Is it normal to have frequent panic attacks?

36% Normal
10 Comments

I have anxiety, paranoia, and I'm afraid to almost everything. Especially about my health, I will have panic attacks 1-3 a week or at least 6 times a month from almost anything. Sometimes I have them randomly from random anxiety. I scream (sometimes) can't breathe, chest pain, headache, feel like i'm going to die, see things, hallucinate, etc. They are terrifying half the time! I haven't been diagonsed with anything. No BD, ADHD, OCD, Schizophrenia, I'm fine my doctor said. Just general anxiety, am I the only one?

Is It Normal?

    If I were you I'd be getting a second opinion: your description sounds like you have much more than "just general anxiety". What treatment is this doctor giving you and does h/she have the full picture from you, especially about the hallucinations?

      No treatment. Yes she does. My hallucinations coule be ghost like my old dead animals or random ghosts. Or it is just feeling like something is stalking you or whatever. Like I would think that pole was a man staring at me but I turn back and it isn't or my phobias come to life.

    It could be a prodrome of some illness. Sounds more than just anxiety.

    Keep seeing your doctor until he diagnoses you with something. I'm sure he'll appreciate the patronage, lol.

    You should do better drugs.

    It is uncommon to hallucinate just from anxiety. Do you take any street drugs?

      No, I do not. I have many phobias. I just see things. It could be A apparition, silhouette, monster, etc. I don't talk to them, it happens within seconds. Turn once something is there, turn again it's not or it was just an object that I thought was something else

          Sometimes but it is usually when i have my headphones in and I think my friend or whoever is in the building with me is calling my name. Sometimes I might think I hear my cat or dog make noise but that has only happened once
