Hi Ashley,
Nice to meet you. I get the faint feelings too and am afraid of attacking in front of people. But there is not judgement here so please vent all you want.

Hi Ashley007,
 
Welcome to our online support community and thank you for sharing your story with us. There are many people within this support group that share the same questions and concerns as you.  We are all a group of individuals who support each other.  


If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests.  These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.


We also have developed a Panic Program.  This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above.  Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead.  
 
These tests may or may not be for you but they are "free".  If you have any question or concerns with our “TOOLS”, you can contact us at support@paniccenter.net.  We are the Support Specialist for The Panic Center and are open to any questions or concerns you may have.


Please continue to strive forward and lean on us for support, check in soon!

I can certainly understand your fear. You do not want people to think you are crazy. You do not have to see a psychiatrist. They deal mostly in actual mental diseases. An ordinary MD can diagnose whether this is actually panic. As far as medication goes, if your case is mild you may not need it for very long. Probably only long enough for the program to work if you should choose to do it. It can work on its own if you want to try it alone but my recommendation is that if it isn't working then take the medication to help it. You are going through a stressful time in your life and it is not unusual to need help. Also the longer you wait the more seated it will become and the longer it will take to get rid of it.

Hello to anyone who reads this, im 19 and i am currently attending my first year at university and living in residence. I am not completely sure if i have a panic disorder because i have not been to a doctor yet but i have most of the symptoms and can relate to some of the stories. i honestly hate the feeling that comes over me and dont ever want to feel that way again, i feel like im going to faint and my body feels very light, its very uncomfortable. I had my first attack four days ago when me and two of my friends were talking about our fears and this feeling came over me like what i described plus my face got hot and fingers tingle. I am afraid to go to the doctors and i do not want another attack to come ive had about 8 in the past four days and i spent the whole day in my room and avoided all my friends because i didnt want to have an attack infront of people. This scares me how randomly it happened and i read peoples stories that have dealt with this for years, i certainly do not want this for years. How has people gotten rid of it? i havent told anyone about my symptoms yet except my boyfriend and he had no clue what i was talking about.
