face the fear

if you'd like to really try, here it is, the idea's not mine, but this guy's an ex sufferer, a biological scientist, not a doctor or psychiatrist or the like: Panic attacks How bad are they? Do you feel like your mind is out of control? Do you feeling like running and hiding from yourself? Are you afraid that you are going insane? Well, I've BEEN THERE!!! Now I am NOT THERE and I want to share with you how I did it. I'm not selling anything. I have had to relate my experiences SO MANY TIMES to friends and others needing help that I decided to put it out for everyone to read RIGHT HERE on this web site. This is an effective method for completely eliminating panic attacks. You may not like it or fully comprehend it (especially in the first reading). Nevertheless, I think that it will help you understand more about what is going on inside your head. I know this because it was inside MY head for so long. Understanding helps you get control. "Without fear of them they cannot exist" These simple, rational words have so much truth to them! Your panic attacks are YOU being afraid of the way YOU feel. They represent the conflict of YOU being afraid of YOU! IF you didn't FEAR the "way" you feel, then you would have no more panic attacks. This is the answer in a nutshell (no pun, honest)! OK? Ready? In quick overview, to end a panic attack - an overwhelming feeling of fear - you have to pass through the wall of apprehension to the other side of your fear (no, this isn't some weird faith healing or new age crap). This works! I wish I could take you there by the hand myself but YOU have to do it. The trust in it working is something that goes against all aspects of our sense of survival and takes some time to really believe in. Yet IF you are experiencing a fear/panic attack I found the only way to beat it is to try to let the feeling be as worse as it wants to be. Let it be as bad as you can make it. And, because it truly IS a self-created fear, once you have made the desire to travel to the "OTHER side" of fear by letting it do its positively worse to you then ...there is NOTHING...nothing there. No fear. The other side is NO fear at all but a big smile. The moment of realization is a wonderful

Try this right now: make yourself have a panic attack. Now, try. Sit there, close your eyes and try. Think that you're gonna die from it or go mental, whichever worse. Right now. I've tried it. Nothing happened. And I kept saying to myself, ok, I'm going mental, now, exactly now, as I've always feared. Every time,the following days, my heart skipped a bit or my breathing was heavier or that song wouldn't go away from my head, in a nutshell, every time the cycle was about to start, I would let go. Really, you've really got to believe it, not just say it. I'm letting myself go. I'll go wherever it wants to take me. And, amazingly, there's nothing there. Nothing. I know, i will have to use this thechnique so many times again, every time an anxious thoughts starts going back and forth in my head, I'll just et it do its job. Will I go mental? Or will I regain my mental health? Will I fel in control of it, because, as the guy who's written the website calls it, the 'unknown' is not so anymore! That place that we all fdear to go to that our body and mind scream and refuse to go to, is a peaceful oasis, where you can finally be happy. Honestly, try, there's nothing to lose, even if your head's screaming not to go there, even if you don't believe me or him, try. It'll be worth it. Love to all.
