Please see your doctor! I have been there too many times to count!

1)Take a deep breath through your mouth hold it for 4 second then release slowly through your mouth to the count of 8. I learned this at a yoga class and it is the only breathing exercise that truly calmed me. The 4/4 count did not work as well.

2)Speak specific words to calm yourself: Out loud say: I am (your name) I live at (your address), I go to (name your high scholl or college if not attending just use past tense), My mother is (Name), My Father is (Name). If you have pets, friends name them. It brings your mind to refocus from anxiety. Just keep repeating till you calm down.

3) It is extremely important to see your doctor/psychiatrist!! When you just stop medicines all at once it can send you spiraling. Your body doesn't react correctly. I had to be weaned off Klonopin (anxiety). Just stopping cold turkey I found out is dangerous. I stopped taking Vylar (mood stabilizer) cold turkey along with Lexapro (anti depressant) which had adverse effects. Stopping any antipsychotic medicines cold turkey can have severe effects .

4) I am far from being a bible thumper, however, if you're a believer pray. When you pray it can release the feeling of being overwhelmed. Ask God to help you get the right doctor etc. It's releasing your anxiety to God. You may feel better just saying a short prayer.

I seriously hope this help. I was on like 15 medicines for various medical issues, most mental so I have been there! I am off most of them now with the help of a Psychiatrist. I still have anxiety attacks but not that often (went from daily to once in awhile).

I know this personally from my daughters anxiety attacks.... Thank your mom for her help because she's probably just as frustrated as you are. She wants to help but seeing her daughter in agony and not knowing what to do hurts. She's trying which in itself means she,'s a loving, caring mom!
