Thanks, any chance you remember what that herbal remedy was?

I've been avoiding caffeine and have been going through quite a bit of stress lately, booked an appointment to see a counselor this Thursday.

Perhaps I will have to try and push myself to try exercising to alleviate some adrenaline, the problem I've had when thinking about it is that my chest is already tight and my heart is pounding, the idea of adding more to that frightens me.

I don't think I was heavily hooked on it, I probably had less than 300mg in a day if I had any at all.

Haven't touched coffee since that night, was actually working on pulling back on caffeine consumption since I was experiencing more anxious feelings as of late when having it.

Before I get started I know this isn't exactly the right forum for this kind of thread, but I thought I'd see if anyone on here can offer up advice anyhow! So, a few nights ago I was just sitting at my PC and drinking coffee, my heart rate was elevated, which is normal when I drink coffee, but then I started getting an immense feeling of fear, over nothing at all. Then thinking about that fear made me even more fearful with my chest starting to hurt and my heart going nuts. Two days later I'm still getting hit with those feelings almost constantly. I went to a doctor today and they prescribed me Ativan to help control it for the short term, but due to my immense feeling of fear I'm scared to take anything because I'm afraid of dying. Might seem silly, but that's one of the things that keeps driving my cycles I think, continuously thinking that it's not a panic attack but a serious medical issue. Plus being afraid of the feeling the panic attack brings. But it fits every symptom of a panic attack and everyone I've spoken to has affirmed that it's a panic attack. There is quite a bit of stress going on in my life right now, which the doctor thinks is causing this. But I'm not even thinking about that stuff when the feelings start, what seems to trigger them is me just thinking about the feelings that I get from it, that overbearing feeling of fear, adrenaline, aching chest, aching stomach, shaking, and most of today, nausea. When I am able to stop thinking about it when playing video games or reading I'm absolutely fine, but then I'll take my mind off what I'm doing for a second and start getting another attack. I've made an appointment to see a counselor Thursday morning. I've barely been eating alongside all this since it makes me feel horribly sick. If anyone has any advice or anything regarding this, I would really greatly appreciate the input!

You could hit it repeatedly with a hammer for the ultimate war zone look!!

I would, but the only people I know are PC gamers with no interest in such a product, unfortunately. :{

Yeah, it certainly is seeming to be such!

I have a £50 Xbox Live gift card code that I got courtesy of work, but I have no use for it and am wanting to sell/trade it. I looked at G2A for it, but a friend of mine recommended against it. I looked at /r/giftcardexchange but as I'm not someone who uses Reddit much, if at all, my account doesn't qualify as an active account to use that subreddit. Not really sure what else to do/try, any suggestions? Might be worth noting it can only be activated in the UK I believe.

So, I've decided I want to get a laptop for basic stuff such as web browsing, Netflix, and YouTube for when I'm not at my PC. I've been looking around and haven't found a lot of great stuff for my price point of under $200 CAD, but I came across an Acer ES1-512-C2FA for $165 CAD. Would it be worth getting for what I want? Seems fine for it, but wondering if you guys have any better suggestions for under $200 or would reinforce getting the Acer? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
