“What if I have a panic attack right now?” That’s the phrase that always immediately preceded an episode of panic. To call it an outright panic attack in the clinical sense would be a misnomer, in my opinion. From reading myriad literature, I’ve probably only suffered a half dozen or so actual panic attacks: dry mouth, racing pulse, chest pains, racing thoughts, outright terror, and on and on. They last anywhere from sixty seconds to at most, five minutes. Basically, they make you regress to a feeling of early childhood and you want to be put in a safe place and have a safe piece of mind. The last thing you want is to be around other people. For the most part, my anxiety issues and/or events would probably be best labeled “panic-like episodes.” I’m cured, or at least I’m at a point now where I believe the symptoms are so properly managed that I no longer suffer from them. Furthermore, I thought that by having been through several years of challenging anxiety, and made it though, I’m well qualified and duty driven to pass along to others what helped me get to a place in life where I am no longer even remotely plagued by this disorder.

Takeaways
  • The majority of people who suffer from anxiety are successfully treated
