Panic Attack Help

Archive for December, 2008

I usually have attacks when I have to speak publicly, talk on the phone, await an appointment… What can be done to take my mind off of the situation?

I would try relaxation , breathing exercises. Breathe through your nose slowly and deeply, and then slowly out through your mouth. I would see your GP for further advice as proper treatment may be required. Take time to relax, especially in the evening. shallow breathing, casued by panic attacks often makes the attack worse, a catch 22 situation, so try breaking the link by breathing more deeply.

I often try imagining I am somewhere esle during periods of stress. For example, do the breathing exercises while imaging you are sitting on a beach on holiday in the sunshine, etc.

I want to know if there are any other “cures” for anxiety attacks besides exercising, and using drugs. I know therapy is supposed to help too, but anything else besides those things?

Anxiety is self-created.

Nobody imposes anxiety. It is neither inherited.

It is you, who have loaded heavy anxiety on your small head. Unknowingly you must have added the weight slowly. Now the weight is more and unbearable. You should now know how to unload that weight of anxiety. Unloading is also to be done slowly and steadily. It cannot be done overnight.

Analyze how you have loaded this anxiety on your body. This anxiety comes due to unnecessary, unwanted and undeserving desires which we start developing. When the desire is not getting fulfilled, one gets frustration. Frustration leads to worry. Worry leads to anger. Anger leads to indecision or wrong decisions. One becomes restless. Mind becomes stressed. One does not get proper sleep. Then we try several methods to come out of it. We commit more mistakes by thinking that drugs and alcoholic drinks may reduce the tension. Sleeplessness leads to mental functioning getting affected. Mental upset, mental disorder. Our efficiency goes down. Our effectiveness goes down. Our memory weakens. More and more anxiety comes. We become a laughing stock before others. We take loans and we are not able to pay back in proper time. Family is worried and affected.

Can you now please see what is the origin of this anxiety. Cut the source now itself. Then only you can come out of this trouble.

I have panic attacks and anxiety when i'm in public and in big groups. What are some ways i can calm down?

You can visit your doctor to see whether anti-anxiety medication is an option. My panic attacks are at night which prevents me from sleeping so I have been prescribed Tamazepam. This may not be an option for you during the day but there are many medications out there that you and your doctor can discuss. For more natural solutions visit a homeopath or you can take Bachs flower remedy which can be useful, I take it before meetings and it does work although I am left with a headache approx. one afterwards. Breathing techniques can help as can meditation as you will be able to take you to a more comfortable zone in your head. Good luck.

I worry excessively and have been having panic attacks. No one can calm me down, even my boyfriend who I love more than anything. I get scared and worry so much that it is almost like I stopped living. I want to live my life and not waste it. I need some advice. I try not to worry and everything but it just doesn't work. Can anyone help me? I need to know what I can do to relax too. Please help

Thinking is a FUNCTION of your mind. The purpose of your mind is to keep you alive and to make you happy. To do this your mind is constantly on the lookout for things that might harm or kill you or things that might make you unhappy. Notice I said 'might.'

Your mind is a problem solver and is constantly looking for problems to solve (how to keep you alive and happy). Unfortunately (as in excessive worrying) when there are no real problems to solve the mind just makes something up to keep busy. If you not feeling happy your mind will look for a reason why you're not happy and then just keep trying to solve the problem to make you happy. It becomes a viscous circle.

You think you have no control over your thinking, but you are forgetting that YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS DOING THE THINKING. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE NOT REAL….THEY ARE ONLY THOUGHTS.

Please read Richard Carlson's book "You Can Be Happy No Matter What." Carlson gives advice on taking control of your thoughts. You can control what you think about and it is not that difficult.

One thing that can help calm you down when your thoughts are out of control or you are worrying too much is using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Emotional Tapping. In EFT you apply gentle acupressure tapping to specific body points to release blocked emotions (like anxiety). EFT is easy to learn (you can learn the basics in 15-30 minutes). You can use EFT anytime, anywhere for any emotional or physical issue. One basic round of EFT takes about one minute.

Please download the FREE EFT Instructional manual from the EFT website (www.emofree.com).

I learned how to use EFT last year and now use it everyday. A couple of minutes of EFT tapping really RELAXES me and helps me stay calm and centered.

medicine,paperbag,walking,crying?

Panic attacks come in various forms. You did not mention your symtoms. If it is extreme pain, breathe into a paper bag. The best thing to do is find the root cause of these attacks and eliminate it.

Hi i do meth on occasion since 2006 from then ive been doing it about once every 4 months since. I also have panic attacks and anxiety which started in november, i had anxiety since before the useage. I just wanted to know if usage like that can cause severe anxiety and panic attacks.

YES, it can cause that and worst. Paranoia at all times, panic attacks, anxiety, non-alertness, halucinations.
Meth is the most destructive drug that I know of, it is even worse than crack (depending on the strength of the meth) Believe me, that little bit of usage will lead to more as well, which will increase all likely hood of having those symptoms permanatly.
The good news is if you manage to quit the symptoms shouldn't stay with you. Those will manifest with long time usage and you will keep them for the rest of your life and require medicines to calm them.
I used to do it in the Rave scene in New Orleans around 1996-2000. I quit and I managed to not have those feeling anymore.
