Panic Attack

Contributed by AnastasiaN on Friday, 2nd February 2007 @ 02:18:33 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

Anxiety swells
like an inflating balloon
With each breath
and each heart beat
panic settles
like drowning under water
The surface fades
and I accept fate
Peace penetrates
with seconds to spare
I gulp air hungrily
and cling to life
while waves of anxiety
crash threateningly around me

I suffered from severe panic attacks for
years and I want you to know. I have beaten
them completely without medication. Pills
only treat the symptoms of attacks. To stop
them you must attack them at the root cause.
This involves understanding the psychology
behind them and identifying exactly what
thoughts set offf your attack. You may want to study basic logic. When an attack comes use
this to counteract your irrational thoughts. Meditation is also quite helpful. Pratice focusing your mind on a single object like a
candle flame. No matter how many times the flame goes out immediatly ignite it again in your mind. If you pratice this eventually your
sense of panic will fade. Pratice it even when your not in panic mode and eventually you may find your panic attacks are not as severe.
I don't know your full situation however I hope this helps you. But remember they can be beaten. They are not invincible. Good luck , Truly , Doug
