It is only when we struggle with‚ or run away from our anxieties‚ that they gain momentum. We can only be victims of fear if we allow ourselves to be.
“Do the thing you are afraid to do and the death of fear is certain.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have spoken on this web site about panic attacks in detail now I want to tackle the side–effects of panic attacks. Most people who experience frequent panic attacks describe a lingering background generalized anxiety that stays with them long after the panic attack is over. Panic attacks are not spontaneous‚ random experiences. They are rooted in an underlying general anxiety that acts as the feeding ground for them to occur.
I didn't realize this. I didn't understand. It's good to have names for things. It's good not to feel so alone.

Hey QGTL
Isnt it the case that when the panic attacks come - they are only a physical symptom....which fools you into taking them seriously.
Just call their bluff.
Let them ride.
Let them pass.
Don't catastophise about them and they will lose thier insidious grip and eventually die a slow death.
What-cha-say?
Come to olde England - P will look after you.....you can join My boxing club
Ample- my mom will come up soon enough. it is not yet time :)
Mr P- It is not the panic attacks that are doing the most damage. It is the chronic stress underlying and causing it that is. And there is a real source to that stress. And I am trying my damndest to address that. They are not the catastrophe... Although I am deciding what to make of the real catastrophe. If I could articulate it better right now, I suspect you would approve.
Thanks for the invite P. If things change perhaps I will travel some day. I like your island. Tho not when the cold winds blow :)
ok..... I love you so much :)
What my panic attacks proved to me was that I cannot live in denial. I was trying to be tough. It didn't work. I had some grieving to do about my current life circumstances. (And I needed a different kind of job, but that wasn't the major thing.) Talking to my friend who has experienced attacks for years and years really helped me...
