I am writing this blog in the hope that it might help someone else who is suffering. Three days ago my anxiety had come to a head. Negativity had leaked into every inch of my life and my flight or fight system was seeing everything as a potential threat. My mind was starting to believe the lies too and I thought my only way to escape the misery would be to take my own life. I was having panic attack after panic attack, one caused by the fear of the next, it was horrific. Then I read something that gave me hope. I was told that my flight or fight response was triggered by the apprehension of the next attack, which I knew but where as previously I would breathe through the attack to stop it, this time I realised I had to accept the attack fully, with 100% no fear. And so I did, with no fear I let the attacks come, and to my suprise they were getting shorter and shorter in duration. Without my fear fuelling them they couldn't get a grip. They stopped altogether. The idea is that I teach my system that panic attacks are NOT a threat, this way it won't react to any symptoms of them. On top of this I have started to implement positive thinking into my life 24 hours a day, to unravel the damage caused by the anxiety. 3 days and I'm healing quickly.
