Panic Attacks - The Key To Working With Anxiety Attacks Is To Pinch Them In The Bud

By Marie D. Tracy

By attacking the attacks before it becomes a real problem, you aren't always curing yourself of nervousness , panic or panic attacks but you are stopping it from becoming an uncontrollable problem.

Many of us will try to tell you that they can heal your panic, your anxiousness, your depression or any other unpleasant feeling you may have. The reality is these emotions aren't treatable ; they're natural feelings that are part of our lives. They tend to crop up when the situation warrants.

Your brother dies, you get depressed, you be laid off and you get concerned. This is the way things work. How they don't work is that you get in panic when you are in the produce section because you're uncertain about what to make for dinner or you have concerned feelings when sitting at home with your folks or getting your nails done at the salon. These are unusual and freakish times for anxiety to crop up and for attacks to strike.

Controlling these kinds of reactions is the focus. There are tools you to address some of the physical and emotional reactions that are cropping up at inconvenient times. But first, a little here about some of the afflictions, phobias and conditions that can lead to such overwhelming agitation and disruption of your life.

A panic attack is a scaring and horrible experience. It takes both a physical and mental toll on your life. As your chest starts to tighten, your breathing becomes more labored and your heart starts to palpitate, you wonder what's taking place.

Your gut tightens, your muscles ache, you begin to get dizzy and light headed. The disorientation and physical sensations coursing through your body are shocking. Are you dying? Are you having a heart attack? Is this the end?

These thoughts race thru your mind as you struggle to take control. Imagine if this happened to you often or many times per day. How could you live a normal life? The answer is you can't.

What's worse is the anticipatory fear of having a panic attack can be even more paralyzing. They are so scary that you can spend the rest of the time when you are not having an attack, troubling about when you are going to have one.

The fear prevents you from driving because what if this happened in the car? The fear prevents you from going to dinner with mates as it could happen while you are out. The fear stops you from taking your youngsters to the park because what would occur if you get in panic while out with your children.

Shortly the worry so interferes with your life that your life is unrecognizable. You are afraid all of the time, unable to do things, distracted when interacting with others and unable to focus.
