Controlling Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Over the course of my 14 plus years of having an Anxiety disorder, I have read so much information and learned so many techniques to control my anxiety and panic attacks. The techniques are very simple to use, and will provide relief very quickly. When you have a anxiety disorder, you literally do not know how to control your mind, or body. You are in such a state of fear, and fright that every thought and reaction is concentrated on your physical symptoms, and dreadful thoughts. Living life in this way is not only terrifying, but it is unhealthy. Constant stress, worry, and tension can lead to medical problems later in life. Over time, the stress, worry, and tension takes a toll on you physically.

Changing your thought process, and reactions to these thoughts is very important. If you don't, your negative reactions, and response, will intensify your symptoms. This will make it harder and harder to live a normal life every day. Your negative thoughts, and symptoms, will only become more frequent, and become more debilitating. The exhaustion that comes with an Anxiety Disorder is very overwhelming. After I had a panic attack, I was mentally and physically worn out and tired. It took all my energy to get through a panic attack, and then I would feel even more fatigued waiting and wondering when the next panic attack was going to come.

I'm going to provide a huge amount of information here on LivingWithAnxiety.com to help you get through this. As I have already provided resources of how, when and where to get help on my website, I want to now provide you with the actual life skills, knowledge, tips, and ways to have control over your mind and body again. So let's begin on a path to wellness!

Controlling a Panic Attack:

When a panic attack hits you, the first thing you need to know and learn is to stop these emotions and feelings before they intensify. Panic attacks come on so quickly, and intensify so quickly, that you only have a matter of seconds to stop these attacks. At the very moment you feel any symptom come into play, or have a feeling (or thought) that you believe will lead to a panic attack, the first thing you need to do is close your eyes. (Not hard, but just softly.) Take a few soft light breaths and let the thought, fear, or symptoms pass. Don't fight it, or try to push it away. The more you try to fight it, or fear your symptoms, the more control you will lose over how intensified they get. You must learn to accept it. As you sit (or stand) with your eyes closed and breathing softly, begin to take control. Take control of your thoughts. Feel the symptoms pass, but think, "I am fine! I am not crazy. This is real. I am in control. This is my body, and I am fine. I accept this for now, it is just my mind playing tricks on me. I am fine." Once you accept your fears and symptoms, you will, at the first thought or feeling of a panic attack, have control! Enough control to stop the panic attack and take control over your mind and body again.

Breathing:

When I said above to breathe softly, I am sure some of you are thinking ok, “how do I do that?” Very simple. Use your belly (not your chest) to breathe. Inhale through your nose, and let it out through your mouth. Do this again and again, until you have control over your breathing. If you try breathing only through your mouth, and trying to do this quickly, you are only making it harder to breathe, and harder to relax your chest muscles. When you breathe in this way, it causes you to feel dizzy and disoriented. You must learn to slow your breathing down. This is where control comes in. While you are letting your symptoms pass, and not concentrating on them, you should focus on breathing correctly. Don't think of the negative. Don't fight the symptoms. Let the symptoms pass freely and concentrate on breathing slowly, and softly, at the first feeling of panic.

Relaxation:

This is a topic that is as important as controlling your attacks. If, after your first panic attack, you are not promoting relaxation in your life, you will not be able to concentrate on yourself and your well being. There are many forms of relaxation. Mediation, Yoga, Music, the list goes on. You should find something that you feel will be most relaxing for you. It is a must to find time to relax, reflect, and energize your mind, body and spirit. Just going to a quite place and simply closing your eyes, and not thinking about anything but yourself and your well being for at least 20 minutes a day is a must. You may say you don't have time, because you work, or you have children, or your just to busy. These are life situations that you must work around. You would not go days without eating, because you were to busy. No, you find time to eat. You must schedule a time in your life everyday to reduce stress, negative thoughts, and relax your muscles.

Life Situations:

There is no known reason, in particular, what causes Anxiety Disorders and Panic Attacks, but there are several ideas on what can trigger Anxiety Disorders, and Panic Attacks.

1. Genetics
2. Chemical Imbalance
3. Drugs
4. Life Changes
5. Stress and Tension

These are just to name a few.

If you are experiencing Anxiety and Panic Attacks, you should reflect on your life now, and in the past. This may not be able to show you exactly what triggered your attack when it came on, but it can be a real eye opener in the way you lead your life. Consider the situations in your life that are the most stressful.

Maybe:

• Death of a Loved One
• Work
• Parenting
• Unhealthy Marriage/Relationship
• A Big Move at Work, or Home
• Health Problems

You should really review your life, and take in consideration that there might be a situation on the back burner that has been very stressful. This way you can recognize it and possibly get help.

Sometimes just living an unhealthy life can be a trigger.

Things Like:

• Bad Diet
• Smoking
• Anger
• Drugs

Just to name a few.

Any one of these could make you a candidate for an Anxiety Disorder. Please take the tips I have provided and really implement them into your life. I promise they will help. Again, I will say knowledge is power. The more you know about you and your anxiety disorder, the quicker the path to recovery.

To your Health,

I am like so many of you in search of a solution to our constant battle with anxiety

Are you tired of Panic Attacks? Well let me tell you, I could not go another day with the Panic Attacks!!!

And then I came across the Video below. Does this video below sound like you?

Well it was me.

Then I came across Joe Barry's program, Panic Away, which claims to have helped over 42,000 people overcome their panic attacks and constant anxiety. Just like so many other products, Barry's product Panic Away promises it can show you how to stop having panic attacks totally, but can this be true?

What is the secret?

I will save you hours of searching online for a panic attack solution and give you the answer up front.

Joe Barry’s Panic Away program is the secret!

Panic Away has taught me to break the cycle of anxiety and return to normal everyday living.

How has Joe Barry developed such an incredible program? Because he has been in our shoes. He suffered from panic attacks.

What makes his program so great is he understands what Anxiety is.

I highly recommend you try Joe Barry’s Panic Away guide. Panic Away is not a pill that you have to take the rest of your life. It solves the root cause of panic attacks.
