[QUOTE="Torch'dMach, post: 16326556, member: 195780"] I know what you're going through, I hope you can find some peace with it but drinking is certainly not the answer. I had my first anxiety attacks when I was about 28, I'm 30 now. I used to think anxiety was nonsense as well but it is certainly real. I started dating this girl that I'd known forever and she had 2 kids from a previous marriage. Turns out she had a ton of issues herself that she really needs to address before she can be with anyone. But I didn't figure that out until we'd gotten married and bought a house. It had been getting worse all along, but eventually, all we did was either fight or ignore each other 97% of the time. I got down in a deep, very dark depression, started drinking to take the edge off, gained a ton of weight and started having anxiety attacks. I considered suicide for a while, it got that bad. I went to the ER the first couple times it happened and other than being a little over weight, they said I was fine. I finally went to one of those doc-in-the-box places that I'd been to before. The lady there knew exactly what it was and told me if I don't get things in control or make a change, I was going to have a heart attack between the stress, drinking and anxiety. I worked on it internally for a couple more months and talked to a few people. Eventually, I ended up getting a divorce, selling the house and have been so much better ever since. Everyone around me could tell a HUGE difference almost immediately. I've since joined a gym, lost all that weight and am healthy/happier and at peace more so than I've ever been. The main thing is, you've got to figure out what your stressers are. What in your life is causing the anxiety? Start trying to watch for the triggers, paying attention to the intensity of the attacks and talk to your doctors at length about it. Anti-anxiety medicine can help a ton, but if you can do it without the medicine, that's even better. I honestly would try the medicine, maybe on a weekend when you can just hang out in your house. Let someone know what you're doing just in case, but you should be ok. But try not to turn to the alcohol, that doesn't help anything long term. Try joining a gym, that helped me get anger out, helped me start my day with more energy (I work out from 6:30-8am every day), and just generally made me feel better about myself as well as helping me drop all that weight. Now it's a routine and I can't go without it. Best wishes dude, I hope you can figure this out sooner than later. [/QUOTE]
