Well, the first time you experience your nemesis, it may catch you totally off guard. You're not at all expecting anything simply because you've never experienced anything like it. Your heart may begin racing. You break out in a sweat or have a hot flash. You may feel like you need to run for your life - anything to get away from the situation. but what situation? The more you think about the panic you are feeling, the more the anxiety races through your body and you feel that you are certainly having a heart attack or, at best, going crazy. It's a scary, scary thing.
Well, if you have ever had an anxiety attack - panic attack, then you may recognize some of what I have just described, and those are just some of the symptoms. Actually, the attack can sometimes be started by a real event that caused some type of fear response, or it simply may have come out of nowhere and you have no idea why it happened. And that is when it's really aggravating - when you have no idea why it happened. That makes it all the more scary. It can sneak up on you and have you in a level 10 panic attack and you won't even know why. Weird. But it has happened to me.
"Well, my goodness, Greg, I think your talking about some weird folks now." Actually, no. I'm talking about normal, confident, successful people from all walks of life that it can happen to. In any given year almost 2.5 million people can suffer from anxiety attacks in the U.S. However, as the stressful environments of our lifestyles continue, and as people are many times embarrassed by this condition, I can't help but believe the numbers are much higher.
It has been a long time since I have had a large anxiety attack. However, I truly remember the awful fear of those moments, and not only that, but the dread, worry, and fear that it would occur again soon - out of nowhere. i was afraid that it would show up again at the most inappropriate time, place, or event and embarrass me to the point of shame. It's the type of thing that makes you think twice about going to a social event, and may well keep you from living the life that you deserve to live. And, because of that, it's also a condition that you should do everything you possibly can to rid yourself of it.
The good news is that you can. There is more information, more study, more medications, and more research on anxiety and panic attacks now than ever before. If you find yourself experiencing anxiety attacks or any condition of anxiety, don't settle to live with that nemesis. See your doctor. If necessary talk to a psychologist or psychiatrist. But don't give into it. Too many times the embarrassment that can come with panic attacks or any kind of anxiety disorder can keep someone from getting the proper help, and they hide it. That's the worse thing to do.
Make a decision that you will not live bound by the chains of any sort of anxiety disorder. You don't have to. We've mentioned that there is much help to be found. There are also ministers who can help in this area. Just remember that millions of other people share your fears and frustrations of anxiety. And also, please know that you don't have to put up with this aggravation for the remainder of your life. Don't live a quality of life that is less than what it should be because of the nemesis of anxiety and/or panic. Get help. Do what is necessary and don't give up. Put your foot down and don't allow anxiety to rob you of incredibly great times to come in your life. You can win!
