Distance healing - now panic attacks

[Guest guest]

Been there too. I stopped taking drugs and just do what I can cope

with.

Have you tried Flower Essences and Homeopathy? Both can help a lot.

 

All the best.

I also suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, only mine comes out in different

ways to normal panic attacks... my muscles kind of freeze up and cramp up,

it's horribly painful and really embarrassing! I've had times when I've been

too scared to go out of the house, and felt unable to walk from one end of

the house to the other.

 

The dilemma is whether to take pills to relieve the anxiety, whether that's

pharmaceutical or herbal, or to attempt to deal with the root of the

problem. I had a severe bout of these attacks when I decided to come off my

antidepressants, because I was fed up of the side-effects from taking them

(or forgetting to take them!) and didn't want to be popping pills all my

life. After a while the anxiety came back full force, because while taking

the pills I hadn't been dealing with the issues causing my anxiety... I'd

just been throwing a nice fluffy blanket over them!

 

I had to do something to deal with the anxiety immediately, I was desperate!

I'd only been in my current relationship for just over a year and it was

starting to break down Not surprisingly, as I was a mess. Determined not

to just cover up my problems again though, I turned to herbal meds (St

John's Wort) and went to see a cognitive behavioural therapist (all the

rage, and absolutely fantastic!). Both *really* helped me. The St John's

Wort kicked in for me in about a week's time. This helped me feel brighter

and more in control. Then I started the therapy and this helped me deal with

some of my issues. Both put me on the right track (they're not a cure-all,

but they helped and that's the main thing!), so I well recommend herbal

therapies *plus* cognitive therapy to start with. And then there are

crystals...

 

I think it's quite a long journey to get over deep-set anxiety like this, so

I can't just recommend one crystal to help you. There seems to be a long

train of crystals to help you through the stages from severe anxiety to

accepting yourself and feeling altogether happy and confident being who you

are. Some biggies for me are hematite for grounding that negative energy,

rhodochrosite for comfort, and amethyst for getting in touch with your inner

self / intution. There will be many others that help you, however, because

there are many twists and turns to your 'recovery'. So just go with a

crystal that draws you.

 

Another herbal remedy that could be better for you than St John's Wort is

Valerian. I switched from SJW to Valerian on the advice of my crystal

healer, and it's been brilliant for me. I've heard that SJW is more for

depression and Valerian more for anxiety, and this rings true after taking

both (separately) for some time.

 

I hope some of this helps.

 

All best, and good luck in your journey! It's one of the most exciting,

ironically enough ;o)

Hello and good morning to everyone .

There are many people that has this condition or have had on this forum . I

am amazed how may e mails have come forward saying they suffer from anxiety

attacks .There is a feeling of comfort knowing this , knowing you are not alone

has some merit .I have gathered all the lovely advice that has been giving to me

over the last few days.I must say i feel calmer today ( but that inner voice is

wondering when it will come back ) .My goal is too to meditate twice daily , and

i will cleanse and programme my choosen crystals and keep them with me at all

times .I am drawn to flourite and ametrine ( amongst others ).I have had some

indepth advice on diet and i am going to adjust that accordingly .

Katy , it sounds like the physical symptoms are prominant during your attacks

, I tend to shake and sweat more and get light headed . .But my muscles can ache

due to the tension in the body .

The valerian sounds excellent , it is herbal and I am going to buy some today

..

Hi Diane,

 

I was amazed how many people came forward with this too! Well, it helps us

all feel better to know we're not alone So thanks for raising this.

 

Glad you're feeling calmer too. Don't let that naughty voice in your head

give you doubts! Listen to the nice voice in your head that tells you you

are in control of your feelings ;o) Get some amethyst in to help strengthen

the good voice.

 

Meditating is an excellent therapy - I forgot to mention that!! Remember to

ground yourself, and make sure you stay grounded throughout, though.

Otherwise you'll just be floating around and escaping.

 

So glad you're going to try the valerian. This alongside gentle persuasion

out of the anxiety patterns - through therapy, meditations, general learning

about yourself and anxiety - should set you on the right path

 

Let us know how you get on!

All the best with it all, but a slight note of caution on Valerian -

I'm sure I read that it can at times act as a depressant if taken

regularly for too long, and I think it was 3 weeks I saw, so check

that out and take care.
