Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck. I kept trying to change various habits — running, eating healthier, waking earlier, getting out of debt, ending procrastination — and I kept failing. I got very good at failing, in fact. Looking back on those days, given the power [...]

Panic Disorder

Here is your Friday STORY on: HAPPINESS: Happiness is having what you really want, or is it? Or is it allowing OTHERS to have what they really want? To WANT happiness yourself is fine, but it is how you achieve it or plan it that really counts. It is not the destination that is important but the journey. If you were to plan to travel to your promised land to find happiness, you are instantly limiting yourself to no further happiness until you arrive. It is as EQUALLY important to allow happiness to arise upon the journey. Notice the word ALLOW and how integral that word is to those first few paragraphs. Don't restrict or confine; allow! Today's story is an amusing look, but nonetheless loaded with ALLOWING, which brings happiness. Please enjoy... WHAT WOMEN REALLY WANT Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So the monarch offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer; if, after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question: What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and, to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end. He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess, the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men and the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch--only she would know the answer. The price would be high; the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to accept her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified: She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises... etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden. Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that nothing was too big a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants is to be in charge of her own life. Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighbouring monarch granted Arthur total freedom. What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was torn between relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old witch put her worst manners on display, and generally made everyone very uncomfortable. The honeymoon hour approached. Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But what a sight awaited him! The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before him! The astounded Gawain asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she'd appeared as a witch, she would henceforth be her horrible, deformed self half the time, and the other half, she would be her beautiful maiden self. Which would he want her to be during the day, and which during the night? What a cruel question! Gawain pondered his predicament. During the day she would be a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his home, an old witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman with whom to enjoy many intimate moments? What would you do? What Gawain chose follows below, but don't read until you've made your own choice. * * * * * * * * Noble Gawain replied . . . . . that he would let her choose for herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life. Is there a moral here? . . . . . . . . . Certainly: Treat your woman (guys) with total respect (and love) and like the queen she is or should be, and watch how beautiful she will be. Or, (on the other hand): If your woman doesn't get her own way, . . . . things are going to get ugly! : ) (Unknown Author) QUOTE: "I believe the greater handicap, the greater the triumph.' (John H. Johnson) [[ct]]: Panic Disorder

Will Xanax Help Me To Fly On A 8 Hour Flight Across Seas?
for the past year now i have had panic disorder and Agorophobia. If i am placed in a place where i have no control of getting out of i freak out. I mean blacking out, vommiting, trembling, heart racing, shortness of breath, it feels like a heart attack or something. My Boyfriend wants me to accompony him to scotland in 6 months and it would be an 8 hour flight across seas. I'm 100% sure that i would have a massive panic attack knowing that im on a plane thats over water with no options to stop anywhere. Will Xanax help get me there and help me adapt to the foreign environment for 3 weeks? ive never had a problem on an airplane my whole life. Now i'm worried that i won't get to experience this trip and opportunity because it is out of my control.

Does Stanford check freshman grades?
Most people I have asked say that they don't, but my research has left me in a cloud of confusion. Does Stanford University check your grades from your freshman year of high school? My first semester gpa was a 2.6 (Unweighted. Terrible, I know,) but then I switched into independent studies for the second semester, so I had to drop biology because the independent studies program didn't teach it, which I had a C in, (I'm retaking it next year), and Latin, which I had an A in (which I am also retaking next year.) I know that most schools don't count half-credits, so I factored those out of my second semester gpa. (My second semester gpa was 4.0.) I will be returning to conventional high school for my sophomore, junior, and senior year. (The reason I went into independent studies in the first place was being I was diagnosed with anxiety/panic disorder and my therapist recommended it. Also, I've had serious home problems that I've had to learn to overcome. I suppose I could include those things in my college essays.) I guess my question is, if I take advanced classes in everything but math, (which I am terrible at,) and non-academic electives for the rest of my high school career and stay involved in extra curriculars, do I have a shot at Stanford University? Thank you for your time. :) Any advice is appreciated. :)

Odd Type of Anxiety/Insomnia?
Hi everyone I'm a middle-aged male with a history of GAD, OCD, Panic Disorder, ADHD, Insomnia, Hypochondria, Stress Intolerance/Adrenal Fatigue, Tourettes, Chronic Sinusitis, Allergic Rhinitis, Deviated Septum, IBS, GERD and Gastritis. While I've listed most of my ills and ailments above, the primary reason I'm here today is to talk about my anxiety and insomnia. I've been under loads of stress for about a year and normally, when I have bouts of insomnia they last a week or two and no matter what time I go to bed, I always end up awakening too early and only getting about 5 hours (or less) of sleep and then feel exhausted and run down for the rest of the day. I usually never have trouble actually falling asleep though. This time around however, instead of early awakening, I've been having trouble getting to sleep. Either it's anxiety or disturbing thoughts. Sometimes I'm really tired but my mind is in overdrive or my thoughts are racing and other times my body is tired but my mind is wide awake. Sometimes I'll get multiple "rushes" of anxiety that seem to be shooting through my brain or traveling around my brain and this will wake me up throughout the night. Sometimes I'll have nights where I lay down to sleep and each time I start to drift off my anxiety will wake me up again until I finally fall asleep only to be awakened many more times during the night with anxiety and then have anxiety when I finally wake up. I also have these weird anxiety attacks in the middle of the night where I can almost feel and "see" the little zaps of anxiety traveling in a circle around my brain like a shoe in a clothe's dryer (really weird and scary). Another thing I get are these really super-intense dreams where I spend hours trying to solve some very complex imaginary issue that doesn't even exist in real life and when I finally wake up I'm exhausted from all the effort I put into it. Anyone else deal with any of this?. Can the type of anxiety and/or insomnia a person has suddenly change it's pattern so that it behaves differently?. I've had GAD and bouts of insomnia for years but can't ever remember having trouble falling asleep or having anxiety at night, in the middle of the night or early in the morning so this is kind of new and strange for me. I'm on Ativan and sometimes take Benadryl or Atarax for sleep but lately, none of these have been helping all that much and some of the antihistamines make me feel really anxious and wacked out the next day. Thanks for any help or input - Nick
