Thank you, Dr. Barry, for outstanding insight into panic attacks. My brother suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for years. He felt as though he were having a heart attack. On one occasion, paramedics were called and took him out of a heavy traffic jam to the ER–tough stuff. He’s since learned that he won’t die during these events. Moreover, the frequency of attacks has diminished significantly. I’m assuming a connection between his understanding that they won’t kill him and their tapering off. Thank you! Wayne.

I forget that everyone suffers from this condition. What is hard is trying to pinpoint when I went wrong with my emotional mind. I know that everything seems out of sorts when I have a number of stressors. What can be done about unemployment these days. That seems to be a big one. To me the problem is remaining in a rational mind set when under new employment or under stress to preform. In those situations I find that people that I work with can sense the lack of concentration.

I have suffered from anxiety for years and when I get an adrenaline rush I always remind myself it’s just my bodies adrenaline and it will not hurt me ever. Once you understand what is happening inside your body then you can learn to accept it and let go of the fear.
