I am just like tonya. Except I’m 17. I typed a long message before this, but it got deleted. =(. Anyway I don’t want to start the message over, but it clarified better. I need help. I feel like a prisoner, I want to be saved from myself. I can’t take it, its consuming me and ruining my life! I’m young, I don’t have time for this! So many things I have to accomplish but how can I do it when I’m so anxious and scared?

Hang in there kiddo. You are going to be fine. Show your parents this site, and let them read what extreme anxiety symptoms are like, and hopefully they will begin to understand the true nature of any possible condition you have. You may need to see a doctor, or even better, a physiologist – because when you are thinking clearly, you won’t be afraid and you don’t worry nearly as much.
You’re going to be fine. Keep learning about positive thoughts, and learn to avoid negative people, and negative thoughts. Negative thoughts are usually always NOT real, whereas positive thoughts are ALWAYS real.

Talk to your parents and show them some information from the web (like this discussion) and hopefully they will begin to understand severe anxiety and what you are going through. If you have had these symptoms repeatedly, I would get yourself to a doctor. I just hope your parents will let you do that. In the mean time try to get some serious exercise and stay way from ANY drugs, alcohol, and plain bad company.
You will make it through this because you are doing the research required to reform your way of thinking, and get happier and healthier. You’ll be just fine kiddo.

Hi, I am only 13 but i have read the symtoms and have all except 2. Should I go to the doctor about my anxiety? My mom doesn’t think so, but I think me being nervous is causing me to get depression,I think i am getting depressed because i want to stop worrying, even my science teacher is noticing it in class that I can’t focus.Even though I’m only 13, should I go to the doctor? -Thanks

Hi Tonya,
The OCD stage is very natural after prolonged MIND ONLY existence. OCD and IBS, depression, and agoraphobia are all normally triggered after prolonged stress and letting your MIND and THOUGHTS control you daily moments.
The trick to getting over anxiety is not JUST medication. Medication only helps you begin adjusting how you use your mind. Remember that your thoughts and mind at work is NOT REALLY WHO YOU ARE. You are really the space that surrounds everything, and your thoughts and thinking are not to be taken so seriously. Our human brains are pretty useless 98% of the time. So is your’s.
You are not your thoughts. You are not your mind. You are attached to the STILLNESS of a quiet noiseless field and the highest mountain top. You are ALWAYS naturally attached to the divinity of this earth and this universe.
Start laughing at your constant brain activity, thoughts, reactions, worries, and fears. ALL of those things are not really you. Your family, husband, kids, are not who you are either. They are simply human beings that have the same God connection that you have. We humans of the past have always attached ourselves to things, people, homes, jobs, titles, families, etc., but we are none of those things.
Remember that it is usually the thoughts you are telling yourself regarding the fear of losing all of the above mentioned things. Begin telling yourself (using your mind and thoughts) that you are ALWAYS connected to God (nature, water, trees, wind) and that you would be JUST FINE if all of the things, people, attachments, jobs, titles, and STUFF were gone tomorrow. I know this is hard to believe at first, but it is the first step to a relaxing life full of wonderment.
I was a human being that forgot he was a BEING and saw myself just as a father, husband, artist, earner, writer, etc. and I attached myself to these labels – big time. So when some of these fantasy labels I attached to myself began to fall away, my system went to into stress overload. This began my 5 year journey of education. I was none of those labels. I simply AM.
You simply ARE too. You don’t need to be a SUPER mom, SUPER wife, SUPER employee, RICH, PRETTY, etc. etc. Shed these labels, take your medication properly and avoid alcohol if you can.
Never forget that, regardless of what you mind chatter is telling you, you are a divine BEING before all the details of life, and you will some day (long down the road) die as a perfect and divine BEING.
Your job Tonya is to discover your true self in this life time. How do you do that? Start by finding ways to TURN OFF YOUR THOUGHTS and brain daily. You don’t need this all day. Just a few seconds of time per day will start you on your way.
To learn more about this, read some great books like A New Earth by Tolle and the Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer.
Watch these videos over and over and the truth will begin to start seeping in. It takes some time, but you start finding peace again. Love from Jacob and Emma.
You are going to be OK Tonya.

Annika,
Very sorry to hear that your anxiety levels are so high still.
With our without medication you can overcome your anxiety. Medication can be used to give yourself a break from your worrisome thoughts and give the reprieve you need to CHANGE the way you look at things, and as Wayne Dyer says, “when you change the way you look at things, the things around you change”. [Wayne has been allot longer than the marketers of "The Secret" by the way].
If you are in a situation where you have no choice but to work your way out of extreme anxiety without the help of medication, this is what I would do.
You HAVE to start re-evaluating the inner dialogue you have and literally change the way you look at things. To do that you need some help.
Go to the bookstore today and buy Wayne Dyer’s CD collection called, “The Power Of Intention”. Start listening to these CDs everyday for at least half an hour. When you are done, start listening again. Over and over and over.
Believe me – this one thing has helped change my entire life. Every second of it actually. I have been through a really bad morning panic attack, and left hovering between stage 2 and stage 3 all morning. I went for drive or a walk down to a park bench and listened to “The Power of Intention”. Within 15 minutes I have started to calm down, and with 45 minutes I actually start to feel GOOD! It’s hard to believe because when I’m in the throws of really bad depression or anxiety it doesn’t seem possible – you know what I mean.
If I’m really anxious when I’m listening to “The Power of Intention” I will actually feel a little aggravated in the first 10 minutes because my mind and ego are in a miserable rut and they don’t want to let go of fantasy. Negative thoughts are pure fantasy and our egos and minds LOVE miserable fantasies such as,
* everything sucks
* life is hard
* I’m going to be poor
* I’m going to be stuck in this horrible marriage or job forever
* I’m going to be stuck in this horrible city or town forever
* the best years of my life are over and it’s all down hill from here
When the reality is that your life has been perfect up until now and you have the choice to make “here and now” peaceful and lovely.
It’s all perception. You can change your perceptions without medication and yes – it will take some time.
When you are panicking or in stage 2 and 3 tell yourself this,
“I am going to be fine and these feelings are just temporary. I am joining all of my friends in the world who suffer from the same thing I do, but I will be through it soon. The reason thoughts of suicide scare me so much is because I WANT TO LIVE.”

I am definitely in stage 3 and have been for 2 years now. The problem is that I don’t have medical insurance so my options are seemingly non existent. I can’t do this forever but I don’t know what to do anymore

Nicole,
I hope you are doing better and have found medical advice. You won’t lose your kids just by getting diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and having it treated.
You are not a “mental case” and the medical profession does not put people in asylums for having anxiety or depression.
To best help yourself and your kids, you NEED to get professional help, and if you are in stage 3 of the above anxiety levels, you will probably need medication. Don’t be afraid of medication. Get some help now.
Like Jacob is always saying, YOU ARE NOTE ALONE IN THIS. You are just one of millions dealing with anxiety and depression. Society is well aware of these anxiety disorders now, so don’t be afraid of getting help.
I send my love and compassion to you today Nicole.

I am in the 2nd but rapidly approching the 3rd stage u talk about with my anxiety, but I am too scared to go get help because I am afraid they will think I am unfit and take my kids away. I have lost 83lbs in 6 months, I hate my life everyday, I cry everyday alot, I only sleep a few hours, and I have racing heart beats, chest pains, I feel sick to my stomach, and I pick fights with those closest to me so they will leave me alone. My husband abandon me and our 3 daughters for a woman he met online and ever since then I have had this problem with anxiety. I just don’t know what to do. I am lost.
