panic attacks

Sudden periods of intense fear. But remember, you're not alone.

A Tale for the Anxious
Inside of my mind is a whole other world, of course how cliché. A whirlwind of colors and swirls, hues that the human eye cannot comprehend. My fears lie nestled within rocky cliffs and unforeseen storms on the sea. My head is a world that contains all that is. All that an individual learns, interprets, understands, etc. There's a quiet menace that likes to haunt my thoughts, a gang of demons that entangle themselves in my mind’s forests like poisonous vines cutting off a tree’s circulation. The human brain has a funny way of dealing with trauma, doesn't it?

Panic Attacks
If you're reading this, you or someone you know is probably suffering from panic attacks. Let me start by saying you are not alone. There are so many people suffering from this including myself. The feelings of fear, embarrassment, and hopelessness are all too familiar to me. I am writing this article hoping it will help someone else with this incapacitating problem.

Anxiety Attacks in Crowded Places
Everyone who deals with anxiety attacks know that they are a struggle all on their own. They take immense will power to overcome and seem like they never truly end. It's a struggle all on its own to have to learn how to stop an anxiety attack and it's not the easiest thing in the world. I used to have anxiety attacks constantly and over the course of the year I came up with some methods that helped me overcome them. I never looked forward to having them because, for me, it felt like suffocation and drowning. I hope these methods will give you the strength to overcome your fear, and like me, be able to understand where your fear comes from and effectively know how to overcome the fear if you have another attack.

The Next Chapter
The day I realised I wanted to live... Tuesday 13th June, 2017 Just over two years ago, in February 2015, I dropped out of my first A-Level school. I had moved there after my GCSE's but, for various personal reasons, I ended up leaving prior to exams. My parents agreed to this with the understanding I would go back into education in the following September. I spent sixth months working with my dad's company, whilst trying to save myself from sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness.
