to try harder to move my limbs, not much harder, but a noticeable difference. I started getting pain in my testicles, I had this problem 2 years ago but it went away on its own, the only thing the ultrasound showed was a 2mm calcification on my right kidney, which was nothing serious, but now my pain has returned. Going to see a urololgist on October 29th. Sharp chest pain that I had 2 years ago diagnosed as Chest Wall Pain has also returned. Now I am getting pain in my jaw and tooth where the surgery was performed almost 5 months after the surgery and I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me. The newest symptom is photophobia, not meaning im scared of light but meaning light outside hurts my eyes even with my transitional glasses on. I told my mom all of these symptoms and she is starting to think I am a hyperchondriac, which is why I’m scared to tell my doctor all of these symptoms, he’ll think its ridculous for a human being to have this many symptoms. I have not seen the doctor since the end of August because his diagonosis was stress at the workplace, see how your life is when you go back to school in septemeber and see if symptoms go away. They have not so I am going back but I want some feedback first. Did the surgery like trigger something in my body? Did the surgeon hit a serious nerve and screw up everything? Is all this stuff have nothing to do with the surgery is it all just a coincidence?

    After doing a lot of research trying to figure out whats wrong the closet conditions or disorders that sound like what I have are linking to the thyroid.

    •Silent Thyroiditis, it is Thyroiditis that is hard to detect and you go through phases, first hyperthyroidism which causes anxiety, then after 3 months hypothyroidism, which is the opposite, and coincidentally my anxiety disappeared after 3 months, and then you go back to normal, and the cycle repeats for a year. So maybe currently I’m in the hypothyroidism stage?

    •Hyperthyroidism

    •Hypothyroidism

    •Thyroid Cancer

    •Encephalitis

    These are about the only things I found so far that have most of my symptoms. Any help would be appreaciated. I have a list below of all my symptoms, not all were mentioned up top.

    Symptoms in Chronological Order:
    •Malaise (I have this big feeling that I don’t feel normal or I don’t feel like what I once was)
    •Drowsiness (Gone now)
    •Dizziness (Only when I have a headache or come out of an elevator)
    •Derealization (Gone now)
    •Anxiety (Gone now, though I do worry about whats wrong with me, but no panic attacks)
    •Progressive Muscle Weakness (Legs are worse,
    amoxicillin was the antibiotic i was on, i took it for 3 days because of its side effects.

    • ANSWER:
      What was the name of the antibiotic that your dentist gave you back in the beginning of all this?

      If you can find out the name of the antibiotic, and the class of antibiotics that it is from you can search the Internet for long term side effects. There are numerous antibiotics out there that are known to cause long term side effects of anxiety, depersonalization and derealization. It only takes one dose for the side effects to occur and be long lasting.

      I found one website with information but you can find more reading on it with a little research. I know of people who have had these reactions for months after taking an antibiotic. Maybe it isn't what is going on with you, but it might be worth looking into. I know a lot of doctors, no matter what the research says, tend to not like to listen when it comes to side effects of drugs. Doctors get bonuses from drug companies.

  8. QUESTION:
    has anyone had a similar experience with their health and mental health services?
    at my last gp practice that i was with a year ago, they were very aloof, dismissive, patronizing , argumentative with me when i would make appointments about things i was worried about, i got exasperated one day and had enough, i said sternly to the doctor , '' i dont come here to be spoken to this way by my doctor or health professionals, im going to make a complaint '' - i then walked out and i made a formal complaint with an external agency.

    they incorrectly logged i had an aggressive outburst and put it in my medical notes - i left there of my own accord , because their attitude was very hostile especially after id complained.

    the present GP practice im with, they seem to have a fairer attitude but still seem a bit alien and aloof , abrupt. plus you can't choose which doctor you want to see in the practice , you have to see the doctor you chose when you joined the surgery , the doctor allocated to you..

    anyone else have the same experience at their surgery ?

    ive had psychological disorders most of my adult life due to an unbelievable sh!t unfortunate life, and my experience with the psychiatric services has been bitter and miserable - not always had consistent help of therapy or diagnoses , slipped through the net , struggled to get proper help.

    2 years ago i was diagnosed with BPD personality disorder and my psychiatrist agreed i need intensive psychotherapy , psycho-dynamic therapy , but theres no resource for the therapy in my area, so im having to take what their offering which is occupational therapy to get me integrated back into society because ive been isolated and a recluse for so long.

    my psychiatrist has no power over what services are available or whats on offer he can just recommend - from my observation.

    ive suffered with these symptoms all my adult life : impulsive aggressive outburst, struggling to control rage and aggression, losing control of conduct , paranoia that people might be against me, panic and anxiety about being outside thats turned into agoraphobia - racing , scattered thoughts everyday , forgetting things, post traumatic stress symptoms , panicking perceiving threatening behavior from other males , reacting with intense severe aggression. fluctuating moods everyday , severe depressions one minute , feeling ok the next - nightmares , flashbacks.

    ive suffered alot of things in my life like bullying, attacks, being singled out , head injuries in a street attack because i lost control of rage - time in a mental hospital. had an unbelievable sh1t existence so far - im now 31 nearly.

    my psychiatrist said all the symptoms i have are basically as a result of my traumatic life experience and that i have no mental illness or psychosis .
    he said i have good intellect and great insight into my problems.

    he is adamant i dont have a mental illness like bi polar or another mental illness.

    he refuses to prescribe any medications because he said they dont work in the long term and can be incredibly addictive, and they wont work for me. even though i asked for some medication that is non addictive to help with my symptoms...

    like i said individual psychotherapy is not available in my area due to no resources and no funding - so im having to take what their offering which is the occupational therapy to help me ' practically ' to exposure therapy to my fears and anxieties - to get me integrated back into society to attend resource centres etc.

    im hoping the therapy i asked for will become available at some point, the 1 on 1 psychotherapy.
    although im a bit in bewilderment that they' re resolute about giving any medication.

    has anyone else had these type of problems or experiences with their services ?

    i worry im on my own with this treatment and sh1t service and everybody else is getting the right, ideal help and support except me from their health services.

    • ANSWER:
      My Lord of the Meadows - Plants and all,
      This time I will play your game! (Well it's not really a game).
      I've been very disappointed with the way my doctor has been treating me lately. I had an appointment yesterday and after talking to him for a few moments, I stood up and said "I don't expect to be treated like this when I come here for help. You're acting like there's nothing wrong with me and I am suffering and need your attention. I am going to report you to the AMA". Then I walked out.
      He had the nerve to write in my chart that I had an aggressive outburst!
      What the heck else would he call it? "She chatted a bit about not liking the way she was being treated". "She mentioned she was unhappy with her care". He's going to protect his donkey! And it WAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTBURST!
      Face the fact that many doctors are aloof and abrupt. They have dozens of patients to see everyday and if they don't speed through them they'll be in the office until midnight.
      In the 4th paragraph you say, "2 years ago i was diagnosed with BPD personality disorder". In the 8th paragraph you say, " my psychiatrist said all the symptoms i have are basically as a result of my traumatic life experience and that i have no mental illness or psychosis."
      Did the psychiatrist change his mind?
      At this point, I realize you have had a terribly traumatic life. I know you're not getting the right kind of therapy. Have you learned, online, as much about your illnesses as you can and then learned about treatments for them. Have you tried online, self help therapy?
      I know you're not taking any medication, I know you're dwelling on your past, I know you have no education, yet you want to have a computer job. Have you been online to see what kind of computer jobs there are and what you need to study to get one of them. Two of my daughters have computer jobs, with attending 6 figure salaries. One is in the software end, the other is in the hardware end. You have to have credentials before you are going to get a "computer job". No time like the present to get started!
      You may very well be on your own with your treatment, so instead of asking lay people on Yahoo! Answers questions, why don't you use your time wisely and find out the information you want to know from Doctors and Medical Websites that have the correct information. WebMD.com is a good one, emedicine.com is another and there are many others.
      You're list of complaints is endless, from your past and now. I've never heard you say one good thing about anything or anybody, except when you mentioned your strong, powerful friend today, or yesterday.
      Your last paragraph is the perfect analogy of your thinking:
      "i worry im on my own with this treatment and sh1t service and everybody else is getting the right, ideal help and support except me from their health services."
      If you think that's true, I'm sure it must be! The whole world is out to get you, I'm afraid.

  10. QUESTION:
    has most of you with with mental health probs or BPD or ptsd - been able to get the therapy you need ?
    What do you do when they tell you thers no psychotherapy in your area & authority figures are dismissive ?

    and authority figures are being dismissive towards you about it ?

    telling you thers no individual psychotherapy on offer in your area ?

    ive been refered for group therapy assesment but they told me in the conclusion of their assesment that because ive been isolated because of bad anxiety for a while that intense group therapy would be too much right now , so they didnt accept me right now saying i should try a lesser intense resource centre nearer to me where they do drop ins, crafts etc to get me mixing well with people, to get me integrated better..

    they said intense group therapy, where your in a challenging environment might well stir up aggressive feelings or it would be to much at this stage.

    they wont offer me any meds for my BPD and ptsd because they said their to addictive and wont help..

    theyve told me thers no individual psychotherapy in my area available and when i question them they are quite dismissive about the idea.

    for along time throughout my life ive struggled with rage, aggression , antisocial behaviour, bad panic anxiety, aggrophobia , paranoia , racing thoughts , obsessiveness because of a very difficult , traumatic life.

    ive faced aloof dismissive authority figures in the past , ie ; my last doctors surgery, they were very dismissive abrupt, condescending, on the verge of causing arguments with me. i made complaints about them and left of my own accord because they made me feel uncomfortable then they tried to turn it around on me like i was inappropriate and aggressive..

    so now i have a fear of dismissive authority figures and being at the mercy of their judgements.

    in life i have suffered severe low self esteem, suffered bullying and victimisation.

    i have missed out sadly on relationships in life, on employment, on studying and gaining qualifications , iam 30 , have BPD and ptsd and am starting from scratch literally.

    sometimes i feel truly fckd because i have a minor criminal record going back 7 years and a long psychiatric record.

    i live alone in a one bedroom flat, i own nothing except a old computer.

    alot of the times i dont have answer and easily let people undermine me, belittle me, condescend me, treat me as inferior, conduct mind games.......like they take controlof my mind....................................... like ; i cannot control my own mind.

    i cannot summon the immortal force to combat these people, to control the mind , so then i become angry and enraged.

    i dont have any way to deal with these people except to feel rage.

    i cannot summon the force and the strength to control my mind.

    iam not a tough guy, far from it, but i struggle with rage, because of severe bullying in my earlier years , way after the 80s era....

    i hate the fact i connot combat these attacks by people at times, iam banished and feel defeated.

    sadly theres no individual psychotherapy or DBT in my area.

    ive never had the treatment ive needed alot in my life, slipped through the net, ive missed out a gret deal in life , and now i feel left behaind in life at many disadvantages because of my psychiatric and criminal past 7 years ago.

    so what do i do? be insistant on psychotherapy and kick up fuss that their saying there isnt any ?

    or do i go along with what their proposing , this resource centre to helpme integrate with people better with a later view of being re refered back for group therapy?

    what would you do ?
    i feel i need some kind of one on one psychotherapy , i feel as though im being neglected them saying thers none available.

    • ANSWER:
      I have had PTSD for 4 years and I haven't found a therapist yet, they all tell me that I'm too far gone, but I guess they are right, I have the same nightmare every night, I have a panic attack at least twice a day, I can't be within a few meters of females, my hands are always shaking, I can't concentrate, my mind is always filled with bad memories and I have flashbacks every hour or two if I'm lucky. Nobody wants to help me and I feel like there is nothing I can do, I have tried so many therapists, but none of them can help me, there is only one person who can come close to me, she is my only friend, life for me sucks really bad, if you have PTSD, I know how you feel, it's horrible, I wish you luck on finding a therapist.

  12. QUESTION:
    Depression or something else? ?
    Im a 21 yr old white female. I have had alot of emotional problems since I was about 13..fastfoward to about a year ago. I developed a really bad anxiety but for no particular reason. when I was in confined spaces or if there was to many ppl in a room. I would loose my hearing, my heart rate would supress, and overall I would feel like I couldnt control myself, several times I blacked out. Its the strangiest feeling as if you were dieing..well I dealt with that until jan 2011 when my dad insurance kicked back in. I saw my obygn he explained to me my anxiety is brought on by depression that he thnks iv had since I was a teenager & he then put me zoloft (to take daily) and kolnopin (to use as needed)...at first the zoloft was great I dint feel so depressed. Then I started twitching horribly so I switched to lexapro. I revealed to my doctor iv been using my medical marijuana in conjuction with my meds and he imformed me if I continue to smoke pot he will no longer give me my anti depressants or my kolnopin (which is my saftey net just knowing I have them in my purse helps me control my panic attacks)...so I decided to wein myself off and I did so fine.

    My descion.to end my med came after 3months of treatment,I was never diagnoised (was it depression was it just simple anxiety?) I have no idea... Iv been off the antidepressants for about 1month now& I feel worse then I did before I lay in bed and cry every nite, every morning for no reason..im a total b word to my friends and family and I feel like my life is worthless the only thng that make my emotional outbursts stop is taking a kolnopin. I also scratch at my neck when im stressed to the point its bleedin but I cant feel wen im doin it. I also still twitch bad. Both those dint start untill after I got off my meds and I.nvr had those problems before I started them..
    Ima smart woman, I recognize my problems, im self destructive, self mutilating bt I just dnt know wat to do anymore.

  17. QUESTION:
    What do you do when they tell you thers no psychotherapy in your area & authority figures are dismissive ?
    and authority figures are being dismissive towards you about it ?

    telling you thers no individual psychotherapy on offer in your area ?

    ive been refered for group therapy assesment but they told me in the conclusion of their assesment that because ive been isolated because of bad anxiety for a while that intense group therapy would be too much right now , so they didnt accept me right now saying i should try a lesser intense resource centre nearer to me where they do drop ins, crafts etc to get me mixing well with people, to get me integrated better..

    they said intense group therapy, where your in a challenging environment might well stir up aggressive feelings or it would be to much at this stage.

    they wont offer me any meds for my BPD and ptsd because they said their to addictive and wont help..

    theyve told me thers no individual psychotherapy in my area available and when i question them they are quite dismissive about the idea.

    for along time throughout my life ive struggled with rage, aggression , antisocial behaviour, bad panic anxiety, aggrophobia , paranoia , racing thoughts , obsessiveness because of a very difficult , traumatic life.

    ive faced aloof dismissive authority figures in the past , ie ; my last doctors surgery, they were very dismissive abrupt, condescending, on the verge of causing arguments with me. i made complaints about them and left of my own accord because they made me feel uncomfortable then they tried to turn it around on me like i was inappropriate and aggressive..

    so now i have a fear of dismissive authority figures and being at the mercy of their judgements.

    in life i have suffered severe low self esteem, suffered bullying and victimisation.

    i have missed out sadly on relationships in life, on employment, on studying and gaining qualifications , iam 30 , have BPD and ptsd and am starting from scratch literally.

    sometimes i feel truly fckd because i have a minor criminal record going back 7 years and a long psychiatric record.

    i live alone in a one bedroom flat, i own nothing except a old computer.

    alot of the times i dont have answer and easily let people undermine me, belittle me, condescend me, treat me as inferior, conduct mind games.......like they take controlof my mind....................................... like ; i cannot control my own mind.

    i cannot summon the immortal force to combat these people, to control the mind , so then i become angry and enraged.

    i dont have any way to deal with these people except to feel rage.

    i cannot summon the force and the strength to control my mind.

    iam not a tough guy, far from it, but i struggle with rage, because of severe bullying in my earlier years , way after the 80s era....

    i hate the fact i connot combat these attacks by people at times, iam banished and feel defeated.

    sadly theres no individual psychotherapy or DBT in my area.

    ive never had the treatment ive needed alot in my life, slipped through the net, ive missed out a gret deal in life , and now i feel left behaind in life at many disadvantages because of my psychiatric and criminal past 7 years ago.

    • ANSWER:
      i to have the same problem i have an inital consultation and then i get told im not ready for that sort of therapy.

      i have just lost my 6th therapist(he is going to uni) and there are no other options.... im at a loss as to what to do now.

      they have me on a cocktail of drugs, i cant afford to go private and i wanna get better. i have bipolar PSTD OCD BPD and it really messes my head up not being able to get the help.

      think they really need to help the people who want to get helped..... but where are they?!

    • ANSWER:
      Anyone who believes you and are thus "discouraged" from joining NEVER had any business attempting military service in the first place. They would have just washed out...AFTER having taxpayer money wasted on them in at least trying to get them trained. Glad you were able to spare the taxpayers from more waste. The military wants people who can think for themselves, not fall prey to your paranoia-born propoganda.
