So I have been coping with extreme anxiety as well as panic attacks for about 3 years now (This mostly came about after I was mugged 3 years ago and was sent to the hospital with a broken arm... i decided that it would be a good idea to fight my attacker). I have done about all that a person can do about this, I even tried taking anti anxiety meds but was too aware of how they were controlling my mood and got extremely sick from that notion (literally sick, like vomiting). I'm strange like this, I don't do well with medications because I am too aware of how they change me.
What I'm looking for is if anyone has any words of wisdom to share about how to deal with anxiety attacks or how to compose oneself out of a panic attack. In these three years I have become MUCH better than I was, I couldn't leave my apartment at first, but I still hate feeling this way. I often completely miss understand harmless situations with friends as well as those I'm close to and I'm just looking for a little support I guess.
I know these things take time but it is just really getting me down that I am still reacting this way. Any little thing could help, I'm just out of ideas of my own.
