Anxiety and panic disorder had a hold on my life for more than 5 years and the things most people wouldn't think twice about were making me extremely fearful of contemplating.
My attacks were all related to traveling, usually when I was driving. It never used to be a problem and I could drive feeling normal, then slowly the panic disorder symptoms started to appear, especially on long journeys. The trip would start and straight away the panic would set in, centered around what might go wrong. What if I got stuck in a traffic jam or even at traffic lights? What if I had an accident with no one around to help me? The weather might turn against me or I might be stuck on a bridge. Situations that I used to take in my stride were now gripping me with fear resulting in a tight chest, sweating and gasping for breath, which led to regular panic and anxiety disorder attacks.
Long journeys by car were now out of the question and using buses or trains gave me the same problems, so this meant family holidays almost stopped. The trips always brought on intense fear and numerous attacks, so this put huge pressure on our relationship.
Everything the doctors suggested was having no effective results and other treatments weren't working, but I knew I had to find an answer before my marriage suffered anymore and my condition stopped me from going outside.
Online I found yet another cure that promised the answer, so I thought why not give it a try and see what happens, but was by no means convinced. How wrong could I have been, this was a simple, easy to understand treatment that produced instant benefits.
I began doing different types of journeys using the technique and as I completed more I learned how to deal with each situation and the attacks began to stop. I started driving on my own again, managing longer trips each time, traveling on trains and buses was now OK and the greatest achievement was flying off for a family holiday for the 1st time in ages. Anxiety therapy has given me my life back and I'm taking every opportunity to make the most of it.
Finally I have a panic attacks treatment that actually works and lets me live a normal life again. My last attack was a long time ago and the panic and anxiety disorder that used to be brought on from driving and traveling is now a thing of the past. Ted J Bowman |
