Panic Attacks - Five Steps to Freedom
Lorraine Mason
A few extracts from letters/emails received
Hi Lorraine, as you know, in 1991, out of nowhere, the terror of panic attacks suddenly struck me, and for eighteen long and torturous months, day and night, fear and terror became my life, if I could call it life, never knowing when the next one would strike. Then I found you. I could never repay the patience and love, care and compassion you gave me, only to write and tell you that now, five years on, and not having had a panic attack since, I am living a life that I once could only dream of, and you were my dream-maker. From the depths of my soul, I thank you."
Ellen/Bolton, June 1998
"Great book, read so many,
this is by far the best."

"I have suffered these attacks on and off for 10 yrs, more on than off. I had to give up my job in the -– service after 25 yrs." – "…when I first started to read it I really cried, I am not sure whether that was relief that I saw someone had gone through everything I had gone through…" – "…I am now up to Step 3, what to do and what not to do in panic attacks, yesterday I wanted to go to the Post Office in the local co op, and do a bit of shopping, this is when I run round before the panic comes, but it invariably does. I went in there and thought ‘slow’ do not hurry, and I have my words now my sanctuary and I was ready with that, I could not believe how I got round there without a full blown panic, I managed really well, and was very proud of myself, so Thank you Lorraine, from the bottom of my heart."

"Dear Lorraine, it takes a very special person with an overwhelming desire to help her fellow man, who is able to use the in-depth knowledge gained from her own personal experience, to give courage, strength and to guide those in absolute fear and utter distress, through the winding, twisting paths of fear and the forest of hell, into pastures of understanding, fulfilment, peace and joy. You are such a person and you did all this for me. I remain, forever grateful."
Madeline/Wigan, May 2002.
"In all the years I have had M.E. and panic attacks, and all the books I have read, this is the best most helpful yet" – "Reading this book, I feel believed, sane and less afraid. Already, I feel stronger reading this book."

"…I should explain first that it is my girlfriend who suffers from panic attacks which she has suffered from for the last seven years and I am reading your book on her advice so I can try to understand what she goes through…" – "It started pretty much how you said you started in your book. She had the same feelings as you and didn’t have a clue what it was or why it was happening." – "She was 17 at the time and had to give up collage" – "my girlfriend is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and it is amazing that she manages to get out of bed in the morning" – "She has really struggled and has even had thoughts about ending it all but a chink of light was found when she saw an article about your book in the Bolton Evening News. She has since bought the book and seems to have gained more confidence and more fight because before there seemed to be no hope." – "I have changed my approach in the last month or so and try to be a lot more supportive and it seems to be working."

"Lorraine, as you know, all my family thought I was a goner. I think even my doctor thought so to. So although I'm not very good with words, I will say, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. – That's a 'Thank you' from every member of my family for helping me get rid of them b….y panic attacks.
PS I hope this note shows that by freeing me from panic attacks. You freed my whole family too. Thanks for everything!"
Frank/ Manchester, April 1995.

"Dear Lorraine, some time ago I was going through a very stressful time. My eyesight was deteriorating. I was worrying myself sick because I thought I was going blind. Then a friend of my friend (you helped her with panic attacks) sent me one of your leaflets explaining the symptoms caused by stress. What a revelation! You explained things so clearly. I was able to understand what had been happening to me. I felt such a big weight lift off my shoulders. I was able to believe my doctor and optician that my failing sight was nothing more than a blip because of stress. I said to my friend, thank goodness your friend once suffered panic attacks and got the article off Lorraine and she said, I agree. Thank you."
Patricia/Glasgow, May 1996.
"I have had panic attacks for 30 yrs." – "I told
my brother and he has not spoke to me
since." – "Through your book I can now go in
lifts which I would never do before"
