Anxiety Attack - The big attack. I can recall a long time ago when I was in my early twenties how happy I was to find the job of my dreams an apprenticeship in cabinet making. I had a big smile I was happy and I was excited. Who wouldn’t be who was about to embark on a journey of wood working since I had an interest in the craft and one I was good at from an early age (I had won the National Wood Working competition at our school for my level).

My OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) during this time was at it’s infancy stage but was slowly taking over my life during this time. I had no idea I had OCD all I knew was that each day I would feel uncomfortable pain in my tummy which I have discovered to be anxiety attacks today.

I can recall life being all over the place for me with very little stability and I was going from one thing to another. I remember being in my room and thinking about this apprenticeship. With the OCD I started to obsess about this apprenticeship and it continued hour by hour day by day. This would lead to an anxiety attack and for about 2 months this saga went on for. I wanted to do this apprenticeship but mentally I did not want to because I wanted to go away from the anxiety attacks so off I continued fighting myself and each time I had experienced an anxiety attack I knew the mind was winning the battle.

After about 2 months once I wore my system out with enough thoughts and OCD behavior to last someone a lifetime the OCD around this apprenticeship went away and I started onto something else. It would of been very easy for me to give up and give the apprenticeship away but sometimes in life you need to fight and be tenacious until what you’re fighting gives up.

Anxiety Triggers cause anxiety, anxious moments, and anxiety attacks. A trigger is a thought generated by a situation, event or something read that then leads a person to become anxious or suffer an anxiety attack. I have found with my experience that these triggers may be linked to a past experience a person has had which is stored in the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is like a recorder of events a person experiences in their life 24/7, 365 days a year. Any thing you do whether good or bad is stored in your sub conscious. Sometimes a bad experience encountered in the past when faced with a similar situation in the near future the person will scan the subconscious for any similar events that had happened and from there on will react in a way depending on this past experience.

Now since we have a small insight about the subconscious mind and how it works an anxiety-trigger can be anything from a situation faced, by smelling a particular smell or an event a person may go to.

Some examples are:

A person running across the road and almost being hit by a car leans by the fence to recover from the near miss where then the person smells bunch of flowers in the garden bed, this experience will now become linked to the smell of the bunch of flowers. In the near future smelling the same smell may remind this person of this experience and may create an anxious moment when faced with something similar.

You are in your car driving when there is an accident and a fire starts in the car in front of you. There is a huge traffic jam and you can’t get away and you worry and go through your own anxious moments while you smell the fire. The next time you are stuck in a traffic jam especially on a bridge and you smell the same type of fire smell (even though there may be no fire) this will trigger you to react and go through an anxious episode in a split second your subconscious scans for any past events and this helps you react in the way you do.

Every person on earth has a responsibility to treat people with dignity and respect. One of the main reasons is that people may cause events or situations, which create the triggers on different people. This is evident when people do harm to others whether mentally or physically.

Anxiety triggers could be a variety of things including:
Change
Relationship Separation
Divorce
Job Change
New Home
Road works in your street
Shopping Centers
Lifts
The City
Cars
Trucks

I can recall during the worst stage of having OCD that many things would trigger the anxiety for me including thought and action based things. One minute I would be fine watching TV for example and the next thing you know something pops up on the TV screen and bang in a split second I start thinking and from there very instantly I either get very anxious where many times it may lead to an anxiety attack. My belief to fix this you need to do healing around past based on what is stored in your subconscious. An ideal therapy is EFT and Hypnotherapy. Once your subconscious is cleared this will enable you to move forward.

Anxiety pain varies for different people. One person’s pain may seem massive but when comparing it to other peoples pains from anxiety the comparison of pain levels may be different. During my experience with OCD I had really bad anxiety pain. I can blame myself for this because even though I asked people around me what I was experiencing and was told you will be ok I should have seen a Doctor.

If you have experienced OCD or anxiety you will know each time you have an attack it weakens the mind and body and the more attacks you have the weaker your body becomes mentally and physically. Now imagine in my situation where I was experiencing anxiety attacks on some occasions daily and on a weekly basis for 10 years how weak my body had become. The pain was unbelievable and today I have realised that not only did I stop living for such a long time but I also forgot how it felt like to feel normal. Feeling normal to me means being able to think about anything and doing lots of things without stressing, obsessing and in turn having an anxiety attack.

There were mixed emotions of being scared, stress and mental anguish and suffering. I want you to know if you are going through something similar or have a friend who is they can heal themselves from it if they want to. OCD is not a mental disorder a person has for life. A person has OCD for life only if they choose to only and at the end of the day every person has there free will to live how they please.

As I have explained already in this post I suffered bad anxiety pain so bad that I avoid doing certain things that trigger anxiety. My recovery with OCD started with a full breakdown where I could no longer live, operate and function because my body was missing so much it had lost through the anxiety attacks. I speak more about this here.

Anxiety pain is felt in the stomach with mental stress and worry added into the mix. I hope that people that are going through this experience draw enough courage to do something about it and start enjoying a better life where you can start living once your body has healed from it. To be honest with the amount of pain I was suffering I am not sure if an alternative healing modality could of helped me to get better in my situation. It may also be a belief I have however what helped was seeing a Doctor who prescribed Anafranil.

Are Anxiety Attacks Triggered By OCD? What a great question.

Lets break this question in two parts. We first have Anxiety attacks and then there is OCD.

With my experience an anxiety attack does not happen if my thinking has been switched off otherwise no matter what you do you would encounter an attack. What triggers an anxiety attack in many cases is something you think about. How long do you think about what you’re thinking about and if you’re thinking about this over and over again is this where the OCD link is from?

With my personal experience dealing with both I do believe there is some form of repetitive thinking which is linked to OCD that happens and causes the anxiety attack. So if you’re thinking and experiencing anxiety attacks you may be experiencing a small form of OCD in which I recommend you see 2 Doctor’s to see what verdicts both come up with and analyze the results yourself after all you do want the best care possible.

Can you imagine for a moment how many people on earth are experiencing anxiety attacks that were triggered from continuously thinking about something without the person knowing they may be experiencing OCD.

Conditioning yourself through anxiety is something many people do without realizing and is not a normal practice that should be happening to healthy people. If you are in a position where your able to experience an anxiety attack from a thought or situation I would suggest to start monitoring this behavior because it may be an early sign of OCD in its early terms. My experience with OCD tells me this because I was a person who had experienced many many anxiety attacks each month and after treatment they all disappeared so understand this is not normal behavior.

In the past if I encounter an experience with a particular situation that causes me an anxiety attack I will not put myself in a similar position in the near future. An example of this was my last plane ride. As the plane started to move I had encountered a massive anxiety attack in which it took me two weeks to recover from and my lesson of conditioning was not to hop in a plane again so I do not experience this again.

I automatically presumed it was the plane ride that caused this.

Another example was when I was stuck in a lift where I experienced an Anxiety attack. After this experience I did not hop back into a lift and for 3 years I walked up 15 flights of stairs just to get to work.

Maybe the answer lays within the experiences our soul has stored during past life experiences.

Conditioning yourself through anxiety takes shape in different ways and situations with different people. There could be a thought around a chair that causes an anxiety attack and this person will make sure they don’t put themselves near this chair again just to avoid from having an anxiety attack again because the experience of the anxiety attack is linked to the chair.

The feeling of Anxiety is difficult to describe and I suspect the feeling will be different to different people. An anxiety attack is one of the most disgusting feelings I have experienced in my life. It feels like there is a vacuum hose attached to your back and it sucks your tummy in a twirling motion with a feeling of panic. This is the best way to describe how an anxiety attack feels for me.

Different situations and scenarios cause people anxiety attacks and in return gives a person the feelings of anxiety.

An anxiety attack can happen when traveling in a lift, train, bus or plane or just by smelling a particular smell. This can be triggered with experiences stored in the Sub Conscious mind by the person encountering such an attack.

When I experienced anxiety attacks the first thing I wanted to do was escape from the situation that has caused this just so the attack can stop. If you’re in a plane, bus or train it’s difficult to get out and the only option is to sit and feel the anxiety attack. My last anxiety attack happened when I was in a plane and it happened as soon as the plane started to take off. It destroyed my trip and I was lucky I was holidaying for a month because it took me 2 weeks to recover from this anxiety attack with the help of high dosage Amcal Chemist brand multi-vitamins. I could not of hopped back into the plane during the first two weeks of the trip was my body mentally was out of balance.

I am not familiar with the medical terms but from experience I find each time I experience an anxiety attack it leaves me with a chemical imbalance in the brain. By taking the vitamins it helps to balance this back to where it should be and for me it takes about 2 weeks.

I have not had the chance to test out healing alternatives for Anxiety attacks and if I should experience another attack I can test out a for alternative healing modalities to combat and heal from the anxiety.

Depression triggers for people can consist of a number of different things. I have found with my experience that depression creeps up to you slowly just like a big ball rolling down a hill. The further the ball rolls down the hill the more faster it rolls down. People don’t wake up in the morning with depression. Depression can be triggered by a number of things which could be around the environment one lives, bullying, cash flow problems, self belief issues etc

There is one definite thing that can cause depression and that is experiencing something on a harsh scale that can take away some of your independence or can cause physical injury from an accident. What this also does I believe is it makes you loose part of your soul. Some of you reading this might be thinking otherwise but I do believe in the soul retrieval process as long as it down by someone experienced and i think can help with depression.

Everyone in society has a responsibility to fulfill in the actions they take whether in when they are dealing with people or in any society based situation. Its the incorrect actions you may take that can become the depression triggers for people. Examples of this is Car rage and school yard bullying. By committing any of these acts towards people not only are they causing people grief but also the possibility of depressing these people. If people opt to be this way then they will need to remember the law of Karma which works for verbal and physical damage one causes another person.

It would be great if we can pinpoint these triggers straight away without the cause effect of depression.

Helping People with Anxiety is an easy thing to do if you understand a few things.

Lets get the facts out of the way first. In truth and I mean no respect to you however if you have never experienced an anxiety attack you would not know how it feels like. This is ok you still can help someone but the first rule is never tell a person going through anxiety they will be ok because it will frustrate them. I remember many people telling me this and it was very annoying to say the least.

The thing people want most is for someone to be there soundboard which means someone that will listen to them as they speak about what they are going through. Be there for them and help them with what they need.

If a person has issues going outside and they have become a recluse there is a reason behind this. OCD starts off small then grows into a huge monster. In this case the reason a person does not want to go outside is being of this situation being the trigger of anxiety.

Many people including myself will stop doing things that may trigger an Anxiety attack. My life for the past 9 years has been wonderful with very minor episodes of Anxiety attacks due to control of these situations.My next challenge when I am ready is to fly again and to see how I cope. Being on a spiritual path and having completed so many wonderful healing sessions on myself I am at the point where my body is ready but I need to get myself mentally ready.

A few other things to remember is that it is ok if someone does not want to move forward from getting better from a situation. A person starts to heal when they are ready not being pushed by another person. Source - Helping people with anxiety.

Guided Meditation for Anxiety is perfect for anyone who is about to do something that may trigger an anxiety attack.

With my experiences I have found that anxiety attacks occur either via thought or a trigger from a past event that you’re going through when it occurs. I am a person that believes in past lives and that our soul has a data bank with all of our experiences stored here in much in some cases Anxiety can occur from.

I will give you an example. I know from my past experiences that when I have an anxiety attack it was because of the thoughts that were running in my head. Back in about 1998 I decided to go with my sister’s family to Queensland, Australia. Everything was fine however as soon as I sat in the plane and the engine started I smelt the fumes and then I had a massive anxiety attack. This was odd because it may have been the fumes or the plane moving that had caused this anxiety attack. In either scenario for the first time it was not my thoughts that caused this.

In July 2007 during a soul retrieval session what came up was that I was a flying Doctor/Healer in the era of Atlantis and that the craft I was traveling smashed. I am yet to travel in a plane again and I will be waiting in anticipation whether I will react in this same way again or not since soul fragments around this were retrieved.

Back to the guided meditation for anxiety session.

This is a simple meditation to do. You commence this meditation session just before you do what will cause you anxiety.

The process is simple if a plane causes you anxiety then before the plane trip do the following:

1. Sit somewhere in quietness.

2. See yourself in the plane.

3. See the plane take off.

4. See the plane land

5. See yourself being already in the place you will visiting.

You can get as visual as you want to during the meditation session.

Use a similar approach to the above for your situation.

Breathe Work for Anxiety - Doing breathe work can help you through if you’re experiencing an anxiety attack. I was surprised to learn about this method during a Hypnotherapy session I had booked in Melbourne.

When we were babies we always breathed through our Diaphragm not that I can remember this but observe a baby and see how it breathes.

Above is an image of the Diaphragm and as you can see this is the region between your tummy and upper lungs.

Test yourself to see to see how you breathe. If you some from anxiety attacks there is a good chance you’re breathing through your chest not the diaphragm area.

Breathe Exercise

Place your left hand in a flat position over your chest on the right hand side and place your right hand over to the left hand side of your chest. Now take a few breathes in and out. Are your hands moving in and out? If they are moving you’re breathing through your chest not your Diaphragm. Breathing through your Diaphragm helps you to release any toxins in your tummy area that may build up which needs to be released.

At first this will be a little difficult for yo to do but the more you do this exercise the better you will become at it.

Its best if you were standing to complete this exercise.

1. Place your hands on your chest as described above.

2. Take slow breathes in and out and attempt to breathe in through your tummy rather than your chest.

You will need to do this a few times. Once you start to breathe through your Diaphragm you will notice your hands will stop moving. This is the sign that you have done this correctly.
