hello all

i have been suffering with anxiety/panic attacks for 9 or so years, ever since a particularly bad car accident. i have never seemed to "recover" from that. i am 27, female, exercise regularly and in mostly good health. i have been on klonipin, clonidine and atavan (sorry for the poor spelling). and now take atavan occasionally.

my symptoms include:
chest pain-this is my big one
dizziness
racing pulse
general feelings of dread and overwhelming-ness

i would like to find alternatives to medication or counseling, considering my lack of health care and funds at the moment. at the particular moment i am struggling with a bad bout of anxiety for no good reason. and while other family members suffer from anxiety as well, they do not seem to understand. i would like to come to a place where everyone understands.

i hope that all makes sense. thanks :)

Welcome and I'm sorry you're struggling right now. It does sound like some PTSD and anxiety. I hope you find help here. Alankay
