I need help with panic attacks, they are quite frequent and I am 13 years old?!


Question:

I need help with panic attacks, they are quite frequent and I am 13 years old?

I have panic attacks quite often. My mum died when i was 9/10 and i miss her very much. She used to vomit quite a bit in front of me and ever since she passed away, i have fear of vomiting. Whenever I go somewhere new, i get so scared that I won't go anywhere unless i'm with my family, or near a bathroom in case I need to be sick.
Last night i was in bed and I felt okay. I closed my eyes to sleep and I started getting stomach pains. I suddenly felt like I was going to be sick. I emptied my bin and ran downstairs where I cried to my dad. I sat on the sofa (my stomach killing me). I kept going over in my head "i'm going to die, what am i going to do in the hospital, i'm going to be sick, if i'm sick i'm going to be okay"
I was preparing myself and I was shaking constantly, it was like shivering but inside not outside, my heart was pounding and I felt like something was stuck in my throat.
Please help me with my panic attacks, what should I do if another one occurs tonight?


Answers:

Ask your dad to take you to a therapist and a psychiatrist. In the mean time, go to the mental health counselor in your school. If you don't have one in the school, go to the school counselor. Keep telling people about your panic attacks until someone gets you medical help.
