Before going into details regarding my phobias, anxiety , panic attack and my overcoming journey, I would like to mention what I am doing to overcome these problems.
I have been suffering panic attack since 2007 (I am ok now ) , I was a phobic person but not that much. After EPS Ablation ( heart rythm operation or treatment) I became more phobic. My anxiety and phobias jumped uppermost limits so that I couldnt go out, I couldnt travel. Then I visited a psychiatrist and started medication. After a while I started again to go out , but was not travelling and , becoming more phobic person day by day. New phobias formed , for example ; bridge phobia, subway phobia, tunnel phobia, bus phobia, driving phobia, intercity travelling, etc...
All of the phobias turned my life a terrible disaster. I changed a lot , it was not me! My abilities were my inabilities yet.
I told the situation to my psychiatrist , and he told me to consult a psychologist.
After this recommendation, my therapies started. I have been going to psychologist since 10 months , receiving mainly EMDR therapy, overcoming my phobias gradually and step by step.
I no longer afraid of Panic Attacks. I have the control .
Hi Galena. Good for you that your making progress and that you like many anxiety suffers have discovered that you yourself do indeed have control over these thoughts, sensations and symptoms. You have my best wishes
ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
DeleteThanks a lot for sending comment and wishes. Thanks to the theraphy methods and psychologists which turned the lights on and lightened my way . Otherwise I would not be able to get out of this darkness. Moreover , I was thinking therapies as just conversations with the psychologist. Now I am aware of the different therapy techniques which help us discover our self power.
Best wishes..
