What extremely saddens me is that the only treatment for anxiety and panic attacks the doctors are recommending is tablets. Don’t get me wrong  taken medication to assist me get back management of my anxiety and panic attacks.   i’m aware that taking medication only serves to mask the anxiety it is not actually a cure.

Yes you may go weeks, months or even years without a anxiety or panic attack.  But it will return back.  It comes back because you have not handled the actual reason behind the anxiety. Thus, since most people opt for to see there doctor it can generally feel as if we are changing into an emotionless, medicated society. The issue is that prescription medications don’t seem to be the sole treatments for anxiety.

When you can see what’s causing your anxiety, you will doubtless find that you’ll notice a more effective treatment.  I understand from personal experience that it can be very onerous and distressing to work through your anxiety, however it is worth it within the long run. You must grasp that external factors, such as work and home stress can cause us to feel moments of anxiety after they don’t seem to be dealt with, but why is it that some people will just pander to this stress and others can’t? It’s as a result of of our hormones and also the balance of them in our bodies.

We have a tendency to all have moments that stress us out and cause us to feel stressed out or anxious. These moments can continue us and leave us feeling worried over situations, but if your body is creating the right balance of hormones, it’s unlikely that these situations can cause you to own a panic attack in the future. But, if your body is not creating enough dopamine, that is that the pleasure and youth hormone, and enough serotonin, that is that the “feel sensible” hormone, then it’s doubtless that your body is creating means an excessive amount of cortisol, which is that hormone that makes us to feel more stress. This imbalance is most likely causing you to become depressed, anxious, sleepless and you may even be having panic attacks.

But it’s not just these factors that may contribute to you having anxiety, it may conjointly be that it runs in the family.  Although it has not been medically proven there are thousands of case studies that have been done on the family connection.  For me my mother suffered with anxiety and panic attacks and that i spent a bit of my childhood observing this behavior.  Guess what i learn t that behavior, i learn t to agonize, i learn t to panic in stressful situations.  I’m not blaming my mum it’s not her fault.  It’s just a fact of life, that as kids we have a tendency to be like sponges and soak up everything that is happening around us.

Thus it sort of created sense to me, if i learn t that behavior then surely i may UN-learn that behavior.  It’s regarding owning what are your thoughts and feelings and letting go off the thoughts and feelings that aren’t yours.  This doesn’t happen over night but by being persistent and sticking at it, over time your thoughts do win through, you’ll replace old behaviuor patterns and replace them with new ones.  Ones that can enhance your life not destroy your life.

Bear in mind, treatment for anxiety and panic attacks do not all come in prescription form and they aren’t all expensive or lifetime commitments, therefore look around a little bit and see what you’ll realize when it comes to additional natural panic attack treatments that actually treat the underlying problems therefore that you’ll be able to feel in control again.

    Oh wow…you write with such candid and powerful feelings.It's frightening, and I'm sorry you had to go through this. Immediately after my daughter was born, I had horrific anxiety and panic attacks. I never slept. When she slept, I stared at her to make sure she kept breathing.I was consumed with anxiety about everything, and although my daughter was thriving, I dropped down to 99 lbs, and was depleted.My doctor prescribed anti-depressants and my world went back to normal.Thanks for sharing this important part of your journey. It's amazing how common it is and how many mothers are afraid/unable to speak about it.

    This is a wonderful list of affirmations. Thanks for sharing it.

    I have to confess, I used to scoff at those who used affirmations… but I kept hearing such good results from people that used them, I finally decided to try affirmations myself. I can no longer scoff; affirmations have helped me successfully deal with my anxiety/panic attacks and obsessive negative thinking. I'm a convert!

  • Marie-Louise Rode:

    Thanks a lot for your long reply, it really pleased me a lot!

    The topic you have brought up today is certainly one which needs so much more focus! – As you probably know, then the statistics says, that here in Denmark we have about 350.000 persons who are suffering from anxiety/panic attacks, but the reality is that there are many more, unfortunately….

    I`m looking forward to read more from you. Wish you a nice evening! :)

    Congrats on #150! My psychotherapist and I deal with a lot of things, once a week. While I'm not officially “depressed,” I am medicated for anxiety and panic attacks. We do take stock frequently of different situations and life things I'm going through and it helps. I get the blues, the deep-down midnight blues, sometimes. I think that's part of life, and as long as you can eventually pull yourself up to see daylight, I think you're doing okay. You're aware, and I think that's an important factor.

    I hope im not being inconsiderate by posting a reply. I myself do not suffer from anxiety attacks, but I would just like to say you are very admirable for talking about a personal issue like this. The reason im replying is because I suspect you are using youtube as a therapeutic way to relate to other people and even though I cannot put myself in your shoes I just wanted to give you a thumbs up.

    Hi Moodblogger!

    It's a great idea this mood charting. Good for you. I, too am challenged with anxiety (panic attacks and agoraphobia), and depression. I, too, have taken the same meds you mentioned (and a lot more, unfortunately). I think you are absolutely heading in the right, healing, and healthy direction. The proof is that you are doing this blog, charting your feelings, and sharing them with like-minded people, like me. I look forward to reading your blog.

  • Marie-Louise Rode:

    What a fantastic article about fear and anxiety Gitte. Thanks a lot for sharing!
    Unfortunately thousands and thousands of people, at all ages, are suffering from anxiety/ panic attacks today. The bad news are, that most of these people are being treated with different anti depressive drugs, with lots of side effects, which at times make things even worse!

    Instead of ” pumping” people with drugs, the Doctors should rather try to find the underlying problems ( via counselling etc.) to WHY they are suffering from Anxiety/panic attacks.

    In my eyes, treating Anxiety with drugs is only a way to “treat” the symptoms, and that way will never help the “patient” on the long run….

    mmm…I'm thinking….how can I word this…I have a hard time defining myself by my diagnosis. It makes me all twisted inside and causes me to feel even more different.

    So I learned to say the following:

    Hi, I'm Trisha. I'm a grateful Believer who struggles with anxiety with panic attacks and PTSD. I'm a survivor of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.

    This way I'm defined by what I believe in.

  • Paul Ng:

    About 30 years ago, as a youth, I tried to seek answers to my problems in Christianity and church. I was plagued by depression, anxiety and panic attacks constantly. I became worse so much so that the pastor and many other “loving” Christian brothers and sisters could not stand the sight of me. Despite my condition, I was sincerely trying to be serious with God, trying hard to know Him and to love Him. One Sunday morning, the pastor standing at the pulpit and in front of the congregation, openly told me to get lost and away from his church. How embarrashing!! How I wish that I could have Pastor Joseph Prince's sermon then.

    <a class="watch-comment-atlink" When i took antidepressants i didn't notice any weight changes…but I did lose weight when I wasn't on them because of loss of appetite. Now I have changed my diet and am eating like a vegetarian again, only this time more strict because of the economy. I was told that if you take your antidepressants at night, you sleep through the side affects until your body gets use to it and then you can change the time you take it if you want….I didn't because taking at night worked for me

    I agree it's a good article. I'm not quite sure how stress at work and anxiety/panic attacks are linked but I found a very good e-book that showed you how to interrupt the recurring cycle of panic attacks, where one attack seems to lay the groundwork for the next.
    I found that I could forestall an attack if I was aware what was going on in my mind. Others may find it useful too.

    Oh dear…I am sorry you are struggling so much. But, you do have a lot on your plate right now and I can't imagine dealing with everything you are dealing with right now. I too have struggled with anxiety and depression, more so anxiety and panic attacks. But, I did get off of my anxiety meds during ttc and plan on getting back on the day I give birth. It is all complicated. Have you thought about a second opinion or talking with your IVF doc as well?

    Yes anything is easier than stepping out of my comfort zone. Sigh.
    You know Mak, I don't know what annoys my hubby more, my whining about outings to come or my alcoholism. I think they are both intertwined (how the hell do you spell that word!). I used to be a social person so long ago, now if you say I have to be social, I immediately have anxiety and panic attacks. I don't know how to get past it.
