(10/5/02) If my computer had cost a million dollars it would have been worth it to read your essay. It was such a God sent (literally) to my friend! Two weeks ago he was having a reoccurrence of panic and anxiety and I prayed for guidance and help...within minutes I was on the computer and found your article. I copied it, and shared it with him. It's amazing to me that it made such an immediate difference to him. Thank you and God bless you. Please continue to reach out to others.

(9/18/02)...on Monday of this week my wife discovered your website and told me to take a look. I honestly cried with relief when I read what you had to say. I have been experimenting with your "crossing over to the other side" theory and although it is scary I think it is beginning to work and I will persevere.

(9/11/02) Hi my name is .... i am 16. I suffered from panic attacks for 2 years. I thought i was going crazy. I just wanted to kill myself but when i read what u wrote on that site they just instantly went away and i just want to thank u for helping me get rid of them and saving my life cause if i wouldnt have never read what u wrote i dont think i would be here right now. Thank You.

(8/21/02) Jeff, Your message is direct and comes straight from the heart. Thank you so much for your valuable insight on Anxiety/Panic. Despite many visits to Physicians/Psychiatrists, I wasn't convinced that what I had was anxiety. I thought of a million things that could be wrong with me. You are so right, you have to cut that fear element that contibutes to the cycle. Once you experience something like a panic attack and know what it is like, it feels so good to help others that are going through it. Thanks a million.

(8/15/02) Dear Jeff: You couldn't describe me in a better way! It feels so good to see that I'm not alone in this. Thank you for giving me the confidence I need to fight this anxiety/dizzy/lightheaded etc. ... feeling I get. I'm reading a lot about it to try to help myself in this and your information is one that has helped the most. Thanks for caring and sharing such important information. It's so much needed.

(8/07/02) Hey Jeff-I just wanted to tell you MANY THANKS for posting this info and for answering my e-mail. I just completed a 10 day trip out West. I flew for 6 hours, walked in stifling heat, climbed many sets of outdoor stairs at ........ and didn't get nearly enough sleep. All this and NO panic attacks. Thank you so much for the words of encouragement and for changing the way I think about this disorder. I hope that others get results as good as I did!!

(8/06/020 Medication sucks, and most doctors are insensitive beaurocrats (probably spelt wrong), although some are great. I'm 17 and i think its pathetic that we have to rely on manufactured chemicals to control the organ that controls us (our brains). Your words are beautiful, and the method is both effective and somewhat courageous, being in control of our brain is something we are all entitled to.

(8/04/02) Jeff, You are right-on regarding fearing what is, or may happen, during attacks. I started facing the fear yesterday after re-reading your great article. I know it will take time and practice however, just realizing that it will work is a great stress reducer... My goal is to practice overcoming the fear and giving up the meds. Again, thanks for the wonderful article. Gave more info than any MD I have had discussions with. Thanks for the response.

(8/01/02) Your affirmation and zeal are a 'tonic' (awful expression) and an inspiration. It's up to me to Face the Fear and Do it Anyway...I have got to be disciplined and keep setting little challenges for myself on a REGULAR basis to remind myself that NOTHING DOES HAPPEN. Thanks again - so good of you to take the time to reply.

(8/01/02) thanks so much for your help with my panic attacks. god bless you

(7/25/02) hi jeff.... i have suffered from panic attacks since 12/09/89... i have been to the drs. many many times, and he puts it down to chemical imbalance, but i don't like the side effects from the drugs (paxil was one of them). after reading your web page, i honestly believe you have helped me on the road to recovery,it makes so much sense that i felt i needed to thank you...

(7/24/02) Your advice has already begun to help......I have been able (since reading your website) to talk to myself by saying "bring it on" when I feel the beginning of an attack and by god they go away.

(7/24/02) Jeff, Thank you for your response. Today I was starting to have a panic attack and I said to myself,"just go ahead and have one and be sure to make it a good one, the worst yet". It stopped!! I think that will work for me. Thank you for your wonderful article, "Can PA Be Stopped"!! I guess I am a control freak.

(7/22/02) Jeff, While looking for support groups for my panic attacks I came across your site. What you wrote made so much sense to me that I am going to carry your words with me everyday as a reminder to let the fear try and consume me. I will let you know if it works for me. Thank you for the advice!

(7/5/02) I read your essay with great interest, it was very spirited and the information was extremely valuable, and I think that what you've touched on is so important for people to understand, but at the same time for them not to feel like it's their fault. We get enough of that already, and it just serves to make everyone feel worse.

(6/18/02) Jeff, I just have to tell you more. I just got back from vacation.... which is tons of people. Nightly concerts, and walking through lines and lines of people to get pictures and autographs. A few times I felt a little funny, and just told myself,"gee I hope I get one now, cuz I am going to defeat it." I tried and tried to get one and COULDNT!!! I keep your web page which I printed, in my purse, and read it everyso often to remind myself of what you wrote. THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(6/08/02) Hi. I read your article that I found in the message boards. I can't tell you how wonderful it is!! And so true. I have suffered for years with this problem, on meds, and off. A few months ago, I threw away the meds and told myself one way or another I would beat these things. It has been two months and I am good. I found your article, and I have to say I had one attack and did what you said, and it worked!!!! Since then I have actually found myself trying to have an attack, to see if I can beat it. And I can't force myself to have one. I tried today in a store, crowded, all throughout the store and again while I was waiting in line. I kept telling myself, come on have one, cuz I am going to beat it. I can't thank you enough. I have printed your page and keep it with me at all times. I am also going to pass it on to everyone I know!!!!

(6/03/02) When I read your article I was reading about myself! I was relieved to hear that someone else knows what a panic attack really is. When you try to explain what is going on with your body no one understands. I went to the emergency room twice in a month! I seem to have so many different pains going on I thought for sure I was dying of either a heart attack or stomach cancer etc. Thanks for the calming reading!

(6/02/02) Thank you so much. I feel so good and so sure. I felt like a proud sailer or soldier who fears nothing. I'm going to use the method and win by losing. I am a very determined person and just 20. I'm going to (get) rid of this so my later years are full of life.

(5/11/02) Thank you very much. I've had panic for 11 years. Mine started when my father died. Like everything in my life I just didn't feel nothing. I just figured, "that's life." But I was wrong because I didn't feel (what) my body did and it took on my stress and sure enough I had panic attack(s). Went to doctors - nothing was wrong with me. They told me it was panic attacks. Now I'm trying to understand that there was nothing i could have done to save my father. I've always been in control but I couldn't save him . Thank you

(5/6/02) this is EXCELLENT advice...i am doing this and its not easy, but slowly i am seeing change as i am willing to accept the worst that could happen...thank you!

(5/5/02) Jeff - Just wanted you to know that I am seeing your site all over the place, lol. It was passed through our group as well (and that is about 150 people, many who passed it on to others). It got rave reviews from everyone...good job.

(5/5/02) Bravo!! I completely agree. I never believed what fear of the discomfort,terror or whatever adjective you care to use, could be responible for keeping the panicky feelings alive. I learned this in Recovery,Inc. Losing the fear of the symptoms is the only thing that works. Now, that is very simple but not easy. That is where Recovery, Inc. came in for me.

(4/21/02) I have read a lot about panic attacks and I have overcome them, you have shared the best. I agree with you 100% and hope others out there will have courage and step out with faith to consider how wise this information is. It was free.Thank you.

(4/07/02) Nice site, we would differ very little in the way we approach the subject...our program focuses on helping a person develop the specific tools they need to pass to the other side. Thought examination, eliminating thinking flaws etc. Mastering Anxiety

(4/01/02) Fearing fear IS at the center of all of this...and our bodies will eventually overreact to our mind's constant fearing of fear, whatever the person's predisposition. So can we agree that meds AND counseling (whether with a professional therapist, self-help books or talking with friends and other 'overcomers') are both therapeutic in different doses for different people?

(3/28/02) I am glad that you "overcame" Panic Disorder. The truth, however, is that you probably were misdiagnosed and never suffered from this disorder. In other words, don't talk about something you know nothing about.

(3/27/02) Just want to say I read your letter on the website and it was awesome! I totally agree with your perspective. I suffered with panic disorder for 13 years before I finally read Dr. Weekes books and realized there was hope for recovery! But then I was too scared to recover!!!!! The cure seemed almost worse than the condition! Face the panic???? Nope, too scary-----I just wanted to continue running from it. It took me almost another year to get the courage to face it and "pass to the other side". That courage finally came from faith and prayer. I hope everyone reads your letter and benefits from it.

(3/19/02) I think you took the concepts of CBT a step further in your statements of 'getting to the other side of fear'....I fully agree, and I think your experience has given me the final piece to the puzzle of overcoming panic that I couldn't quite put words too. I'm sure this will help many people; I have sent it on to some others whom I know will benefit from it.
