Can extreme feelings of rejection cause panic attacks?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, though I would like to point out that it isn't just you panicking here: your mother and sister likely know what they are doing to you, know what their rejection is putting you through emotionally, and are *very* likely being abusive about it all.
It is clear to me though that you cannot confront them with this as that will only ramp up the situation even more and make your life yet worse.
What I would do in this case is to acknowledge that it isn't just you, ok? Pay attention to the fact that your loved ones, for whatever reason, are playing a head-game with you and that *that* fact--their behavior, not yours--lies outside of your own control.
So, take care of what you *can* control, yourself. You do need to discuss this situation with someone so *you* can process the feelings if nothing else. Find someone you can trust, a teacher, a counselor if need be, a family member you can trust to *not* pull the same stunt your mom and sis are, perhaps a minister at your church or a neighbor who looks out for you..find *somebody* you can talk about this with, face-to-face, without fear of judgement. Get it out of your system in a way that lets you feel what you need to feel without judging it or yourself (which is, essentially, what your mother and sister are doing, they are *pre-judging* your feelings and *your self* sight unseen) in any way.
Yes, in some bad cases, you might need to speak with a therapist or a social worker, not just out of your own need to process in a safe place, but also to figure out that "where do I go from here as regards *them*?" question. But the nature of your details suggest to me that if you can discuss this frankly and openly with *anyone* who cares enough to listen to you face-to-face and knows the situation for what it is, that maybe your panic will subside as you calm down and realize that it isn't *your fault* you are being judged unfairly and *ganged up on*, for whatever reason. I mean, why does your mother have to recruit your sister to make her point? She's your *mother*, has she no authority of her own with you.? See what I mean? :)
I hope this helps.

Yes, it can, if you are suffering from any type of problem, break up, or anythign like that your mind can cause you to go into shock, and create panic attacks. It is normal for your body to do this but you need to help control it. If its severe than maybe concider medication. :)
of course, but remember, no one has ever died from a panic attack Yes. And stressful situations or memory regression can also trigger a panic attack, or elevate your anxiety as well.
I believe they may . . . its all psychological
yes it can.
Anything that causes you anxiety can trigger a panic attack. yep, and it needs to be attended to
A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting no more than thirty minutes. Symptoms include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation, paresthesias (tingling sensations), and sensations of choking or smothering. The disorder is strikingly different from other types of anxiety, in that panic attacks are very sudden, appear to be unprovoked, and are often disabling.
Meditation and/or medication can help to reduce or even prevent this1
yes I do believe it can, after all it makes you nervous, what ever makes you uncomfortable can trigger a panic attack. Though sometimes panic attacks just sneak out of nowhere, I have panic attacks, and sometimes I am just watching TV in my room and get one. there is medication for them, you should see a doctor. hullo
panic behavior is extreme fear,yes it can happen in your case.
you should try to solve the problem with your family,if you can.
