find two true stories of survivors against the odds of elements?
A story is about the strength and perseverance of the human spirit. I need two true stories of survivors against the odds of elements. Short story is more suitable- about an newspapers article long. I need it asap. THANKS!
the stories must involve perseverance of the human spirit
can you all just paste the article on if possible
One such story involves a 1972 plane crash in the Andes mountains. The plane was carrying a Rugby team. Of the 45 passengers, 16 were found alive 10 weeks after the crash. After a dramatic crash into snowy mountains the 32 survivors of the initial crash, with little food or warm clothing (it was Spring where they had departed from), took shelter in the plane’s fuselage. Of those 32 initial survivors, however, several of course were injured and would not make it. Ultimately, those who were still alive came to the conclusion that, if they were to have any hope of staying alive, they had to eat, and they resorted to cannibalism, eating the meat of those who had died before them. While that aspect of the story probably held the most…fascination…for others when the story unfolded that’s just one aspect of their survival. An avalanche, for example, killed many of the survivors while they all slept in the fuselage one night. They couldn’t go looking for help because there was no way they could survive the exposure, but eventually they figured out how to fashion insulated sleeping bags using insulation from the tail of the plane. About two months into their ordeal, two of the survivors went on a trek looking for help; eventually they came across some people and were able to communicate with them to let the rest of the world know they had survived. They were rescued shortly thereafter.
I’m sure there are articles you can find online if you’re interested; while it may be too long to be of any help to you today, you should check out the book by Piers Paul Read sometime (the book is called "Alive"), it’s an amazing story.
Symptoms during panic attacks?
I have GAD and currently in the process of changing my meds. and have been having panic attacks everyday. im just wondering if these symptoms are normal for panic or if there something else. I get heaviness that radiates from my face, to my shoulders to my legs. it feels like these body parts get so heavy, and ive never expierenced that before. i dont want to call the doctor just yet, because im such a hypochondriac. so pleas anyone who has had these symptoms, or if you think its something worth going and getting checked out. thanks
You said…. im just wondering if these symptoms are normal for panic or if there something else. I get heaviness that radiates from my face, to my shoulders to my legs. it feels like these body parts get so heavy, and ive never expierenced that before.
Get a second opinion, I did because I wasn’t happy. It turned out to be the best thing that I’d done because the first lot of medication were giving me side affects. I’m much better now I’ve changed.
Good luck.
Can I overcome Panic Disorder without medication?
I have recently been diagnosed with Panic Disorder, and the psychiatrist put me on a low dose of lexapro, while saying people get over this without medication, but it sounded like I wanted it (I don’t think I ever said that). I don’t want to have to rely on medication for the rest of my life, and I’m getting the sexual side effects, which is really sucking. I was wondering if anyone has overcome this without medication, just therapy, and how hard it was. Or if anyone has done it with medication, or both. Advice from people with experience is preferred, or professionals.
Thanks
A proven way to beat panic disorder and anxiety is through neurofeedback therapy also known as EEG biofeedback. Do the research using keywords "neurofeedback and panic disorder or anxiety". It is safe with no side effects and really works. The only negative is that it takes 10- 15 sessions but after that you should see some major results. To read more click on my webpage below.

I am on Lexapro 10mg now. I have gained 25 pounds in a year. I have been trying to lose weight for about 2 months now. I can not lose an ounce. I have cut out all pop, exercise for an hour and a half a day, eat really good. So, now I know its my medicine. I really need some kind of medicine. Any advice?
I have been on Lexapro a long time, and gained a lot of weight. I heard that Wellbutrin often causes weight loss so I discussed this with my psychiatrist. She told me that Wellbutrin is good for depression, but that it will make anxiety worse. So be careful what you agree to take. My psych. did mention something about Pristiq, but I have yet to switch from Lexapro.
