Nowadays, a lot of people are suffering from panic attacks. This is due to the increasing stimulus found almost everywhere at every time. However, I recently found out that there is a new solution to this predicament. One man, by the name of Barry McDonagh, discovered a natural technique to help stop panic attacks and general anxiety fast. He called the method Panic Away and to date it has helped over 150,000 people in 32 countries.
The method was developed by Barry McDonagh himself. He used to suffer from frequent panic attacks and GAD or the General Anxiety Disorder. According to him, some would not think that it is even possible to have a natural way of relief from panic attack. But amazingly, Barry developed a simple technique based on advanced psychology. He is happy to share his developments with those who, like him, are suffering from panic attacks.
The fact is, while I was on anxiety medication, I never felt completely right. There was a lingering feeling of discomfort that I knew was the anxiety just waiting to burst forth.For the next few weeks, I had to figure out how to get on without the drugs, and I did. By changing my attitude, I was able to stop anxiety quickly and completely.You can do it too. The trick is to make the transition from being fearful to being in control.It's hard to explain how I did it. One day, I discovered that I could stop anxiety quickly by switching my mindset. In a sense, I got angry at the anxiety attacks that had ruined my life for so many years.
For example, at the very 'whiff' of danger to the body, chemical reactions were triggered in the brain that produced split-second physical and emotional responses in the body. These gave the person under threat the greatly enhanced capacity to fight an enemy or wild animal, or, to run away to safety. This is why we call this the body's 'fight or flight' response.
But how does all that relate to today, I hear you ask? Well, although the chances are that you aren't going to be confronted by a pack of wild animals or a neighbouring tribe, looking to tear you limb from limb (lol), all your body needs to be faced with is the 'perception' that you are in danger. You see, the human body really is marvelous; it doesn't take any chances with your life. If there is even a sense of danger, it doesn't wait around to check and confirm it, it takes no chances and just triggers its fight or flight response!
You can from one minute being the centre to attention to next dreading the thought of anyone talking to you. Social Anxiety can affect you at anytime of your life. Most who have suffered from it were once confident sociable people to avoiding any social occasion. If you can't understand why you can't handle talking to people when you could once talk to anyone, don't worry. Social Anxiety affects millions of people. The most important thing you can do is learn to overcome it, accept that this is just a small moment in your life and you have a future of happiness ahead of you.
Now, in your vulnerable state, all it takes is for your stress / anxiety to rise even more, due to a stressful event or situation, such as sitting (or studying for) an exam, being stuck in traffic, shopping in a very crowded supermarket, etc. The outcome is that your overall anxiety levels are increased dramatically enough to 'fool' your mind into believing that you're under threat, and so the fight or flight response is triggered.
The changes that that causes all over your body (e.g. blood pressure, heart rate, muscle enhancement, vision enhancement, etc.) leads to you experiencing some or all of the following symptoms; racing heart, tightness across your chest, nausea, tingling feeling in your extremities, dizziness / wooziness, irregular breathing, a feeling of not being connected to reality / being detached, a feeling that you are about to die even, etc. You are having a horrifying anxiety attack!
By taking this attitude for a period of time, you will see anxiety attacks come and go and they will start to mean much less to you. So, during those times between anxiety attacks simply accept the fact you suffer from anxiety attack syndrome and be assured it is a temporary stage of your life. In no way dread any further anxiety attacks. The reason for this is simple; it is because it is this very dread of the anxiety attacks the anxiety itself feeds upon.
So, rather than working on your general anxiety first (with your fear of anxiety attacks always in the background), you need to get rid of your fear and so break out of this vicious cycle of; anxiety,anxiety attack,fear,more anxiety,another anxiety attack,more fear,etc. Then, once having banished your fear of attacks, which will help prevent further attacks, you can then work on effectively eliminating your general anxiety.And, the first stage in this process, is to realize that your anxiety attacks can't harm you. As you now know, they are just the symptoms of a perceived threat that doesn't even exist. The next step is to learn and utilize a technique to help you eliminate your fear of anxiety attacks.
