Does anyone have any experience with anxiety attacks? I feel like one has been slowly building in my chest and I'm starting to feel suffocated and panicky. I just want to calm down. Anyone know anything I should be doing? I just keep trying to go through the motions and keep busy and not think about it but it's getting rough.

As someone who has had many of them, I know how stupid and crazy this is gonna sound, but you just gotta relax. Acknowledge that you may be having a panic attack, so you know it's all just in your head and know that all you need to do is separate yourself from what you're doing to give yourself the feeling that you're starting anew and leave and don't think about anything you were doing previously. Turn on some music you like that you can get really into and just keep moving forward and focus on the music. (That's what I always do)

A couple of things to try from someone who deals with them Exercise, especially if you can get outdoors. Beside changing your environment it changes your breathing and hopefully gives you a shot of endorphins. If you can get to a pool or do some yoga, watch a funny, stupid movie that makes you laugh, talk to a friend. Staying busy can be very helpful but if you can I suggest you take a little something to help you sleep tonight. Good luck and remember you're not alone.

I find taking a step away, closing my eyes, and really concentrating on my breathing helpful. Deep breaths, like yoga breathing.

I'm not an expert, but I'd guess that identifying the source of your stress and either coming to terms with it or reconciling it is the best way to handle the stress. I don't think ignoring it will solve anything.

I get bad panic attacks from being held up years ago. Usually when it's just me in the house. When it happens, every noise or unusual thing freaks me out and I shut down. The last one I had, I was on the floor curled up crying, in a hallway, where it would be difficult for stray bullets to hit me. It was triggered by shots on my block the night before. It sounds crazy, and I feel stupid but when it happens it feels real and it's difficult to overcome.
I have to tell myself it's not real and if I can muster up the courage I usually call my best friend who lives around the corner. They are usually worse if I can't get in touch with someone or get frozen and can't reach out.
Panic attacks are rough. I'm sorry you're dealing with it. Knowing your triggers and why you're feeling that way is the first step. It's a work in progress still for me, but my boyfriend told me something after my last attack that really hit home. He said that you can't control how you feel, just how you handle it. I'm not sure what's triggering your attacks, but for me, because it's about feeling threatened, getting support or talking to someone is what works. Talking about it helps.
I hope you figure out why you're stressing and get better.

I used to get them all the time. I would either run or sometimes just laying down and put head phones on to get lost in music.
Question. In 2015 if someone says "I think I might be bi" does it mean:
a) I think I might be bi b) I'm gay but not ready to say it yet c) Mom and Dad, I'm testing you to see if you'll freak out
IIRC, you have a 13-14 year old daughter, right?
A. Well, at least the kid's not afraid to talk to you B. Did you ever (or do you now) see signs of this being the case? C. Is this sort of thing in character? Always playing pranks and making jokes?

Radiohead said it best: breeeeeeeaaatthe, keep breathing.
Have you ever done any yoga? Even if it's not your bag, I find yogic breathing exercises extremely helpful for managing anxiety attacks, especially when coupled with meditation. Just clear your mind and listen to what your body needs. Hope this helps.

Possibly A or possibly B, but doubtful C - that's a highly risky thing to say just to test somebody. And what would be their gain from that test? I just think sexuality is a very complex matter that society defines in absolute terms; maybe it's an experimental phase, maybe it's just who he or she really is. Who knows; no one can really say at this point, perhaps not even your child. My advice is to let it be and love them all the same.
Thanks guys. I have a 14 year old son and could care less where he falls on the sexuality spectrum but I'm 47 and things have changed a bit, LOL Kids come out soooo early now

For him to tell you so early means he must really trust you For what it's worth I told my mom the same thing word for word, and my answer was b.

I'm just gonna repeat what everyone else said. A or B, I highly doubt it's C because if a kid was gonna joke about that, I would guess they would say that they think they might be gay. I don't think they'd say they might be bi. I know several of my friends that are now openly gay began by considering being bi but did not initially think they were gay because they'd been raised with usual assumption of everyone being straight, so it was hard for them to give up that they may not be attracted to girls at all. But, as they went on with their life, they found/accepted (I'm not sure which word to use) that they were actually gay. I'm raised in a hick hick town in the south though, so our community is pretty slow to accept changes in social norms. I was just providing this from my experience. For your kids peace of mind and comfort ability, I hope he finds himself soon,whether it be straight or gay or bi or asexual or whatever!

Yesterday I went out for RSD - but I don't own anything that can play vinyl. The local record store did have a buy two CDs get one free sale.
Why couldn't Alabama Shakes, Mumford and Sons, and MMJ have come out this week?
Why do I still keep buying so many CDs? Back 5-7 years ago with the unemployment and depression - it was an outlet to do something with my days, buy an album or two and listen to it a bunch of times. Nowadays, I got Spotify premium. Unless it's a damn good album, something I'm gonna listen to a ton in my car - I really should cut back on the discs significantly. I'm at 16 this year so far, was about 40 last year, 50 the year before that, and it wouldn't surprise me if there were a couple years over 60. I have at least 600 total, and that's not counting the ones I've sold over the years. Or the ones I downloaded off Amazon.

Either way, the fact that a 14 year old boy is comfortable enough to tell his mom this says so much. I call that a parenting win!!! XOXOXO

As someone who came out as option "a" like 8/9 years ago to my parents and since have not wavered from being pretty smack dab in the middle of the spectrum and thus very much bisexual, not "going through a phase" or "just on my way to Gayville," I am biased and want to say that "a" is most likely, but of course there are plenty of people who came out as bisexual first and then later as gay/lesbian. As others have stated, though, "c" seems very improbable.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
