No Easy Solutions!!

Dear Readers,

What is the answer to finally getting rid of these anxiety attacks. I'm staring into this computer screen right now gasping for air. You come to a point where you don't know how much longer you can bare this feeling. Suffocating yourself in your thoughts and fears, although on a conscious level you tell yourself over and over again that it's not real, that you can't be feeling these feelings. How much longer can a person bare the isolation and suffocation caused by this debilitating disorder.

I'm actually writing this article in the midst of an anxiety attack. The reason I actually started this blog was in the hope of relieving my anxiety attacks by expressing them on paper. The idea being that maybe a transference would take place where if my anxiety was being expressed in my writing that it would be released from within myself. It seemed to be working for a little while. Recently though it has resurfaced and it seems as though I'm not making anymore headway. I'm hoping as I type these words I regain some of the comfort that I used to feel.

The other day I felt great, and by that I mean just calm. I was able to take a full breathe unconsciously and just felt my mind and body at ease. I think most people seem to take that simple reality for granted. Up until recently I was probably one of those people. Of course I suffered many anxiety and panic attacks over the years, but with time the attacks seems to have gotten worse and leave me feeling more desolate and alone.

I was feeling optimistic when I started to take Lexi pro, thinking that finally a simple medication would make everything OK again. Although I felt my anxiety dissipate, I experienced very strange side effects like a really bad tingling sensation in my arms and occasionally I felt very light headed, so not wanting to trade one disability for another, I cut the medication off after only 5 days of use. I HATE THIS FEELING!!!

I do start to feel better when I write!! The goal of this blog is not to share my personal stories and feelings with you, to be honest, I don't really care if anyone of you out there read this. I do this to feel better and treat my own anxiety. I read so many articles about how people tell you that you can stop your anxiety attacks right away, those people probably never even suffered from anxiety because there is no simple solution!! try and write your feelings when you feel an attack coming on. Maybe it will help constrain some of your anxieties.. IT REALLY DOES HELP!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!
