@Dobiekinq you feel tired and shortness of breath because your heart is prolly beating a million beats per minute, no big deal, in order to over-come this anxiety you just have to spar and focus in on the person in front of u, zone out all the other thoughts of oh I wonder what if, or who’s watching, or how I look.. I was once told that in order to build confidence you have to do things you fear the most… worst thing that could happen is that you could learn from your mistakes

I might be wrong but I'm thinking he's never had a bad bout of panic disorder. The feeling of fear of a large animal vs the feeling of a panic attack are similar but they're not the same thing. I can almost guarantee that anxiety disorders are developed early [first five years] in a persons life [or from trauma later in life]. I've dealt with anxiety since I was a small child from traumatic emotional conditions. Not evolution.

I know suffering from anxiety, panic disorder, ocd, agaraphobia and more is tormenting, I know I suffered through it for 7 years. I have been completely free from it for over 5 years now. Feel free to check out my testimony by going to my channel or my site fuentesevangelism.c-o-m

god why do people who do not know what it feels like, always act as though they know aaaaaaaaaaall about it and know exactly how to 'cure' you. And he keeps talking about stress.. erhh that's more like panic attack. Stress for no reason is not scary, panic on the other hand is.

hey doc......would you charge the "saber toothed tiger" $200 per half hour?

[radharc05]

U serious, is that what he charges?!

[antivert]

Very good intentions, but doesn't address the real problem of false flight or flight reactions as they apply to, say, agoraphobics.

[natjaa]

I agree

Thank you for this. I am an opera singer who struggles with stage fright at times and my anxiety is a huge damper to my performing. This information you are posting is very helpful.
