Everything You Need to Know About anxiety panic disorder
I suffer from anxiety disorder and I take anti depressants sometimes but they don�t help; any ideas to help me?
I'd suggest that you try and find the root cause of your anxiety disorder: is it caused by one or several problems?
Try relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga or aroma therapy.

About being anxious in a new place, I don't know exactly what you can do. Most people feel this way about the unknown, it's normal. I would try to check over the net guides about the place, to get more familiar and make plans for where to go and what to do, this way, the trip can be more pleasurable with less travel stress and anxiety.

Fight Anxiety Attacks with Logic
You are in control of your thoughts. If you allow anxiety and boredom to dominate your thinking, eventually your mental state will compromise your physical health.
Make sure you exercise. Walking is just fine, you don't need to do more than walk for 20-30 minutes 3-4 days a week; but if you can do more, you'll be amazed at how rarely you'll feel bored or anxious.
When I get overwhelmed and feel an anxiety attack coming on or things are not working out, I stop what I'm doing and go for a walk. After several years of going for a walk, starting with 1/2 mile, I now hike 3-10 miles a day, 5 days a week. My problems are the same as always, but my ability to prioritize and solve problems has vastly improved from a few simple changes.

My husband�s German Shepherd is going to be 7 this year and he has chronic anxiety attacks - not separation anxiety.
If we go outside all together, he runs around whimpering and pacing the yard. If we light a fire, he freaks out. Yesterday, we took him on a picnic and he was freaked out in the car, at the picnic table, etc.
He was neglected for the first 5 years by my husband's ex-wife, and my husband used to travel frequently. Now, the dof lives in a loving home where our three dogs are house dogs, sit on the furniture and sleep on the beds with us, but Sam just won't relax and it's so annoying that after a while I stop being so sympathetic.

Anxiety and depression are taking over my life. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to help with this? I am on meds for it and still can't seem to get out from underneath it all.

Some issues in life we encounter are difficult to deal with and at times we need to admit there is nothing we can do about it and must put them behind us and move on. It�s not easy but it will allow you space for that inner peace and help to lift your depression and banish your anxiety.
Find someone you can talk to who can help you journey through this painful part of the road that you are facing.

Alternative Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder
I have heard of St. Johns Wart. It is supposed to help with anxiety and depression.
I also get up in the morning and make goal sheets. I write down 5-6 things that I want to get done in the day. Sometimes they aren't hard things or social anxiety related, but sometimes they are.
Usually it's things like clean a room, get the laundry done, cook dinner, go shopping, call a friend, invite a friend to lunch, etc.

I'm 17 but I will be 18 in December. Every time I turn around I hear "You're going to be 18 soon, do this, that and the other thing" and I'm like "Whoa, I wasn't doing that 6 months ago, you didn't teach me how to do that and now I'm supposed to figure it out for myself."

I�m literally having panic attacks thinking about it.

Anxiety Disorder - Dehydration
Can anxiety disorder make you dehydrated? Can anxiety make you think you�re going to get sick because your throat is dry?
Not really sure that anxiety disorder can cause dehydration, but it can definitely cause your throat to go dry and make you feel like you're going to get sick.
I've also experienced the shakes, itching, and sweaty palms from anxiety, as well as had seizures from it.

Help for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Has anyone suffered from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and overcome it without anti anxiety medication?
I've had Generalized Anxiety Disorder for a number of years and for about three years I did not have the health insurance to see a doctor so I was on my own. So through some of my worst anxiety I had to do it on my own. I recommend having someone who is supportive whether it is family, friends, or a therapist.
There are also herbs out there for anxiety. Although it's no miracle cure, some of them can help you to relax so you're not so tense. I took one called htp5 and for calming me it worked the best. Also it never gave me any side effects like meds did.

Anxiety Attack Symptoms - Don't Miss Them!
"I was sitting at a traffic light the first time anxiety attack symptoms came over me. All of a sudden my heart started beating rapidly, my mouth was dry and I experienced an extreme level of fear. I felt like I couldn�t catch my breath. The anxiety attack symptoms caused the most frightening day of my life."
According to Barry the fear is born out of a worry that causes the sufferer to think "I can�t cope with this, this is too much. I can�t handle this situation."
Medications that might cause or mimic anxiety attack symptoms include bronchodilators such as ephedrine, certain weight loss drugs and methylphenidate.

Are these child anxiety symptoms?
I had her evaluated for ADHD when she was in Kindergarten and the pediatrician said she had it slightly. But then in 1st and 2nd grade the teacher's didn't seem to press the issue, so neither did we.
Should I take her back to the pediatrician, or maybe to a psychiatrist? I just remember wanting to kill myself in fourth grade and I don't want my daughter to feel that way.
