Panic Attacks

I've had several of these over the last couple of years. Totally frightening.
Even carrying the knowledge of what is going on in them only partly dispels the suffering they bring. It's all down to adrenaline being used up and then I can't have another attack until the body has replenished its supply. The vicious spiral circle of the self fulfilling attack is a difficult circle to break.

I am using Tibetan Meditation to teach my mind to allow complete relaxation on demand.

Breathing exercises are a tremendous tool in combating the advent of an attack. I can recommend the Samye Ling Buddhist Monastery in Eskdalemuir, Scottish Borders, for its Courses and teachings on how to cope with today's frenetic world. The setting is beautiful, and the pressures non-existent. It is a long drive for me to get there, but it is well worth the time and effort.

I have found that several people I have known for many years also had to endure similar dibilitating episodes. The condition has no barriers to victims. Although, those who have B.A.D seem to be particularly susceptible. It 'spoils' everyday excursions. Even shopping can become a dreadful and fearful experience. I continue to use the meditation as my main method of coping with this problem.

I shall keep a news update on my progress. Should anything be truly useful I'll post it in here as soon as possible.
