My friend,
As someone who has and still is dealing with panic disorder and OCD I understand how crippling it can be in life. Few understand the pressure, stress, and disease it causes in daily life. You must understand that you were born this way and once you can see your anxiety as a blessing and use it to your advantage, you’ll begin to have more control over it.

I’ve found that the key to panic disorder is combination of acceptance and exposure therapy. Exposing yourself to what you’re afraid of in a comfortable atmosphere at first, then slowly expanding. If you’re going to control your anxiety, you must become the anxiety and let it seep into your being. Understand why you feel a certain way, why it can be beneficial, and what you can do to direct that energy in a positive way.

Once you can do this, you will realize that your anxiety gives you heightened senses, a powerful ability to focus, and an strategic way of analyzing situations. However, when anxiety isn’t directed, it falls into chaos. It runs through our bodies trying to find a way to release itself which makes everything so much worse. The trick is to direct the anxiety before it sets in.

Begin discipling yourself to experience your anxiety slowly at first. Remember to breathe and remind yourself that your anxiety may not even be rational. Face the anxiety and direct it towards positive action. Any positive action. The more you ignore, suppress or become frustrated, the worse it’s going to get.

I hope this helps. My personal blog is Thepathofaronin.blogspot.com and may offer further advice.

Good luck!
