Sometimes, things in life do get to be too much.  But, there are things you can do.  Don't forget to take care of yourself, and take time to relax.  Everybody's different, but I think for most of us, stress zaps us of our energy, but just allow your body to rest whenever possible.  It needs it.  Also, do things you enjoy to take your mind off of it.  Spend time with friends.  Go talk to a counselor or therapist if you need to.  Then, there's always medication.  It's not a bad thing.  Some people are born with chemical deficiencies, and it helps them out a lot.  Just some things to consider. 

Being one that literally has debilitating panic attacks and anxiety disorder,  I can totally sympathise with you Joel.  Here's my tips for you in dealing with them.

1.  the most important thing is to realize what's going on.  Your body is telling your brain "I'm dying",  but your brain is saying to your body "Nope,  we're just fine!"  Realizing that your having a panic attack is the key,  because then you're in control of a situation where you feel like you've lost total control.

2.  after you realize what's happening,  take 10 deep breaths,  exhaling twice as slow as you inhaled.  Sometimes this alone can bring your heart rate back under control.  basically,  you're having to hit the reset button on your body. 

3.  Find something to focus on in your head.  I usually go backwards through the list of US Presidents.  When I run out of those,  I go forwards through Brittish Monarchs,  starting at the House of Plantagenet. 

4.  Physical activity.  Make the rest of your body match the speed of your heart.  Once you get up there,  gradually bring it back to rest.  Anything is goos...Even laps around your living room work.

5.  Modify your diet to avoid caffeine as much as possible.  Caffeine is a stimulant,  and that's the last thing you need when you're prone to flipping out.

6.  If all else fails,  see a doctor.  There's some really good treatments for panic attacks/anxiety disorder.

As I said... talk to Oneel

Praying for you Friend. I know DJ Pat D goes through this as well.

medication can help. see a doctor and ask God if its right for you. i know it worked for me.

i am disagnosed with obsessive comulsive disorder with psychosis and major depression. i went off my meds cause i thought it would bring more glory to God if i did it relying only on Him. well i ended up with bleeding hands from washing so much and 120lbs cause i felt i was sinning when i ate. went to the hospital got back on my meds and i'm as good as new... better even. so medication isn't a bad thing.
