Anxiety and Panic

“How long can I go on like this?”

There are those long sleepless nights – worrying about anything and everything.

Even when things are good, it never seems to end. Your life is in shambles, getting harder and harder to keep it together.

The harder you try, the more overwhelming it feels.

You want your brain to turn off – even five minutes would be a relief.

“I thought I was dying.”

Out of the blue, you felt your heart start racing. You couldn’t get your breath as your throat seemed to close off.

Then, you started to shake and cry hysterically.

Your chest started to tighten – making breathing difficult. It was terrifying!

You didn’t know what was happening and headed straight for the hospital.

“It’s all in your head.”

That’s what the ER doctor said. “It’s not a heart attack. You’re not dying. There’s nothing physically wrong with you.”

That’s all well and good, but it sure felt like you were dying. Now you feel stupid.

Then it happened again and again.

You wonder, “What do I do? Why does this keep happening? What is wrong with me? Am I going crazy? Everything is going great, and it still happens.”

Gaining relief is where therapy can help.

Panic can be so debilitating and exhausting. By learning how to calm your body (in about two minutes), you can then learn how to calm your mind (that takes longer).

Finding out the root causes of anxiety can take some time. Often, it is like peeling an onion. Once you peel through one layer, there is another layer. Other times, it’s like dominoes. You knock one thing down, and two or three things go with it.

Wading through all the messiness of life can be downright, well… messy. But gaining a calmer, more peaceful life where you feel in control is worth the effort.

Anxiety and panic can be so demoralizing. Don’t put off a better life any longer. Reach out and call today for your free consultation at (615) 323-0573.
