Controlling Panic Attacks - What Measures Can You Take To Overcome Anxiety Disorder?

By Marquis Walls

Controlling panic attacks is intrinsic to a satisfied future if you want to triumph over anxiety disorder. But to be in control, would you prefer to discover how to address each individual attack or would you rather learn the way to stop the panic attacks coming in the 1st place?

So rather than controlling panic attacks, lets have a little think about beating anxiety disorder all together. The only way to do that is to understand what and why an attack happens.

A panic attack is a physical reaction to an adrenalin rush. The adrenalin rush is due to high anxiety. You suffer panic attacks because your 'background' anxiety level is so high, it will only take a little thing to send you over the metaphorical edge.

To get this positively straight - anxiety disorder is a psychological problem, not a sickness or disease, merely a problem about the way in which you think. Panic attacks are a symptom that happen every time you go over the edge.

Your anxiety can be high for any number of reasons but the first part of conquering anxiety disorder is to bring your day by day anxiety levels down. As an example :

If there is something that affects you but you can't change - let it go. Michael Jackson's death is tragic but it won't change your life at all .

If there is something that has an effect on you and you can change it - deal with it. Talk out if someone is bullying you or bothering you. Tell them about it. And remember, the worst that could occur is perhaps not as rotten you think!

If you'd like to overcome anxiety disorder, there's a good chance you fear what other people will think of you. My recommendation is to grasp that the general public don't think about folks that much. It is you which make this a reason for anxiety, not them.

Finally, don't fall into the self-fulfilling cycle of worrying about having another panic attack. This fear will raise your anxiety levels and increase your odds of having another panic attack. The best thing to do is learn how to let go. You can't die of an adrenalin rush nor an attack - so let go of that fear. By doing this you can begin to lower your total anxiety levels. - 32513
