European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 20, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse Sunday october 20, 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 dear Ann Landers 1 am writing in the Hope that my letter will provide con fort and encouragement to others who Are suf Fering As i once did. From childhood i experienced episodes of panic. I Felt like i was suffocating and that my heart was going o burst from racing or skipping beats or i was going to Fain from a fear i could t understand. I had no idea Why i had these feelings. I was sure icy were symptoms of some serious illness Bui no doctor could find any thing wrong with me. I ended up several times in Hospital emergency rooms where i would be Given a Tranquili ing injection and told to Calm these attacks would Hil me sometimes three or four limes a Day. I used to Wake up sweating screaming gasping for air. And believe it or not 1 managed to function through All this. I was never without a Job and made excellent Money. I have had comfortable Long term relationship with men close relationships with members of my family and an Active social life. When i turned 25, 1 could no longer Tol Erate those disabling episodes. They were becoming More intense and More frequent. I did t want to see a psychiatrist for fear i might be branded crazy but i knew it was my Only Chance to recover. I was extraordinarily Lucky to find a wonderful psychoanalyst on the first try. It took More than two years bul she and i worked together and guess what those dreadful episodes stopped and 1 mean completely a still seems like a Miracle. 1 Sec her regularly to work on other prob lems bul what is remarkable is that the symptoms Hal drove me to seek help in the first place Ore Long gone though they had bothered me since childhood. It is essential that people who suffer from this problem Sec someone trained in psycho analysis. It s expensive and time con suming but if you have Good medical insurance and Don t mind spending the time to become a healthy Well adjusted person it can be a live Saver. Recovered in s. Jersey dears what you have described Are anxiety attacks. More than a million americans mostly women have them. Often these attacks evolve into an illness called agora phobia. Or. David v. Sheehan at Massachusetts Hospital in Boston said 70 percent of the people suffering from this problem saw More than 10 physicians before they were diagnosed correctly. Some authorities say these out of the Blue attacks Are caused by a Blo chemical abnormality of the nervous system which is usually inherited. Drug therapy in these cases is highly effective. Other authorities recommended psycho analysis who Chi you describe As your god Send. Several experts Are in favor of both treatments. Many years ago i suggested two books by or. Claire Weekes Hope and help for the nems and peace from nervous thousands of people wrote to Tell me these books cured them of agora phobia even though Many did not even know the name of the illness. Or. We was the first person to my knowledge to write about this illness. Her books Shoum be available to your tit tym Good Bookstore. They were published by ban Lam publishers 666 fifth , new Vork . 10103. Ia�0frs. Wii Hino Lowelle to Newl America set Btl visitors passes come from commander not cafes recently my Mother visited me for sever Al months. I was told that i could get a Pav. For her to enter the base Exchange and commissary with me while i was shopping. I prepared the paperwork and submitted it. To my Surprise she was allowed in the commissary but not the Exchange. When i asked Why i was told that she had to be an american citizen. This sounded strange to me As the commissary is government oper ated and the Exchange is not. First this policy of double standards Slinks. There is one Standard if your parents arc Lucky enough to be . Citizens and another policy if they arc not. My suggestion to cafes is if you can not be fair to All military pertaining to visiting parents dam i allow tiny visiting parents in. Calherine Margetis As Germany thank you gis last week i had the Chance to attend the Cooper cud exorcise at Range 301 in the Grafen Wocher training area. Many thoughts passed through my mind As i watched such an awesome demonstration of firepower and Intra Scricc coordination. The artillery the cobra helicopters the Nils the Brad c s and the f-l6s All worked with absolute precision. Al thai moment i wished that More Ger mans could Sec such an exercise especially those who think Hal we Don t need the american forces in Germany the ones who complain about everything. After seeing such a demonstration of advanced firepower tanks aircraft and team work it made me realize How important and necessary it is to have our american allies Here in Germany and throughout Europe. I Reali cd that the . Forces arc Here to protect us in Case of War. Al the end of the exercise 1 had tears in my eyes because of the Effort the . Forces put out to guard our Freedom. At the same time i was ashamed about my fellow natives in Ger Many who show so Little appreciation. Instead of taking it for granted that America is going to bail us it in Case of War we All should be much More supportive to our allies and friends. Thai s Why i would like to Lake the Opportunity to thank each Soldier in the . Forces serving in Germany for their Effort to protect my fatherland which i love so very much. Again thank you Alt Sulci cars and families for being Here. Thank you for serving in Germany. God bless America Ingrid a. Slaick Grafen Tahr Germany editor s not of Asfur sol.

It s clarify this aspect army Community and air Force base command ers or heir designated representatives Issue authorization letters o sponsors who hate family members Miling from the states. Restrictions on who s Autho Edwin mouse Meese criticized the views of attorney general Hildwin Mcnese on the Miranda ruling have me Wor ried. He feels the Miranda ruling is wrong and Only helps guilty defendants. Yet he also thinks thai suspects who Are innocent of a crime should be Able to have a lawyer pre sent during questioning a suspect has the right to have a lawyer present during questioning. Period if or. Mess has the ability to Tell a guilty suspect from an innocent one we can do away with the courts. But or. Meese does t need the ability to select innocence from guilt if a person is innocent of a crime then he is not a suspect i acknowledge the need for increased Law and order. However i Hope our attorney general has not lost sight of the purpose of our judicial system. David a. Alien Sci Inikon Greece he has a few preposterous ideas this letter has found its motivation through the recent proposal to hold manufacturers and dealers of certain handguns responsible for criminals use of such weapons in their crimes. In response to this i would like to Sug Gest a few other preposterous ideas. How about holding the manufacturers and dealers of rope responsible when the criminal ties up his victim let s not forget the automobile manufacturer or car dealers when the criminal snatches his victim away and transports him to some Back City Street or some Iso lated area in the country. We can t forget to prosecute the Farmer the real estate Agency or the Bank who finances the land where some sick individual commits his crime. What about the crimes on the cily streets How do we put the cite in prison How about the companies who make the knives we All have in our House How do you put a tree in prison when a person hits someone else with a 2x4 or a baseball Bat the whole idea of holding a manufacturer or a dealer of weapons or anything else responsible for a crime is absurd. We might As Well go ahead and make our reservations now for the cell Well probably someday occupy. This is not a viable solution for the Inadequacy of our judicial system. Dit id a.
