An essential part of every individual's success in any sphere of life must be their ability to share these experiences with others, in my case my experience to successful reduce anxiety. As such, my story ought not to be considered as a complete one until I have walked the last proverbial mile. This is my story of how I was able to reduce anxiety through substantial focused assistance with The Panic Puzzle.
My journey to reduce anxiety was set against the background of being afflicted with a phenomenon since childhood that rendered me prone to anxiety. These triggers were primarily, especially in my youth, due to being socially awkward. However, my anxiety symptoms seemed to increase in regularity and voracity with age. This would ultimately lead to my first panic attack. My first panic attack was a crucial moment in my life. It severely altered my outlook on life as a hopeful individual who suffered from anxiety attacks sporadically was transformed into someone who became paralyzed with fear. Fear that was so overwhelming that I soon became obsessed with the next panic attack, feelings of worthlessness and that my life was doomed to failure. Furthermore, these thoughts seemed to absorb me as I began to see myself worth through my symptoms such as muscle shivering, heart palpitations, headaches and dizziness. I was at my lowest point, and in my hopelessness, briefly considered suicide. I almost gave up in my fight to reduce anxiety. Then something unexpected happened in my quest to reduce anxiety and its control in my life.
As a last resort to reduce anxiety and its effects, I decided to research ways that I could be cured or at the very least control its symptoms. Initially, this proved to be overwhelming as the information available was vast. How would I know what method of treatment worked or by extension what method worked best for me? I decided to seek consultation from my doctor. I was prescribed antidepressants and these worked for some of my symptoms. However, in time, though my panic attacks were infrequent, I stopped taking them and my attacks returned. I then decided to seek a new methodology for treatment and finally to reduce anxiety.
This was vital as I was becoming increasingly irrational. The constant fear that I would be seen by my family as crazy resulted in me becoming an insomniac. I was overcome almost on a daily basis with the fight to not be "found out" by others. The feeling of hopelessness persisted and so did my desire to reduce anxiety. What was the point of living if you had to suffer in silence? I restarted my search to reduce anxiety and to find a cure for my panic attacks. In fact, I found what I believed to be the perfect antidote after only a few weeks of earnest searching. Sadly, this was unsuccessful as there was little relief in the initial stages. I then tried to purchase self help books. How would others know of my suffering if I was discrete and handled it in my own time? This attempt to reduce anxiety was also unsuccessful. So was my stint with a psychologist.
I started researching once more and learned about The Panic Puzzle. This was the greatest turning point in my life. I became the hopeful man once more without the sporadic attacks. Consequently, my quest to reduce anxiety had found an important ally and this is how my battle to reduce anxiety and to control my panic attacks was won.
