fear again

it's been good for the last two weeks with no full on anxiety. Today, I felt depressed to go to vacation from college. I fear I will have nothing to do and slowly go back to getting panic attacks. Then I felt dizzy and out of breath so I went back to bed. Then later felt better and continued to do my work in the house. Now I really felt I could not breath. The fear is in my throat and I'm taking deep breaths. I just ate as well.I'm no longer frustrated with the idea of getting panic attacks or feeling like I'm at the start of all this. My only wish is when will I be able to handle my fear of not breathing or going out of control.

Hi first time.

I am sorry that you are having a rough time at the moment. Are there any circumstances that are challenging you currently?

Are you feeling depressed at all? The statements about not being happy about vacation...and feeling hopless about your situation are pointing in that direction.

Do you have someone that you see for therapy? If not, I can recommend the therapy link in our Resources. It is called Moodgym, and is really helpful.

It coule help you to get out of the low place that is keeping you from feeling your best.

As far as your breathing symptom, can you try some meditation and relaxation exercies? Again, if you need ideas...check the Resources. The links and videos are there for you.;)

Keep posting, and know that we understand and care!

Planning some low key but enjoyable activities could go a long way in keeping you distracted and happy....keep us posted.
