| anxiety & panic attacks - how to deal with them
Posted: 9/23/2009 9:07:58 PM | I’ve tried dozens of other books, and tapes, as well as many therapy sessions and they did absolutely nothing for me. Some of these things actually triggered my anxiety episodes.
Purchasing Panic Away program was one of my best decisions.
The Panic Away program is based on advanced psychology, made simple for everyone to apply and it only takes seconds to implement wherever you are.

| anxiety & panic attacks - how to deal with them
Posted: 10/27/2009 3:34:50 PM | I am sure you know that Anxiety/panic attacks stem from suppressed 'fear' or worry of some sort. I went through a period where I had them about 19 yrs ago and it went on for prob. 4 yr as well. But I only had about 4 full blown attacks thank gawd. And just minor one's here and there where I would feel anxious but I learned to stop them from getting worse.
The first attack I had I literally felt like I was having a nervous breakdown. I didn't know what was wrong with me except I felt complete and utter dissoulute. I'd had an argument with a relative and I was very sad about it and started crying. I was alone and so I let the tears flow....then BOOM. I had no control over the panic I felt, heart racing a mile a minute, shaking, feeling like everyone in the world hated me and that I didn't belong it was awful....it took a while for the attack to wear off, actually it took days. Because about 2-3 days following my nerves were literally on edge like I'd had shock treatment or something. I Found myself very jumpy, easily startled etc. It was so bad that I never allowed myself to cry again for a good year and a half in fear if I did I'd trigger another attack. The feeling of having NO control over what your body does is nothing i'd experienced before and the scariest feeling in the world. I remember during one of my attacks I TRIED desperately to think of other things but I couldn't control this freaky hell that took over my nervous system. And because I felt like that and felt my heart tearing through my chest made it worse ugh.......
Anyways I met a Doctor back then who told me the best way to help with anxiety is to write down everything and anything that was bothering me and I felt anxious to stop what I was thinking and get up and do something else, go get water, go for a walk anything to get your mind off the trigger.
And that is what I did. I wrote everything and anything down.....whenever I was upset over things I wrote it down, or even happy things I wrote down. The pen paper and me become the bestest of friends I kid you not..... I kept journals and wrote and wrote and wrote and I kid you not it rid me of the attacks. I still write to this day but not as much as I did back then but I still keep journals that I write in.
Anyways once in a while I may get that anxious feeling and if I do I STOP myself from the thoughts and focus on something else and these techniques really saved me!!
So anyone I meet who does suffer from anxiety I tell them to write....it does work...
O and for the post before me, yes I was prescribed a mild pill as well and I did take them when I was feeling anxious but that is all a part of my past now...
Reading other people's experiences where you can find yourself relating to is also something that helps. It helps to know that you are not the only one who goes through this but know there is a cure it just lies within your own thought process. Once I trained my mind to release all thoughts by writing them out it released so much that I kept bottled up inside of me and it truly does work.

Posted: 11/3/2009 7:54:41 AM | Honey,
I hope I am coming across here concerning the topic.
I have epilepsy which is all good now. I believe the medicine I take or used to or just naturally I would get panic attacks. I went to a specilized epilepsy clinic, MNCEP (sp) and they recomnended awhile ago I read the book titled "Calming your anxious mind" by Jeffrey Brantley, MD.
Now I am sure you can buy this book at your local book store.
Also some recommended reading is:
"The Worry Trap" by Chad Lejeune, PHD
"Change your brain, change your life" by Daniel G. Amen
These books are best read with a cup of decaf :)
Out for now!

Posted: 11/5/2009 4:04:05 PM | | Hi Op firstly don't give up entirely on therapy beacuse if you find one u like sometimes It can be so easy to talk to someone. Secondly It will get better it just might take a while. I used to suffer from sever panick attacks due to social phobia and other childhood trauma i don't want to go into...But with a degree of controlled exposure i was able to deal with them...i still get the occasional one but I'm able to attend full time university so i can't complain. Have you heard of No Panick? | |

Posted: 11/14/2009 4:58:15 PM | Check out this web site by a young guy named Geert who has made it a mission to help people with this. He has videos, blogs etc there and also has an email list. While he's not a doctor, I think his personal experiences and passion for helping others make him a great resource.
the address is ilovepanicattacks.com
Good luck. | |
