for me the last few months have been a blur, and i have been having bad anxiety attacks and panic attacks, i just turned 16 a few months ago

i always feel like im trapped inside my mind, and feel as though im always questioning reality and it seems like my mind is always racing, i know something is wrong but i cant explain it and dont know what to do about it

Answer:

Have you seen a doctor for a diagnosis? You are experiencing a mental illness of some form but no one would be able to say for sure what's going on without a lot more information.

Depression can cause the symptoms you are describing. I do understand what you mean when you say you feel trapped inside your brain...that's how I felt when I had depression.

There is treatment out there, you know. I think the sooner you discuss this with your doctor, the better.

Severe anxiety can and does cause people to feel spaced out, it can make you feel kind of separated from reality and the world that's going on around you.

You will begin to feel better...you just need a doctor's appointment to get the ball rolling.

Best wishes

Go get help now! Start with a school nurse if you need to, or make an (emergency) appointment with a mental health professional such as a doctor or counselor. There is no need to suffer like this. Been there! Good luck.

well 1st of all talk to your parents or someone you trust (not someone ur age) usually try to talk to ur teachers or counselor in ur school. tell them how you feel..cause feeling trapped inside feels bad cause omg i;ve felt the same and what i did was i went to make an appointment with a physcologist and she helped me out. try to get help as soon as possible because well ur berly 16 and u got a whole life ahead of you and u dont deserve to live like this for ur whole rest of ur life.

I went through this when I was 17.It was anxiety.No matter what anybody said I just knew there was something more.The doc missed somethin,Iwas dying,Iwas crazy.If a dr said you have panic attacks and anxiety your attacks will not stop until you accept it for what it is.I am now 38yrs old.I would not change goint through this at a young age because I learne alot and see older people go through it and be baffled.Please read this book.HOPE AND HELP FOR YOUR NERVES by Clair Weeks.I know the last thing you want to do is read but you will not be able to put this book down.Remember anxiety and panic attacks is FEAR.Once you stop fearing it it goes away.I PROMISE.Hang it there buddy.
