Panic attacks can strike at any point in your life, even if you´ve never experienced them before.

It´s not like you have a get out of jail free card if you make it to 18, 30 or even 50 without encountering a panic attack. It depends on the specific triggering events that happen in your life as well as your predisposition to anxiety.

For many young people, high school and college are a particularly stressful time and therefore a time of panic attacks. Studying for the SAT´s, taking achievement tests, applying to college, even figuring out your prom date can all be sources of great strain.

There is so much pressure placed on young people today and many kids push themselves too hard trying to please themselves, their parents and others, that significant anxiety, even panic attacks result.

If you are experiencing panic attacks or high levels of anxiety, it's certainly not the end of the world. When you´re young, it can sometimes feel like problems take on gigantic size proportions.

Many young people don´t have sufficient tools or knowledge to cope with these problems and worry ...
... in the extreme that they are crazy, will be unable to accomplish their goals or lead a horrible life. None of these things are true and your anxiety problem, while certainly an issue that needs to be dealt with, is not the end of your dreams or happiness.

"Hi, I have panic attacks" isn´t a conversation starter, so you don´t normally realize how frequent an occurrence it is. Millions of Americans suffer from anxiety problems and many of these issues start early on in life in childhood and young adulthood.

My own anxiety started early in life and while I was able to eventually find the help and answers I needed, I found it hard to confide in my friends about it. After all, it didn´t seem very manly to say "by the way, I have anxiety and sometimes I find certain situations overwhelming". I could just imagine finding a rock at that moment and crawling under it.

Back then, secrecy seemed to be the norm when it came to dealing with problems. I think today´s world is full of more knowledgeable people who know to respond to anxiety sufferers. The very fact that so much information is so readily available on the internet is a positive sign.

Doctors are able to diagnose the problem more efficiently and effectively. There are numerous treatments, techniques and books all designed to help people suffering from anxiety. It´s important not to suffer alone.

You´re not alone, there are millions of people facing this challenge right along side you and finding ways to effectively control or eliminate their problem. Confide in someone and start getting the help and support you need to confront your anxiety and eliminate it.
