But, I have found deep breathing helps and I believe cutting back on sugar and exercise are big keys in helping this disorder, plus getting your B vitamins.. If I need meds again I will use them but I find my anxiety attacks aren't any worse than when I'm taking something. I've been having the anxiety and racy heart but I'm going to cut back on the sugar and up my bible study. Getting the focus off myself is a must. As I said I've been consumed by horrible thoughts that led to physical weakness to were I couldn't walk to the bathroom and when first diagnosed I went through all kinds of tests and was given many different pills because 20yrs. ago this condition was not discussed you were just medicated. But, I've persevered and every time I defeat it I say thank you God. As you read this and set there with a racy heart, tingling body, numbness, obsessive thoughts of fear and worry, know YOU'RE NOT ALONE and there is help and hope. I believe people who deal with this are people of great courage and more strength that we give ourselves credit for when we look at what we endure and that we still go on. That strength will bring us to end of the tunnel and back into the light. I'm not saying we won't enter the tunnel again but know the light is there waiting. Thanks for reading and God Bless.

... Grangy - I read your story and feel like I could have written this myself. You sound like you are working your way through, which I know is a tough thing to do. My feeling is that with God's help we can do anything. It's trusting in Him to get you through. I hope for you as I do for all of us who suffer with anxiety/panic, that you will continue to find peace and strength. Thank you for your story. |

... If deep breathing helps you then there is something you can do to train yourself breath more deeply without any effort. Place a canopy over your bed so that you sleep within a somewhat restricted air space. As you sleep the air you breath becomes less and less oxygen rich and your body responds by breathing in more air. Thus a habit of shallow breathing can be overcome. It takes time and depends on how much shallow breathing habit you have. A friend of mine in Sydney has done this and very successfully. All the best. |
