I recovered from my panic symptoms after having them for over 20 years. They did not go away by themselves but it took a struggle, after I recognized what the cause of the problem was.
For ALL anxiety sufferers (I believe they have a common cause, and its different personalities that bring about specific symptoms). You are fighting yourself, the condition is kept alive by your lifestyle and it has became a symptom of your present resulting identity. The solution is to identify what is that you are doing that is ‘feeding’ the disease (some type of compulsive behavior like gambling etc), its something that makes you feel good (relieves some of the symptoms temporarily). Then the fight begins, you are actually fighting yourself.
You have to stop all of this activity, and all that is relates to it.
You have to stop dwelling on all thoughts related to this activity.
Finally and most important , you have to stop reacting to anything related to this activity.
Don’t put a time line, do no be distracted by present emotion (they will all be negative, and trying to make you to think that you’re wasting your time and its all useless).
Do it in THIS order, give yourself at least a week between steps, the last step must be held for as long as it takes (tell yourself that even if my phobia stays, this will make me a better person)
You will know when you’re well, all struggle will be over, all the steps will became effortless, and you will not remember ever being sick!!!!. Also in case of relapse, repeat the process.
Keep the Fight.
Bye.
