I am 13 years old and I go to school 5 days a week. I get panic attacks at school and anywhere I go pretty much. My fears are very weird. I am afraid of heights, florescent lighting, big open spaces, large spaces, afraid of not being able to “escape”, and I have a fear that one day I will just pass out or something.
I am healthy and have no mental problems or anything that would cause stress or cause me to have these fears. I can even go into walmart or the PX and have random panic attacks in line.
Certain things I do trigger them. I dont understand them. I am going to be going to 7th grade this year, and all I can do is hope that panic attacks will not play a role in my 7th grade year. I want to be able to go places and feel happy and not worry about panic attacks and I want to enjoy things again.
The main problem with me is a fear of having a panic attack which leads to a panic attack. My fear will be in school: will I pass out? or “these lights are too bright” or “I am getting dizzy” and I freak out. they are so weird. PLEASE someone help me with this.

Hi! I’ve been experiencing panic and anxiety since I was probably 8 years old or younger. They came and went a few times and now at 24 years old they are back with even more intensity unfortunately.
I was in my car one day and realized I didn’t have water. I nearly fainted from the fear of dehydration while driving! I have since developed a fear of being without water, food and air conditioning. I hate malls and crowds! Those are the worst. Big buildings, open spaces, stadiums….not good for me.
But I’ve come to realize that its all in my mind. I have to take these thoughts captive! The thought is where the fear starts.
Plus, I have to accept the fact that everyone dies. Its a part of life. Being a christian, I have assurance of heaven. I’m not cured but I have to step into my fears. Life shouldn’t be wasted on fear. Even if u aren’t a christian, God never intended us to live in constant fear. He desires to be our refuge. Reading each post my heart breaks for you all, especially the really young.
We aren’t alone though! I keep telling myself that and it really does help! The mind is powerful, take control of your thoughts before they control you!

My name’s Melissa. I’m 17 years old and in year 12. I only started experiencing panic attacks this year although, many things were happening in my life to encourage the panic to come out. I’ve moved around a lot in my life from one family member too another and finally I’m staying put at my boyfriends house. My panic attacks hit me at the most annoying time (generally) when I’m relaxed and feeling safe. My panic attacks have struck me up to 4 times a day and now it’s generally once a day or maybe even once every two days.
My panic attacks are brought on by depression and anxiety so its not much fun sometimes.
They are generally led on
- When there is a stress (School, Seeing people I don’t want to).
- Feeling pressured to do something.
- Not knowing what will happen next, unprepared.
Although I’m sure there is other things which bring them on but I’m still learning about what panic attacks really are about. About a month ago I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t control them and all I wanted was help. My current state is the best I have been in many months.
My advice is to SEEK HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.
Never be ashamed because it happens to many people.
See a psychologist, they help you with plans to fight the panic out of you.
Physical activity is always great, in fact the best thing I could advise to do when I feel one coming along.
Know that these panics are tricking your body into thinking that there is danger and that you need help urgently. THE BETTER YOU KNOW IT THE EASIER IT BECOMES.
When you feel as if there is absolutely nobody or nothing that can help you just remember all of the positive things in your life. There is always going to be set backs to fighting this but it is possible to overcome! If I can do it YOU CAN!

Well,
I was 17 years old my panic attacks started. I was in class and all of a sudden I got this weird rush over my head. My heart started racing, I felt like someone was choking me, I couldn’t breath and I got extremely shaky. I felt dizzy, I felt like I couldnt see straight. I felt as though I was going to pass out. I instantly thought that I was going to just drop dead.
Then it just kept happening over and over again for the next 2 weeks. It seemed as though I was continuously in a panic attack or thinking about another one happening. I went to see a psychologist and she put me on an anti-depressant which made them ten times more intense. I felt lost and hopeless.
I was so young and I had no idea what was going on. Then about 2 weeks later they went away, and I would only have one once or twice every six months. Then they went away completely for 2 years.
Recently, over the past week I have been getting them continuously again. I feel anxious right at this moment. I had a job interview today in which I was having a panic attack the entire time. Don’t know how I swung that one but I did. I just want them to go away all together so I can live my life.
I am only 22 years old and I am so sick of living my life in fear. Constantly thinking I am just going to drop dead. Afraid to go to sleep for fear I won’t wake up. I just don’t know what to do anymore. If anyone has any suggestions please please let me know!

Does exercise help panic attacks? Good question, let’s look at the facts.
Regular exercise can and does help control panic attacks. Simple lifestyle changes can make such a difference in the way that you feel.
Aerobic exercise means, raising your heart rate for 25 to 30 minute periods while you walk, swim, jog or ride a bike. If you can walk briskly with a friend and still be able to have a conversation – even if you’re both puffing a bit – it’s enough to make a difference. The raised heart rate that you experience will help your body to get rid of excess adrenaline, the hormone that is used in the fight or flight response that you experience in a panic attack.
At the end of your exercise period you should feel tired but not exhausted. If you haven’t taken any exercise for a long time then you should consult your doctor before beginning an exercise program.
There are many other benefits to walking with a companion. You are out and about in the fresh air. You have the opportunity to talk things over in an informal setting, often just talking is an immense help. Unless you have another underlying health condition then exercise is almost always beneficial.
Swimming, racquet sports, football, jogging or cycling can all help you. Choose your favorite and add movement to your daily routine. Exercise will help your body to get rid of toxins that make you feel depressed and lethargic. Even indoor exercise that you do at home, running up and down the stairs, jumping jacks, jump rope, anything like that, can all help in the fight against a panic attack.
So returning to the original question does exercise help panic attacks? In my case it did. Absolutely.
Getting the right amount of exercise helped me learn to cope with stress effectively, and also helped with getting a better night’s sleep.
For me, having a balanced overall lifestyle was a key component in learning to cope with panic attacks, and exercise was a key component in that.
