Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Disorder

My name is Louise and I am 22 years old and suffering from very bad anxiety. I am a waitress and it has been affecting me at work. I just went to the shoe store to buy new sneakers and I had an anxiety attack at the register. I cannot deal with this anymore and I need it to stop. Its been going on for about three months now and it is getting very severe. I at times feel my heart beating so fast I think I m dying. Help! I am a senior in college graduating in May and I sometimes feel stressed but not enough to have such severe anxiety. Please make it stop.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand your emotions. The best method to manage anxiety is to know it well. Anxiety is part of body defence mechanism. Whenever you face a fear situation, body prepares our body to FIGHT OR RUN. Therefore anxiety is body's preparation for a positive outcome. Therefore, you cannot altogether avoid anxiety, but you can surely manage it by knowing and understanding it. Psychotherapy and meditation are helpful for anxiety management. You may consult a psychologist.
