There are some things in life which you want to last for every, and there are some things which you want to terminate as quickly as possible.
Panic attacks are definitely on the 'terminate now' list.
But where do you start? This is a pretty good place to start.
I have lived through panic attacks and I know where you are.
I am not some internet marketer trying to get your money.
I am married with two kids, I had a business which lost money and went bust; and I went to pieces.
Every night I crawled into bed exhausted, knowing that I was unlikely to make it through the night without experiencing my heart racing and throat closing up.
Every night I felt beaten that I had to go through this again.
The morning brought little hope as I was exhausted and had no work.
I was even scared that the phone may ring with a job; and I knew that I was not capable doing any job in my state.
The idea of turning down work when I had no income was painful and I knew that I would be letting down my family; but I was stuck in a cycle.
Well, that's me defined.
Or rather that was me.
Now I am a pretty different person.
Unfortunately I am not a millionaire; so I cannot offer you a smooth and easy road to riches.
But I get up each morning and know that I can cope.
And more importantly I go to bed and know that I will sleep peacefully.
I took a rather round a bout route to escaping my panic attacks, probably because I went to my doctor, who was very nice, but actually had little knowledge of what I was going through and hence although offering support, did not really help at all.
I, like many who have had panic attacks found that no one wanted to know about them.
I don't know if this is a fear that it may happen to them or if friends simply don't know how to cope or what to say, so they say nothing and stay away.
The end result was that my wife and I ploughed through, pretty much alone and hoping that some of our reading would lead to a solution.
I clearly remember the early days when getting out the front door was hard, and then when my wife suggested that I went out alone, I thought I would collapse on the pavement and never get anywhere.
With two small children, I knew that I could not go on living like this and I had to find an escape route.
I also know that if we didn't find a way for me to escape the crippling fears I was suffering that eventually the one thing I treasured more than anything else would vanish from me; my family.
So if you have had a panic attack it is essential that you find an escape route.
