Overcoming panic attacks

by Tara
(Ireland)

I was getting panic attacks from the age of 12. I'm now 26 and have overcome them I believe for good. The thoughts arising in my mind just before the attack were ultimately about the inevitability of my death. That one day no matter what, I was going to die which of course terrified me.

Then one day another panic attack was on the brink and I just got so sick and tired of the terror that I said to myself 'okay fine, I'm going to die, take me' I know this sounds an extreme thing to do but the truth is once you just accept that you can't control it it loses its power. The truth is you have no control of it so it needs to be accepted one day.

Honestly there is a deep sense of peace that overcomes you when you just let go however it is difficult to fully let go but i promise if you do you will realise there's nothing to be afraid of.

I don't know if this will help anyone hope it does. Take care everyone
