Do you fear the arrival of another panic attack?
People who have experienced panic attacks often go around with a grave sense of unease that at any moment, they will experience a major panic attack.
It’s a fear of the ultimate panic attack that would finally push them over the edge.
This leads people to make changes to their behavior in order not to do anything that might trigger a panic episode.
When people feel this way, simple daily tasks can become big challenges. Some people start to fear driving their car in traffic. Others fear leaving their safe zone or simply any situation where they have responsibilities to perform.
This state of apprehension keeps a person’s anxiety level high, leading to feelings of general anxiety.
If you are such a person I hope to put your mind at rest. Panic attacks as well as general anxiety (even when not accompanied by panic disorder) can be eliminated in simple steps regardless of how long the anxiety has been a problem.
I am speaking not just from my own personal experience but from having worked with thousands of people right around the world.
Here is an important observation:
The key difference between someone who is cured of panic attacks and those who are not is really very simple. The one who is cured is not afraid of panic attacks. I’ll try to show you how to one of these people as well.
What if I told you the trick to ending panic attacks is to want to have one!
That sounds strange but let me explain.
A simple trick to ending panic attacks is wanting to have one because the wanting causes an immediate diffusion of the anticipatory fear.
Can you have a panic attack in this very second?
No !
You know the saying “what you resist persists.” Well that saying applies perfectly to fear. If you resist a situation out of fear, the fear around that issue will persist.
How do you stop resisting?
You move directly into the path of the anxiety; by doing so it cannot persist because you process the fear out through your emotions.
In essence what that means is that if you voluntarily seek out a panic attack you won’t have one.
Try in this very moment to have a panic attack and I will bet you cannot… Yes, I know the idea of calling on a panic attack is scary at first but play with the concept and watch what happens.
You may not realize it but you have always decided to panic. You make the choice by thinking
“This is beyond my control.”
“These scary sensations are beyond my bodies control.”
It may help if you imagine that having a panic attack is like standing on a cliff edge.
The anxiety, it seems, is pushing you closer to falling over the edge. Each time you fight back using poor coping strategies the more desperate you feel.
To be rid of the fear you must metaphorically jump. You must jump off the cliff edge and into the anxiety and fear and all the things that you fear most. How do you jump?
You jump by wanting to have a panic attack. You go about your day asking for a panic attack to appear. Your real safety is the fact that a panic attack will never harm you. That is medical fact.
You are safe, -Yes, the sensations are wild and uncomfortable, but no harm will come to you.
Your body is in a heightened state but no harm will come to you.
The jump becomes nothing more than a two inch drop! You are safe.
You always were.
Think of all the panic attacks you have had to date and come out the other end. Was there any lasting physical damage to you, other than the mounting feeling of panic?
Now you are going to approach this problem differently. You actively seek out the attack like an adventure seeker. Take the opposite approach.
YOU bring it on!!!

…learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years
I must tell you that out of all the items you can purchase regarding anxiety related products on the internet, I learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years that I’ve had this condition.
I had been on Xanax and Klonopin for about 10 years, but this December, I decided to withdraw from it thinking I didn’t need the pills anymore according to some of the programs I ordered claiming “miracle cures”. That’s when all my symptoms started again. I felt as if I had wasted the past 20 years trying to get better.That’s when I started searching the web for home based “cures”. I ordered so many programs I started to get confused from too much conflicting advice. Also, I was promised support but I am still waiting replies from some of the more expensive programs!
You are a true gentleman, and I am going to post a very positive feedback on a website you might be familiar about called: Tapir?
Talk to ya, Andy
=================================
…I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS
, I RAN ACROSS YOUR PROGRAM SUNDAY, FEB. 5th. I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING EVERYTHING FROM PANIC SUPPORT CLASSES, MEDICATION, COUNSELING AND THE LIST GOES ON, ALL TO RID MYSELF OF PANIC ATTACKS. SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAID, JUST KEEP TRYING, SO I DID. AFTER 5 YEARS OF OF LIVING MY LIFE WITH THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS I AM EXCITED TO SAY THAT I AM NOW PANIC FREE. AFTER ONE TIME OF APPLYING YOUR ONE MOVE TECHNIQUE, I AM A NEW PERSON.
ONE OF MY MANY FEARS THAT I DEVELOPED WAS DRIVING. AFTER READING YOUR PROGRAM AT 12.30 AT NIGHT I WROTE DOWN SOME QUICK NOTES FROM YOUR “ONE MOVE TECH.” I RAN OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DROVE TOWARD THE DARKEST SCARIEST ROAD WHERE NOBODY WAS NEAR BY.
THIS WOULD DEFINITLY BRING ON AN FULL PANIC ATTACK, WHICH IT DID. WHILE LETTING MYSELF FEEL THE EMOTIONS RUN THROUGH ME, I DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO, I WAS SCARED AS HELL BUT STOOD MY GROUND. I INSTANTLY CALMED AND EVEN TRIED TO BRING THE ATTACK BACK ON, BUT COULD NOT. I LITTERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND SAT IN MY TRUCK AMAZED. AFTER ALL THIS TIME THAT WAS ALL I HAD TO DO. THE COMPLETE OPPOSIT OF EVERYTHING THAT I WAS TOLD. THIS WHOLE WEEK I HAVE DRIVEN WHERE EVER I WANTED,AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR PROGRAM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR RESEARCH, TIME, AND DEDICATION SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE US CAN NOW LIVE A NORMAL AND HAPPY LIFE. JACKSON CA, AARON

…I prayed to God to show me what to do
I experienced my first panic attack in July of this year and ended up going to the hospital by ambulance thinking I was having a stroke or heart attack! I have had a bunch of attacks since then. Monday morning I awoke to an immediate attack and prayed to God to show me what to do. To make a long story short, I was led to your website but was afraid it was like the other ones where they try to sell you their products. However, your introductory information really spoke to me and I decided to take a chance. I read your book and it gave me the tools I was searching for to deal with my attacks.
I could tell immediately that you have suffered from panic attacks yourself because you spoke with authority that can only have come from having dealt with the terrors yourself. I am 42 years of age and have been noticing the psychological effects of perimenopause (one of which is panic attacks in my case). Thanks again!!
Sincerely, Cynthia

I have been suffering from panic attacks for six months. I am 18 years old and I experienced my first panic attack from smoking marijuana for the third time. This must have been the first time i had ever truly gotten high and it was the worst experience of my life. However, now that I look back to my childhood I always had anxiety but not to this extent. My biggest anxiety creater was health related issues which i later came to realize that i was a hypochondriac. My mom has also suffered from panic attacks her whole life so i was also predispositioned to get an anxiety disorder. One of my biggest problems with my anxiety now is Derealization and always feeling like i am in a dream which is the feeling you get when you are high. However, after my first panic attack i felt fine and normal for about a month until I went on a Disney Cruise and saw a movie in a theater and felt trapped.
As I started to fear having more panic attacks, this creepy sensation of derealization came over me and controlled my life. It was also the summer before I was headed off to college four hours away from home. I was constantly nervous to the point I wanted to pull my hair out. I didn’t think I was gonna be able to move to college feeling like this. My doctor prescribed me Zoloft which I was NOT keen on at all. I did not want to go on a pill that would have to make me feel better. I also saw a psychologist all summer which truly did not help. He made it seem like i as crazy and i thought that marijuana had truly ruined my brain and my life. I got into a worry cycle thinking that it wasnt anxiety that it truly was the pot that gave me this dreamy sensation. I was afraid it was psychosis and that i truly would one day go insane. Some days i did not want to get out of bed because I did not want to deal with this dreamy feeling. The zoloft was not doing a thing. I felt worse on it. I upped it from 25 to 50 mg in one month and no difference. I could not even enjoy my first few weeks at college. I was ALWAYS on guard of having another panic attack which in the end led to fear of panic attacks and then lead to a full blown panic attack. I started to become agoraphobic and didnt want to go do normal college activities like go to parties because i would always be thinking how i wanted to go hide in my room because it was easier. I couldnt take it anymore and i called my doctor who then upped my medicine to 100 mg and i was sure it would not work. However, i started to relax and feel calm. i was also meeting with a school psychologist once a week and i was in a group therapy setting for people that struggled with anxiety. I was so worked up over this derealization that i could not even function. My psych kept reassuring me that it truly is a symptom of anxiety and depression and though its disturbing it wont be there forever like i kept assuring myself. He told me i did not permanently damage my brain from smoking pot that one time. All that day did was set off my anxiety and set me at a higher anxiety level. Once three weeks set in on my new dosage of zoloft, i started to feel more and more like my old self from before this summer. I now literally do not even think about it and the feeling dissappears. When I do think about it, it is usually when im in a store, movie theater, or truly anywhere where im outside or in bright lighting, I start to feel the derealization wash over me again. However it is only there because i am thinking about it. I have done tons of research on this awful symptom and people who say you can never get rid of it is false. im proof that you dont have to be stuck like that forever. I dont enjoy being on medicine but with such a transition in my life i wouldnt have been able to go to college and do as well as i did in school if i wasnt on the medicine. plus i am also attending sessions with a psych, group therapy, i own anxiety books i read and fill out on my own, i journal my experiences, and i do relaxation exercies. I am afraid to withdrawl from my medicine but they say that medicine combined with therapy can work.
So I dont agree with people who say the meds are a bad way too go. Sometimes your body needs that extra boost especially depending on what is going on your life. It truly depends on the person and the situation. I just wanted to share my story. I have not had a panic attack in over two months. However, I do still fear that at any time i could have one which causes obviously some underlying anxiety. And that is why the eerie feeling of drealization still sometimes lingers. I am excited to try this program and see how to completely get rid of my fear.
I hope some people can relate to some of what i have said. Everyday I am feeling stronger and feeling like I am getting closer to the finish line of beating this issue. I just want everyone out there to know that anxiety disorders can be very frightening but once you get over that hump, it will make you a stronger person. And I have realized over the past couple of months from my friends who kind of give me a hard time about my anxiety and dont understand what it is that i am going through and think i am faking it are not allowed to say anything about it. Because truly if you have never been through an extreme amount of stress, anxiety, or depression, you have no right to talk. I would truly not wish these feelings on my worst enemy. So I try not to listen to people who joke around like its not a big deal. I just think “you know what if they were walking in my shoes and had to deal with what i do everyday, I don’t think they would be as strong as I would.”

I’ve often had off days where I feel unhappy but during winter 2007/8 I got really bad anxiety problems where I just felt sick and tired all of the time which led to me losing nearly a stone in weight. During spring 2008 it went away on it’s own and my moods have been fairly stable since then. However I woke up yesterday feeling awful, like nothing was real and my legs and arms were wobbly. In the end I was actually sick and have been feeling quite sick ever since. I don’t want it to last like it did that time before and I have a lot of work to do but am struggling to find the energy, I just want to sleep. I also shake quite a bit. I’ve booked a doctors appointment and hoping to learn some technique to make it all go away.
Amy
Laura, I know just what you are talking about. I have struggled with this diease for many years. I was doing really good until September of this year when I was let go from my job. It has been a struggle everyday for me since then. I got a new job in the beginning of October and that is when I found this site and have been using the ideas and techniques from everyone and Barry and I was finally feeling good again and the eposides were few and far between each other. Well this past weekend my boyfriend of 2 years deceided to leave me for his ex-wife. I have been having a really bad weekend and It’s Monday and I am having a really bad day. I’m shaking, tired, have no energy and just want to cry all day. I am taking Barry’s advice and trying the steps again and I instantly start to feel better by trying them and reading about so many other people that struggle with this. I don’t feel so alone anymore and I love that there are so many people who can help on this and that there are so many people out there that I can talk to. If you ever want to talk about anything I am here for you! [email protected]. Anytime.

After reading some of these posts I’m starting to feel a lot better knowing there are other people out there with similar symptoms. I had my first panic attack a few years ago and thought it was just from smoking weed and if i didn’t smoke weed again i wouldn’t have that panic feeling but i was wrong. I started to get them in the past year and they would come out of no where. I would “space out” and feel like i was in a dream and never would get out of it then my heart would race and get slightly light headed. I truly thought i was going insane and my life would never be the same, but know that i know there are others like this in the world it gives me hope for a life free of panic attacks.

Hi all,
Just want to say that I have been experiencing the same symptoms for the past few mths, that many of you have mentioned above. It has totally changed my social life as the only place I feel the most comfortable at, is at home. I too have been to the ER and did a full body checkup, both of which turned out negative (i.e. no sickness diagnose). After reading all your comments, I’m positive now that my symptoms are purely due to a panic attack and it is not a heart attack or stroke. I’ve been experiencing the symptoms on a daily basis now and hopefully after reading this website and newsletters, I’ll be able to manage my attacks and get back to leaving my normal life. Hope this for all of you too as I know how awful panic attacks are.
jane
Hey. I got my panic attacks first in November 14, 2009. I was so terrified that i thought i was dying.
I have visited different hospitals and they have confirmed to me that i am not sick. Pliz try sending me more
materials that will get me out of this pliz. Its hard to experience the attacks now and then.
God bless you so much for your kindness.
kay
hi i have suffered from anxiety attacks for seven years the smothering sensations rapid heart beats ,dizziness just ruin my life i find it hard to leave the house sometimes when the these awful feelings come, there with everyday as soon as i wake up ,reading the other comments i realize iam not the only suffering from horrible condition my heart go out to you all.
jesse
Hey everyone, I started having panic attacks when i was about 14, i just assumed like most people in the begining that i was going insane of course i was wrong. the next 14 years have mostly been a battle through doctors institutions and medications that sometimes had short term benifits but ultimately did me more harm than good. I was completely agorophobic for more than 2 years stuck in a one bedroom appartment on welfare with only my cat for company i grew worse and worse. I have tried many many things over the years like i said and just reading this website and the single email i have recieved have made a substantial difference litteraly over night. thank you sir for thinking outside the box.
Vass
I’ve noticed that if I’m not ‘regular’ as in using the restroom, that it can have some anxiety related sensations. I’ve decided to drink prune juice and eat more fiber plus drink 8 glasses of water like I read on this site. If I had the money or when I do get the money, I’ll order the program, which will help me so much, but for now I’m finding that the emails are helping too. I come from an alcoholic home so I have the past to deal with. So, I know that dealing with some issues there and getting over it will help a lot. Im wishing everyone a great recovery. Last night i felt anxious and stuff but i started to think of how to not be afraid of one coming on and it helped, so i went back to bed. Thank you all for sharing.

If you have not purchased the Panic Away program, you need to immediately. I experienced my first panic attack in July 2009 and did not know it was a panic attack. It wasn’t until the third epsiode i realised what was happening and then it started to happen on a daily basis. I was on Xanax for about 6 weeks when I found the Panic Away program online. It took me about one month to finally withdraw from the Xanax completely. I had a panic attack recently and wanted to take a Xanax because I had an appointment and did not have the time to be delayed. However, I stopped and listened to the MP3 audio for the one move technique and it stopped the panic attack in its track. It was amazing and it took only five minutes to dissolve it. When I can’t stop the attacks on my own I listen to the audio and it really works. Also, I have been working on rebuilding myself and developing my spirituality and I believe it is my strong faith and hope that has also helped in my recovery. Thank you Barry and May God bless you for your commitment to helping people recover from anxiety.

This particular section made me cry. I actually believe this will work and just maybe I’ll be able to be normal again. Seriously, I’m glad you wrote this. I don’t think anyone could have put it better.

Bless All of You….
I too have the PA’s….I felt alone in this fear…embarrassed when the fire dept came…..and terrified to go to bed….My first attack happened 18 months ago…I was spending the last night in my house with my just divorced (we filed that week) ex-husband. I woke up and knew I was dying….I couldn’t wake my husband because he was no longer my husband and called 911 and the fire dept came….the ambulance took me to the hospital and I lived….It lasted 2 hours….the next time two months later I was living in a tiny apartment alone…and thought I was dying again…..
I have had 20 attacks since then…some nights I don’t some I do….I. like others stay up all night in fear….Yesterday it happened during the day….I thought I was having a stroke at 33!! The fire dept came again and did blood sugar, EKG, and blood pressure tests..all fine….I had enough! I was making an appointment at the clinic for help and medication when the attack happened….I couldn’t talk on the phone to make the appt and that’s when I called 911.
After it was over I prayed for help….I found your site almost immediately and downloaded the lessons…..Last night I had a wild attack again…2 and one day!!! So I did your exercise I felt I was being hit by a Tsunami and instead of fighting it I rode it for 3 hours!! Honest!
Your no nonsense approach really works…We are grateful to you….I am in tears reading the real true stories of these people here…I pray to God everyone of you is helped…Barry you should have a support group site so we can interact with each other…..Making a bond with others makes us stronger….
God Bless All

i;m so relieved that i found this website. i still need to learn more about how to control my panic attacks because sometimes i have this feeling that my body is being paralyzed when my panic attacks tend to occur. When this happens, i became so terrified that i don’t know whether my panic attacks are triggered psychologically or physically. I need more info about my situation. Thank you very much.

thank you guys so much for your courage, it’s really inspiring to hear of peoples recoveries and the courage you all have to battle everyday with this. I only recently started having panic attacks (2 months) and before that I was the sort of person who wasn’t afraid of anything. I honestly thought I must have a brain tumor or something because I had extreme headaches, insomnia, and extreme anxiety which lead to the panic attacks. I never though in a million years that I would be the sort of person to get an anxiety disorder, but the thing is is that there isn’t a sort of person, it could happen to anyone. We’re not alone and there’s nothing wrong with us, it’s just something we have to get through. In a way I’m grateful because I never truely understood the pain that others suffer in this life, and now I’m much more compassionate and want to help others. I believe this will make me and all of you stronger in the end. My doctor recommended a book which he said helped his anxiety and insomnia (I thought it was cool that he shared his experience, he’s an MD) it’s called “Where ever you go, there you are” and it’s really cheap on amazon. I recommend it as well, it’s all about mindful meditation which might sound strange but really it’s about being able to control your thoughts and your fears, really empowering. God bless you all and thank you 🙂

About two months ago I suddenly felt dizzy while I was at a movie. I tried to tough it out, but was feeling so bad that I had to ask my friend to leave the movie early with me. From that night on I would get symptoms of feeling dizzy off and on, and was feeling sick overall. I went to four different doctors. They all told me that I had a sinus infection and that was causing the dizzzyness…I was still convinced that I had a brain tumor or something serious like that. Every time I would feel the slightest feeling of being dizzy, I would freak out. I am normally a very active student, and have turned into a hermit. I am fortunate that it hasnt affected my sleeping patterns, but I find it very difficult to go to class. When I am in class or church, it gives me time to concentrate on every little twitch and dizzyness that my body is doing. I am most comfortable when I am at home in my bed. I just discovered this website tonight and have already found it very comforting that I am not the only one. Thinking about ordering the book…. Good luck to all of you, I know first hand how frusterating this illness is.

I had my first panic attack about.. 3 months ago. I felt as if I was about to die. My stomach hurt, sound/noise seemed distant, chest was hurting, I was getting dizzy, and I felt as if I couldn’t breathe. I kept telling myself “No, this can’t be happening. Not now. I don’t want to go.” And I began to whine to myself. I wanted to cry. I was freaking out so much, that i started breathing really fast. I passed out numerous times in a row– I hyperventilated. My mum called 911 and they said I was perfectly fine. About a month or so later, I had another one. I was scared to death and I still didn’t understand what was happening. I thought I wasn’t getting enough air. I thought I was going to die. My mum called 911 again, and they said I was fine.
My mum finally came to the conclusion that it was panic attacks. Panic attacks run in my family. Both my sister and my mum have them. Ever since I found out what it was, I started getting them more often because, I was so scared to have one. And I still have them to this day.
I thought that my life was ruined.. I thought that I would never live a normal life again. But, thanks to your words.. I have faith. I am willing to do this program. Just by reading it, I feel better. I know one day, I will be healed.
Thank you so much!
Al
I have experienced my panic last week, it was a feeling so bad that I through up a few times. Feeling of death accompanied by hopelessness. Tried to think my way through it but it didn’t work. I don’t know how much longer I can deal with this. Medication is a godsend for relief buy I’m committed to do whatever has to be done to eliminate this from my life.
Ashley
I got my first panic attack when I was about 15 years old. I had a boyfriend who had breathing problems and he was in his Doctors appointment and I was thinking about what it would be like to not be able to breath.. so tried holding my breath and was thinking about how he passes out etc… at that point in time I started to feel dizzy and like I couldn’t breath, also that I was going to pass out.. I literally ran in the back of the Doctors office asking every nurse I saw for Oxygen.. ( sounds funny now but it wasn’t at the time ) and they said they didn’t have any in their office but I would have to go over to the ER.. they did take my oxygen though by putting that little thing on my finger to take my Oxygen level and it was 98.. I then went to the ER and they told me that it was a panic attack. After that it went away for awhile & then came back to where I did NOT like big open spaces.. like you will never catch me inside Walmart because I start to think of what if this happened or what if that happened… no way! I am now 22 and I was doing good for awhile & now I’m at the point of where I am scared to leave my house. I live in a 3 story apartment building and I always fear of falling down the stairs that lead up to my apartment… I notice when I first wake up though that if I’m not thinking about it that I can go down to the bottom of the stairs and back up. I know its just mind over matter I just gotta bring myself there. I am thinking about buying this book because I honestly need to figure something out. Another reason I think I developed this Anxiety is because when I was younger I was ALWAYS sick and I’m thinking thats why i always think everything is wrong with me! I will def let you all know if this book helps me bc there are not words I could express on how much it would mean to me if I was able to over come this with the help of this book instead of meds n stuff..
thanks!-ashley

omg. these newsletters are great. i’m actually surprised that you can put together somehthing so logical and easy to understand. it’s kinda mesmorizing. i’m so giddy with glee.. lol. i consider myself very analytical, overattentive, an overthinker, etc. so that’s probably why i have panic and anixety attacks now. they started on valetines day this year and i had ones that felt like they last for at least 2 hours and i was just trying to calm myself down, i felt nauseated, barely sweating, dry mouth, heart racing, restless, and shakey. probably more internal problems too. i was hosptialized on the 17th and i just got out yesterday being the 26th. my appetite was gone and i felt like i could hardly use the bathroom. everything just felt off. i’m about to research my meds to see what effect they will have on me but so far so good. i think i’m really having them cause i’m 23, anxious to get my life together the way i want, tired of what people think about me, and being let down all the time, and also i’m so very very anxious to be with the girl of dreams. i want to be with her and start a life. being that i’m in new york and she’s in colorado, that’s kinda difficult not to mention, i have to get myself together first. so that’s me. please feel free to reply and give me any advice. i love intriguing conversation.

I am so happy i found this program also, one day i was sitting at work surfing the net and i was like there has to be something else out there to help, i dont want to live like this for the rest of my life, there is no reason to. Ive had on and off panic and anxiety since 2003 and I am 24 yrs old and i am determined to not only rid them completely but be happier then i was before i ever even had them. I asked god for help and this is the first site he took me to and i already have been noticing a difference and i just started reading the book. God Bless all of you and good luck to your recovery. Tell that panic and fear to BRING IT!! thats what i have been doing, and it feels very good.

Just stumbled upon this site tonight. I always look for anything to help with my anxiety, but when i find someone talking about it especially the tightening of the throat where you struggle to breath *or so you think you do* I start to panic. I know its in my head, but that doesn’t stop that horrible feeling of suffocation to pop in your head. Its a loophole. Just thinking about it, brings the anxiety and panic back. I have a fear of death, its called Thanatophobia, as well as suffered my first anxiety attack, in august. It was horrible, As you all know ((rather have the fear of death before i go to bed, then this anxiety and panic feeling i have constantly)) Now, Im having them in my home, the only place i feel comfortable at. After reading that if you invite one, you cant have one. I tried, and I couldn’t have one. At this moment I am absolutely calm, and feel that I will get over this. I have many fears, I dont drive *fear since i was 14* and now when I walk to work, I have to go over an overpass. As I reached the top, i started panicking and kept telling myself *keep breathing Ashley, just breath!* I felt like I was high, like I didn’t have control of my body. Once I got over the pass, I started crying. I know i am going on and on, but i know how it feels. I have been dreading walking to work tomorrow, but im going to do it, with the thought in mind, to come at me panic attack, and see what happens. First time I have felt positive about my situation. Good luck all!

I am just 21 years old 🙁 and i started experiencing panic attacks since 3 months. I used to be absent on my exams so my professor asked me to visit a psychiatrist as a condition to do a makeup for the exams. I hate going to a psychiatrist 🙁 I don’t think they will help, i will manage to relax with time.
By the way thx for the course I loved this statement: “Your real safety is the fact that a panic attack will never harm you. That is medical fact.” It made me feel better 🙂

I’m 21 and have had panic attacks and anxiety for almost 2 years now. At first had many a day feeling I was going to die.
Docs said I was stressed and put me on beta blockers. Been to A&E once to be told I would be fine when I tried to come off them. Im still on them although
I have cut my dose drastically but I’m not cured. For the past 2 days its been bad. Seems worse around that time of month for some reason.
I read your page there and I feel like I can sleep tonight 🙂 its been a huge help. I really wanna beat this and get on with my life.

I am 34yrs old and my first panic attack was over 11yrs ago. I too thought I was having a heart attack and my parents called an ambulance and was taken to emergency. Whilst waiting to see a doctor, they told me I was dehydrated, they gave me fluids and said I suffered a panic attack. From that day, I suffered with anxiety and panic attacks off and on depending on a situation. I thought it was because I was planning on getting married and change of life style was making these horrible feelings come on.
The GP said to see a phycologist/psychiatrist and I did, I had taken Zoloft at one stage and Aropax.
I got married, it was the best day of my life and so I thought that the anxiety and panic attacks were going to go away but they didn’t. Guilt is a feeling I get when I panic because I feel bad for my husband and family as I don’t want them seeing me like this any more. My symptoms are butterflies in the tummy, loss of appetite, vomiting, getting the runs, shaking, less sleep, fear (especially in the mornings), getting depressed and feeling like what is the purpose of living like this, it’s not fair I just want to be happy and normal.
I am currently taking Xanax 0.5mg 1/2 a day but I recently saw another GP and he told me I should not be taking these every day as you get addicted to them and your body gets used to them and they won’t help you, you only take them as required. I was a bit angry because the GP I normally see said I can take these every day but try and ween off and do your relaxation but this is hard.
I have two beautiful children, a boy and girl (3 1/2 and 5mths) a beautiful husband and support from the rest of my family and friends. I would like to try your program as I don’t want my family worrying about me any more especially I have to do this for myself.
Thank you kindly, God bless.

Hi Janie, I am 48 years old and I hope you get back on and read this. I have had anxiety/panic attacks for years. I will say that for you to take zoloft and what I have read the others are taking will seriously mess you up in the long run with many different various side effects. I personally have never took any of these prescribed medications that so many have. Many members of my family have been stricken with this and I see the horrific results of taking the different medications. I have researched on the internet for help and this has been so far the very best that has helped me. I was e-mailed Part 1 and never got around to taking time to open it up and read it. As I was reading it the panic and anxiety came all over me. I did as he said and I have been at the computer for about an hour now and am free from it. I will continue with this. This for me is a life saver.

Hi there
i have just stumbled onto your site i am 42 years old and had my first panic attack 10 years ago when i was pregant with my daughter and around the same time my dad was diagnosed with cancer. at the time i did not relise what was happing when driving the car i felt i could not breath and ended up in hospital. but i coped and the panic attacks stopped then last year they returned and now i feel they are taking over my life i have been to the doctors on numerus occasions but feel i am getting brushed aside they give you tablets but this is not really the answer . like most panic attack suffers you feel embarressed and isolated as unless you have expericened an attack you really dont understand what that person is really feeling. when reading your article it all makes sense you are afraid of having an attack so you bring it on with the fear you are going to have one

It’s worth a shot… I’ve had anxiety for 6 yrs. It started when I go prego with my second child. Got bad after he was born the docs said it was hormones and it would fix it’s self.. 3 weeks later I’m being rushed to the hospital by amublance gasping for air and horrible chest pains.. After that I had to see a heart doc who said I had aniexty problems and gave me lexapro…. That was the solution every doc saw gave me mess of told me that it developed when i got prego so it may go away if I had another child… I had my son in 06…. Been on meds off and on and I hate them…I quit taking them completely a yr ago…. I don’t drive, leave the house, go shopping, restuaunts, movies, ect…, lost all my friends and I just had my 3rd and finally child 3 weeks ago and it’s getting worst … I’m tired of being scared to be alone…, I feel gulity that I can’t just get in the car and take my kids to the park…my kids have missed school bc I can’t drive them sometimes…. It makes me feel like a bad mother….. My life has been taken away…. My family doesn’t want to understand what I go through… If someone else tells me to just breathe and get over it I might just snap….. It’s been a long hard road…. I’m only 26 with 3 wonderful kids. And a great life and I’m ready to take it back and live it…. So j really hope this works… Can’t afford the book yet but the newslettler is very helpful it’s great to know I’m not alone…,

I began experiencing anxiety attacks a few months ago. I was laid off from work in Dec 2009, right before XMas. I have a wife and 3 young girls (11, 9 and 7). I had always been the nervous type at doctors, dentists, etc. I found a job 150 miles from my home a month after I had been laid off. Once I started work again, I noticed I was having headaches, backaches, etc. I just didnt feel right. I went to the ER (I was too far from my PCP so I didnt know where else to go), and they checked me out for my back pain (kidney tests, blood work, and a CT-scan). It all came back fine, and they gave me some pain meds for my back. The next night I was driving home from work and I thought I was having a heart attack, cold sweats, dizzy, panic, heart racing. I called my wife, luckily she answered and she calmed me down. A couple days later I was diagnosed with Shingles, and I took an anti-viral for 10 days, and it slowly went away. But, at work a week or so later I had another panic attack, sweating, dizzy, nervous, racing heart. I went to the ER, my blood pressure was 200/120. They gave me 4mg of xanax to calm me down and took blood again, checked my heart and kidney functions. They suggested I have my BP looked into, and my anxiety treated. I was prescribed Lexapro 10mg, and Zestril for my bp. I feel much better (its a few weeks later) and it was hard to fight thru the side effects of Lexapro, but I did, and it seems to be working. There is an underlying fear of panic attacks that I still have, but I seem to fight them off easier now. It’s a daily battle, and I need to get better for my wife and kids, they need me. I hope that reading these lessons here will also help.
Good Luck to all and take care.

hi
ive been experiencing panic attack for a month or so. i think it started when i picked up my mom to the airport. supposed to be they will arrive like 430am and the flight was delayed. i didnt sleep that night because if i sleep im afraid im not gonna pick her.. when im already at the airport i waited there for like two hours.. im so sleepy i really wanted to go home.. after awhile i feel dizzy, the first thing i thought is that my blood pressure is getting higher, i almost fainted. then after 10mins my mom got out. i told my mom that im so freaking out. i wasnt able to drive beacause im so scared that any time i thought i was going to die and that it was a heart attack. Im a basketball player. i love playing basketball. but now im scared to play im afraid at any moment it will attack again. im kinda satisfied when i saw this site. i want to get my life back and be normal again. i wanna do all the things that ive been doing before.. thanks for this site i just found it now.. hope we all get well soon.. any replies will surely appreciated..
MUCH LOVE! GODSPEED!

I have went through these panic attacks, for 5 years. It all started when I was 7. It was the worst feeling I ever felt. Since then, I’ve never tried to cure it, Until a year ago, I was told they were panic attacks, and they wouldn’t hurt me. I’ve searched high and low though google and yahoo, coming to find this…. I haven’t fully “recovered” from this small fights, but I’m sure I will soon….
