AIM
(An Anxiety Disorder Support Program)
A.I.M.
There
is no better time of the year to get out of the house, than spring and
summer. It is almost as if the sun is beckoning to you to enjoy
its rays. It promises that it will keep you warm and safe.
So, get out of your comfort zone, and get into recovery!
The sun is calling you!

AIM
is a support
group
organization
for people
suffering with any type of anxiety disorder. Although
everyone
has fears,
and
everyone
has anxiety, over 20 million people
(with anxiety disorders), find
that they are
affected to the degree that
their life is immobilized...they
just can't be sure if they will be able to walk out the door,
or
do any of the things that they need to do..
For some of us, fear is a
constant,
life threatening,
serious, no-laughing, matter.
For others, it interferes with us living the "free" life that we
deserve to experience.
If you experience
extreme anxiety, such as...
panic attacks,
palpitations, dizziness, blurred vision and the
accompanying depression, AIM is here to support you as you travel the
road to recovery. We will give you some tips that have worked for us.
Whatever is
challenging you, we know that you are
stronger than you think. Recovery from an anxiety disorder is
100%. It is
treatable, arrestible and recoverable, IF you work
the tools of
AIM. It may be hard to believe, right now. Take a little
step. HAVE A LITTLE WILLINGNESS. Believe just a
little
bit. If
you don't believe it, we will believe it for you, until you come to
that place yourself.
Many of us have
found that having an
anxiety disorder is one of the
best things that
has ever happened to us. (Seriously!) It's
made us stronger. Once recovered,
we find that we
can do the most amazing things, things that "normal" people would have
a hard time doing!
Our fear is very real, but the reason for the fear resides in our
thinking and behaviors. We,that have this condition, are
highly intelligent, people-pleasing, friendly, etc. The
problem
lies in interpreting events
and bodily
symptoms in a
catastrophic
way, making our world
appear unsafe. Once we learn to see our world as being safe,
friendly, and positive, we begin to live the life we deserve.
PEOPLE FEEL THE WAY THEY THINK. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS...CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL!
.Shallow breathing may lead to increased anxiety and
even panic attacks. Some people theorize that improper breathing is the entire
cause of panic attacks. In any case, learning proper breathing techniques may
not only benefit you as a relaxation exercise, you may feel a sense of calm
overall if you learn to breathe properly. <>
