Helpless No More

It has been described as walls closing in on you, a weight on your chest, a feeling like your heart is going to beat right out of your body, like a hammer on an anvil getting hit harder and harder, it's a feeling that makes you want to scream, cry and yell, mixing up your emotions with physical symptoms akin to a heart attack. Few can understand how much this can weaken what appears to be otherwise strong and healthy people. Our nightmares have caused us to go looking for information about our condition and how to treat it. Due to our technological revolution, the internet has become a treasure trove of information, both helpful and completely off base. In our search for answers, we have found ways to cope with anxiety. What we may not have read was a jewel among the treasure. There's a site called panic away reviews, dedicated to people just like us who are suffering the same thing. In reading what other people have gone through, and how they have dealt with their anxiety, not only do you not have to feel alone in this, but you can learn the same thing everyone else has. You don't have to live this way anymore. For those not familiar with this, it is a system developed by a fellow sufferer named Barry MacDonagh.Unlike more traditional methods which deal with with the symptoms following an attack, including taking anxiety medications that might be habit forming, his program solves the issue itself. There is no other method out there that claims to do the same. Why treat only the symptoms? Would you rip off a bandage and scrub away the healing skin to make yourself bleed all over again, just to re-bandage it at night? It seems a rather fruitless endeavor. Why then have we subjected ourselves to things that are only trying to help us deal with having the attacks after one has occurred? We have no reason to rely on a crutch, except that having the attacks makes us feel completely vulnerable. Anxiety does not discriminate among social classes, and even the strongest of us are hobbled in it's wake. Because our minds are so complex, we are able to take an emotional moment in our lives and retain it even more perfectly than a photo, like an endless video loop in our minds. We might be strong enough to push it to the backs of our brain, so that we're not actively giving it the light it needs to thrive and disable us, but it doesn't make the event go away. It doesn't change how we felt when it happened, or how we still feel that it has. That emotional trigger, whatever it is, is strong enough to activate even if you have pushed it far back into your mental storage, hoping you've forgotten all about it. Just as our body ejects food that has gone bad, that we've eaten unaware, it tries to do the same with our mental detritus. The trouble is, it cannot forcefuly eject the poisonous thoughts that we have asked it to store away or the emotions we link to it. The result is our bodies going through something both painful and embarrassing, as our minds attempt to push out the debris. Fixing it involves changing how we perceive the event, the trigger, forever. Find out how you can change how you look at that trigger, and end the anxiety altogether. There is a font of information here; Panic Help Zone. Best to you and your endeavor to beat down this disorder.
