Welcome to Gaia! ::

ok i get panic attacks when i get scared or nervous. this is what one feels like: like you r having problems breathing,chest hurts,body pains,twichieness,sureal like feeling, and tinglyness THIS ALL COULD HAPPEN AT ONCE! it freaks me out big time! eek

i get panic attacks so when i went to my docture to tell him i havnt been having them as bad. sounds like its a good thing right? neutral well the doc said sinse i was having them that the pills werent good enouf to fix my problem! so he sujested councolling! surprised (my thoughts at the moment: heck no you kidding me!) he says that what ever is causing my panic attacks has to do with fear so a councoller could help. well my twin sis and my mom think i should but i dont want to i would feel stupid! like i got problems i cant control and opening up to a complete stranger! HELLO! a complete stranger who iv never met! i mean cmon! plus they might turn to my parents and spill the beans! then mom and dad would know everything i told the person! which i REALLY dont want to happen! so should i do councolling and hope for the best? or keep taking pills? what do you think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ok due to the advice i been givin i am going to go to coucolling for my panic attacks, i still dont want to but now from the stuff yall have told me it sounds like it will help. i know a family friend who has coucolling too. im going to contact him and ask him what they do atcouncolling. yeah

Im going to go to coucolling

Counseling... That sucks. >.<

But, that aside, I think you should go. I mean, you won't know what will happen untill you actually go, right? Plus, pills can have a nasty side effect...

Also, about your worry that he or she might tell your parents what you tell him or her during a meeting, they cannot do that. But, patient confidentiality might not apply if the patient is a minor... o.o But, I digress. Request that he or she does not tell your parents anything that you talk about, and that should make it so he or she cannot tell them... If he or she does.... Sue them! Yay! (Just kidding, just kidding....)

You don't have to say what you don't want too. I mean you don't have to tell her that you lost your virginity or somthing. The idea of going to these people, is they are tring to help you. By listening to your problem's.
It helps when you say something's. Even though they don't do anything about it, it feel's like there's a weight being lifted off your chest.
Trust me, you will feel better.

Also, I'm pritty sure they are not allowed to tell anyone your privite information. Although, they can give view point's of how they think you are, to your close family. Like if your really depressed, they can say that your not doing well. They will also help them, help you.

It's not that bad, give it a try.
If you don't like it, you don't have go. It's your choice, but tring it once or twice wont hurt.

Hehe, I'm 14 too. I have some other kind's of issues. But I know where your comming from your shy. I am too, just try to relax. At counceling they are going to make it a relaxed and layed back enviorment. It is anyway, you don't have to tell your life's story at the first visit. It may take while to get useto the person who's seeing you. Don't worry about it that much, it's really not that bad. Just relax, and don't pressure yourself.
