Ive been ths way for a while. I had an abusive fam growing up and now that im grown whenever ppl argue around me or be violent or i get rejected or feel isolated by the important ppl n my life i get a overwelming panic. And it happens when ppl yell at me or be demanding. I hate it . It makes me feel kinda trapped. I lashed out on my mom before because she triggered my anxiety. I really wana control it. But its hard when im constantly around my insensitive family. Is this normal? What should i do. Medication isnt really helping this feeling go away. all i can think of is God.

    Are you doing counseling with the medication? I'm pretty sure you are supposed to be doing counseling and medication at the same time.

    Meditate! It's proven to reduces stress and anxiety. And the only way to stop anxiety is by controlling your mind. When you feel anxious you're either thinking about a past situation or a situation that hasn't even occurred yet. Anxiety never happens in the present. So next time you feel anxious just stop and think about where you are at that moment. Just focus on the present. And learn to meditate. If god scares you then go online and read about Buddhism it can change your life! Good luck :)

    Theres different meds...Ive been on like 5 in the past 10 years since I was diagnosed...I eventually found the perfect one. It takes time, but it WILL get better. Dont give up.

    Well, I have severe anxiety...except I dont know the reason why I do. I guess its just genetic in my family. I take medicine for it, & it helps me 99% of the time. I would suggest talking to your doctor about meds, going to counseling, or staying away from your family as much as possible..esp if theyre abusive. You could even try to get them to go to family counseling. Theres many options...but doing nothing/meditating & hoping it goes away, wont work. Meditation is great, & works sometimes. Its a chemical imbalance in your brain. You need to learn behaviors from a med professional to help, or seek the other options. Good luck.
