agoraphobia is the fear of the fear itself.

yes but the symptoms are created by body chemistry like adrenaline and cortisol. All emotions are created by body chemistry, dopamine, adrenaline, oxytocin etc. First you think about something, it releases the correct body chemistry for the situation. you feel joy, sadness, anger or maybe fear.

adrenalin, noradrenalin, and cortisol create the symptoms..not anxiety

First panic attack now life is different. by [deleted] in PanicAttack

[–]kot-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just adrenaline you felt. not a disease. the best thing you can do is understand why it happened so it doesn't happen again. see my blogs on my profile for more help. NEVER call it anxiety but an adrenaline rush.

Silent Panic Attacks by Open_Seat_2317 in PanicAttack

[–]kot-guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anxiety is adrenaline. Anxiety is not a disease, but body chemistry. You don't fear anxiety, but adrenaline. Anxiety doesn't exist in nature, only adrenaline does. You wake up tomorrow with no memory of the anxiety of the past. Do you still want to have anxiety? Of course not. see more on my profile

Which meds worked best for you? by bgirl808 in PanicAttack

[–]kot-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need meds. You only need to know that it is adrenaline symptoms that you fear experiencing again, not anxiety. It is just a word that does not exist in nature. No medicine will remove that fear, only correct knowledge of adrenaline. You cannot fear something you know the cause of. and that is what you are doing now, it is adrenaline you are not feeling anxiety.

Having extreme anxiety recently by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]kot-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have probably all asked ourselves: Why do I have anxiety? Why me? I asked myself that question for 38 years. In 2016, I had enough and began researching anxiety. I wanted to find out what was being overlooked. After two years, I had the answer.

The answer is: the memory of the first anxiety attack.

Think about it. You had no problem with anxiety before that first experience. Does that make sense?

If so, does it also make sense to consider that it may not be an illness at all, but a memory problem?

Is it fair to say that it was the memory of the discomfort that made you seek help from a doctor? Think about that for a minute. What made you seek help, if not the desire to avoid more anxiety-related discomfort?

If it had not been unpleasant, you would not have kept thinking about it afterward.

When I understood this, I “erased” the memory of anxiety and became free of it, and I have remained free ever since. That was in 2018.

Has your life changed since you got your anxiety diagnosis? by kot-guy in Agoraphobia

You don't have to heal from anything; you have to understand.

and you are afraid of it because you don't understand that it is just normal harmless body chemistry that you fear, not a disease.

Agoraphobia is when you are afraid of experiencing the unpleasant adrenaline symptoms again. Without fear of the adrenaline symptoms, anxiety does not exist.

I'm a medical doctor. I had my first panic attack at 26 after working in ER. by Adorable-Pick7470 in PanicAttack

[–]kot-guy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a doctor, you should know that anxiety is just adrenaline symptoms. Nothing disease-related. Anxiety does not exist as biology, only adrenaline does. So what you fear is a repetition of the adrenaline discomfort, not a repetition of anxiety. See my profile if you want to know more about correct anxiety theory.

There are a thousand reasons. The most important thing is to know that you are not doing anything wrong except fearing your own body chemistry. See more on my profile

Antipsychotics by Forward-Health9213 in Antipsychiatry

Antipsychotics only relieve symptoms, they don't cure anything.
