Cure Panic Attacks

If you have ever had a panic attack than you won't need to read the next couple of sentences. If you haven't but know a loved one or a friend, here is what they are going through. Read the whole article to find how to cure panic attacks.

Usually something triggers it. You feel a strange feeling but you can't figure out exactly what it is. You just feel out of sorts, or out of place. You may now start feeling dizzy or nauseous. You begin to do a self-check of your body, how is my breathing, how fast is my heart beating, how sweaty are my palms. Now you are really beginning to feel anxious. Why am I dizzy? Why is my heart beating so fast? Why are my palms so sweaty and why is it so hot in here?

All I want to do is for this NOT TO HAPPEN! I want to get away or get to someone I know that will help me. I don't know if I will make it. My breathing is fast and my heart is beating so fast I feel I may faint any second now.

Now the very worst part. You feeling impending doom. Now I KNOW I WON'T MAKE IT!!! Now all of your symptoms are really kicking into gear. You are breathing faster, your heart is racing faster, you are dizzier and you're sweating like you just did cardio for 2 hours, and you haven't moved an inch. I am going to die.

That is what a panic attack feels like to the person having it. It is one of the worst feelings you will ever have in this world. The sad part is that it can become a part of your life so badly that you are having them everyday. It will completely change your life and you will feel the fear of the next one more so than the actual fear of the panic attack. The fear of the fear is what paralyzes you.

This is what happens to millions of people suffering from panic/anxiety attacks everyday. Some people have them multiple times a day and some have them just every once in a while, but won't do anything that might trigger them again. So they live a sheltered life instead.

The normal process is that you usually end up in an emergency room and they run a few tests and then send you home telling you you just had a panic attack to see your doctor about getting some medication. This is what happens 80% of the time. But seeing your family doctor is really not the answer for most people.

You will be better served to see a psychologist who has specialized in Panic/Anxiety Disorders so he can treat not only the symptoms but more importantly the cause. You will probably have to see a psychiatrist to get medication to help you get past this bad stage.

But does that really work? Does the medication really help you? Under most cases the medication just numbs you. Not just your fears but other parts of your life. When you are hurting you are grateful for the medication, but after months or years later you wonder is this really the answer? Is this going to be as good as it gets?

The answer to that is NO. You must decide that you are going to make an effort to defeat the fear cycle and get back to your normal life. The panic attacks didn't come out of nowhere, you where ignoring your body's symptoms so your body amped up the voltage. You must now take back control and listen to your body but ignore the incorrect messages it is sending to your mind.

To finally cure panic attacks you must understand your bodies sensations and realize that they can't hurt you. No one ever dies from a panic attack, not even when they want to. I know that sounds mean but I've had panic attacks where I wish that I would fall down and die, but it never happens. You must realize and believe and know this, and then they will go away.

Its actually the fear of having a panic attack that causes the fear after having a couple of panic attacks. I know that sounds a bit silly, but it is the fear of the fear that scares you. You must break the cycle of fear to be rid of panic attacks. Once you break the cycle you won't ever have one again.

If you are like me and have had panic attacks for years it becomes hard to believe that there is a cure. But I have met people who have been cured and they are extremely happy, healthy, and living life to the fullest. Overcoming this skepticism is really difficult. One starts to believe that it works for everyone else but that is won't work for me. It takes will power and you have plenty of it in you. Look at all you have been through, and you are still kicking and fighting just to live your life. An average person would have given up by now, but you are a fighter. Use the knowledge of the weakness of the actual panic attack and you will destroy it.

The great thing is that today there is a lot of knowledge on how to deal with and cure panic attacks. When I had my first panic attack back in 1994 I had never heard of it and neither had any of my family or friends. Now it is all over the media and on television shows and in movies. Breakthrough techniques have been discovered and tested and re-tested and are now available to you to end the suffering forever.
