What is an anxiety attack? An anxiety attack is a short period of strong fear that happens for no reason that you know of. An anxiety attack is also known as a panic attack. An anxiety attack can be a one-time event, or can become an ongoing problem. If you have two or more anxiety attacks in a month, you may have a condition called panic or anxiety disorder. If anxiety attacks become severe (very bad), they may keep you from living a normal life. \n\nWhat causes anxiety attacks? \n\nCaregivers do not know for sure what causes anxiety attacks. Sometimes they are caused by being in a situation that you find upsetting. You may have them due to a stressful life event, such as getting divorced. You are more likely to have anxiety attacks if you also have another mental health problem. Other mental health problems include depression (feeling very sad most or all of the time), or alcoholism (abusing alcoholic drinks). Anxiety attacks may happen for no reason. Anxiety attacks can happen to anyone, regardless of age or gender.\n\n\nSome health conditions or medicines may cause anxiety attack symptoms. Using or withdrawing from alcohol or illegal drugs may also cause symptoms. Some people have anxiety attacks that are triggered (started) by the fear of having a future anxiety attack. You are more likely to have anxiety attacks if someone in your family also has them. \n\nWhat are the signs and symptoms of an anxiety attack? \n\nThe symptoms felt during an anxiety attack can feel like symptoms of a serious health problem, such as a heart problem. On the other hand, some serious health problems can cause anxiety attacks, such as heart or breathing problems. Have your symptoms checked by a caregiver to make sure they are not caused by a serious health problem.\n\n\nThe main symptom of an anxiety attack is extreme fear. Other signs and symptoms are different from person to person. The same person may even have different signs and symptoms during repeat anxiety attacks. Signs and symptoms usually do not last longer than 30 minutes. Besides fear, other signs and symptoms of an anxiety attack may include:\n\n\nChest pain.\n\n\nDizziness, or feeling light-headed.\n\n\nFear of losing control or doing something embarrassing.\n\n\nFeeling of being out of touch with people or things around you.\n\n\nHaving a feeling of doom, which is feeling like something very bad is going to happen. You may feel like you are about to die.\n\n\nHeart palpitations (pal-pi-TAY-shuns), which is becoming suddenly aware of your heartbeat. You may feel like your heart is pounding, or beating too fast.\n\n\nSweating, trembling, or having hot or cold flashes.\n\n\nStomach discomfort or upset which may include nausea (feeling sick to your stomach) or diarrhea (loose, watery BMs).\n\n\nNumbness (loss of feeling) or tingling in your hands or feet. You may have numbness or tingling of your lips or around your mouth.\n\n\nYou may feel like you cannot breathe. Some people may hyperventilate (heye-per-VEN-ti-layte) during an anxiety attack and not even notice it. Hyperventilation means that your breaths are too fast and shallow. Breathing this way can cause numbness or tingling in your hands and lips. Your fingers or toes may have cramping, or even curl up. During an anxiety attack, focus on taking very slow, deep breaths. You may need a friend or loved one to help you do this by breathing with you. Your caregiver may show you how to breathe in and out of a paper bag when you hyperventilate. Never use a plastic bag. \n\n\nWith panic or anxiety disorder, you may have anxiety attacks that happen often. These attacks often come without reason or warning. You may be troubled with a fear of having another anxiety attack. You may have a lot of anxiety attacks, followed by weeks or months without having any.\n\n\nSome people become so fearful of having anxiety attacks that they are afraid to leave their house. This is called agoraphobia (ag-or-ah-FOH-bee-ah). People with agoraphobia m

That seems to be human nature to worry.\n\nI have learned when I am worried to pause and think "how important will this problem be or will I remember it in a year?". If it won't be important or remembered I quit worrying about it.

Well done for realising you have a problem, that is the first step in the right direction, and so is asking for help too. I think you should see your doctor who can help you or reffer you to someone else who is trained in dealing with such conditions. You need to think positively, relax, and deep breathe when you think you may hurt someone. Walk away from any situation you fear may lead  you want to hurt someone. Remind your self it is not acceptable to hurt someone and that you are a nice person. Take more control in what you do by being a positive you. Has anything ever happened to you in the past to make you want to hurt someone else?? You need to ask yourself why do I want to hurt that person? Then realise what you are thinking and control it. I know it may sound easy, but it will not be. The more you do not give in the easier it will become over time, but you do need to see your doctor to get advice. Hope all will turn out well.

human being are so funny, sometime you don't want to think about it but you keep on thinking about it, sometime you wanted to think about it but you actually avoiding it. if it's important to you then think about it hard until you understand it, or just leave it be ok.

I think: Okay, let me think...........\n(and evaluate the stituation as to why it happened and how to fix it. Plus, try to fix it from happening again.) And if it's a difficult problem, I try to think of atleast 2-3 ways to try to fix the situation. So I've got 'fall back' solutions available if my first answer didn't work.\n\n\n\n Patzky, that's my new perfume do you like it???

Don't let it get to you. Don't worry so much about whats going to happen next.\n\nTake things one moment at a time and stop trying to control situations.\n\nLet it be and you'll be happy.

Focus on what you are doing and realize when your mind starts wandering. You have to keep bringing your self back to your self. And stop the daydreaming!

First let me say you are not the only one who has been through such things.  I too, have done things which I later regret but at the time I refuse to think about the consequences because at the time it feels right.  You can avoid making the same mistakes twice by learning from your first mistake.  Before you do something on impulse..evaluate the situation, think about the pros and cons and then decide if it's worth it.

I know exactly what you're going through, i have ocd too. im not going to a psycologist or anything though. its like i cant stop thinking. i think the thing that usually helps me is to go out with friends, they help me feel better and keep my mind off things.

talk to the person doing the test about your concerns and they can help you with it.  Best thing is to just keep talking to them about something completely unrelated to take your mind off it and don't look.  If you sit there waiting for it then it only makes it worse really try and distract yourself and explain fully what happened to you before to the person.

Quit thinking about the stuff you don't want and start thinking about the things you do want..  Go after what you want and don't focus on the negative things in your life....

You know you don't want to not think about it!!  You know you keep thinking about what I do to you....how's that for a 'brain exercise'?

i would call it a panic attact....very very mild...but it is still there.  are you afraid of something?  that could be that the first thoughts are pleasurable..but then the more you think about it you get this re-action.  try to get to the route of the problem.\n\nluv\nmandie

I have been like this for a while now ,someone told me the worst thing you can do is worry about it so I don't.Keep writing things down and being organised and enjoy your life and have a laugh at yourself when you do something silly.There's worse things could be wrong with you.
