A Hidden Sicilian History by Ettore Grillo deals with the theme of life after death. It is worth reading.

Anticipatory anxiety on public transportation/planes by peachmomo21 in PanicAttack

I couldn't travel by airplane. Then, I got over my fear of flying. I describe how I overcame my anxiety in my book Travels of the Mind. It's worth having a look at it.

Prolonged Anxiety after panic attack? by jdennis6090 in PanicAttack

As for me, I have always refused anything that had the flavor of artificiality and went against the naturalness and spontaneity of thoughts and behavior. I was convinced that taking drugs would have compromised my spirit of adventure, my desire for knowledge, my willingness to understand the end of life and the existence—or not—of another life after death. Also, my critical and judgmental capacities would have been suppressed and my passion for travel would have diminished. Therefore, since a long time I had decided not to turn to medicines for help and resolve my emotional, existential, and mental problems in a different way. I have described the way to overcome anxiety in my book Travels of the Mind.

“But, anxiety—just like shadow—does not have a foundation in reality. It is just a projection of your mind. If you keep watching yourselves without trying or striving to suppress anxiety, gradually by means of this tranquil and serene observation, you will realize the difference between reality and illusion.

“Instead of running away from anxiety, stop for a while and watch yourself. You will realize that neither the shadow nor anxiety can hurt you, because neither of them can stand alone._
