How To Overcome Panic Attacks

If you have anxiety, panic attacks, or a phobia of any kind, then the list below is probably all too familiar to you…

• Feeling constantly on edge, like your anxiety is stalking you and could pounce at any time.
• Scary, anxious thoughts running through your head that you just can’t seem to slow down or stop.
• Feeling like you’re about to lose control and do something dangerous or embarrassing, wondering if the next time you’ll be strong enough to keep it contained.
• Getting light headed or dizzy and feeling like you’re going to pass out or faint.
• Feeling disconnected from reality and spacey, almost like you’re in a dream.
• Feeling trapped in situations you can’t ‘escape’ from…things like driving, restaurants, social functions, or even standing in line at the store!
• Worrying you’ll stop breathing because your chest and throat feel so tight and you can’t seem to slow your breathing.
• Feeling depressed about how small your world has gotten.
• Going to the hospital or doctor fearing a heart condition or other emergency to have them find nothing physically wrong with you.

 The one thing you have to keep in mind when you're dealing with panic attacks is this.

You can overcome them.

They aren't permanent.

 You need to ask yourself what would your life be like if you didn't have the panic attacks.

Here is just a small list of what it could be like in just a few minutes from now:

• What would you do if you KNEW you could handle it? What would you attempt if you had nothing to fear?
• How would it be to stop the scary, anxious, thoughts that run through your head all day and finally quieting your mind?
• What if you didn’t care how far you were from home or your "safe place"?
• It’s a world of difference socializing with people and never wondering if you might have to make up an excuse to leave unexpectedly because of your anxiety.
• What if travel wasn’t so hard? If you could drive or fly wherever you wanted to, where would you go?
• What relationships would you start or improve?
• No more feelings of unreality or depersonalization…living in the NOW is really what life should be about.
• Could you finally pursue your dream job?
• Would you wake up in the morning looking forward to what the day holds instead of apprehension or fear?
• What kind of role model would your children have?
• No more waking up with anxiety and finally getting some rest.
• No more medications for anxiety with harmful or bothersome side effects.
