Re: Agoraphobia and Panic Disorders
When I was in my 20s and going to college I began suffering from debilitating panic attacks, phobias and finally agrophobia. I too was diagnosed with a thyroid condition but continued to suffer with my symptoms. I was sure i was going crazy and never discussed my symptoms with anyone. Many, many years later ( I dropped out of school due to my problems) I stopped eating
Sugar and wheat and stopped drinking. I didn't drink all that much but I was a major
Sugar junkie. I was going to a therapist who suggested I might have a
Sugar addiciton and I felt so bad at the time that I was willing to do anything. After being abstinent from the sugar and wheat for a while, Most of my major symptoms disappeared!! Once, after being abstinent for some time I had a couple of rolls with lunch and the panic attacks started right back up. My major symptoms went away but I still suffered with pretty severe anxiety and
Depression but I am happy to say that those are virtually gone, thanks to EFT and Donna Eden's techniques from her book "Energy Medicine" as well as a fantastic book entitled "we are all in shock". I don't have the author's name in front of me but will be happy to find it or just do a google search. The dietary changes alone were HUGE for me and allowed me the freedom to pursue a career. I became a chiropractor and have been practicing for over ten years.But I have been frustrated with still experiencing so much anxiety and depression. I have been through therapy of all different types and have done a stint on anti-depressents. The energy techniques have been the missing key for me.
