Jezza,
thanks for posting that! I had my first full blown panic attack at 17. no drugs or alcohol had been involved. I just think it was my body. I'd had minor attacks before, didn't know what was going on. Yes, doctors were quick to write prescriptions for Valium or Miltown....I think it was. Very very lucky for me I didn't like the feelings from tranquilizers. I think I really dodged a bullet.
I will always wonder if only I'd bet taught breathing exercises and such if I wouldn't have drank alcohol. If only I'd learned how to sleep. or if my brain would have allowed sleep!
I think yoga should be taught in schools rather than such focus on sports. my gym classes were of very little good for most of us. yoga seems to be less expensive, works for everyone and is just a better way to go.
Thanks again!
Love from Lenina
