Hi there, my name is Sheryl and I am happily married and a Mother of three boys, so life must be good right? Well, I thought it was pretty good until about 4 years ago when I started experiencing panic attacks. At first I had no idea what was happening to me and that in itself would cause me panic.
Prior to this I was a normal, everyday, happy person. I loved my kids and absolutely loved being a Mom. We did a lot of camping which we all loved but then it was on one of these camping trips that I had my first panic attack. For the two weeks that we were away I was miserable and I was constantly anxious about the panic attack and I was waiting for it to happen again.
In a very short period of time I went from a happy person to being miserable and constantly anxious. As time went on I became more and more desperate to find a cure for these awful Panic Attacks.
Along with suffering from panic attacks, in between attacks I started suffering from very bad anxiety. I was constantly anxious and always felt as though something bad was going to happen. I worried about everything and even when one of my kids got the sniffles it would send me into a full blown panic attack and I would believe that something really bad was wrong with them.
The whole way that I viewed life changed and became quite irrational. I became paranoid about my kids getting sick, I became paranoid about my kids playing incase they got hurt, I was scared to drive, scared to shop on my own, I was basically scared to do anything.
Some of my symptoms were:
* felt like I couldn’t breathe properly
* tightness in my chest
* feeling dizzy and light headed
* my hands would be cold
* I would feel cold and be shivering
* I would feel nausea’s
* I would get an upset stomach
* I couldn’t eat – sometimes for a day or two
* tension headaches
* constantly anxious
* feeling of dread
I just got a cold shiver while typing these symptoms, remembering how it felt. It is quite hard to describe in words how my panic attacks felt, but they were really scary. The last three symptoms were more of ongoing symptoms with the others being when I had the full blown panic attacks.
I started taking anti-depressant medication which helped a little, but I didn’t want to rely on medication and whenever I tried to reduce the dose so I could stop taking it, my panic attacks would come back with a vengeance. I tried counselling and group therapy sessions, but although the things that were discussed made sense, it didn’t sink in to that ‘irrational’ part of my brain.
I got to the stage where I just couldn’t cope living this way any longer and that is when I found the solution that helped me overcome my panic attacks. When I first came across Panic Away, I was very skeptical. I didn’t really believe that it could offer me anything more than what medication, doctors or counselors could offer. But I was desperate to find a panic attacks cure and willing to give anything a go, plus it had a money back guarantee so I thought I didn’t really have anything to lose.
The techniques used in Panic Away were very different than anything I’ve heard of before and they actually did work. I was quite amazed as I really was very hesitant to buy it and I really, deep down, didn’t believe that it would work.
I started using the techniques straight away and my panic attacks reduced and within a week had stopped completely. For a while I was always waiting for a panic attack to happen, I still felt a little anxious as I was waiting for them to come back, thinking that they couldn’t just be gone completely, but now, 18 months later I am still panic free.
I stopped waiting for an attack to happen, I stopped feeling so anxious all the time and my health in general feels so much better without all those awful symptoms.
Now, life is good, I am panic attack free, I am happy again and my kids are much happier now too.
I hope Panic Away can do the same for you.
Take care
Sheryl
