Panic Attacks' The Secret Prison'


Panic Attacks' The Secret Prison'
Person tries so hard to hide it even from their self
Panic attacks come on like a heart attack without a warning. It is a
very similar feeling and hard to detect which makes it even scarier.
When a person has a panic attack they are frozen in fear. This is not
cowardice.
Panic attacks become a private hidden secret inner prison that
destroys a person's life and self-esteem.
I believe a defective gene causes panic attacks
that is inherited, or a chemical imbalance in the brain.
Too few people understand panic attacks and anxiety
disorders including those who have to live with them.
Panic attack disorders turn a person's life into a hidden secret
prison of fear causing anger and a lack of understanding, from
family, friends and even more from one's self.
Panic attacks are not a feeling or a feel that one has control over.
This is a fear that freezes a person to where they are not always
able to get past it.
The person that lives with it, is the person that hurts the most.
They rarely get understanding or emotional support from anyone
including
their self, and are subject to a lack of compassion and insensitivity.
This disorder does not always come from a way of thinking,
or a bad past experience, although that could trigger it more.
This disorder has not been studied enough to know the true causes of
it.
The public is not well informed concerning the facts about Panic
disorders and anxiety. People who have panic attacks want to live,
not just exist
They want a fear free normal life, but are locked in a secret inner
prison of fear
For some there is no escape. People that live with this disorder are
braver than anyone knows, for they have to find courage for doing
things for every day pleasure.
To live a normal life for someone with a panic attack disorder takes
extreme courage and is not always possible. Sometime this courage
comes and sometime the person is frozen in fear. The chest tightens,
there is no way to handle the fear factor, the feeling that is
paralyzing and comes from out of nowhere.
Medications do not always alleviate the panic attacks,
A person does not choose to have panic attacks,
Who would choose to live in a prison of fear?
