Should I get a Medic Alert / pendant panic disorder? I have panic attacks quite often and sometimes people do not know what's wrong with me and I am unable to speak for fear and hysteria.
Should I get a Medic Alert bracelet that tells people what happens when they do not think that I am injured?
I'm 16 and I'm with people who do not know about my condition a lot.
I have a friend who has an anxiety disorder. If she has a panic attack, hyperventilation, or it may simply forget to breathe. It can make or become too weak to resist. The best thing it does is tell the people of his state. Even if a person knows what is happening to you, then they can help you and explain what happens to people around you are not panicking. At school, teachers know that you, your parents already know (or at least they should, friends and work colleagues, etc.
If you are a panic attack and people think you are hurt, they will respond and call an ambulance or something before seeking a medical alert bracelet or pendant.
Yes I say get one. He cannot do anything wrong.
If it makes you feel more secure and help you through, it's a good idea. More and more are learning very quickly on anxiety. But there are good medications to help them and also very, very good strategies to help you learn to tolerate and control your anxiety. It is also important. I suffered for years and I feel for you, but you learn more about the disorder that helps you very much.

Not to forget during a panic attack
1 It does not matter if you feel scared, strange, unreal or unstable. These are normal reactions to excessive physical stress, the feeling is unpleasant but not dangerous, nothing bad will happen to you.
2 Let the feelings come. Do not fight them. When you feel the rising panic, take a deep breath and as you exhale, let go
3 Do not run. Sure as convenient as possible. Sit down, lean against a post if you can not sit down.
4 Stop adding to your panic by yourself installation. Avoid things like "Why cannot I be like the others? You just have to accept what happens.
5 Think about what really happens to your body. Instead of saying "something terrible will happen," say instead: "I'm not going to feint, die or lose control."
6 Use distraction to observe what is happening around you, rather than inside you.
7 control of your breathing. Use a slower rate of breathing, or about 10 breathes a minute. Use rebreathing if necessary.
8 Wait fear and allow time to pass. It will pass. Notice that you stop adding frightening thoughts, the fear will disappear by itself.
9 See this as an opportunity to practice your skills in managing anxiety. As the panic passes, to congratulate you for coming, saying: "I did it"
When subsidies panic, let your body go loose, take a deep breath and continue your day. Remember each time you face the panic you reduce your fear.
Being a good idea!
Yes, it is an ideal good to have a braclet, it is also a good ideal to verbalize to others when you feel that way.
It is good to have a support person around you whenever you go out, and medication management, and counseling is very important!
If you do not get advice, you should really look so you can learn to live with this disease.
It's one thing to have a healthy and it's another to learn to live with her and have a quality of life!
You can have both!
I answered this question on a forum that I frequent ... it's so weird ... anyway ...
I wear one too. It's a good idea if you could find yourself in a situation that can not communicate. For you, if you have a bad panic attack and they want to give you a medicine.
