Stop Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are very sudden and intense feelings of anxiety and fear that comes over a person with no apparent reason at all. The symptoms of panic attacks are cause by the rush of adrenaline release into the body’s bloodstream. This release of adrenaline is a bodily response intended as a survival mechanism. It prepares the body to face dangerous situations. However, when the body does this excessively, unnecessarily and too frequently, this can result in a negative impact on the psychological and emotional health of a person.
The thing with panic attacks is that it seems to come out of nowhere. There aren’t any specific external triggers for it. A person could be doing something very common, such as taking the train, going for a walk, or running some errands and suddenly get hit by a panic attack.
The mind will start to believe that the worst things possible will happen regardless of how unlikely it is. Images of the plane crashing, the elevator failing or other crazy situations will fill the mind. Feelings of paranoia and suspicion will also take over.
It is no wonder why people suffering from panic attacks are so affected by this affliction. They live in fear because of it. Panic attacks may come anytime and anywhere, and this has greatly affected their confidence to live their daily lives.
The best way to deal with panic attacks is to face it and not run away from it. Resistance will usually only make the situation worse. Instead, when the panic attack comes, face it with courage allow it to run it’s course. This is an effective way to deal with panic attacks because of the following 2 reasons;
First, it is because fear feeds on fear. The more you fight against or try to avoid a panic attack, the more fear you are letting out. And as you do that you are feeding it and making the panic attack even stronger. However if you face it head on, the attack has nothing to feed on and slowly it’s energy will be drained.
Panic attacks are like roller coaster rides. You’ll notice that when you resist against the movement of the roller coaster, you will be more fearful and anxious. However when you go along with it, it will feel exhilarating. Remember, what you resist persists.
Second, every time you avoid or try to run away from a panic attack, you are only escaping from it until the next time it happens. However if you face the attack head on, accept it and go through it, you will experience the realization that there actually was no real danger at all. You will realize that you have not been harmed in any way whatsoever.
Through coming out of the panic attack unscathed and unharmed you will understand that these panic attacks are just the product of the illusions of danger in your mind. You will know that there actually is no real danger at all. This will give you a sense of relief and the experience will give you confidence to face subsequent panic attacks. By doing this, you are overcoming panic attacks.
