Hi. I am 24 years old girl. My father died 6 months ago. He was in coma for few months. My problem is ever since he died a fear cropped in my mind. I am not able to go to office from last 6 months. I always want someone to be with me wherever I go. I always fear what if my heart stops suddenly. What is my breathing stops. What if my brain stops working. I have stopped meeting my friends also and went into isolation. I really want to get up and take control of my Life again. I want to start my work again. But my fear has gone deep inside my mind. I had few sessions of counselling? but the motivation only lasted for few weeks and then I am again back to ground zero. I had few episode of panic attacks in office bcz of which I stopped going to office. Now I don't have those severe episode of panics but I have fear what if I join office and again those panic attacks comes in picture. I have some bad and negative memories which I want to forget totally but I am not able to. Pls help. I am very young I don't want to giveup on my life so early.

Dear Lybrate user Anxiety and panic attacks are curable with psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy. Your situation seems to be serious and you should consult a therapist as soon as possible. Whenever you feel like getting anxious take deep breaths. Panic attacks cause due to anxiety and irrational fear so try to think rationally. Do not lose control. During the attack think like this "its ok its just a anxiety attack there is nothing harmful in it and it will go in few minutes after that I will be fine" Try to reduce the intensity and the duration if the attacks by doing what I have said above. Challenge your thoughts regarding your health. Regularly do health check ups. And the normal reports will keep you stress free. Eat healthy and exercise. Do meditation or yoga. Have a healthy and sound sleep. Take care of your body and health. Use your anxiety to keep yourself motivated for the betterment of your health. Soon you can notice your anxiety getting reduced. You can contact me for a free consultation. Many clients have successfully cured their panic attacks and phobias. And you can also do this. Best of luck. Take care.
