Hi All you special people,
First I would like to say sorry:( for not replying to post. I thought I had been suffering SA all my life but as Meg has kindly pointed out ( thank you soooo much Meg [^]:D I suffer low self esteem and lack of confidence, so replying to post is very hard for me at the moment.
I came to this site suffering with PA and high anxiaty symptoms, living in fear 24/7:( Mrs Aanixaty tried to give me sooo many phobias,
eg, going out, going into shops, eating, drinking health problems and many more. When I look back I had every symptom you can think of.
Like most of you I thought that my PA came out of the blue, thought that there was NO reason for me to be having panic attacks.
Since finding this site I did not have far to look where my panic had come from. The low self esteem and lack of confidence has been eating away at me. For me I do believe that the panic was my bodys way of saying, I've had enough. All through my life I have had soooo many negative thoughts about alot of things.
For a number of years my daughter from the age of 3 suffered PA and anxaity, this was in NO WAY the cause of my panic, this just put more stress and negative thoughts into what was an already negative mind.
Before I had my PA my daughter was on the mend, I have tought her soo much over the years, facing her fears teaching her confideance.
She is doing soooo well and I'm soooo proud of her[^][^] She will be 12 years old in August and she has not had a PA in a long time.
It is sooo true when they say, to understand what a PA sufferer goes through, you have to go through it yourself. All that I tought my daughter, facing your fears. how to deal with the panic, the symptoms.
When it happened to me the fear was sooo intense I could NOT control my own thoughs and fears.:( It took this site and the special people on her to bring me back from the hell Mr Panic and Mrs anxiaty was putting me through.
The advice on here is priceless, it all works, I am proof of that. I have not had a PA since christmas and that was because my Mum was told she had breast cancer and we where waiting for the results to come though. Even then I told Mr Panic to P*** O** and he did not stay long.
Befor that it was in August befor finding this site on holiday in one day I had 6 PA and my body was on high allert all the time. As i have said I was in fear 24/7 and having alot of axiaty symptoms.
For me, understanding the thought pattern help me soooo much. After my first PA I programmed my mind very quidkly to fear these symptoms, to fear Mr Panic. My thoughs were, I have a terrible illness and my GP can't find it or I was going to be like this for the rest of my life. The hardest thing is to change your thoughts, it's easy to fight with
other people but the hardest thing is to fight with yourself. Mrs anxiaty is always there telling you the negative thoughs.
You must fight back, keep putting positive thoughs in your head. No matter how small the positive thought is.
I started by telling myself and anyone else that would listen all the symptoms of PA, anixaty. I would write them down and say to myself, " oh my god look what Mrs anxiaty can dish out. By doing this I was programming my thought pattern, so when Mrs anxiaty would throw a symmptom at me insted of thinking, heart attack my thoughs would think
anxiaty attack. Even when I believed that the symptoms were all anxiaty,Mrs anxiaty was there again saying that I would be like this for the rest of my life. Again my battle began with my thoughs, fighting with Mr anxiaty, chipping away with the positive thoughs, telling myself and anyone that would listem that I WILL get better.
All this did not happen over night, every thought throughout every day was about PA and anxiaty. No matter what I was doing I was thinking about this all the time. Putting positive thougts into my head, kept telling myself the symptoms WILL NOT harm me and I WILL GET BETTER.
Even when I started to have days with NO anxiaty I would still go over and over in my head how to deal and cope with the sym
