if anyone gets this or can help i would really appreciate it, none of my friends are like this and it makes me feel crazy and like i'm the only one. i get these attacks where i can't breath and shake all over and stutter and start making no sense at all. i roll into a little ball on the ground or in my closet in the dark. it doesn't happen all the time but enough to cause worry.i'm really uncomfortable talking about cause i'm scared people won't want to be my friend anymore. i use to also always overdose on pain releif pills untill i was completely out of it, but i am over that stage. i don't cope with stress well and it doesn't help my situation so if anyone has anything to say i would be so gratefull.
oh yeah i also have problems sleeping.

Sweetheart, this sounds so much like a panic attack. Why don't you post this over on the Panic Disorders forum, and take a look at some of the posts while you're there...I really feel like this is what you're experiencing.

I was also thinking panic attack.
I can't say from just reading your account, it could also be a seizure disorder?
Please don't feel ashamed of it. Do your parent know about this? It would be a REALLY good idea to see a doctor about it.
Did you ever talk to somebody about the pain reliever abuse/overdosing? It is so dangerous! I am glad to hear you are over that stage, as you call it. It does sound like you are in a lot of pain and have been for quite a while. It would really be great if you could get help. You don't have to suffer all by yourself.
Maybe there is a counselor at your school, or a health center, where you could go?
You are having relapse effects from your past, abusing pain pills, etc. You must get this checked out. You can easily turn these attacks into seizures which could be dangerous. You also seem to be showing signs of severe social anxiety disorder. This must be treated at once. Do not wast another minute. Please talk to someone. A teacher, counsler, doctor, parents, friends, and so on. These people will listen. Good Luck!
Schoolgirl,
Hope you've managed to see someone about it. I can understand that it must be tough to decide WHO you should talk to. Don't worry - try to choose some doc that has been of help in previous sicknesses or else go thru forums/ boards where you'll find that you're not alone.
Most of us who come to such forums are people who thought they were all alone & no one could understand them. In my country half the doctors dont even know that there's something called OSA !! When I went thru a surgery last year under GA I had to tell the anaesthesist that I was an apnea patient & he'd need to adjust his dosage. He was so happy because as he said even doctors are not aware of this problem.
Then, when I came to different forums I found that so much work has been done on it abroad - even getting no treatment here in India doesnt trouble me ! There are so many others like me !!
