Anger at the disorder
Q. I've
experienced various symptoms of panic disorder since about the age
of 16 {l am now 29}. I am writing today to ask about what it is
meant by the term ''anger at the disorder''. Do you have any
examples to clarify this to me?
A. ''Anger at the disorder'' means exactly that. You get
angry at the panic attacks and the anxiety...not at yourself. And
once you have learned to become aware of your thinking, you can also
get angry at the anxiety-producing thoughts. You see the anxiety
thoughts and you tell them to 'go away' or words to that effect.
Same with the anxiety and panic. But you need to feel angry, if you
don't feel anger about what is happening to you, this would then
make it difficult. But 'how dare your thoughts/anxiety/panic do this
to you!' Use your anger as a defense against your experiences.
