Way to face your fear!! Even though I know this video was posted years ago, I still found myself sitting and cheering you on! Hope all is well

[@vranac147]

who didn't have experience of panic attack cannot know how terrible that state is :(. wish u all the best.

[@faylorraineeaston9212]

you're not alone at all . I have agoraphobia too. I feel trapped . I'm so glad this is being brought to light. I've had anxiety since I was 18 and I'm now 56 . I've had good moments through the years but I seem to attract triggers . You're so brave!

[@sweetanila26]

This gives me a lot of hope. I hope I can reach to this point as well. Well Done!

[@SuperFrogcrazy]

is it normal to feel an unreal feeling ,confusion and dizziness as well whilst having a panic attack and a fear of going mad or dying ?

[@sayvory]

Yes its very normal.

[@Anon25216]

Yes

[@Blkjohnny1337]

Anna Lucia yes

[@101marsi]

Anna Lucia this is such an old comment but I thought it was be good to still answer just Incase you and others are still wondering. YES. It’s part of anxiety unfortunately.

[@broganr6495]

Anna Lucia Completely normal and utterly infuriating! I hope you’re doing better 7 years on ♥️

[@laughlovedanceful]

Congrats! I totally understand that awful fear of having the next panic attack. I also get frightful every once in a while, but I confront my fear and I feel better! thanks to panic away for the helpful videos, they have helped me tremendously. And of course, praying and talking to God is absolutely vital!

[@eastbaysf]

Glad you faced those traffic lights.. I hate them to. Any "waiting" is very hard to do.. but you must live and face it.. I go out to get fresh air and am so glad to get home.. I feel the attacks for me are worsened by caffeine though.. I had to give it up.. I am still on a relaxer pill though, but take them just to sleep or I will pace the floor at 3am with my imagined heart attack or brain tumor (silly).. Just Practice going out each day.. Thanks for the post,, so well done. Hope your better.

[@charlottekingsbury-fink]

I have some hope now. I have struggled for around 20 years with this. Now I look at my life, and I as I grow older, it feels like all I have done is wasted my life hiding away. At the moment I can't drive or go anywhere alone, and my kids are getting to the age where they're asking why. I hope to beat this. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@estherweekes7571]

Wonderful! You give me hope. I have thrown myself in the deep end with a lone holiday in Barbados. It has been crazymakingly hard but the more I hear about other people with this condition, the less terrifying it is becoming. People should speak openly about it. It helps all of us.

[@IwasBlueb4]

You are soooooo brave.....I so admire your determination.....Dont worry if u get set backs.....Rome wasnt made in one day

[@apk74]

Well done!! Great to see there can be an end to these feelings...

[@AlisonBryen]

Even after all these years and the vast amounts of progress I have made with my agoraphobia...traffic lights can still make the panic rise in me! Just that horrible feeling of being trapped and being completely out of control of the situation! Still these are small problems considering how bad I was in the past...!

[@LudicrousScotty101]

hard disorder its also hard for the person involved with a person with agarophobia

[@keepitsimple318]

keep it up! you're doing great!!!

[@vickiecook7464]

Thanks for the hope and thanks for the help. God bless you......and me.

[@plutonium78]

Have you any idea where your panic stems from? With the intrappment feeling? I'm exactly the same... even been in rooms regardless of there size I always need to be nearest the door and places where the panic hits can become potential trigger locations for future panic attacks. Is it a symtom of depression in your case? Have u ever tried hypotherapy? I have no idea where mine stems from but at 33year old... I can remember my first panic at 13yo... just came outta nowhere

[@jakiz7488]

im proud of u. girl power!

[@gowrythiru3087]

Hi dear, as you said, it is so true that no one can fully overcome once, they went through the anxiety. It will become your part. Only thing you can do is, not to be fearful about the sensation in your body, but work continiously on your attitude. Feed your mind with good thoughts.

[@jojojeep1]

im happy for you,

[@harisprnjavorac5588]

can not belive!!! GO ON keep it up

[@jemmxox191]

Would love to hear an update of how your doing now 🥰

[@ninjazxd]

That's crazy, I just realized the Panic Away program was the same as the Dare Program. I had the Panic Away book a friend gave me years ago but I was taking Lexapro and everything was good so I didn't feel I needed it and now I can't find it anywhere. Must have gave it away. Is the DARE book and Dare Workbook the same book as the Panic Away Book? Thinking about ordering them from Amazon.

[@suededogs9670]

I appreciate your story , you are for real. But tell me , i have the DARE book , now is the programme like what ? I am reluctant to spend a lot of money just for it to tell me to not be frightened of the attacks or sensations anymore. Do you know what i mean ?

[@theignorantsavants]

Good personal journal.

[@kerryevans5892]

Did you fully recover? Would love to know how you got on

[@CrownOfbeautyy]

What is ur update I’m suffering from this out of no where Been this way 5 months And it’s depressing me feel very alone I’m scared to leave my house

[@byronyo2320]

You are not alone....this just happened to me 2 weeks ago...losing job and relationship getting bad... friends don't understand... embarrassing and painful.

[@bratbug]

im sorry to hear that, may i ask about how you're doing now ?

[@patmcdonagh54]

Well done

[@samanthaepstein6532]

I think it's great what you have achieved. I don't think it's achievable in a week for everyone. Also you don't speak of experiencing any emotions or physical symptoms while on the bus which made it sound all really easy. I literally shake from head to toe with fear and my legs buckle underneath me so I can't move any further.....?

[@stevel6805]

My "traffic lights" is a lamp post... your words give encouragement.. Hope ur doing ok...

[@checkitout6366]

Hey my one is little bit different from you. I am having this for 9 years I guess. I get scared of people's near stores and some of my friends. I can't get out of my house always think that some peoples are making up some plans to kill me. Sometimes I think there no such thing that I am thinking and sometimes I get upset of my nearest people's behaviour and started again suspected them. It's been 15 days or more I guess I didn't get out of my house. :((((:(((:(((:(((

[@yolandahedley8678]

I'm where you started now, help!

[@erentheexblacksmith130]

PLZZZ help me SISSS, i get intrusive n ruthless thoughts while walking on road, i stay at home ain't go outside........even dat produces my mind tics

[@janinecunningham2]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏

[@Linward]

I wonder what ever happened to her... I used to follow her channel, but she suddenly stopped uploading. I pray she survived.

[@rapidachris]

Hello, can you remember what her channel was called.

[@pound4pound740]

What did she do?

[@fortheloveofmoon]

Follow up post please.

[@sherirobertson2146]

How much is the program?

[@dontletithappen]

I've read in psychology books that some mental disorders seem to affect particularly attractive people. (Couldn't help but notice - don't mean any offense by pointing this out.) Please take it easy on "tea and cookies" - that seems like it could affect you as well and increase anxiety. For me, what finally helped me so much was when I became a barber. I had to touch people (cut hair) and try to please people for a living. If you must face and deal with your fears you will overcome them.

[@adrieninfante6936]

Is the DARE book similar to the Panic Away program? I just ordered it monday.

[@AJDeFazio]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@vfosholt]

Awesome!

[@MrTK-uv6vg]

panic is the ultimate fear...fear of fears...but in reality it is the biggest illusion of all time....it comes with a fear of death but ends without doing nothing..after panic can only be death...any way ...its just fight/flight mode....survival defEnSe mechanism made by GOD in hyper alert mode.. by irrational maladaptive thoughts ...i cured my panic attacks completely.....and now i miss the.....so dearly....the technique i used was...hope it helps....hyper imaginative mind... stress...poor child hood....life events....chronic diseases ...drug = anxiety.. anxiety induced depression.... GAD....panic disorder....last stage agrophobia...... Well he is right about the fact that drugs like anti depressent and benzo diazapies ....will help in short term becoz the patient needs immediate relief....in long run anti depressents have worse withdrawal effects...they do cause neuro genesis or neuro plasticity..... The best rx is cbt... graded exposure.... but the most successful treatment is to face the fear ....no breathing exercises no nothing.... The treatment is to just do nothing during a panic attack. enjoy ...doing nothing....and that will reset the amygdala overtime....The other treatment is going to the gym ....and running on a tread mill..... which resets the somatic anxiety .....heart rate .... For agrophobia graged exposure is the best...for panic disorder the above

[@IwasBlueb4]

By the way, you are amazingly beautiful... U probably will get set backs.....Dont worry......

[@lindseyshaffer9233]

im forced to be, agoraphobic,...

[@anonymoussource8705]

When I got rid of my agoraphobia: I lied down staring into the sky and said in a relaxed way: "aaaaa oooo. ahaa." *Then i got my phobia back four days later*
