Hello,

We are graduate researchers from the University of Florida, who are
trying to study the satisfaction of individuals who use chat rooms
or message/bulletin boards. We are in need of participants and would
be very greatful for your participation.

We understand that this support group is your sanctuary from
everyday life, and we want to be sensitive to that. We are not
trying to harm you in any way or disrupt your community. We are just
asking for a little of your time so we can help the counseling
profession understand more about chat rooms and message/bulletin
boards.

If you have visited a chat room or message/bulletin board, and would
be willing to complete a 10-15 minute survey please visit this web
site: http://www.coe.ufl.edu/Counselor/Survey03/ This research has
been approved by the University of Florida Institutional Review
Board. You will need to enter in the password GRADY, it is case
sensitive so it must be all CAPS.

We are willing to send an electronic copy of our
results upon request.

Thank you for your time and attention,

UF researchers

Hey everybody. My name is Rachel, i am 17. On Monday there was a blood drive
at my school, I am very scared of needles I tried to give blood. I got scared
of the needle and i got out of the chair. People started to make fun of me
for it. Also i had lots of school work and my dad is kinda moving.  Long
story short three hours later i started crying and all of the sudden I
couldn't breathe and my heart was pounding. I went into the guidance
counselor's office and I figured out I was having a panic attack.......
The next morning i got to school, I held in the attack for about twenty
minutes during class and I just let it out, and i had one for about an hour.
It was really scary.  For my last class of the day I tought I was starting to
get another one because my heart was pounding again but I started tensing up
my arms that were getting numb and I fixed some of it. Because I have never
had a panic attack before and no one from my family has.......My therapist
gave me Atavan (anti-anxeity) medication so if I had one again I could take
it. But I don't know if I will. Anyway for any of you who read all this.
thanks. I just wanted to talk to people who have had the same experience.
Thanks, Rachel

U should try to distract yourself from the attacks.....I know it's hard to
ignore but try
play a really interesting game or something I hope they go away.

remember your not alone we have all been there and survived and you will to.
the panic can only go so far or get so bad and then it will go away just ride
it out  it can not kill you


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

hi, first of all dont feel like you're alone in this. All of us are
going thru the same if not similiar situations as you are, and we are
here to help. I wasnt able to go to school for my entire sophmore
year in HS, but i eventually found the strength to take over my
attacks and get thru them. Eventho its hard, try to remember that no
one has ever died from a panic attack. you may feel like you're going
to, but you won't. Next i am wonderin if you're on any meds??? I've
been on Zoloft for 4 yrs now and it works wonders. I've been taking
Zoloft combined with some other stuff combined with therapy and i'm
doing really well. If you arent on meds then i suggest that you go to
a psychiatirst and get on some, and definately do the therapy thing
(that helps just as much as meds do). I can go on and on and on, but
just remember that you are stronger than this thing and you can fight
it. YOu have to control it, dont let it control you.
If you ever feel alone, or just need someone to relate to, feel free
to email me any time.
Dee

My panic attacks have been getting worse recently.  I have not been
able to attend school because they get so bad.  I feel like I have
nobody to turn to and am all alone.  Does anybody have any advice at
all????  If so please post a message!!!  I could use all the help I
can get!

ummmmm????

please give me an email addresses of beautiful teenagers

WOW....how you described yourself from before is a lot like what I am
now.

Hi, i'm a 19 (almost 20 year old) who was diagnosed with panic
disorder when i was 14. all of the stories that everyone here are
telling sound so familiar to mine. the only difference is that i'm
90% over it. I've been where all of you have been and i just want to
let you guys know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. i
was out of school for my whole sophmore year of hs bc of panic
disorder. they told me i was a danger to myself and other people.
people didn't believe that what i was going thru was real. i lost
friends, made my parents mad, but most of all, i got fed up with life
and stopped believing in myself.
  i am now in my 2nd year of college and am proud to say that i think
i've gone thru the worst of it. no more trips to the emergency room,
no more full blown attacks. i'm still on medication and i see a
social worker, but most of all i believe in myself and know that i am
strong enuff to get thru this. when you're having an attack, talk to
yourself if you need to. tell yourself to calm down if it makes you
feel better. different things work for different people, but no one
has ever died from a panic attack (eventho it feels like u will).
  it may be hard for all of you right now, but just remember that it
does get better. i still get mini attacks so i know what its like,
but dont lose hope. surround yourself with positive people and
believe in yourself and it will get better.

i recomend buying a book on panic attacks to learn more about the situation
the more you learn the more you can know how to deal with your panic i am
also on paxil cr you may want to check with your doctor about it you dont
have to be quiet about it share your thoughts and feelings with others you
can over come panic i use to panic so bad i thought i would die and i went
through it everyday but through learning more about panic through self help
books and medication and a general effort to overcome this i am making
serious progress toward a full recovery somthing i never thought possible
remeber you are not alone there are alot of people with this and other types
of problems keep in touch and let me know how it is going

Hi I am 15/F from Illinois and I have panic disorder, but my panic
attacks start up at school.  I have been very afraid to go back
because I don't want to have another panic attack.  I am looking to
talk to other teenagers about this so I don't feel all alone.

ive been on paxil for about 4 months and it works really good but my self
help is what has really helped me knowing other people go through the same
things i go through ive read alot of material about panic attacks and have
gather lots of information on it you should check out some self help books
and programs it really is alot more than a chemical embalance we have to
train ourselves to think diffrently about ourselves and situayions i hope you
contniue your progress keep me informed Ray

Because:
A) That's what my psychiatrist prescibed.
B) It's been proven to help overcome Anxiety disorders.

and those are reasons enough for me.  =)

hey, my name is Lisa. I'm 17. I've had anxiety attacks for 5 years now. I know
what you mean by needing emotional support, considering nobody can truly
understand until they feel this way. I've been to DOZENS of THerapists,
Pyschiatrists, along with taking many homeopathic herbs and supplements. I've
considered Prozac, but for some reason I'm terrified of it! So it works? That's
so good to know. I've been going back in forth in mind about that. Well,
recently I found a really good kineseiologist. Since my main symptom is stomach
aches. She found out I had a bacteria called H-pylori in my stomach. She put me
on a progam to get rid of it. I toke about 3 months to fully get rid of it.
Since it's really easy to get I have a very strict diet. Since that was gone,
she's been helping me figure out how my emotions bring on the panic and symptoms
of it. Anyways, thats my story. I still got a long way to go. But any time you
want to e-mail me you can. If need to just talk or need support. I'm there for
ya. I know it's hard. see ya later!

What medicines do you take if you take any?
I take Prozak(sp?)

I would realy appreciate anyone e-mailing me to share stories,
because ive lost all my friends and the only way I can meet people
seems to be on the internet, because of my social anxiety.

    thanx for listening,
    Eddie

What you wrote was exactly how I feel. After more than a year now I
finaly decided to use the internet to find someone who understands
what I feel all the time, and I havent had a friend for so long. I
dont want to be alone anymore. Please write me back.
