The key will be diversion.  When we focus on the problem or the issue, we amplify it and actually it cane become worse.  So the best advice is to do something different, each day.  The best thing anyone can do for any emotional concern is something physical.  It is as simple as walking.  Go for a walk.  Gradually make it a longer walk or walk for a longer time, but keep it fun and enjoyable, something you look forward to doing and want to do.\n\nIf you are physically able, begin a simply program of running.  I am 65 now and run regularly.  I can easily say, I work at staying nice and staying happy.  And it works.

Yes I know about it because the person is me.It used to be that I would wash my hands so much, that the skin would crack . And forget about picking up anything that was even remotely gross or dirty, I'd freak out and run to the sink and scrub for minutes at a time. I was driving my Husband crazy, and myself . So I got help. I went to a therapist and he put me on medication to ease the symptoms, and I see him to get a handle on this sometimes debilitating condition . The med. that worked for me was Prozac , which will also help with panic disorder. Get your Boy into the therapist as soon as possible .I'm sorry to say that it is unlikely that He will grow out of it . These things only get worse over time.Good luck, hope it all works out for You and your Son.

I had epilepsy of some or other sort as a child, i do not remember what kind though, but I stayed away from all forms of stress, that included me playing basketball (I was very competitive in it). I also tried to remain as calm as I could always, and watched out for anything that I did, watched, spoke about, ate, etc... and saw the different reactions to it... and now, i dont have it anymore, i have stayed away from a lot of things... maybe you could try doing this too, I hope you get over it...

I would suggest the dr and have him set you up with a pyschologist as well as a accupuncturist and massage therapy.. it works.  I have not have had surgery.  I so glad i didn't.\n\nI did the other ones. I think it is the best thing to do.  I didn't know you could even order medications on line.  I thought you needed a dr's script.

This is a serious illness in which I also have.  I take medication and go to cognitive behavioral therapy.  This helps you to "train" and "change" your thoughts from bad ones and get rid of the "what ifs."\n\nI usually suffer when driving and it is scary.  Hang in there, I know that it is a long fight, but maybe it is good to know that you are not alone :)

You will have to go to the doctor and be diagnosed and get written paperwork from him to take the the SSI office. You also have to go to the SSI office of course.\n\nSounds to me like you have a fear of public, medically referred to as "Agoraphobia" this is often caused by anxiety, or accompanies it.\n\nI have had GAD - general anxiety disorder, for about 20 years. I also have PTSD. I can tell you from experience that you need to get out of the house or you will only get worse. As someone posted above, you cannot die from an anxiety attack. Are you on any medications for this? If not I highly recommend getting some. It may take a while for you to find the right med for you as everyone is different, but it WILL change your life when you find it. I work full time and volunteer whwnever possible at my daughters school. My GAD had not completely gone away, but it has became much, much  more manageable. For me, Xanax has helped more than anything else ever has. \n\nI know several great websites and even a wonderful chat room where there are nothing except people with anxiety and related disorders. This has helped me alot. Just being able to talk to others who are going through the same thing you are can ease your mind alot.  If you wouls like this information I would be glad to share it with you. Just email me through here.  I will also be glad to chat with you and share my personal experiences and ways of coping with you.\n\nThe key to living with this order is learning how to manage it. You have to keep it under control and not let it control you!\n\nI wish you the best of luck!

Ask you doctor to refer you to a therapist.  I have been where you are and it practically destroyed my life.  Therapy helped enormously and I am back on an even keel now...;

it sounds like you had a bad expierence in another life time. when you go to bed tonight, keep saying that you want that part of your past lives not to bother you anymore. you might have to do it a few nights. but it will help

I have had them.  You can't cure them, not medicinally, anyhow.  You can manage them with (as the last poster said) Valium (a sedative) or Xanax (anti-panic).  I have taken Xanax, and it works, but you have to be careful with it; it's addictive.\n\nI take Klonopin (clonazepam) now, and have for years.  It pretty much does the trick.  However, it only stops the attacks; it doesn't re-wire the brain... :)

I had the same problem so my Dr offered me HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy.)  I was desperate so I started on it, and it sure did help...but then later I read so many bad things about it I went off of it and the symptoms returned for another couple of years.

definitely hypnotherapy works in your case. it will completely eradicate the traumatic experience you had as a child.

I totally appreciate that intellectually u r convinced that your fear is extremely exaggerated but u just \n"cant help yourself". I have been suffering from OCD for many years.... only about 50% of cases can be cured, and depending on severity, medication usually is taken in addition to cognitive therapy... perhaps your doc an try different medications/doses, aand maybe a combination of more than one medication, especially if you suffer from other illnesses e,g, depression or addiction , etc..\nWhat yr doctors tell you about : "keep my stress level down: sleep as much as i can, take vitamin c, go to the gym to work out stress, breathing excerises, and listening to claming music" is excellent advice. The thing I found however, you must experiment AND perservere for a while. By that I mean try different kinds of excerci8ses e.g. swimming, dancing, running, etc...when i switched from soccer to the gym i enjoyed it alot more, and i usually have the motivation to go. PERSERVERE: I read tens and listened to at least 100 different relaation tapes; i recommend quided imagery tapes with voice and backgroung music, and choose a theme which u personally find appealing (e.g. the sea, forrest etc). I learnt tens of different breathing techniques and I have been doing them for at least 6 years now, and the benifit didnt come before a few years (sorry about that!). keep yr stress down: my be you have to change your job, improve yr social life ( i found that especially helpful).\nIt is of great value to have a partner or family, maybe get married (but be careful that could turn into a major stressor if the relationsghip is unhealthy). Are u religeous or spiritual? if so persuie that avenue whether it is going to church, a mosque or whatever, it doesnt really matter what religion ...\nConcentrate on cognitivem behavioral techniques ( with help from yr doctor) and practice practice practice,,,...\nI can suggest one more thing: is there an activity whether job or hobby u have always tried to pursue but never got round to it? start doing whatever it is whatever makes u feel at peace, and do more of it...\nI hope this is helpful..good luck

I suffer aswell..ive tried loads of things. I have refused to go on tablets because they only help the symptoms of the attacks, not the root cause of them.\nIts taken me five years to talk about it with someone. I have gone 3 times to a hypnotherapist / psychotherapist and it has really helped. Ive found out why I feel like this. Im learning what triggers the attacks and the hypnotherapy is helping me to change how i think about myself etc.\nExercise is vital really to managing them. Going for walks and all..it helps the anxiety to subside.\nIve cut out sugar and coffee in my diet aswell, these things kind of make anxiety worse. its true that food has an effect on your mind and body.\nAnyway....if you want to talk then you can pm me or mail me cos i know what youre going through.

Yes   go back and see your Dr and let him know you are having these problems.   They should be able to provide you some relief.
