Suffering from panic attacks and using diversion methods to stop them can get exhausting. If you feel you have tried everything there is and are considering medication, please pay close attention.

First you must understand that all the panic attacks symptoms, feelings, thoughts and sensations you experience are products of the anxious nerve signals your brain produces, not the signs of illness… Not Physical Illness, Not Mental Illness!

Symptoms of panic attacks are unpleasant, to say the least, BUT they are completely normal and harmless (no matter how inappropriate).

I found the following  9 steps in The Linden Method and they paved the way to my full recovery. They are much longer and in depth, but hope this helps!

1. STOP VISITING EVERY DOCTOR YOU CAN FIND

Ok, this sounds simplistic but it is very, very important. We need to prove to your conscious mind that a doctor’s reassurance is not required, that no anxiety sufferer needs a doctor in order to be well again; we need to break the anxious cycle which perpetuates your anxiety by constantly reminding the subconscious mind that reassurance is needed. The subconscious mind requires ‘reprogramming’ in order to break down the anxious instincts or habits which drive you to need reassurance at all.

2. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT WITHDRAWING YOUR MEDICATION

Anxiety conditions can be ‘protected’ by your medication. This means that your anxiety condition, which is sitting deep within your subconscious mind, can be shrouded by your medication, disallowing or making it more difficult for this method to be effective. Decide whether you want to come off your anti-anxiety medication. Talk to your doctor about a gradual withdrawal program. If your doctor says that it is impossible to come off your medication at this time, be patient, but make it your long-term plan.

3. STOP RESEARCHING YOUR CONDITION

Doing so will only distract you from the truth and the solution which can be found right here. The only information about the physiology of anxiety and panic you will need is contained in this Method Pack. DO NOT surf the web or read other anxiety information.

4. ONLY FOLLOW THIS METHOD

Use this method only! Do not combine it with any other therapy methods; this will confuse the subconscious mind as you start to reprogram it. This step is not designed to exclude other therapies, because some have great value; it is designed to help YOU. Your mind needs to be retrained to be none anxious, if you wanted to learn Spanish and German, you wouldn’t learn them simultaneously would you.

5. STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR CONDITION

This requires very little explanation. Stop entering into dialogue with other people about your condition, again, this will only confuse your sub-conscious mind, allowing your bad habit to thrive and remain conscious. You have to try and bury that negative anxious habit, forget about it, disempower it.

6. STOP LEANING ON OTHER PEOPLE

Stop relying on others whilst suffering from anxiety or panic. Relying on others only provides a temporary crutch and you need to face this situation head on. No one can help you, ONLY YOU! Before you even attempt to contact someone to reassure you, STOP! Think to yourself that by doing so you are ‘feeding’ your anxiety.

7. DON’T HOLD ON TO MEMORIES OF YOUR CONDITION

As your anxiety retreats, do not dwell on, imagine or discuss the thoughts and sensations that you used to experience, doing so will allow your mind to hold on to those memories; you need to let the subconscious forget those old patterns. The last thing your anxious HABIT needs is constant reminders of how you used to be, that will just feed the anxiety, nourish it and keep it alive in you! Starve your anxiety of all conscious thought and it WILL retreat!

8. DIVERT YOUR MIND – MAKE IT YOUR NEW HABIT – ALWAYS!

Make diversion your new habit. If you think about it, people who exercise every day, partake in hobbies, become involved in clubs etc. are just feeding their habits. But theirs are healthy, non-anxious habits, excellent for diverting thoughts, de-stressing and escaping the daily grind.

9. STOP ACCOMMODATING YOUR PANIC & ANXIETY

Stop arranging your normal daily routines and activities around your condition. Do not avoid situations to accommodate your anxiety. If you accommodate it, it will lay back and make itself very comfortable in the armchair of your mind where it will sit and torment you day and night. BE IN CHARGE!

Through experience, I have found that certain homeopathic treatments, natural foods and remedies can be very effective at helping to balance the body to alleviate anxiety and stress symptoms. I have listed below the treatments that I find most effective.

Please try there before starting conventional drug treatments, they might work great for you without any side-effects.

St Johns Wort
St Johns Wort is often called natural Prozac as it has a similar effect on the brain. Its active ingredient is Hypericin a natural ingredient also found in chamomile tea. A report in the British Medical Journal in August 1996 concluded that St John’s Wort appeared to be as affective as prescribed anti- depressants and to have fewer side effects. It is reported that in Germany in 1994, where natural medicines are used much more widely, 66 million prescriptions for St John’s Wort were issued without one reported case of ill effects. Like SSRI’s St Johns Wort is taken in tablet form and its therapeutic effect is cumulative over about two to four weeks, much like Prozac. It can be very effective and is a well-tested and much used alternative without the synthetic element of Prozac. It is worth considering however, that it is always best to get medical advice before taking any medication. St John’s Wort is reported to affect the way other medicines are metabolized and can make the patient photosensitive (sensitive to sunlight) and other side effects.

Aconite
Aconite is available in tablet form and is very effective at eliminating the more severe symptoms of anxiety as they happen. They can also be taken to help against insomnia and physical exhaustion. They are fast acting; relief comes within a few minutes of taking them. Aconite can be taken as often as you wish, making it ideal for carrying with you and taking them only when you feel anxious. Like all drugs, there is a risk of psychological dependency, but better to be dependent on a harmless natural substance than a mind altering synthetic drug.

Bach Flower Remedies and Rescue Remedy
Doctor Bach invented these remedies, which are manufactured using minute amounts of plant extracts suspended in water and alcohol. The theory is that certain plant extracts can be taken in minute quantities; the therapeutic effect is then experienced as the substance interacts with the body’s mechanisms to rebalance the symptoms. Taken as drops on the tongue the range includes dozens of plant extracts to combat many different ailments. Rescue Remedy is a ‘cure all’ blend of plant extracts and is used primarily to combat stress, anxiety and shock. I have found Rescue Remedy a very effective way of alleviating the extreme sensations associated with panic and is best taken as a panic attack approaches.

Chamomile Tea
The main point to make here is that it was and still is, the best way to take the edge off anxiety. Back in the ‘good old days’ when women often came down with an attack of ‘the vapors’, or anxiety as it is now called, a cup of chamomile tea was administered. Since 1600, Europeans have used chamomile to treat: nervous stomach, PMS, insomnia, neuralgia, back pain and rheumatism. Chamomile flowers are harvested and dried to produce this aromatic, flowery tea that can be bought as tea bags and are often flavored with honey if its natural taste is a little bland.

Chamomile, like St Johns Wort, contains active ingredients, which act as mild sedatives and can be drunk at any time and is especially effective at promoting deep sleep at night. It also knocks the edge of anxiety. Drinking three or four cups a day is quite enough, drinking any more than this could cause you to feel drowsy.

Like most other natural remedies for Anxiety and Panic Attacks, they are most effective when combined with a plan. Find Out More!

Panic Disorder or Panic Attack? Let’s define it…

Panic attack – a sudden or intense fear, anxiety or sense of impending doom, which reaches a peak very quickly. (Usually within a few minutes of it starting).

There are known to be three types of panic attack, these are;

Spontaneous panic – Associated to panic disorder these attacks come without warning at any time regardless of location or situation.

This sort of attack does not need an external catalyst to start it. Spontaneous panic often happens during sleep, waking the sufferer in its throws causing the person to think they are having a heart attack or some- thing similar. Panic attacks happen consciously as a response to an unusual thought or sensation which acts as the catalyst to your ‘catastrophic’ thought process. In other words, when unusual thoughts or sensations, which are common in anxiety disorders, suddenly rear their heads, the sufferer’s immediate reaction is to panic.

The brain has been programmed to respond like this through repeated experiences. This reaction starts a downward spiral of anxiety symptoms; the more symptoms there are, the more the person panics and the more they panic the more the symptoms occur. Fear breeds fear and the cycle starts.

Specific panic attacks – These attacks happen in relation to a specific situation or place that causes fear. These attacks are usually the response to agoraphobia or post traumatic stress disorder where revisiting the site of a car crash for example, could cause an attack. Many people who experience panic whilst driving, find it increasingly difficult to drive again. Many sufferers associate travel with high anxiety and start to avoid travel. This is nonsensical, geography has absolutely no bearing on your physical anxiety levels.

Situational panic – Although these attacks, like specific panic attacks, usually happen in certain situations, they are not caused by that situation. For example a woman who has a panic attack on a bus, may only suffer them in that situation occasionally. She is predisposed to having attacks on the bus but it is not a response to fear of the bus.

Although you may get immediate results using effective techniques to immediately stop panic attacks does work, chances are that you will need to practice them.

The most liberating thing you can do is to eliminate the root cause so you don’t have to use tricks or medication for the rest of your life. I conquered this by learning and applying the following:

Stress is surely a normal part of life. In the right quantities, stress is a good thing! It motivates us be more productive. However, an overabundance of  stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful and can wear out body down.

When  people say “I’m stressed”, they usually mean they are under some kind of pressure aa they are not at ease mentally or physically. Stress is a condition, not an illness. (Doctors commonly define stress as an illness) Both Stress and anxiety are treatable with practical changes to our attitude, thinking patterns, and environment. This is a fact since both are caused by a change or shift in how we perceive normal pressures in out life. Even though they are completely treatable and curable (naturally), they can however lead to long lasting illnesses, which makes it extremely important to address these issues right away.

There are two kinds of anxiety and stress inducing situations, those that happen once such as a traumatic event like a bereavement or near car crash and those that happen repeatedly such as work pressure (stress), relationship problems or negative family situations.

It is easy to control stress with in situation that happen once is a while. Our mind will usually categorize that event as a memory, archive it and move forward.

Events that happen over and over again, over a long period of time directly affects the subconscious. When this happens, certain systems in our body become are re-configured, which causes the physical manifestation of stress.

Causes of Anxiety and Stress

The same mechanism that causes anxiety disorders such as general Anxiety Disorder, panic attacks and phobias is also responsible for the symptoms of stress and, contrary to what you may have been told by doctors or psychologists, these factors can be addressed eliminated completely, permanently, and naturally.

Symptoms of Anxiety and Stress

Here are some of the most common Symptoms of Stress

Treatment of Anxiety and Stress

Eliminating situational stress will surely get rid of that specific problem, however sometimes we get stuck and don’t even know where it is coming from anymore. It is important to address it and move on, or we will be in the same cycle where we started, and likely even worse. It is important to create anti-stress habitual thinking patterns and undo-do what has been done. This is the only way I have been successful at completely eliminating it.

Afterword

Please don’t get me wrong, there is still stress in my daily life, on a daily basis. What has changed however is that it no longer effects me. It feels as if I am resistant to stress, and that my friends is a great feeling. I don’t know what life will put in front of me tomorrow, but I sure don’t worry about it today. I have faith in myself that whatever tomorrow brings, I will be excited to take it head on!

To your complete recovery!

The dictionary definition of monophobia is:  “An abnormal fear of being alone.”

Even though this is a correct way to define it, it does not feel that simple and painless to people suffering from it. Usually, people who suffer from Monophobia don’t just fear being alone, they usually fear “the thought” of being alone or away from a person or place that provides them with a feeling of safety and can have crippling panic due to it. I can fully relate to this because for months I was trying to figure out the what and how’s. Read my story

Monophobia is very disturbing and debilitating. It causes people to restrict not only their own lifestyles but also those of their friends and family. This is why it is extremely important that people suffering from monophobia realize that there is a way out and that they don’t have to live this restricted and disturbing lifestyle, or as I called it “a nightmare”.

You must understand and believe that monophobia is a side-effect of anxiety. Monophobia CAN be eliminated, not just treated, quickly, permanently and drug free. Regardless of what you have been told by doctors or psychologists.

The method I finally found has treated over 8,000 people including myself, all with different and varying degrees of monophobia. What blows me away is that every single person that was cured only when their anxiety was eliminated. It was as if the monophobia just evaporated into thin air, just like it appeared in the first place.

The Linden Method helped me break the cycle of anxiety and monophobia, once and for all!

There are many different methods out there, some promise you the world. I can only vouch for what has helped me. If there was another method that helped you eliminate anxiety and monophobia, please share it!

I did it and so can you.
