Anxiety Attack Causes - What Really Lies Behind The Disorder
When a person suffers from anxiety attacks, it can be quite frustrating for the sufferer to contend with. It can interrupt the day to day life of the person dealing with the anxiety.
For many people, it is not just one issue or dilemma that causes the anxiety attack but rather a culmination of things. By finding out what causes the disorder, it can help the person in the quest to regaining control of one self as well as decreasing the amount of attacks that occur. Like previously stated, the attacks come about from many different reasons, situations and objects.
During one time or another, each and every person finds themselves in an uncomfortable and stressed induced, anxiety-filled situation. From being afraid of speaking in front of people, doing a job interview or just meeting people for the first time, it all adds up to people suffering an anxiety attack.
When a person begins to suffer the symptoms of the attack in the psychological standpoint, physical ones also tend to appear from the intensified anxiety level. If the person can pinpoint what are the causes behind their suffering, they can find ways avoid the situations. But facing the problem or problems head on is better than running away from it.
Three Causes Behind Anxiety Attacks
- Social Anxiety
- Objects
- Pre Situation Anxiety
Social anxiety occurs when a person meets someone new or is approached by someone they do not know. Most of the fear stems from being made fun of or saying the wrong thing or also being thought of negative light. When speaking in front of a group of people, it sometimes is impossible for a person with anxiety disorder to not feel as if they will not mess up, leading up to the attack.
Another cause behind the attacks are objects. Bridges in particular can be quite stimulating for people afraid of them. Hearing negative items about a bridge including one such incident as in the Minnesota Bridge Collapse. The I-35W corridor collapsed during one of the 2007 rush hour traffic while it was being worked on. The tragedy killed several people but injured scores more.
Working to get over anxiety attacks around objects is not a feat that goes unbeaten… it is just a bit harder to work with. Working with a therapist will make getting “over” or complacent a bit easier for the sufferer. The therapist will come up with several plans for the sufferer to use.
For those things that have not happened yet, getting scared beforehand is rather common. A stressful job interview that everything in your household is riding on to get. A doctor’s appointment where the doctor suggests the sufferers comes in to get the results. Anxiety of a child’s impending graduation. All this can lead up to an attack. The cause behind these attacks have something to do with the way ther brain processes information.
A therapist will help the sufferer in changing the way theyy think and find techniques to help them cope with situations that have not happened yet. When using the effective skills learned, it is possible to change the mind’s way of thought.
Should you experience an attack but don’t know why, speaking with a therapist can narrow down possible causes. The therapist can recommend techniques to use in every situation and may even recommend medication if the attacks warrant it.

My friends completely went behind my back!?
In December I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic attack disorder. It was a really hard time in my life, my parents weren’t very supportive, and I was having panic attacks almost everyday.
But about a month before this happened I was at my friends house. We’ll call him Jake. We were in his room watching tv. He had his arm around me, but this was normal because we were close. We would always give each other little pecks on the lips too. We were both single, so it was no big deal. I was attracted to him clearly. He always acted like he liked me too, but we never talked about that or made it official. But anyway We were on his couch when he sneezed, it sounded like a fake sneeze, but turned to say god please you to be polite anyway. Just as I did he kissed me. I didn’t think anyway of it. He licked my bottom lip to ask for entrance. But I didn’t give in. So when I didn’t he started tickling me. He took advantage of it and slide his tongue in. You clearly don’t need anymore detail. So into a huge makeout session. Later that night he walked me home and gave me a kiss goodnight. I was on cloud a million the next day when I went to meet up with my best friend. I told her what happened. And she just kept smiling at me and saying how she knew that was coming soon. So later that week she brought it up in a study hall we had with our three other friends, and they got curious and pulled it out of me. They had the same reaction she had. I told them to please not say anything to him as I didn’t want him to think I had a huge mouth cause i don’t. Me and jae never mentioned it again, and I moved on and starting talking to an old ex again whom I began to develop feelings for again.
So time passed i got diagnosed with my anxiety and it was a hard time in my life and i needed my friends. One day i was at home after i had left school early, and i got a call from my friends. They were calling me a bitch, a fake ass liar, and such. I got really upset after they told me that he said it never happened. BUT IT DID. i would never lie. Especially since i have been hurt before by people who have lied to me. I ended up having a major panic attack passed out, and hit my head pretty hard so I had to go to the hospital just to make sure i had to major brain damage. I have no idea why he said it didn’t happen. That really upset me, and the fact that my best friends of like 10 years didn’t believe me and went behind my back and asked him, even after they promised not too! I do not talk to them anymore and have not since. they occasionally try, and they spread rumors about me and stuff. Just wondering, what would you do or have done in my position? Sorry that it’s long! (:
I have started hanging out with other friends, who believe me, and are supportive.
And I am not over reacting! they literally were harassing me for like a week with prank phone calls. I only knew it was them because they forgot to block they’re numbers a few times, but what they said was always the same hurtful shit. I had to get my phone number changed and everything.
I’d find myself some new friends.

That is SO wrong of them! and "Jake," well, he is just a ***** who was totally using you! im seriously mad at them right now~as i have been having MAJOR friend problems lately.

I would honestly have just ignored it. Or have sex with their boyfriends. Better yet, if they don’t have boyfriends, make fun of them for that.
References :
I honestly would never have told anybody anything. Especially becuase you two were really not official or anything. That jake guy was probably just trying to get into your pants.

Wow…
I can’t believe your friends would do such a thing. Haven’t they ever heard the saying Sisters before Misters? And 10 years…all gone down the drain just like that? I can’t help but think there has to be more to it, that maybe he told him something else. I’m more likely to believe that he had said something terrible (Sorry!) to get them to do such a thing!
Moreover, why are your friends so upset that he didn’t kiss/makeout with you? If I were your friend of even two years, I would be confused but not angry. It doesn’t seem fair, and it seems really FISHY to me…
Moving onwards, I think you need to first clear this up with your friends. Tell them that the guy isn’t telling the truth. Remind them that you’ve been their friends for literally YEARS, and ask why they would go with his word over yours. Then, confront this guy and ask him why he told them that. Get to the bottom of it, ASAP before something else happens!
Hope this helped. Best of luck to you!

You kind sound like a hypochondriac and a drama queen… I don’t know maybe it’s just this post.
I think I probably would have smacked the boy up haha

I would not defend yourself. No need to. You are the one that decided to go with your ex again. Mr. kisser may denied your two kissing because he felt kinda betrayed by you. At this point, all this comes with the territory with friends at your age. It will pass if you do not continue to be snippy.

I would move on and become friends again with the ones you never talk to.

i say forget them…get new friends..ones that u dont have to prove urself to….they clearly need proof of everything u do in ur life….leave them and get new friends…u know it happened and thats it…and the fact that the guy denied anything happened bw u and him is probably bc they approached him and he was ticked off that they needed to know every detail…they shouldnt have done this its not any of their business anyway…so go and find new friends…ones that are gonna be true to u and believe u without having to give them proof of everything u do…
dont let ur anxiety keep u from having a good life and a happy one..get new friends and keep ur guards up..if they are always gonna be asking u for proof u just dont tell them anything…find friends that are gonna help u and be glad that u and a guy are happy and doing things….and about the rumors they are starting..forget about it… pretend ur not even hearing them…this will get them annoyed if they see ur not being pressured about it and feeling anyway about it..this will eat them up alive and get them mad and eventually they will give up on making up new rumors about u cuz they will think u wont react anyway…so forget them…go and find new friends…and have fun….hope this helps:)

i would have ignored it completely. but in your case, much worse than my friends’. she’s a girl, i’ll get her to help you out. she knows a lot about this whole backstabbing thing. those panic attacks. all i can probably do is console you, i wish i were there. i would give you a hug, you deserve one. and right now, that guy totally used you. he’s a player. he manipulates, and your best friends? i won’t even go there. what they did was worse than what that jack or whatever his name is did.
References :
Oh, baby.. So sorry there are people like them out there. I was betrayed also by a bestfriend before.
I would have done the same if I were you. In addition to that, I’d start making friends and hanging out with them.. So, go and find friends just learn from the lesson - be choosy of them.
References :
I would have stop being their friends too..you can’t find a good genuine friend nowadays…
They’ll smile in your face and talk about you behind your back..the next day.
I’d rather not have them as friends in the long run….
I know I’m a good person and I’m not in the least bit dumb or naive to a situation going on around me..so why act like it…?!
It’s not worth it.
especially if you’re going through something as serious as panic attacks..
I’ve been there..and at moments like those you feel alone…and all you want is a true friend..by your side..not some phony..especially someone who gets mad at you over what some lame as* dude said..who can’t even admit to his overly dramatic romeo and juliet type kiss..

You have the right to wonder, and the right to confront them if this ever worries you more…Its terrible and I send my regards to you for having to deal with panic attacks and anxiety caused by what they said and did to you. If I were in your place I would have probably asked them questions as to why theyd call me that or not trust me and seek "jake" and find out what he could have done that made your friends turn on you.
You my darling do anything wrong, I feel what you have gone through, and i dont think anything you did was wrong
