Anxiety and Panic Attacks – Don’t Let Them Control Your Life

Unless you suffer from anxiety, you probably don't understand how much it affects a person's life. Unless you have suffered from anxiety, you don't have a clue how it prevents you from being yourself, how it keeps you from being with people you love, how it ruins every holiday, every vacation, every get together with friends or family. But anxiety sufferers know this only too well.

For some of us, it's a constant nagging feeling that builds up until we're ready to scream... or fall into a helpless fit of tears... or lash out at someone or something, perhaps ourselves. At its worst anxiety is utterly crippling, keeping the sufferer from living an ordinary life because this huge obstacle is weighing them down, holding them back, changing their whole perspective on the world around them and forbidding them to interact with it. Anxiety can start take a toll on a person's appearance. They may gain or lose excessive weight. Their hair and skin may exhibit signs of stress. And of course this makes the person even more stressed.

Excessive stress and anxiety are an over-reaction of the "fight or flight" instinct built into our human survival mechanism. But fighting and fleeing are the last things most of us need to do in coping with the situations that make us anxious or depressed. Rather than being able to bring this physical response under control, they are controlled by it. Problems mount up and get worse, then are magnified by the overwhelming anxious feelings. This is why where anxiety reigns, depression is usually not far behind.

A panic disorder is a condition in which the fight or flight instinct explodes into a full-blown panic attack. At these moments, anxiety suffers may be virtually incapacitated for as long as ten minutes. They may feel they can’t breathe (usually from hyperventilating), their heart may begin to race, they might start sweating, and even become dizzy or light-headed.[1] It doesn't cease until the sufferer is exhausted, perhaps even to the point of falling asleep.

The causes of anxiety problems and panic attacks are probably as varied as the people who suffer these symptoms. Although it feels like a lonely problem, in reality, anxiety suffers are not alone. ; 2.4 million adults Americans suffer from panic disorder.[2] In fact, this huge problem has spawned a huge industry in the world of prescription medications. People desperate for relief from their anxiety symptoms flock to psychiatrists to get what they hope will flip a switch and make their lives better.

Drugs have their place in medicine, but in the case of treating panic and anxiety, there are other solutions that are a true solution to the problem - not a band-aid fix. At MyNaturalSupplements.com, we believe helping you achieve a healthy lifestyle. The side-effects and interaction problems associated with anti-depressants do not seem consistent with good health, unless all natural options have been exhausted and they really are the only thing that can help you. This would be a decision to arrive at carefully with a trusted physician.

We have two suggestions:

The first is a learn-at-home method of preventing panic attacks, called the One Move™ technique. This refreshing approach does NOT require you to relive the past or delve into the things that might trigger your anxiety, panic disorder or panic attacks. Instead, this method lets you "live in the now" and break the cycle of anxiety. We were interested to discover that this course discusses how certain types of foods, doing the correct exercises and even employing some massage pressure points can get rid of the "background anxiety" that keeps people locked in the cycle of anxiety and panic disorder. This has really helped a lot of people, and you can read about their anxiety and panic attack success stories on this page.

The second recommendation is a natural supplement from the StePHan BioNutritional Therapy line, called StePHan Tranquility. This product has been called a "miracle" by one of our customers, and is increasing in popularity all the time. Taken daily, it helps some people get their anxious feelings under control. Combined with determination to break out of the grip of anxiety, for instance by using the methods described in the home-study course mentioned above, this may just be the natural cure for anxiety you need.

The final recommendation is another supplement, called Satieté. Created as a weight loss supplement to help fight emotional eating, Satieté contains natural mood enhancers that can help people cope with feelings of depression. From personal experience, in facing some late-onset post-partum depression when my daughter started weaning from breastfeeding, Satiete was miraculous. I was literally on the verge of calling a doctor about getting on medication when I discovered the solution right here in our own line of supplements. My symptoms at the time were a feeling of living in a bad dream. Satiete erased those feelings and helped me feel normal again. Now and then the feeling comes back with mood swings, but Satiete has not failed in getting rid of that nightmarish feeling. It is worth a try if you are dealing with anxiety or depression, before resorting to potentially dangerous medications.
