For a person who suffers from either anxiety or panic (or both) the last thing they’ll need on their plates is to have someone telling them there’s nothing wrong with them, and that it’s “all in their heads”.

These people are right to a certain extent in that medically at least anxiety disorders have been classed as Mental Disorders as opposed to Medical Disorders.

What they’re mistaken about however, is the fact that you can turn off a switch somewhere in your brain at will and magically stop the attacks. It can be done to a certain extent, but it takes time and much effort before you can accomplish this - so don’t despair.

It has been widely accepted, and doctors agree that anxiety disorders and panic attacks are a serious and sometimes debilitating condition for the sufferer. So the next time someone tells you to pull yourself together when you’re having an attack you have no need to feel ashamed of yourself.

You’re not the only person who suffers from anxiety attacks and you’re not alone, there are qualified medical practitioners who can help you.

By reading this book you’ve already taken one step in admitting your problem and finding a cure for yourself. Even in the toughest of times when you’re suffering badly and you think you’re alone in this world remember that you took this giant step by reading this book, and that you did it all by yourself.

It doesn’t matter if someone else bought or recommended the book, what matters here is that you have the courage to read on. No one is forcing you to read it, you’re doing it on your own and in my opinion that’s worth at least one shining star to place next to your name.

Remember,

Hold on and be strong, things will get better

– You just need a positive frame of mind.
