I need to stop these anxiety attacks before it completely takes over my life...?!

I need to stop these anxiety attacks before it completely takes over my life...?

I have posted many questions on this problem, and I have been helping myself, and I have figured out what I am so afraid of. Violence. I start shaking when I am by myself for fear somebody will find me and kill me. It is especially bad at night, when I hear noises in the dark...I think somebody has stowed away in a closet and now that everybody is asleep, they are going to come and hurt me. I live in the second most violent city in America...it's horrible.
I haven't told my parents, and I don't plan to. I am not going to take any medication. I am only thirteen, but this is ruining my life! I have to stay in the car because there are certain people at the place that look like people in my nightmares. When I hear noises I freeze up and I become real tense. I automatically hold my breath, to where I can't breath, and then I start to sweat and shake. I need to get over these panic attacks...before it takes of my life.

I am constantly checking my email because I want somebody there...to talk to because I think when somebody is talking to me, nobody will kill me. Am I completely mad?

Not to mention when I don't get an email...it drives me crazy! I know it's stupid, but I just want this whole thing to stop. I can't get any sleep tonight because I can't calm down.

I have done a lot of research, and tried to calm myself down...but this isn't just some crazy fear. It is something a lot of people are afraid of...I just, let it control my life because I think wherever I go there is going to be something that will try to kill me.

i say the best cure to any anxiety of anything is to face it. i guess it depends on one's personality though. i'm not going through any random anxiety attacks but i've felt it through paranoia before. i've just cured myself from it all.

my brother had this problem... it is pretty bad. i really do think you need to see a doctor. oh man... said this so many times now... lol. i always find exercise as the best treatment. it gives you something to focus on and increases the endorphines in your brain to produce positive thoughts.

it's not easy to cure anxiety. you need to be really strong, you know. i think that the hardest decision is always the right one so i put myself out there to face it. after that, it's nothing :) i hope that helped somewhat...

besides, in the end, you only have yourself to rely on. and to be a stronger person, you have to face things on your own so put yourself out there and reward yourself everytime you do something that you find difficult. that's how i overcame my paranoia.
