Hi all. Something that works for me with the tight throat, lump in throat thingy etc is to wear a scarf loosely round my neck. Warm muscles are usually relaxed muscles. xxx

I just found this on another forum:
The amygdala, the part of the brain that registers fear, is told that the individual is in great danger. You look around you and see no threat – no bears, spiders etc! But you are still fearful and anxious. So the amygdala must register your very environment as dangerous. You might say that it has nowhere to go, nothing to focus on; there is nothing specific to be worried about, so the fear is projected onto anything and everything. Suddenly, your kitchen or bedroom can seem terribly frightening. You know deep down that there is nothing to be afraid of here – but the fear itself won’t accept that.
So there IS an explanation for why we feel this way!!
Hi Alis
I also get that exact same feeling and i have got into the cycle where if i dont think something will happen, then it will and i wont be prepared for it (stupid heh). it is such a horrible feeling constantly feeling like you are going to die or something with every pain twinge etc. i have even got to the point where i cant go far away from my home as when im in my own hometown i know where all the hospitals and doctors are etc if i need them it i so so awful.

Information that might prove useful:
Your unconscious mind is incapable of accepting negative suggestions. If it is confronted with negative suggestions, it shuts down and waits until something neutral or positive comes along.
Negative suggestions are received and acted on by your conscious mind.
This appears to be why hypnotherapy can eliminate problems altogether (given a sufficient period of treatment).
If you are receiving hypnotherapy or are using subliminal or self-hypnosis techniques, you need to persist with them for at least a month in order to program your unconscious mind.
I would recommend that everyone at least give these types of therapy a try. There is nothing to lose and it might improve your quality of life if you stick with it long enough.
I just wanted to say thanks so much for your post, I slept for the first time in a week. The most sleep I had before was 40 mins and I need my energy through the day as I am a school teacher.
The breathing excersises sent me into such a nice place that took me away from the fear of death, disease, heart attack, storke, passing out etc and allowed me to sleep soundly for 6 hours with 1 attack in the night that I controled in 15 mins flat then I was out for another 2 hours. I only started getting these feelings 2 weeks ago and they have ruined my life, I feel at times like I am going mad...literally! Your post has put me in a more controlled place. I am visitihng my GP on Fri to get some additional support.
Thanks

hi there my name is lucy, and i have been reading your post, which is really helpfull, i have all the same and have agrophobia which i really want to get over. how did you get over all of it, ive suffered from panic and anxiery for 12 years and agrophobia for 5, i know the ins and out, but just dont have the guts to go and do it.
ive traavelled in an emergancy, my eldest daughter was in hospital, and i had another 2 years ago, the whole pregnacy i was worring how on earth was i goinh to get to hospital, but i did it.
also when i do suceed in little jouneys, i worry i might not beable to get home again, and if i do im happy but have no desire to do it again, it dont feel right. but i sit here and think im not normal, this isnt normal to not travel, and other people say, just bloody do , but i cant. xxx
i did try private message you, and ya all full up,
can i just say in reply to psycho comment, i had hypno for 6 months and it didnt help at all with my agrophobia, and left a big dent in my wallet, but i do have recordsing of all the sessions, but ive giving up, do you think i should listen to them again dialy, could it still work? xx
Thanks for this. I am certainly going to try this next time I have a panic attack.
:yesyes:
i wake with my heart beating quickly but also have a slower, regular beat going on as well and my pulse seems normal. can this be anxiety linked as i often wake and worry about my heart although the gp says i have no problems to be concerned about.
