Hello! I am a 17-year-old girl and I have had a problem since I was 15 years old. Suddenly something happens to me. As I stand, it is as if something is entering me. I'm starting to tremble, I can't eat or drink anything, I'm sick ... I can't calm down. Whatever I do and think doesn't work for me. It passes after 3-4 hours completely. But in me the fear continues. And I think: If it happens again, what do I do? and others. similar. And the worst thing is when you wake up from sleep. I'm starting to sweat, I'm spinning like crazy, no no, I'm not passing. I have several friends my age who have told me that they are just like me. I went to my GP and he told me he was from puberty and not to worry. Yes, but when it starts ... what do we do ... Nothing helps. I started drinking some soothing herbal syrup "Neoropan" helps somewhere, but when fear enters me nothing helps. I can't travel long distances because that's what happens to me on the road. I'm afraid to be in places where it happened. Is it a panic attack or is it just puberty, because it's not just me. I will be grateful if you give me some advice on what to do. I don't want to go to a neurologist because I'm afraid they will give me antidipressants. Thanks in advance for the answers!

I was just like you, maybe worse. I didn't go out for fear that something would happen to me, and when I went out for coffee I was really sick, I went to the ambulance and they told me it was from coffee, alcohol, and I didn't even drink. I did tests and everything was fine, but I didn't feel that way .. and I went to a psychiatrist, I was prescribed antidepressants and so I drank them for 7 months .. before them I tried Validol, Valerian - I reached 5-6 tablets and still I didn't passed. I don't want to scare you, but go to a psychiatrist, tell me what worries you. It's all about stress and nerves. You will be fine, but you need medication prescribed specifically for you
Psychologist. Go to a psychologist, not a psychiatrist. I would advise the same number one. Taking medication can make the problem worse in the long run, and one therapy can solve the problem. Don't worry, if it's PA - it's not a disease, nothing bad can happen to you. It's just a natural reaction of your body to fear. Don't worry, go to a psychologist.
When I was 17, I was in that position. I was afraid to go to school, because similar things happened there, even though I was in control. I even fainted. Then I got quite scared and started going to the doctors, and finally I got to a psychologist. I drank valerian and even once took 8 at once ostensibly to have an effect, but it didn't happen. And I drank validol, without effect. Over time, however, I recovered, but sometimes it happens again when I'm under stress. I turn black, start sweating with anxiety and tremble. I guess yours is a panic attack, but if these symptoms persist go to a specialist. Better to prescribe medication than to feel that way.
I have never had such a problem, but I know a girl on YouTube who has suffered from panic attacks for years and talks a lot about her problem, there is even a book. Look for her, her name is Vanesa Videnova. It can help you. Success! This is a serious problem and I think it is quite irresponsible for your GP to tell you that you are "worried" and that it was only from puberty. I believe you will be fine, but you just have to pay attention to that.
From what he described, I think you're getting panic attacks. Do not rush to go to a psychiatrist there, they will immediately give you medication. Go better - to a psychologist first. Do not be afraid! I know it sounds trite, but just when you feel like you're having a panic attack, try to readjust your brain. Count to 3 and tell yourself I'm not afraid, I'm excited to go there and I can't wait! Accept my panic attacks! Tell yourself I'm getting panic attacks and don't worry! Pills do not always help. If you get panic attacks from riding a bus, for example, get on the bus and travel with it. Get used to it. Go up and don't go down, even if you feel sick. Get on and travel until you reach the stop. Try it! I will be happy if I helped with something!
Not exactly a panic attack. They are usually shorter and stronger, although there is a recovery period after them that may take longer. It seems to me that you have anxiety. Anxiety is a step before panic attacks. It is possible that you have been attacked several times, after which you have become anxious that everything will happen again. This is a very important point. The more you think about these nervous states, the more you provoke them with your fears. That's why panic attacks are so hard to overcome, they make you wary, they make you forget about the normal way you lived before. You start avoiding restaurants because there are a lot of people, it worries you and you get a seizure, you avoid public transport, long distances, closed rooms, you are afraid of exams and a lot of other things, which have not been in your head before as dangerous situations. There are many options to deal with. According to a book I haven't read, but listened to a review from a vlogger, the option is to ignore the anxiety. In my opinion, it is too aggressive an approach and I do not think it is suitable for people who have not yet fully realized the problem. The idea is not to carry lifeguards, to get on the bus and just stay on it, overcoming the stress of inaction to see that nothing bad will happen. I know people who have had such anxiety in such large quantities that they have reached very clear, purely physical, unhealthy states. I won't tell you about them so I don't scare you. Nobody died, don't worry. I share the method informatively, but I want to note that I personally do not support it. Another option is to carry Validol, Valerian or other herbal medicine and take it during a nervous breakdown, not earlier and not after. It's like a lifeline. You are confident that you have an option. I took the pill, put it under my tongue and relaxed. You have the option to cope without any medication. You breathe deeply, go out into the fresh air, drink some water, then sit somewhere, relax your body and look around, concentrating on something soothing for you (children playing; birds flying; the green crown of the trees; the voices of your friends). The last option I know, but I also do not support, is to go to a psychiatrist to prescribe antidepressants. I think you're too young to do that. Once you start, it's hard to stop. In anxiety, this is the bad, that a person clings to a decision and then never wants to give it up. Because, sort of, antidepressants help you, and you see, without them you won't survive a day. Medicines are insidious. They definitely help the fastest, they are effective, but then one thinks that it is good only because he drinks them. You need to know that anxiety is based on your own thoughts and fears. There is no external factor to help you, you can help yourself by learning to relax and calm down. Reassurance is individual, everyone copes differently. It is possible in part due to puberty because you are young, your emotions are very turbulent and your hormones are able to drive you crazy. But the real reason is that you yourself are nervous, anxious, emotional at times. It is fixable. You will learn to deal with yourself. There are so many people who experience the same thing to varying degrees. You're not sick, you're not crazy. Everything is fine, it's normal, your nerves are just tense. Your body is trying to tell you that you need to slow down a bit and relax more. Many people are helped by different hobbies, time spent only for themselves, friends, parents, spouses help. Basically, the idea is to have something in your life, something that makes you smile. To cling to the good and concentrate mainly on it. I had similar conditions to yours when I went against myself for almost a year. I didn't like the city, I didn't like the people, I didn't like my job, I didn't like my apartment, I didn't have free time or favorite activities. Eventually I overheated and felt unwell for months. I was not sad, but I had chronic fatigue and frequent panic attacks. I solved the problem, when I returned to my old way of life. I went out every day, it may have been to the store, but I did it so as not to stay closed. I continued with my hobbies, I spent a lot of time with them, even though I had a job. I met people I love and they love me too. It sounds paradoxical, but anxiety turned out to be one of the good things that happened to me because it made me open my eyes in a way that cannot be forgotten. First I changed my attitude towards myself. I didn't treat myself like a loved one. I was overwhelmed, angry, not giving up on things that only poisoned me. Then I started to "pamper" myself, the attacks decreased drastically, and I learned to listen to my body and not overdo the commitments. so as not to linger indoors.

From the author: Thank you very much for the answer. I'm scared, or rather I don't want to take antidepressants, because I think I'll get used to it as a child and I won't be able to give them up. Pcs
Have you tested your vitamin B12 levels? Read more on the topic on the Internet. Very low levels can cause these symptoms but doctors in BG are not on time.
From the author to number 6: Thank you very much. It calmed me down a lot. You understand me very well, as do you and the others. Thank you very much !!
Never take antidepressants! Never, ever think of doing it! They fill up an awful lot, even if you eat a little, and the weight gained is very difficult to lose. In general, antidepressants cost your whole body! I tell you from experience. Don't drink.
I had similar symptoms years ago. Visit a good cardiologist - see if you have heart rate problems / fast or slow /. If you have heart problems, it may be due to diabetes - let them do a test called "glucose overload". I've been through this and it wasn't until years later that I was diagnosed with a fast heart rate due to high blood sugar. After proper treatment and a good combination of drugs, I have long since forgotten about this problem. It's just a pity that I lost years until I got the right diagnosis.
Hello, Talk to a priest, if you are not baptized, get baptized, go to church, and when you feel bad, pray to God, in the name of Jesus Christ to protect you. Take holy water from a temple (if there is an Epiphany, even better) and drink a little of it every day.
Lots of religious fanatics on this site. An interesting contrast with the morally degraded on the site.
Up to 12 And to think that there are Jews, Muslims and others among us, eh? And how will this holy water help you? Because people who lost children to disease, even though they prayed, sprinkled holy water and were good people.
13, considering that religious fanatics are not really more morally degraded. Everything is more forgivable than the distortions of fanaticism. Whichever rubbish you catch, you will have more humanity and compassion for your neighbor than a fanatic who has decided to judge ...
