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 are not always curing yourself of agitation , panic or panic attacks but you are stopping it from becoming an uncontrollable problem.

Many people will try to tell you that they can heal your panic, your anxiety, your depression or any other unpleasant feeling you will have. The truth is these emotions are not treatable ; they are natural feelings that are part of our lives. They have a tendency to crop up when the situation warrants.

Your brother dies, you get depressed, you lose your job and you get concerned. This is the way things work. How they do not work is that you get in panic when you're in the produce section because you are uncertain about what to make for dinner or you have anxious feelings when sitting at home with your family or getting your nails done at the salon. These are unusual and unnatural times for nervousness to crop up and for attacks to strike.

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

A panic episode is a scaring and hideous experience. It takes both a physical and psychological toll on your life. As your chest starts to tighten, your breathing becomes more worked and your heart starts to palpitate, you wonder what's going down.

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

These thoughts race thru your intelligence as you struggle to gain control. Imagine if this happened to you frequently or even many times each day. How could you live an ordinary life? The answer's you can't.

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

The fear stops you from driving because what if this happened in the car? The fear stops you from going to dinner with buddies because it could occur while you're out. The fear stops you from taking your kids 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 the time, unable to do things, distracted when interacting with others and unable to focus.
