As a young child I used to be afraid of the dark, I was afraid to sleep in a room alone.
So when ever it was dark, I would follow an elderly person where ever he or she went.
This went on for till I was 16 years old.
One day I was alone in the house but there was light, I was watching a TV program and all of a sudden the power went off.
My panic attack started, I was so afraid that cuddled up in chair and stayed still for GOD knows how long.
Then I asked my self 'why am I scared? I decided to walk round the house in darkness; I stood up and walked around the house like 3 times before you know it I was free from anxiety and attacks from panic.
A friend of mine had a story to tell me.
His dream is to become a motivational speaker but the major problem he has is that he gets attacks when he is called up on stage to address a crowd.
According to him, it is as if his skin has torn away from the body and his heart beat becomes faster.
Until one day he had to present a speech on behalf of his company in a conference, as he was approaching the stage he encountered panic attack.
He knew he had to make that speech, so he fought that fear and anxiety in him and mounted the stage.
He looked at the crowd and began his speech; he tried all he could to appear as normal as possible until the speech was over.
He had overcome the panic attack he had in him.
The major word in all this is determination, if you have that will and determination then you will be free from panic attacks.
If I and my friend could do it then you also can do it.
Good luck.
