What can we learn from anxiety?

In order to heal anxiety, you need to move into full acceptance of the anxiety that you feel.

What if deep down you actually really hate it and you beat yourself up for having a problem with anxiety?

What you need to know is that you can really grown stronger as a result of this difficult experience.

Anxiety can become a gift that is wrapped up in a problem.

As you start to heal anxiety, you start to discover what that potential gift might be.

What has Panic Away taught you?

On the Panic Away forum a member asked: What is the most important thing Panic Away has taught you? We were overwhelmed with the responses.  Sharing your progress and successes is an important step in your recovery.  Please see below some of the valuable lessons our members have learnt.

– I have learnt it is good to go with the flow of life, I have learnt acceptance of myself & to love myself, to listen to my body to rest when I need to rest, when to stop when to go to listen to the body sensations & that it is all ok. I have learnt that it is ok to not have perfection.

I Still struggle a little though but getting better. I have learnt I am a strong person & not weak, that I have faith, that it will always get better in all situations even when I can’t see it at the time. Learning about the person I really am, for once looking inside of me how I tick. Pushing myself, keeping my mind at peace with positive thoughts.

Even though I still struggle with this at times. To be grateful of my friends & family, to not take things for granted anymore. To open up my heart to let others in so that I can heal & I still have a long way to go but I am getting there.

TRUST… Accepting it all takes time to heal & that we all heal at different time frames. 

– The most important thing anxiety had taught me is patience and acceptance. Treating an anxiety disorder is not a speedy, easy process. Since I’ve been using this program I have learned to accept myself as I am and trust that I am working my absolute hardest to get back to a peaceful existence.

Accepting and embracing my anxiety has been a very beneficial lesson to me. I am a more accepting person in other aspects in my life because of what I have learned about myself using Panic Away.  

– The biggest thing I’ve learned is that you need to keep on pushing yourself and teach your brain that you *can* handle things fine and even if you have a Panic Attack, guess what?  It’s not the end of the world.  You can get through it and continue on.

And each time you push yourself a little bit more it gets easier.  You have to take that action, though.  It takes a little bit of bravery and work.  You can’t keep doing what you were doing before, or you’re going to keep getting the same anxious results. 

 – For me, the biggest lesson since having anxiety is I don’t judge anybody or a situation (not that I really did anyway) but I’m more aware of why there could be reasons for people to behave or act the way they do, and I’m more forgiving as well.  And I’m more compassionate, which has made me a better person.

Anxiety is Your Guard Dog

My family used to have this great dog called Shadow.

He was a cross between a collie and black Labrador. (See him above)

He used to sit all day long in the front room of our house waiting for anyone to come to the front door. When someone would finally arrive, he would go absolutely bonkers!

Until…we invited the person in.

If we kept the person at the door, (for example the Fed-ex guy), he would bounce off the walls barking loudly with all the hair standing on his back.

No matter how hard you tried to tell him to lie down and stop barking, he would not listen.

His reasoning was: “I am the guard of this house and if my owner does not invite a person in, then that person is unwanted and therefore a threat.”

I sometimes used to keep friends standing at the door for a few minutes and then let them in (if they were brave enough), just to see the change in Shadow’s reaction.

It was the same every time. Once they passed the front door, he would immediately stop barking and sit back down on his seat.

Anxiety is just like a guard dog. It is your protector.

It is your fight or flight response activated by the emotional part of your brain designed to keep you from harm.

It needs you the owner (your rational brain) to reassure it that the unusual bodily sensations, that pay you a visit, are not a real threat and that all is well.

But just saying ‘everything is OK, calm down now’ does not work.

Just like Shadow, it responds much better to your actions. You need to mentally invite the anxiety in.

If you keep the door on anxiety closed, your emotional brain thinks that the threat is real and there is something to be afraid of.

When you invite your anxious sensations in with total acceptance of them, your emotional brain (your guard dog) backs off and calms down.

So don’t keep all your anxious bodily sensations knocking on the door upsetting your guard dog.

Open the door and let them in.

Accept them fully and watch as your guard dog settles back down into a calm state.

“How I learnt to Accept + Let Go’ A Panic Away Success Story

The central theme in the panic away program is ACCEPTANCE. The key to recovery is to allow the anxiety to come back. Complete 100% acceptance of all that you feel is crucial for the anxiety symptoms to lessen and eventually fade away.

It sounds simple, but it is far from it. True acceptance of your anxiety and sensations is extremely difficult and challenging and takes time. Panic Away member Ella describes her journey to full acceptance and how a simple re-phrasing of the word ‘acceptance’ to ‘letting go’ helped her overcome her anxiety.

Acceptance was the hardest thing for me to do. I didn’t understand how I was supposed to “accept” all these symptoms, condition etc. It felt so awful that it made no sense to me. I did think about it long and hard and tried to turn “acceptance” in something I was able to do.

I turned “acceptance” into “letting go”. I let go of the life I use to live without anxiety. I stopped thinking I want my life back, I want to be the old me. I let go of the twisted attachment I had to feeling horrible cause that’s all I knew. I accepted that I had anxiety and panic and I accepted that it was going to take a lot of work to get better.

Once you learn to keep your symptoms at bay it will be a lot easier for you to accept.  I never really accepted my symptoms but I did stop caring for them. I paid them no attention. I didn’t love them nor care for them. This is how I treated my symptoms at first:

Have you ever had to hang out with someone all day that drove you crazy, you wanted to pull out your hair because of them, they got on your nerves, they made you angry and simply irritated? Hopefully you have! I think we all have!

Well in the morning look at your symptoms as the “un welcomed visitors” like you have to hang out with them you have no choice. So welcome the un welcomed visitors, let them know you don’t care for them, you won’t pay attention to them, but this is the situation and you are stuck with them and you are going to go on with your day not paying attention to them.

If you had person in your house that you couldn’t stand all day I’m sure you wouldn’t “check in” with them to make them feel at ease or ask if they wanted anything etc. You would probably ignore them. The more you do this the more that person you don’t like won’t want to hang out at your house, they eventually leave and don’t want to come back. It’s the same thing with symptoms.

Treat them as un welcomed visitors. This worked for me. I refused to check it. You have anxiety you don’t have serious deathly illness. Nothing will happen. You are safe, just uncomfortable.
Hopefully this makes sense to you cause explaining it is not the easiest! lol
