Tips to Cope with a Panic Attack. A panic attack is a sudden rush of physical symptoms — like shortness of breath, muscle spasms, and nausea — coupled with uncontrollable anxiety and sometimes a sense of impending doom.
Visits to the emergency room and desperate late night phone calls to doctors often result, as do test results that often reveal nothing. If you’ve ever had a panic attack, you can probably empathize with the frustration and hopelessness of not knowing exactly what happened. By educating yourself about panic attacks, you can begin to gain control of the problem.

This is a 20-year-old boy from the Netherlands. After his suicide, his parents included his suicide note in the death notice: "Dear mum and dad, all my life I have been ridiculed, abused, bullied, and that's why I chose to leave. I hope you won't be angry with me," Tim Ribberink, 1992-2012.
Going through the news reports on his suicide, I was shocked that his parents had been completely ignorant of the pain their son had been going through. When I was young, or even now, I have never been very "macho". This young man was 20-years-old, about the same age as all of you are. Why are you crying? I hope that our school can be an environment in which you can retain your youthfulness and innocence, to learn and to grow up without fear.

School days and years are longer and parents often schedule enrichment activities for their children instead of giving them space to direct their own play. Children are rarely given the freedom to direct their own activities, leading to a persistent rise in children feeling that they have no control over their lives. And, while correlation doesn’t prove causation, Dr. Peter Gray, who has been studying play for years, says there’s strong evidence that in this case, the decline in play is leading to a rise in depression and acute anxiety among young people.
