Question by Ann: How can I help resolve my anxiety attacks?
I am currently on 150mg/day of EffexorXR for depression and anxiety. However, lately I have had panic attacks or anxiety attacks at least every other day. I begin feeling short of breathe, my hands start to shake and I get very antsy. I cannot take another 150 tablet during the day, but I would like to know other methods of relaxing or calming myself down (possibly without medication).
I have been on effexor for about 2 years and I have been in counseling for the same amount of time.

Question by Goddess: What happens if someone who has been abused their whole life never gets help?
What happens if someone has been abused (sexually, physically and emotionally) by many different people their whole life but never gets help? This person has already cut out all the people who have ever abused them out of their life completely but has never got any help (like see a therapist for example)

Is there something this person should do to get help or is it not really necessary?
Would this person benefit much from therapy?
And do you think cognitive behavioral therapy would help at all?
Sorry, one more question – what would happen, psychologically, if this person never seeks help?
