Now when I do tell you how to cure yourself, you will say that is too easy, this will not work, but in your heart you will understand that this is your only way out of your fear. The cure is 'simple' but not easy.
So lets start with the facts of fear which have kept your life in this hell for so long. When you have felt a panic attack coming, you have either exhausted yourself from constantly fighting the feeling of fear. And lets understand this simple truth that fear is nothing but a physical feeling a sensation in your body that scares you these sensations are produced by adrenaline, plain and simple.
So in reality you are fighting you, you are fighting yourself, fear does not live in your thoughts, a thought may start of a panic but it is the feeling that terrifies you. Fighting adrenaline only produces even more adrenaline and so the attack lasts even longer....even though an attack lasts at most less than sixty seconds...then the rest of the time we live in dread of having another attack.
It was the unreal feeling in the middle of an attack that scared me to death...I felt that I was the only person that existed, I felt so alone during an attack it increased the fear even more. Alot of people who suffer with severe panic also have exhaustion as a daily companion...this exhaustion is a killer it robs you of enjoyment in life...enjoyment of the little things that pick your spirit up and keep you going.
Opposite to those who run from the sensation of panic caused by the release of adrenaline are they who run from the attack...they will dive into a shop to pretend to buy something...they will do anything to distract themselves from the attack which is happening, but no matter how hard they try to distract themselves fear always finds a way through to them and causes them to be afraid.
Running from panic attacks only serves to reinforce their power over us...they box us into our hell of fear even deeper...and the longer the attacks last the worse we feel about our self.
And that is a huge problem when it comes to panic anxiety attacks is we start to count the weeks months and years. We look back with longing at the person we used to be before this terrible thing happened to us. We ask what is this thing and why cant the doctor cure me...as time goes on we feel even more hopeless. We feel let down my the medical profession, they do not understand the sheer misery we are feeling every day. The medication we need to help us is demonised so they wont prescribe them to us.
So what are we to do, how do we cure ourselves, even though the medical profession view it as such a minor issue that they feel you are wasting their time with your silly feelings. We turn to the Internet in the hope of an answer, we buy books that promise the answer but once again we are let down...my God the hopelessness gets even worse if that be possible..
All I found from my searching on the Internet was scam artists promising they had the cure for my panic anxiety attacks and believe I was tortured by fear from the moment I woke until I went back to sleep again and then in my sleep I was nightmares would scare me to death, my eyes would open but I could not move, there was no escape even in my sleep. My constant suffering led me to Valium and sleeping tablet addiction and yet fear always found their way through the tablets to scare me. Addiction can easily happen especially after years of agoraphobia and derealisation DR, I had given up hope.
