hi, i am an 18 year old male who over the past few months have experienced anxiety issues..it started with just feeling antsy and uncomfortable when i went out with friends and such, then it progressed to panic attacks with that strange feeling in my chest and trouble breathing, lightheadedness, feeling flushed, and all that. but recently it has progressed to where i am constantly having the worrying in the back of my mind. it leaves me feeling distracted and have trouble functioning through my day. even when i am not experiencing physical symptoms, i am constantly fretting over my mental health, scared im going to lose it or turn into some psycho killer or something..this fearful thinking then causes it to get worse and i feel like im trapped in a vicious cycle and it is taking over my day to day life.. i have scheduled a psychiatrist appt. but it is not for 3 weeks, does anyone with more experience have any advice as to how i can free myself of the constant freaking out and just be able to live my life? i am commited to beating this and am just about willing to try anything
