Hey, Alex here, panic attacks causes your life to be a living hell. Click here to see how to stop an anxiety attack. I know from personal experience what anxiety and panic attacks can do over time to create conflict and chaos in your mind. What is going on in your mind is like what goes on during a war on a battlefield. A war is being waged in your head, all at the expense of your well being.
My panic attacks would manifest themselves when I was driving, flying, or sitting in a public place like a theatre. I remember once in particular when I could not enjoy a Las Vegas show because of an anxiety and panic attack. I could not wait for it to be over as the attack intensified over time, all at a $100 a ticket show.
I know what you are thinking, “You were an airline pilot…..holy cow, glad I was not on your jet.” Read my About Me page for more information. I can remember flying across the Atlantic Ocean on the way to London during cruise flight at 39,000 feet in the middle of the night. The mouth would get dry, the saliva would build, the throat would constrict, and the swallowing muscles would not work very well. My mind would be racing and I wanted nothing more than to bolt out of the flight deck. Minefields were going off in my mind and yet on the outside, everything was perfectly normal, two pilots sitting there doing their duties as they cross the Atlantic. Funny, this never happened during takeoff, departure, approach, or landing. The only thing I can figure is you are so busy then and the workload is so high, there is no time for a panic attack in your mind.
I also remember the bad times, internal shaking, dizziness, an “out of body type experience”, trembling in the legs, all while laying in bed losing sleep. I tried many things to rid myself of these evil gremlins in my brain. I was on Zoloft for a short period of time. I cut back on caffeine from sodas, exercised more, watched my diet, did breathing and relaxation exercises, and practiced Tai Chi and Qi Gong in an effort to reduce stress. All of these things helped, but none of them solved or eliminated the problem that panic attacks causes.
The only straw that broke the camels back was Barry Joe McDonagh and his Panic Away system. This simple, highly effective One Move Technique eliminated my anxiety and panic attacks in a very short period of time. The only negative was me not believing that it would work based on its simplicity. I think this delayed my progress till I seriously applied some simple techniques. As soon as I saw my panic attacks and anxiety lessen and the intervals of time between episodes decrease, I became a big believer and my progress snowballed from there in a very short time. So many people for the past 7 years have been helped because of the trust and results of the system that Joe Barry provides. The norm is that rapid improvement happens when you apply and practice simple techniques and understand why. Click here to see how to stop an anxiety attack.
