Anxiety and panic disorders are the most common emotional disorder. It is reported that one out of every 76 people worldwide will experience a panic attack in their lives. Each year around 1/3 of American adults have at least one panic attack while most of these adults never develop repeated panic attacks. Only 21% of people who ever suffer from anxiety and panic attacks reach out for professional help.
Do I have Anxiety and Panic Disorder?
The truth is if you experience one or several of the following symptoms, it is very likely that you have it: heart palpitations, sweating, trembling or shaking, sensations of shortness of breath or smothering, feeling of choking, chest pain or discomfort, nausea or abdominal distress, dizziness or light-headedness, derealisation or depersonalisation, fear of losing control or going "crazy", fear of dying, paresthesia, and chills or hot flushes.
What you don't know about Anxiety and Panic Disorders
We receive thousands of emails via our web site from anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) suffers every month. What is very apparent from most of these is that people have a lot of misconceptions about anxiety and panic disorders. In order to cure them we need to know some facts about them first.
Firstly, anxiety and panic disorders are NOT mental illnesses. They are just behavioral conditions stored as memory, instinct and habit in the Amygdala, an almond-shaped set of neurons inside the brain. The National Institute of Mental Health has confirmed that conditions such as anxiety, depression, autism, PTSD, OCD, and phobias are caused by abnormal functioning of the Amygdala.
Secondly, anxiety and panic disorders conditions CAN be eliminated 100% permanently, contrary to what most believe. We already know that stress, bereavement and life circumstances are just the triggers for the anxiety and that Amygdala is THE cause. If we can change the way the Amygdala reacts, you'd be anxiety free. The good news is we can change the reaction of Amygdala quickly and permanently with immediate results.

Panic Attack Symptoms: A First-hand Account Of The Symptoms Experienced During A Panic Attack
I seriously feel that if you’ve never been unfortunate enough to have experienced a panic attack then, it would be very difficult, if not impossible to realise just how overwhelmingly frightening they really are. On the other hand, if you have been in the unfortunate position of experiencing one first hand, then I doubt that you could ever forget just how brutal they are.
So what are the most common panic attack symptoms? Well, first of all you must appreciate that when you’re in the middle of one, the last thing on your mind is making mental notes about your current physiological and mental state. But thinking back to my panic days, the following list springs to mind:
1) Dry mouth.
2) Tensing of my stomach muscles.
3) A slight feeling of nausea.
4) Sweaty hands and feet.
5) People used to tell me that my face went as white as a sheet.
6) Pounding heart.
7) Shallow breathing.
There were possibly more than this but that’s all I can recall at this moment in time.
As I became more used to experiencing panic, I became able to spot the above symptoms and in doing so was then able to distract myself one way or another in order to prevent an attack reaching its peak. I will add though, that, for me, using distractions to ward off panic was a very hit and miss affair and it did nothing to reduce the massive amounts of anxiety that I had to deal with.
Now, when the panic peaked, it used to feel similar to someone hitting me hard in the chest with a soft hammer repeatedly. And these “hammer” blows would “echo” right through my body all the way down to my feet. Whilst this was happening, I would experience an overwhelming level of raw fear. In my case, the panic attacks only seemed to last for a few moments but they may have lasted longer in real time.
Once the panic had subsided, I would feel very light-headed and “not there” for at least thirty minutes afterward, sometimes, over an hour. And, if the truth be known, I wouldn’t feel completely myself for the rest of that day.
The panic attack symptoms that I’ve described above were more or less what I used to experience. But please be aware that it's sometimes difficult to attempt to describe physical sensations using only words. I’m also quite sure that other sufferers will have encountered different experiences when they come face to face with their panic.
I lived for all too many years with panic and anxiety as my close companions. They ruined my life by taking my love for life and replacing it with constant dread and fear. Panic and anxiety are both curable. I conquered mine and my lust for life returned just like it had never been away.

How to get the most from membership sites
They are everywhere and every marketer is creating them, a lot of them are offeruing low cost trial's of their membership sites but there is only so much time that a person can sit in front of their computer, connected to the internet. I, fortunatekly have a broadband connection and my computer is hooked to the internet 24 hours a day. But at times, when a lot of people are surfing, the connection can become real slow. and yet there are still people that only connect using a dial up account.
so, How can you take advantage of one of these trial accounts for a membership site. one of the many ways is by using an offline browser. When i first take advantage of a new mebership on one of these sites I'll connect with my offline browser which downloads the site to my own computer and then i can surf the site on my own time. When one of these browsers downloads a site to your system it changes all the links so there is no difference from using the site on your own system as opposed to using it while online. except for the fact that on your own system you won't have to worry about surfing the net when everybody else is. The duplicate site on your own system will run much more smoothly and faster. Now one thing to keep in mind is that some of these site's when downloaded could take up a gig of space or more on your own hard drive but usually i transfer these sites to a DVD via my DVD burner.
The only time i'll remain a member to one of these sites after my trial has expired isif I feel that the new posts will be something that i'll benefit from. So far very few have met this criteria but one of the ones i stay a member is the one run by Dan Kennedy. He sends out newsletters both via email and a hard copy once a month in the mail.
I just signed up for one trial tonight which offered a trial mambership for the first month of only a dollar. If I decide to stay a member past the first month the membership is just under $30 per month but if I don't monitor myself these memberships can add up.
The beauty of a trial membership and an offline browser is that once my trial has expired I still have akll the information that was offered for a lower price. I also want to mention that a lot of these marketers never purge their database of the old memberships that don't remain membbers. What this means is that your username and password will still work a year or two later even though you never kept paying a membership fee.
If i had a membership site i would make the password change every month. Give everybody the same password instead of letting them create their own.

Creating A Cash Generating Membership Site (on A Shoestring Budget)
By now you must have heard many online celebrities talking about how you should set-up your own membership site in order to create substantial, automatic profits...month in, year out. Is it all hype or can you really create your own dynamic membership site and get paid $29, $29 or even $97 plus every month?
I'll show you today that creating your own membership site is something that is highly achievable to practically every internet entrepreneur around - and unlike the old days (when setting up membership sites would set you back potentially hundreds of dollars a month) it's not going to deflate your Paypal account a bit.
The Benefits Of Creating Your Own Membership Sites
For a start, consider the age that we are living in - "the information age" - today, people are willing to pay good money for a regular stream of targeted, quality information (or software) in areas that are of interest to them. Sure, a lot of information is available free on the internet but the fact is that places like Google are just jam packed with sites that offer little more than thinly disguised sales pages. It takes forever to find quality information, and with todays lifestyle time is the one commodity that people simply do not have.
The result? They will PAY you for information that hits the spot as long as they get it NOW! This makes the membership site business model highly potent. Consider these advantages & benefits of setting up your own membership sites:
You can exploit your areas of expertise and create a full or part time business simply by disclosing your knowledge/skills into your members site.
A successful & profitable membership site can be started for practically any niche under the sun from rose-gardening to the Mumbai stock market! There are an unlimited number of niches that have markets with prospects that number in the millions.
While members sites used to be for the elite with budgets in excess of thousands of dollars the emergence of quality, mainstream software means that just about anyone can set-up with minimal capital requirements (I mean under $100).
Membership sites enable you to take advantage of residual streams of income - the beauty of this business model is that you can focus on providing tip-top content so that your members continue to deposit monthly subscription fees into your bank account. In effect, you're creating a monthly salary for yourself without the nuisance of having a pathological liar of a boss hovering over your shoulders every two minutes.
Membership sites only increase in value with each passing month. This means the longer your site is open, the more content/products are inside and the more subscriptions you'll receive.
Owners of membership sites are able to use their sites to gain an awful lot of leverage & engineer win-win situations for themselves. The great thing about digital information is that they spit out 100% profit-margins - the cost of producing a members site is negligible but you can use your membership site to trade with other product owners - in this way you can actually get webhosting, graphics, software and even opt-in subscribers free.
While stand-alone eBooks & mini-sites will always have their place, membership sites offer something far more valuable - both to the internet business owner as well as the end user.
What Type Of Niches Can You Set-Up A Membership Site In?
Certain types of niches are simply made for a membership style structure, typically niches with a huge number of potential topics.
The below are just some examples of the types of niches that you could set-up membership sites in:
- Internet marketing related content & products.
- Finance, money, property & stock market.
- Health, beauty & fitness.
- eBay, power-selling & wholesale goods/dropshippers.
- Career development.
- Gardening.
You have to understand that this is a TINY list of the potential possibilities - the fact is you could turn practically any subject matter into a membership-site.
Are There Any Difficulties In Setting-Up A Membership Site?
The main issue with setting up a content based membership site used to be the expense involved with running it. For example, one quite famous option that many people still use has an entry pricing plan of $3500 - that's for one single URL with a maximum of 1000 members and 1000 pages.
Not exactly within the budget of the average internet business entrepreneur!
Don't panic because recently, a couple of classy mainstream membership site creation software have been released that allow you to set-up as many members sites with as much content as you want for a tiny fraction of that (more on that later in case you're interested).
So now that funding is no longer an obstacle let's look at some other potential stumbling blocks that you will need to consider before diving in head-first into your first membership site project:
Can you install the software? This may sound like a silly thing to say - after all the software you can buy come with detailed instructions but some very fresh newbies (ie those that struggle with things like setting up payment links) may struggle to install the software. Even where this is the case, they can of course have the software installed for them for a low fee (typically $20 to $50) via online forums or using services such as elance. Those that can set-up web-pages comfortably should not really struggle too much with software installation.
Can you commit to providing fresh content, resources & value-adding material that will delight your subscribers? Remember, people will be paying you monthly so you have to make sure that you have the time, knowledge and ability to provide them with whatever it is that you're offering.
What Features Should Your Membership Site Have?
Your membership site should function quite smoothly on auto-pilot and you must offer your potential prospects the chance to pay using standard options (in the information field this is typically Paypal).
Here are a few features that you may want to look out for when considering your options RE purchasing membership site software:
-Ability to accept recurring Paypal payments.
- Subscriber should be able to automatically set-up an account with ZERO interaction on your account.
- Once subscriber ends the subscription the members-site should automatically deny them access without any interaction from you (your time is far too valuable for you to be fidgeting with manual things like deleting accounts every few hours).
There should be no limit to the number of websites that you can set-up using the software - or to the amount of content/pages that you can set-up. Once you get the taste of running a membership site you may well want to open another one...and another still - you don't really want to pay separate fees for each new site you create.
Setting up your first membership site will be your biggest challenge. Once you implement a successful first members-site then you'll have the skills and experience to create plenty more in the future - all churning out hundreds of $29 monthly payments like clockwork!
