Living in fear

[Ktp21]

I'm 21 years old And for the past 4 years my life has been taken over and turned upside down by anxiety and panic attacks. I live in fear of when my next one will occur. Small things are so difficult like getting in an elevator or even flying in a plane which never used to be a problem for me. I constantly feel like something is wrong with me and I feel like I'm ruining my family's lives with my constant worries and fears... And attacks for that matter.. No one around me understands how bad my anxiety truly is and how terrifying panic attacks can be.. I've tried talking to a psychologist.. But it hasn't seemed to help. Whenever an attack comes along.. There's just no stopping it. Any advice? :'(

i was terrified when i started with anxiety and you only have to have a thought and bang its there,i used to be scared of my heart going fast it was a vicious circle,or the anxiety feeling would come over you for no reason,i joined a site called no panic and it was the best thing ever,you have a telephone recovery somebody who has struggled themselves and u can talk to them and all other different things,and if i ever get them anxious feelings again i just say well i am still here so do your best you cant kill me and think of something nice.
