Hi Andy,

Welcome to the forums.  What do you find works best to help you manage your panic attacks, or would you like some advice from others on how you can cope better?

Hi Andy,
I agree, in part, with what you say; i.e. ‘Can we just be unique and as we all meant to be?’Each person is unique in their own right. I think a starting point for personal growth and development is accepting yourself for who you are, an imperfect, growing, changing human being. This takes the pressure away from continuously striving for perfection. Your heading - ‘Feeling others are week that can not hide what I have.’ Implies that you commit personal energy in hiding your anxiety. In my experience this can be physically and mentally draining; wearing a mask when in company. Point, while it can be healthy to accept your current circumstances this doesn’t mean you need to endure them; this is where personal growth and change occurs. That said you may not have all the solutions and this can be where it’s beneficial to explore what others are doing or have experienced.
I assume you’re referring to the posts on this forum when you say ‘ some talk about things it all about drugs they are on or bad time of bogan type things.’ You have a point in that there can be a common thread in a number of posts. My view is that one of the functions of the forum is that it provides an avenue for people, who aren’t content with their current situation, to express this. There can be many reasons for doing this such as the satisfaction of making a statement publicly, a sense of having been heard, reaching out for acceptance, understanding or guidance. One question is: why are there so many posts? A reason might be that, despite the high incidence of mental health issues, you can still feel very much alone, not understood or even accepted by those around you. The forum provides a safe environment where you can spill your guts without the sense of being labelled a wacko. I wish you all the best.
