I had anxiety attacks after I had my daughter and was at home for a year after i had her. then i went back to college, and was having them so much i didn't want to go.
I learned to breath and take time outs when i needed them (going to the bathroom for a minute), make myself comfortable(my clothes), and realized that there wasn't anything to be afraid of. I would speak only occasionally to people and worked myself up with being familiar with my surroundings and also realized that half of these people i would see on a daily basis for the next four years, the other half, i would never see again.
I did not need medication.

I have agoraphobia and I have depression, I take medicine for both and I am on disability. I find I feel safer in my home. I like it here. I have my family and I have a lot of friends so I really don't need to get out. When I do I wear a hat and I keep my eyes to the ground and it makes it easier on me. It is OK when I am with my children or a my parents or at a friends house with people I know. I am not a doctor , but these are things that work for me. Good luck to you.

I just started taking Lexapro for generalized anxiety disorder and it has already made a difference. I'm still working on not fretting, but I already feel more at ease.
I would suggest seeing a therapist, tell him (honestly) your symptoms, and let him suggest what he thinks will help you
Living in constant fear and anxiety is no way to live. I wish you the best of luck!

i been on anti-depression and SAD drug such as cymbalta and xanax. let me give you an advice before taking. alway be prepare for side effect listed on the medication. never jump to high doses unless you are ready for it. its also depends on the person too.
i had been on cymbalta 60 mg and let me tell you something.
its one hella of a hell hole ride. there are like at least 7 side effect occur for me at once. you might be in shock state and panic attack. that also goes the same for xanax. happen only withdrawal symptom. such as i mentioned above. xanax is a good drug for anxiety and make you fall asleep quickly. but becareful combining them with other drug.
no matter how tough i think i can handle those drugs. it will screw anyone up and cause the anxiety worse.
so before attempting to use medication as a cure for your SAD try other method. .

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.
Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

See a licensed professional therapist for talk therapy, and ask about anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax.

i think of you have low shallowness. There are workbooks that may assist you handle it or you are able to bypass to a therapist. you're taking disproportionate word of issues you do incorrect, so disproportionate that throughout all probability no person else even notices those issues. yet, you have created a cycle that purely you are able to ruin. by making use of averting people you come back off as anti-social and that they in turn evade you, and you in turn think of they do in comparison to you! So, stop annoying approximately what people think of. those people who dislike you, you will no longer desire to be attentive to in any case. And probability is maximum folk the two such as you or have not formed an opinion. attempt taking some very small steps in the direction of socializing. bypass into the kitchen while somebody is there and say something secure, "i won't be able to look ahead to the weekend." probability is the guy you refer to will nod or smile, or inspite of a splash will ask you why you won't be able to look ahead to the weekend. positioned a candy dish on your table, and while somebody comes over say, "Take some before I eat them myself!" or another gentle fact. yet, you need to deliver out alerts which you're receptive to verbal replace. in spite of each and every thing, think of if have been a relatively shy coworker. could you assert hi to you? Or could you forget approximately approximately you, out of comprehend on your privateness? If I observed somebody who prevented the kitchen while i grew to become into there, i could discern they had desire to be left on my own or perhaps they did no longer desire to be attentive to me.

A doctor would be the best person to ask about this. This is only a online forum.
