What could be simple about panic attacks? And, especially, what could be simple about curing panic attacks? People talk about these attacks like they are separate from anxiety. They aren't. But, there is an important difference between anxieties and these attacks. You can cure panic attacks.However, in my opinion you CAN"T cure anxiety, but you can lower it to a point that it is easily tolerable. So, think about this...anxiety is fear. Panic attacks are anxiety run amok. Still fear. I guess you could say that panic attacks are super-fear. Fear gone out of control. For me it went like this. I'd have one of our meetings set up. I don't know why I set up business meetings because, during my period of ongoing attacks, I was terrified of the idea of having a panic attack in the meeting. When I walked into a business meeting I was afraid that an attack was imminent. And, right on schedule, the panic attack would start. I would make all kinds of excuses for why I was sweating profusely but that didn't work to lower my panic attack. I think it maybe made it worse. I knew my business associates thought I was weird or at least behaving oddly, but for some reason I couldn't level with them. I just couldn't explain it. I didn't contribute much to our meetings, since I could barely hang on to the conversation due to insane thoughts racing around in my head. This situation was becoming intolerable. I had been having these attacks and the generally elevated anxieties for 6 years! It was possible it would wreck my life and my business, and for sure my social life. Then, one day, as I was stopped at an intersection it came to me. I wanted to cure panic attacks and while I was thinking about it I became aware of the fact that I had endured hundreds of these attacks and, as far as I could see, I wasn't hurt. I was unharmed physically, at least, and my mental state hadn't gotten worse so I came to the conclusion that these panic attacks weren't all that dangerous, they were just fear gone out of control, and that, if I didn't fear them, that would be the end of them. I didn't realize at the time that I had stumbled onto the key thing that will enable a person to walk away from panic attacks. My big question was how to do that! Believe it or not, I did it by realizing, all at once, that the attacks were not dangerous, that they were capable of ruining my life, and that I was mad. As in angry. I hated the fact that I had six years of my life fouled up by these pernicious attacks. I think there are far better ways to cure panic attacks than to go through all I had to go through, but I made it out. Because of what I had realized now and the anger I felt, I was not afraid of these things anymore. Actually, I was anticipating the next time a panic attack tried to rear it's ugly head because I was going to kick it off. I was going to grab that attack by the throat and throw it out of the car! I never got the chance. It was over. I found out later that the key to curing panic attacks is showing a sufferer how to get to the point of no longer fearing the attacks. It worked for me! You can get your life back! Copyright (c) 2009 Riley West
