Hello. I have had panic disorder with agoraphobia for the past 6 years and I was wondering if EMDR will help with that. I was abused for 14 years and I don’t know if that is part of the problem. I have takn all kinds of meds and am on celexa and buspar for the past year and i don’t feel any different. Do you think EMDR will help? I would like to have my life back sometime …

Hi, I’m sixteen years old. In the past year, I’ve developed panic disorder, mainly over the overwhelming fear of dying. I’m looking for ways to honestly get past this. I’m not very active, and I don’t have many friends. I feel like I’m trapped in my own mind sometimes, you know? Is the fact that I spend a lot of time online and barely any time with friends causing this, or at least aiding it? And how can I stop thinking about dying? Please be serious, I’m honestly looking for some help.

eg.: Nausea, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn
Any thoughts?

anyone have panic disorder?what have ya done about it and what things has helped?i have had it for 15 years now and have had alot of meds. for it but i still am having troubles dealing with it .please help me….

My boyfriend developed panic disorder last year (at age 21). It started after he got vertigo (he was extremely dizzy and kept vomiting for 2 days). It also developed at the same time as a swollen lymph node (which is still swollen, but his doctor said that happens sometimes). I’m just curious if it is common that physical problems tend to accompany panic disorder (or vice versa)?

If it makes any difference, his panic attacks consist mainly of being terrified and chest pain.

My husband and my bestfriend both have anxiety and panic disorder….it seems to be better when they have a support group so we started this group if your interested please join.

Many people suffer from panic disorder symptoms and they do not even realize it. People feel fear… it’s a natural human instincts to want to avoid dangerous situations where you might be threatened. Everybody experiences fear there is no escaping it. It is when your fear starts to take over your life that panic disorder symptoms must be stopped. For people that suffer from panic disorders… their lives are full of fear that they cannot escape.

So how do you know if you are actually experiencing panic disorder symptoms? If you’re the panic disorder your feelings of fear and dread never seem to go away. Feeling a little bit of fear is perfectly natural, and it can actually be healthy… but if you’re suffering from panic attacks the spheres overwhelming and can show up at any time. There is no rhyme or reason to this fear and it often appears when you are in no danger whatsoever.

if you’re diagnosed with panic disorder/agoraphobia how long do you take medication for?

if you still take medication for them, can you still get panic attacks and have to deal with phobia?

Ok. Often times I get nervous about things that are going to happen or I fear wont happen and start to shake. I get nervous, my heart pounds, I’m scared, I feel like I need to get somewhere else safe or get to someone who can calm me down. I can’t sit still when this happens and my stomach turns. Afterwards….I’m fine…and usually get very giddy or excited. So, the first part of that leads to to think panic disorder…which I have thought since I was 10…..but now that people tell me that I bounce back so easily and so much, I think maybe bipolarism. However….friends say I’m just a moody teenager. And I just don’t know. What do you think?
