Amy Overcame Panic Attacks with Qigong and Acupuncture
October 19, 2007 | 1 Comment
Three years ago I was living the fast life on the east coast. I had everything that one might dream of having but there was always something missing. I began to feel anxiety about my job, relationship, money, etc. and one day had a full blown panic attack while at work. For the next two weeks, I couldn’t get in a car without feeling panic so I did not go to work. If I got out of bed, I felt panic. I finally decided to go see a doctor because surely something was wrong with me and they could certainly fix it.
After weeks of “We just don’t know what to tell you” and “there’s just nothing physically wrong with you”, I was enlightened as to the fact that I probably suffered from panic attacks. Still, absolutely no advice was given but merely a prescription for medication. I never took the medication because I knew this would not fix my problem.
I ended up leaving that area after my anxiety grew into anger. I was angry only with myself for staying in that situation and not being able to find the help I needed. I came home to Indiana and immediately began taking Qigong classes and acupunture treatments. After only a couple of months, I felt like a different person. I started reading about Qigong and found absolute comfort in the philosophy of healing myself. This practice, I knew, would be with me forever because it simply saved my life. Now I want to share the beautiful gift of Energy Work so we can become a society reliant on ourselves instead of everyone else. We own our health and happiness - this must become our mantra.
