Feeling alot better

[JuJu86]

Hey everybody so you see me post here and there how I suffered and was on the road to recovery with anxiety panic attacks well . I am still doing this on my own no meds and no professional help. It is a difficult task but once you stick to it like a diet trust and believe you will see results in no time.

I was so tierd of losing hope suffering one attack after the other running home because I couldn't stand being out for to long . The shakes the dizziness the loud fast heart beat the shortness of breath the cold and hot sweats the strange vision the pressure on the side of my head the feel of being in a dream feeling unrealistic the feel of neeeding to run scream the feel of going crazy or going to die . I have had it and with the after shock feeling no good.

So I had to make a vow to my self I knew it would be a journey to my recovery but I was willing . I would come on this site and read to find hope I seeen people say it will be ok it gets better then I seen others wanting to give up on life because this has takin a toll on them.until I did futher research I googled anxiety panic attacks . The symptoms and how it isn't an illness its a feeling more like a habit, how you can overcome it and go back to living the normal life you were living before you started suffering this . I watched videos of p people who have over came the anxiety panic attacks it gives hope. I read ways to help over come join a facebook page that support those who suffer and people post things that helps one a long way.

I come here to share my experiences with you all because I know what it is to lose hope and gain hope and faith back. Nd that's what I want for all you to do. Now I am 25 I started suffering when I was 24 I know not long enough but seemed like forever and I had to make a choice suffer for long or pin it in the bud and don't let it prolong. I started by doing some reading to distract my mind

I then will do breathing exercises while I read to relax the body . (Breath in through the nose and exhale through the mouth) do each in counts of 3 . Then id listen to gospel because it lifts my soul and makes me happy and makes me feel like there is hope in this recovery it reminds me how big my love and faith is for god. You too can listen to music any kind it doesn't matter if you have religious veiws or not . Dance sing out loud if you wants be silly . Laugh even when you fear . I know you hear people say don't fight it when it comes just face the thoughts feel everything .

Well wrongggg you don't need too it just makes it worst the more you think about it the more you will suffer. Because everytime you think to much about it , your just making it worst on yourself. I am not fully cure! But I am a lot better then before . I go out and have a good time with out fear, I have fun with my family . I do things that I had stopped when the attack began. I do feel anxious every once in a while but no attacks and I simply ignore the anxiety tho its obvious I feel it but key thing to do and don't put mind to it don't fear it. Its all a mental thing. Its your thoughts trying to do for you and you should avoid that and do for your thoughts. I hope I gave a lot of you hope . And hope I can continue please send me notes if you like inbox me I am here to help. God bless you all.

Bless God and Bless you for this post..I too am fighting--I am getting better! the things you describe are the things I sometimes use to feel.  I use the past tense because God is showing me that YES I can beat this.  I am using medication however and I am going to a therapist.  Mine was a bit too intense for me to deal with alone.  However I am now understanding this disorder and am tapering off the medication.  I am understanding that faith and God's help will get me through this.  It takes some hard days and nights of prayer to get over this disorder.  Thank you for sharing.  you have inspired me even more.

Bless

I have had numerous experiences with Anxiety. My attacks don't come very often (Thank god!) but when I get hit with it, it usually lasts about a month. it is a month in HELL to say the least.

i find exercise and patience to be the best approach in relieving the symptoms of anxiety. you really have to know that this is a habit we have when we are overwhelmed with stress.

Bad habits can be broken. Like everything else in life, it takes time.
