    Help!!!

    Im a 21 yr old female.
    I have really bad anxiety lately...really bad attacks.
    I can barely catch my breath thru out the day & according to google searches , shortness of breath can be caused by anxiety.
    Its really annoying to be at work or driving & freak out bc i cant breath properly. I feel as if when i yawn im not 'finishing' my yawn if that makes sense. Unsatisfied air.
    Its happened to me for years but it keeps getting worse as i become more anxious and stressed out.
    Thats the major problem i have w my anxiety.
    I feel like its going to kill my relationship w my boyfriend.
    I cant even let him touch me sometimes bc i freak out, i feel like i have lack of space....its hard for me to cuddle sometimes & other times i love it.
    I cant afford a therapist & during a recent anxiety attack i was driving to the ER & the attack got worse as i thought about how much the ER bill would be.
    But i need help.
    Its controlling my life.
    Im a hardworking mother.
    I just want to be normal!
    Someone help me please!!!!!

    Oh, you are so normal, it's not even funny. So many of us have suffered with shortness of breath, dizziness, upset stomach, the list goes on. All totally normal. I get the part about not being able to afford a therapist- it's not cheap. BUT, a lot of therapists have a certain number of slots for 'reduced-fee patients' (you pay $20 for the session vs. $120, if you can prove that you only make a certain amount). It might be worth checking around for this as a good place to start.
