Re: Live Anxiety Free |
| Body: |
I was totally agoraphobic for over 17 years and I survived
and I am now panic and anxiety free with the use of Ativan.
No one will ever be cured from panic and anxiety attacks,
unless they frist know what is causing them...
It is easy for people to write self help books about the subject
but unless they have lived the life, they have no indea what
they are talking about.
I have no book... nothing to sell, just stating my opinion
because I know what it is like to live the life and overcome
it to recover.
Take my advice don't get hooked into believing there is
some kind of magic pill, words or snake oil. One size does
not fit all.
I recovered with both the help of medication and a doctor
to talk with about my feelings and fears. I had to do a lot
of un-doing what I had believed before I started to get well
and believe me it is a on going thing you have to pratice daily
for the rest of your life.
1. If you are out... stay out! Don't give up your freedom,
do what ever you have to do to not become agoraphibic
because of your panic and anxiety.
2. You will never have a panic attack again like the first big
on that got you in the first place... from then on they are part
panic and part memory.
3. There is no such thing as a "comfort zone" it is only in your
mind and because it is only in your mind you can expand it to
any degree in area. You are no safer at home that you would
be at work or any other place. If your going to have a panic
attack, you going to have it and fighting only makes it worse.
4. Get to a real doctor, get on medication and stop the panic
then you can work on finding out what caused them in the first
place.
