this is temporary right?

I've had anxiety disorder since I was 16. It's all in the mind....it's a chemical imbalance that you can correct with medication but if you can learn to control your thoughts, you get over it.
 
dude, you only know how bad it is...if you think its worth a trip to your doc...go talk to your doctor.... or drink some Earl Grey tea..claims your nerves. and remember its just a game doesn't matter if you win or lose its a game....personally, i get stressed over college exams not really games so much.

You have a anxiety disorder? Ive had anxiety so bad at one point in my life that I couldnt even leave the house without having a panic attack, it was my fault though due to all the drugs and partying I used to do.

actually chamomile is the tea that works best at calming down nerves.

Yes. I got it during summer vacation so I was stuck in my house for months, missed some school, and my dad bought me a lot of DVDs to keep me entertained because I would get an attack just by talking about my experience. My friend was with me when I first got one so I was chatting with her on the phone and telling her what happened and I started to get one. It was THAT bad. I went to the doctor but the douchebag told me I 'didn't have it long enough' so he wouldn't give me pills. I got another serious one, went to the hospital, and they gave me pills for it.

People don't know the difference between having anxiety disorder and just having general anxiety.....everyone has anxiety of some degree in certain situations but anxiety disorder is a whole different ball game.
 
My advice to any level player playing on any level.....

control your breathing. when you have that control, the sky's the limit. Look up breathing pratices online and find something that works for you.

BREATHING IS THE KEY!
 
Same thing happens to me after not playing for a while. Just go to practice mode and practice your combos for a bit to gain the confidence you need and then go online and tear it up :D
 
Sounds like your Vagus nerve (fight or flight response) is freaking out. You may want to talk to a doctor to get your neurocardio (brain/nervous system and heart) stuff checked out.
 
My friend suffers from panic attacks.what is going through your mind when you start to feel those symptoms you described? with him he starts to think about stuff and that only makes things worse.A clear mind and breathing is the key.if that does not work maybe benzodiazepines may be required.My friend needs them from time to time when he has a really bad anxiety attack and he is unable to stop it himself.Whatever the case may be,I wish you all the best in mental and physical health ;)
 
Nope, it's permanent. And it'll only get worse, as eventually you will start to shake so violently you'll spontaneously burst into flames at which time Dan Forden will pop out of your TV screen and yell Toasty!! :twisted:


JK, just try to relax and have fun rather than feel you have to do good. :)
 
Yeah i get anxious too before a match but then i remind myself that its only a game. And before i know it, im havin fun.
 
This is very common if you have an anxiety disorder or have been prone to panic attacks in the past. As an individual with a crippling form of anxiety, I can say that it's nothing to be ashamed of. Depending on the severity of these attacks, you may or may not want to see a doctor if they persist. Remember that a game is never worth jeopardizing your health.

While there is no one strategy that works for everyone, a great place to begin is by playing with close friends. Try playing with some people you are comfortable with before going up against random players online. Something that helps me is to just intentionally lose my focus. It may sound counterintuitive, but that moment of distraction say before a match can really help. If your mind is somewhere else for even a few seconds, then it's not on the anxiety. After it's passed and the fight has begun, you can regain your focus and by that time it's easier to concentrate on the match and with a little less pressure.

I don't neccessarily think it's a confidence issue. There was a Killer Instict premier at Best Buy years ago that I played in. I was shaking, hyperventilating, sweat was dripping off my face but it wasn't due to not having the confidence because at the time I was convinced that I could pretty much beat anybody who stepped up.. and I did, even if they were looking at me wondering what the hell was wrong.
 
Try not to worry about it Bro easier said then done But i know how u feel, i have a abnormal anxiety and panic disorder
its not a fun thing to deall with especially when you dont know what the hell is going on and why you feel the way you do
if you have questions etc i can hellp a bitt i have been dealing with it for a very long time
But more then likely your getting super tence kinda like stage fright sorta,just relax a bitt try to anyway
hope that hellped Bro \m/

Sure jade can to by the way

Sounds like a combo of adrenalin and fear....... Not so much a condition. I had the exact same thing when I was about to start my first online match.

This ^ . My friend had anxiety for awhile but once he started taking medicine (and stopped) he realized that it's all in the head.

The only people who understand anxiety disorder are other people who have it. To sum it up: you feel as if you are going to die. The thoughts are different, depending on the person. It ranges from 'I feel so trapped in here' to 'everyone is looking at me'. I get minor attcks when stuck in traffic because I feel 'trapped' in the car and thoughts like 'there is nowhere to go' pop in my head but I've had this shit so long that I know how to control it without pills.

well said Jade.. you no its the ones that come out of nowhere that hit you hard but the ones you no are comeing are hell of a lot easier to cope with 4 me anyway
 
I used to get like that back in the MKII arcade days. My hands would visibly shake because I was so excited to play. Some guy even laughed at me about it once, but it doesn't happen anymore. Sounds like you're going through the same thing, and it should go away.

The first time I got one, I was going to the mall with my friend and her sister. My mouth was really dry and I had only had a few strawberries for breakfast (this was in July so it was also really hot) and I thought it was just from not eating much and being hot so I got a bite to eat, we walked around, and within a few minutes, I started to shake, got dizzy, palpitations, nausea, couldn't even sit down, I had to get up and pace like crazy in the mall while I waited for my dad to come pick me up. As soon as he got there, it went away....I didn't know why at the time but it was because I felt comfortable when I saw him.

If you are in a comfort zone, it goes away.

When you get an attack, though, your mind is a total *******.....it starts to tell you things to make it worse....like, when I used to go to malls after I learned of my disorder (I would try to see if I could cope without pills, this was way in the beginning when I first started to get them), my mind would say THE DOORS ARE SO FAR AWAY, YOU HAVE TO WALK SO FAR TO GET TO THEM AND YOU ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MALL.

Sounds nuts but, yeah.
