Some people go years upon years of experiencing Panic Attacks in their every day life including when they are sleeping.
From the research I’ve done on the subject, because of my own panic attacks, I’ve found that when you are put in a situation where you are not comfortable and your “fight or flight” hormones kick in, your mind remembers. Your memories are stored in your brain like a huge file cabinet. Every time something happens to you that seems remotely like a past situation, your body responds the same way.
After three long years of having what would seem to other people a string of bad experiences, I finally had to figure out what was happening and why up until 2003, I had what I thought was a great life…
Marriage was wonderful.
Job was great (started my own business in 2002).
My children were thriving and excelling at everything they tried (I worked at home and was able to be with them when they weren’t at school).
My bills were paid and my credit was wonderful.
Then things changed…2003 started a three year streak of bad luck. One day my husband told me that his ex wife had contacted him (after not hearing from her for over 10 years). He was excited…I was sick. I had had a terrible divorce because of other women being involved. That started my panic attacks. Once the attacks started, every time I heard the ex’s name, I would start sweating and get nauseous. My heart would start beating extremely hard and I would have to lay down to stop the attack. We argued constantly and our married life fell apart.
To shorten up a long story, eventually my husband left me to go back to his ex wife. I continued to have panic attacks every time I was in a situation I thought I couldn’t handle. The next year was a very hard year for me. I got another divorce, I had two family members pass away, I met another man from a new town and moved my family to be with the new beau, and I quit my business that was failing. My children were acting up all the time and I really felt like I had lost all grip on my life and what I was doing with my life. I continued to have panic attacks due to the new relationship. I would do everything I could to sabotage it. I would start fights and threaten to leave. Panic attacks were so bad I felt like committing suicide to end them, all because I was scared to be in another relationship where I felt I had to watch out for past girlfriends and ex wives.
After a lot of soul searching, meditating, and several herbal therapies, I had slowed the frequency of having panic attacks that were stemming from past experiences. It wasn’t until I heard about Joe Barry that I finally cured the panic attacks.
I have started a new life with a new husband and my children are happy and healthy again. My life is back on track for growth and new experiences without the constant worry of the dreaded panic disorder.
