Panic and Anxiety Attacks

Do you suffer from panic and anxiety attacks? If so you are NOT alone, it is said that just over 10% of the population will suffer at some point in their life. I suffered for 10 long years looking for anxiety cures, until I finally found the answers I needed to be able to cure myself. So yes anxiety is treatable and no matter how many false dawns you've had so far, you don't have to "just live with it".

I did not want this to be just another website on anxiety, I wanted it to be the last place anybody would need to visit in search of recovery from anxiety and panic. I also genuinely want to help others. Helping sufferers is not a job to me, it is something I enjoy and find very rewarding. There is no better feeling than changing someone's life for the better. I also understand, through my own experience, what an awful, lonely place it can be.

Symptoms of Anxiety Attacks and Panic can include.

• Lack of Emotion
• Difficulty Breathing
• Headaches / tight band around your head
• Sweating
• Lack of Sleep and constantly feeling tired
• Difficulty Swallowing
• Loss of interest in anything
• Depression
• Racing Heart
• Disturbing thoughts
• Constant worrying
• Feelings of stress
• Paranoia
• Blurred vision
• Panic
• Pins and needles
• Irritability
• Constantly anxious
• Feeling as if you are going mad
• Feeling of hopelessness

I recognise the symptoms above only too well, as this was a list I wrote down all those years ago describing how I felt. There are many more I have heard over the years. But they all stem from the same root cause - Anxiety. Your symptoms may feel unique to you, I know I felt I was the only one to suffer in this way, but rest assured, there are many, many people around the world who suffer in the same way.

The way to overcome anxiety is through knowledge, not through a pill or some miracle cure you may read about somewhere. Fear is the main reason anxiety symptoms persist. If you visit any forum on the subject, 90% of questions are fear based. Why do I feel like I do? Am I seriously ill? Will these feelings ever go away? The list goes on; this is why it pains me to see so little good information on a subject that so many people suffer from. These people can never hope to recover in their present state because every day is filled with fear; they are trying to think and fight their way out of how they feel. When they hit one brick wall after another, they become more bewildered than ever. Until we can bring more awareness to the subject, I feel we will still get forums and doctors surgeries full of people crying out for help and so much needless suffering through lack of information will continue.

'At Last a Life' is not just another anxiety book about breathing exercises or the latest medication, it is my story of  recovery from 10 years of suffering from anxiety and panic. I am constantly updating it so as to include all the symptoms that people fear the most, the feelings of unreality, the worrying and disturbing thoughts, feelings of depression and panic, the over active racing mind, and many more common symptoms. The first thing people say after reading it is that for once someone has finally explained why they feel like they do and made it so easy to understand.
