hi all, sorry for the first hi.
as i have been there and sometime go back there i can relate to all of you,
i found this on the net and it HAS helped. please find time to read it..
CAN YOU REALLY STOP PANIC ATTACKS?
How bad are they? Do you feel like your mind is out of control? Do you feeling like running and
hiding from yourself? Are you afraid that you are going insane?
Well, I've BEEN THERE!!! Now I am NOT THERE and I want to share with you
how
I did it. I'm not selling anything. I have had to relate my experiences
SO
MANY TIMES to friends and others needing help that I decided to put it
out
for everyone to read RIGHT HERE on this web site. This is an effective method for completely eliminating panic attacks.
You may not like it or fully comprehend it (especially in the first
reading).
Nevertheless, I think that it will help you understand more about what
is
going on inside your head. I know this because it was inside MY head for
so
long. Understanding helps you get control. "Without fear of them they cannot exist" These simple, rational words have so much truth to them! Your panic attacks
are YOU being afraid of the way YOU feel. They represent the conflict of
YOU
being afraid of YOU! IF you didn't FEAR the "way" you feel,
then you would
have no more panic attacks. This is the answer in a nutshell (no pun,
honest)!
First of all I want to
acknowledge that I studied the writings of Dr.Claire Weekes for many
years. She proposed a very rational method for conquering nervous
stress,
panic and agoraphobia. (LEGAL INFORMATION: I am a biological scientist.
I am
NOT a psychologist (although my sister is) nor trained in psychology.
Therefore, I can make no claims or guarantees.) These are my experiences
that I relate to you on this page and through them perhaps you will get
some
understanding of your own situation and help in dealing with your panic
feelings.
OK? Ready?
In quick overview, to end a panic attack - an overwhelming feeling of
fear -
you have to pass through the wall of apprehension to the other side of
your
fear (no, this isn't some weird faith healing or new age crap). This
works!
I wish I could take you there by the hand myself but YOU have to do it.
The
trust in it working is something that goes against all aspects of our
sense
of survival and takes some time to really believe in. Yet IF you are
experiencing a fear/panic attack I found the only way to beat it is to
try
to let the feeling be as worse as it wants to be. Let it be as bad as
you
can make it. And, because it truly IS a self-created fear, once you have
made the desire to travel to the "OTHER side" of fear by
letting it do its
positively worse to you then ...there is NOTHING...nothing there. No
fear.
The other side is NO fear at all but a big smile. The moment of
realization
is a wonderful experience. It was THEN that I, myself, began to realize
that
these "out of control" feelings were finished!
Stress is the major instigator for panic feelings. Perhaps you had
realized
a certain level of stress that had exceeded your ability to release it.
I
say, "had" because probably the event that triggered these
panic attacks is
over with. There are many relaxation methods for lowering stress and all
of
them are beneficial. Understanding your stress and learning to manage it
will always help you throughout your life. However, the panic attacks
were
probably the culmination of that initial stress event. I don't care WHAT
or
HOW you arrived at these feelings - you have them and you don't like
them
and you want to get rid of them! Right now it's not important that your
mother was mean or your father ignored you or if you are a
perfectionist, or
obsessive, etc. I a
