OCD affects 2 million American adults and can lead to anxiety or depression. OCD seems to affect just as many men as women with 1/3 of all adults developing symptoms as a child. Statistics show that it can be genetic or can also begin in childhood, the teen years or early adulthood. Learn How Panic Away can CURE your anxiety attacks.

OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a type of anxiety where a person experiences unwanted thoughts or fears that lead them to obsess and do repititive ritualistic behaviours such as checking to make sure the door is locked several times, or driving by a certain spot several times to make sure no one is ran over.

A girlfriend of mine was over a few nights ago and she was telling me how she suffers from OCD since the eighth grade. Her behaviour consists of always having things perfectly neat and lined up, when her friends come over and move anything in her room out of her symmetrical alignment it triggers her anxiety and she immediately feels stricken with panic, this had led her to finally talk to each of her friends individually expressing how she feels and her OCD. Now all of her friends are doing their best to understand her situation and her panic attacks. At first she felt embarrassed but after bringing it out in the open she appreciates their care and concern and she can relax a lot more. But she wants to learn how to get OVER it!

Symptoms of OCD:

1. Picking at your skin
2. Driving around the block several times to make sure no one has been run over
3. Counting, ritualistic behaviours or patterns that you feel compelled to do and can`t seem to stop doing.
4. Repeating certain phrases
5. Fear of appliances left on or door not being locked so you check over and over and over

Do you suffer from facial redness or blushing when you get uncomfortable?

Blushing is a symptom of social anxiety. Excessive blushing is a reaction to a strong emotion caused by a situation where you feel anxious, uncomfortable or embarrassing like a presentation in front of people perhaps, meeting your date for the first time, a job interview, or having to meet lots of people at a big party. The flight or fight response increases the activity of the sympathetic nervous system releasing adrenaline into the bloodstream. This widens blood vessels, altering and relaxing the blood vessels underneath the skin which increases the volume of blood going to the skin. It is here we experience facial redness or blushing. Nervous blushing from social anxiety makes people fearful that they will be seen as weak or shy.

When you feel the redness coming on from a situation of discomfort it’s almost impossible to stop it. If you suffer blushing in public and its interfering with your ability to interact with others you must address the emotional and mental reasons or the reasons why your fearing the situation you are currently in. Treating the cause in this way will help to make you more comfortable in that social situation. I use to suffer from severe blushing and it was holding me back from attending certain events because I found it too embarrassing. However, when I learned to deal with it and face those emotions it started to get better. I noticed the more I tried to stop it the more I would experience it, I had to get to the “root” and confront the feelings I had. Another key factor to curing blushing is to increase your confidence or self esteem and that starts with self acceptance.

Blushing is a natural reaction to emotions. The more you worry or concentrate on blushing the more it seems to reoccur, so acknowledge your feelings and try to let it go and carry on through the event. You can learn to lessen the intensity or frequency and one day you’ll notice that you don’t even worry about it anymore.

When my blushing stopped I was so thrilled and went on to purchase the Panic Away program to cure my anxiety attacks that had held me down for so long. For months I researched all of the anxiety programs and was so excited to get started with Panic Away.

I want you to break free from the bondage that anxiety holds us in.

There is a cure from a life of anxiety and the One Move Technique from Panic Away will eliminate your anxiety or panic attacks for good!!

One result from an anxiety or panic away can be excessive sweating or Hyperhidrosis. If stuck in an uncomfortable or difficult situation such as a first date, giving a presentation or talking to a group of colleagues, excessive sweating can leave you with extremely sweaty palms, puddles under your arms, and embarrassing beads of sweat on your forehead.

It’s true that people with anxiety complain that they get nervous because they sweat and then they sweat more because they’re nervous. They constantly check their underarms or hands for sweat. This makes them feel less confident, more self conscious and can even lower self esteem. No matter how long you’ve suffered with nervous sweating there is HELP .

Tips To Ease Excessive Sweating

Your water intake is essential to keeping your body healthy and to ease anxiety symptoms.

Every organ in the body heavily depends on water to function properly and to its capacity. We are mostly water. The human body is 69% water. The brain is 85% water, bones 35% water, blood 83% water and the liver 90% water. (Resource: Watershed Wellness Center)

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, and difficulty focusing and it is estimated that 75% of Americans are dehydrated. With hectic schedules it may be hard to drink 8 glasses of water daily so try to keep your water bottle handy at all times. When you experience “thirst” it’s already a sign that your body is dehydrated. Make sure you don’t overdo it on your alcoholic beverages or caffeinated drinks; they actually dehydrate you that’s why with alcohol you get that terrible ‘hangover’because your body is crying out for water.

Signs of Moderate Dehydration

-Dry, sticky mouth
-Fatigue
-Thirsty
-Dark urine
-Headache
-Dizzy or lightheaded

How to Stay Hydrated

-Drink 6-8, 8-ounce glasses of pure water every day.
-Try to drink every 30 minutes, especially first thing in the morning, it will help you feel energized, even if you don’t feel thirsty
-Avoid too much caffeinated drinks or alcohol.
-Water will also help keep your weight in check. Drinking 8 glasses of day will help you to feel more full.
-Herbal teas count too as long as there not diuretic.

Dehydration can wreak havoc with your emotions by contributing significantly to fatigue, headaches, irritability and nervousness.

Although there are many different opinions, I truly believe that the answer is yes and no. Anxiety or panic can be the result of many factors including, a brain pattern or way of thinking passed down from generations, genetic, conditioning or situational. Regardless of where your anxiety or panic came from, you can fix it now with Panic Away and live an anxiety free life.

Biological causes, childhood circumstances, trauma or inherited risk factors all can set you up to experience painful anxiety problems. Although studies have shown that you have a higher chance of developing anxiety if it runs in your family, it doesn’t mean you will forsure.

Being naturally more anxious, excitable or reactive can make you more likely to develop panic or anxiety attacks, according to researchers. There are other factors also.

Experts also relate it to conditioning. You could be fearful later in life if you were brought up by parents who were very fearful themselves. If they had high standards or were perfectionists it could make you more critical about yourself which could lead to a fearful view of the world and a doubtful, anxious personality. If they were over protective and taught you that the world is a dangerous place that can cause you to have excessive worry and anxiety.

At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter how your anxiety started, you can beat it and live anxiety free. Stop avoiding your fears, confront your anxiety and put in all your effort to do the work that needs to be done. Panic Away can help you to experience tremendous relief from the chains of anxiety or panic. I know I was a former anxiety sufferer for over a decade.

The Panic Away program written by Barry Joe McDonaugh a long time sufferer has done his research and has found the cure for breaking the chains of anxiety or panic that hold you down.

More women experience anxiety but men experience it too! I had dinner with a male friend a couple of weeks ago and we talked a lot about our lives. He is a very successful salesman but underneath it all he suffers a lot of anxiety. Being a new single parent of 3 girls he also has a lot of pressure at work, he is always working hard to be make more money. I know that men can experience enormous pressure to bring home the ‘money’ for their family or themselves but when he admitted that he experiences fierce anxiety attacks at home I knew it was time to help him.

He now has the girls 50% of the time and hates that his family is broken apart. It’s difficult being a single parent but he tries his very best to give the girls stabilty, laughter and fun. When he doesn’t have the girls he is working hard trying to meet his quota. He hates that his self esteem takes a dive if his numbers are down at work. He constantly measures his value by how much he sells. When sales are up he’s really happy but when sales are down he’s down too. Just looking at him he appears very confident, happy and handsome. He has numerous friends, does a lot of charity work, is at all the social events and has a beautiful house. But he admitted those quiet nights at home can be terrifying. The thoughts that swirl around his head are “what if I lose it all?” He came from a very poor upbringing and worked hard to be where he is but with sales it’s never a sure thing. The thought of losing it all sends him straight into panic. He feels sick to his stomach and gets so wound up that he told me on several occasions he has literally trembled with crazy thoughts going through his mind like “what if I die?”

I introduced the Panic Away program to my friend and I have to admit he was a little hesitant. Although he told me he wanted to deal with it by himself, he couldn’t answer when I asked him if he’s done anything to try and conquer his anxiety . I told him that Panic Away has really helped thousands of people and to just give it a try. He said to me that he’s exhausted from all of the anxious thoughts and finally is at the point where he really wants to deal with it and is willing to take the steps to do so, fantastic!

It’s tough for someone to go through dealing with the loss of a loved one. It was devastating when my girlfriend’s mother died. Shortly after her mom’s passing she started to realize how much she was forgetting things. Her forgetfulness really started to terrify her because she was always on the ball, super organized and a perfectionist. Simple things like misplacing her keys over and over or forgetting an appointment would send her straight into an panic attack. However, she immediately thought that this forgetfulness must be from some sort of undiagnosed disease and then those thoughts would attack her… what if it’s a brain tumor or cancer? What if I die? Why can’t I get this Panic away from me?

She began feeling unsure of herself, unable to focus or concentrate and scattered as more time went by. Her irrational, obsessive thoughts would make her spiral out of control and her anxiety attacks were frightening. She spent hours researching what disease she had on the internet. She was certain she was going crazy. Would her family and friends think she’s crazy too? Fearing the worst she decided not to talk about it. She was scared.

Grieving is a process and it takes time, death is a huge tragedy. It’s not uncommon to feel forgetful, overwhelmed or scatter-brained. However, because her mind at the time could not think logically, her irrational thoughts seemed completely real and she became obsessed with running to the doctor every time she’d forget something else. It was bittersweet when her doctor diagnosed her with General Anxiety Disorder because she didn’t know where to begin. She had suffered with painful attacks for several months and didn`t know how to get over it.

After seeing her mother die, it’s no surprise that at the root of her anxiety was the fear of dying. Most reasons of panic and anxiety come from being fearful of something. Battle with panic or anxiety attacks? Ask yourself what you’re afraid of.She would wake up at night trembling because her irrational thoughts would consume her.

Fortunately, she now knows that the Panic Away program stops the fear of you thinking you’re going crazy and the thoughts she had although unbearable were imagined and are kicked to the curb!. Learning how to take control back Panic Away has improved her confidence and her memory.

Please know that feeling nervous or afraid that you might be insane is not uncommon when experiencing anxiety but the truth is that you don`t have to suffer from another anxiety or panic attack again. Panic Away‘s powerful One Move Technique (21-7 Technique) can restore you back to your care- free, normal self no matter how long you`ve been suffering
