Feeling Overwhelmed with the Many Faces on Facebook - How Panic Away Can Help

The other day one of my girlfriends said that she was embarrassed but wanted to talk to me . When I make a friend request on Facebook it’s amazing how much anxiety I feel over whether they will confirm me as a friend or not. I wait with such anxious thoughts….what if they just ignore it…what if they don’t even want to be my friend? What if they don’t think I’m worthy enough? And if they do accept and see that I only have 50-60 friends do I look like a failure because they might have 200, 300, 400?” These are not just passing thoughts, but something that she dwells on and consumes her. She said she can work herself into such a state that she seriously think she’s having a panic attack. If I don’t hear back from the person for days I can’t seem to let it go. The more I think about it, I can feel my heart beating faster, my hands get all sweaty, I feel so jittery and light headed that I have to sit down. The worst part is that I don’t know how to calm myself down.
We place so much unneeded presssure on ourselves to be well liked, perfect and we constantly compare ourselves to others. Why do you have such a dire need to be liked and approved by people?
These irrational and what she would call ridiculous thoughts would come at her so fast that it was impossible for her to stop the sensations, there’s no doubt that fear and self esteem issues are at the root and each of us needs to practice our own self acceptance….because she didn`t have the tools to know how.
Barry Joe McDonaugh’s Panic Away has helped her tremendously. She has practiced his One Move Technique for several months now and with all the useful, practical information he has provided in his Panic Away Program she can now stop these thoughts when they come into her mind so that she doesn`t experience the full blown panic attacks any longer!
It has given her a sense of confidence because she is back in control of her thoughts and she is no longer obsessed with people’s approval. It’s hard to conquer anxiety, the mind is so powerful but after finishing the program she said it was well worth the effort!
