Dealing Successfully with Anxiety - My Story
I certainly was no stranger to anxiety attacks as my mother was having them whenever I was a young child. That was back during a time whenever nobody really talked about the fact that they have anxiety attacks, and everybody did what they could to be able to hide it from public view. Times certainly have changed, and now it is not unusual for people to openly admit that they are dealing with this type of the situation.
Even though I was aware that anxiety attacks typically ran in families, I didn't feel as if I was going to have a problem with it because I lived my life without much worry. The unfortunate thing is, that didn't stop the anxiety attacks from coming and whenever I was in my mid-20s, I had my first attack that really came as a surprise. Although I had always expected that I might have an anxiety attack, I wasn't ready for the symptoms that happened and it ended up putting me in the hospital, thinking that I was having a heart attack.
It didn't stop there, and the anxiety attacks that I was having ended up occurring on a more frequent basis and we're gaining in intensity to the point where they were difficult to handle. I began to lose control of my life to a certain extent and I was unable to focus my attention to where it needed to be focused. I even begin to stay indoors, fearing that I would have a panic attack in public. That was when I decided to do something about it.
I had heard that there were people who were able to cure their anxiety attacks or at the very least to be able to successfully deal with them using natural means. I was not willing to take any kind of pill for the anxiety, mainly because I was afraid of the side effects that went along with a lot of that medicine. Having watched family members deteriorate as a result of taking those medications was also quite a deterrent.
I began to do a lot more research on ways to cope with the anxiety using natural methods. One of the difficult things for me was the fact that I hated having anxiety attacks so much that I tended to begin fighting the attack, just as soon as I started to feel it. I didn't realize it, but I was actually doing a lot of damage to myself by fighting them in this way.
I learned that I was able to cope with the anxiety much better whenever I started to allow them to happen instead of trying to keep them away with a strong arm. Allowing the anxiety to roll underneath me as if I was riding on top of a wave allowed the anxiety to leave more quickly and to occur less frequently.
I have to admit, there are still times whenever I feel the anxiety welling up inside of me but it is not something that ever occurs as an anxiety attack any longer. I keep my way of coping close at hand and whenever I feel as if I'm going to have an anxiety attack, I simply allow it to wash away which is something that I've learned from my coping technique. In doing so, I have been able to be free of panic attacks for many years.
