What is Anxiety?
The experience of anxiety is our bodys way of preparing us for difficult situations, which is sometimes called the "fight or flight reaction". In fact some degree of anxiety can be good for you, it can motavate you, invigorate you and push you further to succeed.
But sometimes the feeling of anxiety can become so severe that it takes over your life. When severe anxiety strikes you may find it affects your relationship with loved ones or affects your ability in holding down a job.
The unknown can be scary so the first step to relieving your symptoms of anxiety is to get to know them a little better. You need to be able to understand that all of these unpleasant feelings you are having are caused by anxiety and that actually you are not going to die.
Once you realise that, it will be easier for you to control, and soon enough these feelings will get less and less.
Anxiety should not be something that you are afraid of, the more scared you are of having a panic attack the more often you are likely have them.

When Panic Attacks: The New, Drug-Free Anxiety Therapy That Can Change Your Life
Amazon Price: $10.85 (as of 07/13/2009)
List Price: $15.95
"Having suffered from panic attacks for many years, I was finally fed up. I searched the library and choose this book. It is hard to face the fact you suffer from panic attacks when everything on the outside appears so wonderful. I could not hear or look at the words "panic attack" with out feeling anxiety. This book saved my life without question. I did the exercises and the mood charts. I have checked the book out 3 more times. I don't know why I have not bought it because it is inexpensive ($7.00). It is good to keep for reference.
In another review there was a comment on the successful people in the book. That was a huge help to me because even successful people suffer from anxiety disorders. Would you want to hear that you suffer from a disorder that only unsuccessful, depressed people suffer from? I don't think so. If you want freedom from a panic attacks, you must pick up this book. I wish I could contact Dr. Burns myself to let him know that he changed my life. "
