Okay, before this all happened to me I was living a peaceful life! With no worries/stress! And in April I had an anxiey attack under stress! So I really didn't know what was happening to me until I got done some researches.... And after that day I've been depressed and stressed, and stuck in my own head it makes me feel awful sad worthless etc. it's like everyday I wake up and think about how I feel I don't even pay attention on what's important around me and more I been having headaches stressing on the things probably doesn't exist has anyone been in the same place where I am? If so, tell me how could I fix this?

    Don't see a therapist or physician, or a witch doctor for that matter. The problem is not external, stress we perceive as external is amplified by the mind. Medicines and "Therapists" only offer a short term fix, you need to learn to deal with life.
    Life is Unpredictable, Absurd, Dreary, Monotonous, Wonderful, Rewarding, Puzzling, Joyful, Transient and Ephemeral. It's not this constant 'Thing' we perceive it to be, everything changes moment to moment.
    Mind allows itself to be dragged into this chaos because we are bound by a sense of duty. A duty to be a certain way, act a certain way, perform a certain way etc., etc. The Mind, fueled by Ego says "I want this, I don't want that, I need this, I'd be better with . . . ." It chases and chases and chases and we get dragged along, never feeling we quite fit or we are not as good as . . . . .
    What you need to do is jump over from the backseat and get behind the wheel, cause no-one is driving the bus.
    The Trick to Life, if you like, is to learn to quieten the mind. It chatters loads but is it all useful? You can never stop thinking, this is an impossible task, but you can learn to take less notice of the chatter.
    Is it important if such and such win the football? Probably not. How much time do fans take up worrying about their team and playing this or that team? So unnecessary.
    I'm not advocating being an emotional blank here, don't misunderstand. Emotions, whatever they are, are present and we feel them, but they are also transient.
    Learning to quieten and still your Mind is a technique that will serve you for life.
    How often do you just sit in silence? Most people struggle, they find it too deafening. In the silence not distracted or attached to anything. This is your natural state of being, we all forgot that.
    Meditation may help. Learning to help yourself now is the greatest gift you can give to your future self.

    You need to figure out what stressed you out, and do something differently. You can either surrender to this (start taking medications and seeing doctors), or nip it in the bud and get on with your life. Kinda like doing a system restore your computer.

    Anxiety is something that a lot of people have, it's a part of life. It usually comes when we're under stress, and more stress from worrying about it will make it worse. You're not saying how old you are, whether your a teen or older person? But no matter, if the anxiety is bothering you it would help you to go to a counselor or mental health professional and talk about it. She/he could help you figure out what's causing it and help you to deal with it. Anxiety is a reaction our body has to something we fear in most cases, but understanding the problem will make it easier for you.
