    Re: When the panic attack is triggered, what is the over-riding fear?

    The triggers and the pre-thoughts work together. We already have the thoughts stored away in our minds and it then does not take much to trigger them off. I remember years ago even before I had a panic attack thinking "I am going to have a shit time at this party" and yes I had a shit time. I went into it with negative thoughts. My trigger/pre-thought was already there!!!

    I still have the odd time of agoraphobia even though I do get out and about. I go to Edinburgh and back on a regular basis via train(its all of 50miles and takes less than an hour)..Most of the time I am fine but I can notice the trigger coming, the what if thoughts creeping in.
    Its at this point we have to make a choice
    A. Feed the thoughts
    B. Change how we think

    Many have the problem with being too far away from help which in a sense is related to a fear of dying or something bad happening to them. Yet if you decided to go somewhere tomorrow and then put it off because of your fear and sat in the house. You will then see that nothing did happen and thats not because you sat in the house but because nothing was going to happen in the first place.

    It is only by preparing ourselves for the task at hand and remembering that we will be okay, then we will be able to move forward.

    what do others think about that?
