   grow a pair. Grow a pair of lemons? What? Anyone can have panic attacks. I've never had one but it's not exclusively a girl thing at ALL.

   I have, Monster..... Usually a feeling of impending doom, like something really bad is about to happen. It has happened most often while driving, and that sucks because I need to drive to work. (about 1500 miles/week) The worse times is when I hit road construction. Here in the states they use "cattle chutes" made from 3-4' (1.25m) concrete barriers that force traffic into lanes that are just a little wider than a truck. You always see the walls of the barricades are all scraped up from people hitting them. While I still get nervous, it is not as bad as it use to be. Several times I broke out in a sweat, got the shakes and had to pull over. Bridges use to do the same thing when I was young.

   I also suffer terrible claustrophobia....to such a point that I drive with the window down several inches for air, often leave the door open when using a small powder room and even have a hard time scuba diving.

    grow a pair. Don't get that Tomas. Panic Attacks can come to anyone, even tough people like Big Ozzie gets them. I think it happens to people mostly in their 30+. You may be young at the moment and have got them to come, hope you never have them. You go scuba diving Big Oz? That's awesome, you must have seen so many brilliant things down there in the big blue sea, like another world. Thanks everyone for your comments, you rock! :)

    I have never told my parents but I have them alot if I don't take my anti-depressents/anxiety medicine. It went on like that for a year, give or take a couple months, until my mom noticed my breathing steadily increased right before I went to catch the bus, get out of a car at a public place, in a mall (that's one of the worst places for me it seems like the medicine decreases in malls) or anywhere really noisy and crowded. My parents took me to a doctor who alos has done surgery on my mom and he perscribed 10 miligrams of Lexapro which had little but still some affect. He doubled it recently but I still get very nervous and depressed, my parents and the doctor agree that they wont go any higher with the medicine because it is very dangerous for people my age to take anti-depressants. But yeah having one of those attacks almost daily was tearing my apart at the seams psyically (I was so tired) and mentally. When you have one of those you start wondering why you haven't killed yourself yet. I've scratched myself, bit myself (but neither have ever drawn blood or cut the skin) litterally ripped pieces of clothes of of myself, cryed, screamed, said to myself "Why didn't you shove that knife through your heart?", hit a wall, hid in my closet for 3 hours, taken a 6 hour bath, rocked back and fourth in a corner, possibly heard voices or hallucinated, thought of terrible "scenes" (like a movie) of me and other people in my head..... Most of these taking place inmy own bedroom. I've had to skip class because of anxiety before. I didn't tell my parents because I didn't want them to worry about me. It's very hard to deal with myself but the medicone really helps.

Keep taking the pills RK.....lots of people have this problem (but to give you a boost, lots of people I know got better too.....it didn't last forever).

Some adults have to keep pushing the dosages on their meds because they quit working and some even take 700 mg a day. Anti-depressants are a very tricky medicine. I don't know what I'll do if my meds stop working before I'm a good age to start taking stronger meds or increase dosages...

I never used to but now I spend and hour on the old exersize bike a day. Really tough but well worth it. Why do you ask?

My pal suffers from depression and I keep trying to encourage her to walk. I find it makes all the difference to one's mood. I also have friends who drink too much, and then they wonder why they feel bad (mentally). Alcohol is a DEPRESSANT.......duh! Mess too much with your brain chemistry and you're gonna end up messed in the head eventually, in my experience. Some of my pals from college are dead for that exact reason. I stay totally clean, exercise a little, and have a blast as a result. Always in a good mood. Life is good. It blasts away stress and tension. You have found this out already. Good luck!

    Wow this is really interesting that i've never known anyone who hv been suffering from anxiety and depression, although some of the reactions to these illnesses that you explain are common in me but i never guessed that it would be depression or anxiety. i just call it being sad or angry!!!! but it seem like this thing is real especially when i look at American television (not trying to categorise or anything)and i see that this is an issue. i want to hear more....

Alrigt then I'll keep up the exersize. Good luck to you too. Yes, keep taking your meds, Rocker and Piggy is right, exercise is the best med available for many ailments including depression. The glands at the base of the Brain (I believe it is the Pituitary, don't have time to check) produces Dopamine. Dopamine (where you get the term "Don't be a Dope") is an Endorphin and is addicting to the body. That is why people who exercise regularly get all pissy when they can't. This was first discovered when Jogging came into vogue. Joggers who suffered an injury and could not jog for several weeks ended up showing symptoms of withdrawal and depression. It was caused because the Dopamine was no longer being produced like it was.
21. Rocker KidSalvaged from archive6 Jan 2007, 12:07
    Yea thanks for the medical term Ozz I love Dopamine its was my favorite chemical we studied in psych! Madis. You should see your doctor and talk with her/him and see if you can get some help. I didn and I live a bit easier now.

    yeah u could be right Oz, i broke my leg a couple of years ago and i was totally pissed cause i couldn't go to the gym and stuff... luckely i had my PS2 and PC to keep me distracted but it was still a serious pain... dunno if this is connected but when i had my leg broken and i couldn't go jogging or stuff like that i sometimes had dreams where i died and then i woke up, screeming and all wet cause of all the sweat. it was gone after i could start jogging again, never went to the doctor so i don't know if it's connected to this.
