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

By Royce Meyer

Controlling panic attacks is fundamental to a cheerful future if you would like to overcome anxiety disorder. But to be in control, would you rather find out how to deal with each individual attack or would you prefer to learn the way to stop the panic attacks coming in the first place?

So instead of controlling panic attacks, lets have a little think about beating anxiety disorder all together. The best way to do that is to understand what and why an attack occurs.

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

To get this positively straight - anxiety disorder is a mental problem, not an illness or illness, merely a problem about the way you think. Panic attacks are a symptom that occur every time you go over the edge.

Your anxiety can be high for any quantity of reasons but the 1st part of overcoming anxiety disorder is to bring your day by day anxiety levels down. For example :

If there is something that affects you but you cannot change - let it go. Michael Jackson's death is tragic but it won't change your life in any way.

If there's something that can affect you and you can change it - do something about it. Talk out if somebody is bullying you or bothering you. Tell them about it. And remember, the worst that might occur is maybe not as bad as you think!

If you would like to overcome anxiety disorder, there is a good chance you fear what folks will think of you. My advice is to appreciate that most of the people don't think about other people that much. It is you that make this a reason for anxiety, not them.

Finally, don't fall into the self-fulfilling cycle of troubling 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 find out how to let go. You cannot die of an adrenalin rush nor an attack - so let go of that fear. By doing this you can start to lower your general anxiety levels. - 32530
