Panic attacks and how they start

Posted by: Paulineh in panic attack, tags: ,

Listen to the video below as it explains how I felt about eating in restaurants. Eating in restaurants always made me anxious and this is where my panic attacks started. When I looked at this video I identified immediately with how I felt when I first suffered from panic attacks.

It talks about learned experiences and how that affects us.  I suppose its similar to how we form other habits by reinforcing them.  What it didn’t talk about though was what I call ‘the wave’ which comes with panic attacks. I used to dread ‘the wave’  but now when I feel some tingling in my fingers or scalp I can stop ‘the wave’ from coming on and taking me into a full blown panic attack.  I realize then that my anxiety is high and I work at getting it down.

Video withdrawn temporarily – Sorry if you particularly wanted to see it right now

It’s not easy to overcome panic attacks but it can be done and I have done it myself. Don’t be fooled though into thinking its easy or that you can read a book or watch some videos and it will all go away. That doesn’t happen. It takes time and you must apply what you learn.

I recommend PANIC AWAY for help with overcoming panic.  Just read their testimonials to see the relief they have given to so many people.

    I think the video is very interesting and I see some of myself from years ago in this post.

    My attacks were largely triggered by acidity. Once I started taking prescription tablets, the acidity was fixed and the panic attacks have mostly gone away. I keep Mylanta tablets at hand, just in case.
