hi

[tonyk]

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
