Histrionic behaviours

...See more Hi. I know I'm about to sound like one of those girls we all hated in school. I apologise in advance. I'm not formally diagnosed as Histrionic, but all of my behaviours indicate the strong possibility of me having the disorder. I find that I have a need for constant attention, and when the focus shifts off of me even just for a second, I go crazy. When I was younger, I would pretend like I was sick or injured when I wasnt receiving the attention I thought I needed, and sometimes I would break things or do something to get in trouble. Now that I'm older, I dont usually go to such drastic measures. Instead I do things like wear provocative outfits or dance/act sexually. Many times when I'm out places and I feel like im not the center of attention, I end up storming out and pouting, or I'll swear that I wont ever return and blame the others for not focusing enough on me. Of course, when I receive the attention i need, the behaviour is quelled and I dont act like a brat. A lot of people have become annoyed with me for these behaviours, and I've lost some friends in the process, but I dont know how to stop myself. Any tips besides therapy? Much appreciated, xx
Is this severe panic or something more serious?

...See more Hi all, For the last couple of years, I noticed that whenever something comes up to trigger my anxiety, I spiral into this very weird and confusing state. On some occasions I completely shut down and become less responsive and almost robotic-like, and others I'll go into a state of rage or mania and have all of these crazy thoughts and things I want to do. Most recent example is thinking about someone who hurt me. I thought about all the ways to get revenge and my thoughts actually invoked a physiological response. I felt my heart beat faster and my mind started to race and I couldnt slow it down no matter what I tried to do. Eventually I was able to break free of these thoughts, but somehow my brain felt different after the whole ordeal. I'm sorry, it's very hard to explain. But any sort of input as to what it could be and how to deal with it would be much appreciated.
