Help for Anxiety, Phobias, OCD and Depression.

The day our experiences result in extreme anxiety or panic attack about
which we become acutely aware, from that day on our lives have changed.
From that day on our subconscious takes over in a way that we previously
didn't need it. We are now driven to find reasons and answers, driven to
constantly watch ourselves and driven to look out for failure and negative
outcomes; to concentrate on that one bad quality or weakness among the
many good and strong ones. We become driven to act in ways that make us
angry or scared, despairing and frustrated, ways that make us more anxious
... ways we believe help to protect us.

Understanding Anxiety Disorders and Depression

Generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorders, phobias (social phobias,
agoraphobia and many specific ones), OCD (obsessive compulsive disorders) and
many forms of depression can overwhelm us and leave us feeling out of control.
They feel as though we are driven to act like this, strengthen with every 'attack'
and lead to constant searching for reasons and answers. Involving self-doubt,
insecurity and fear, they can appear too powerful to deal with.
However, it is possible to master these problems, no matter how powerful they may
seem - for the power they have over us is the power we, ourselves give them.

"Fear can, though it is not God, create something from nothing"
- Caspar de Aguilar

Vast resources, in the form of research, therapy and medication, have been used in
an attempt to resolve these problems, with, on the whole, a spectacular lack of
success. Problems are defined, named, classified, listed, ordered, placed in
categories, placed in sub-categories in an attempt to understand and control them
– strangely enough, exactly the same attempts to gain control are found in most
forms of OCD. And while some argue that benefits of this system include a more
accurate diagnosis and subsequent better treatment (which is debatable given such
a lack of success) others argue that it is inaccurate, misleading and overlooks
the bigger picture. That is what this website and the book is about – the bigger picture.

The one underlying cause of all these problems, how we start to feel about
ourselves, the stages that every 'disorder' goes through in development, which
'disorders' develop and why, and then the cure ... not just the symptoms but the
underlying cause.
This website can only give you a brief glimpse into the reality regarding anxiety
-related disorders and how to become free. If you feel that what it says relates to
you, and, more importantly, how you feel - the book can save you a lifetime's
search and could change your life.
