Hey guys (and gals),
I just did some online browsing of the word "panic attack" and decided to come here. Just registered 5 minutes ago but I thought this site could help.
I'm a 17 year old male who suffers from "panic attacks". I've been getting them for about 2 years now. I remember the day that i first got one that triggered this whole mess. I was getting a so called Herptz in my mouth before my braces off which required a 3 hour appointment with 4-5 dentists around me drilling. The pain i faced that day was tremendous. I always loved the dentist but today , I feel, ruined somewhat of my life. About 1 hour int othe appointment i began to get symptoms such as hot flashed and extreme panic. I was looking for a way out constantly and i felt like i was going to throw up or wet myself. There were 4-5 dentists around me so I didn't want to get up and take a break so i sat for what seemed like the longest 10 minutes of my life.
Ever since then i had begun to get these "panic attacks". It has affected me both physically and mentally. I now get them in places where im forced to sit in once spot and not leave such as school. I am a very active person , I play varsity lacrosse and run track. I used to be a straight A/B student now I'm dipping into the C's and some D's. I got them during tests and i formed , what i believe, is a severe case of ADD (haven't told my parents) I confronted my parents and realized my Dad had them just like me and he taught me what helped him. Take deep breaths. It never helped me when i tried it. Then they had gotten me a therapist. He did not help at all. Eventually, they slowed down a bit until this year. I am not suppose to be in a high level chemistry class so im failing every term. Her class triggered these panic attacks this year because they said they would not move me down a level and she is by far the worst teacher you could have. I have cried about these attacks ( i know a man crying wah) It just feels good to let out once in a while.
Im sick of this. I just took the SATS today and I had written down "extended time" so at least if i get a panic attack i could catch up on the SATS. But as i got there they said i signed up wrong and was forced to sit through a 5 hour period of constant panic attacks. When i took the PSATS last year ,i got 1 and skipped a whole section because of it. I dont drink to get drunk ( hate it), i smoke weed once every 4 months ( only done it about 10 times maybe) so i know none of those are the problems. I've become sort of anti-social when i used to be the star athlete and most popular kid in school. I have many friends and they all treat me with respect. I know none of this causes the problem.
If anyone has any advice i would love it. Im tired of it. Sorry for the lengthy bit but i had to get this out. Its very relieveing.
