Panic Attacks - The Key To Dealing With Anxiety Attacks Is To Nip Them In The Bud

By Linda Buechting

By attacking the attacks before it becomes a genuine problem, you aren't always curing yourself of agitation , panic or panic attacks but you are preventing it from becoming an unmanageable problem.

Many folks will try to tell you that they can sort out your panic, your anxiousness, your depression or any other unpleasant feeling you will have. The reality is these emotions are not treatable ; they are natural feelings that are a part of our lives. They tend to crop up when the situation warrants.

Your brother dies, you get depressed, you lose your job and you get anxious. This is the way things work. How they do not 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 bizarre and peculiar 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 physical and emotional reactions that are cropping up at inconvenient times. But first, a little here about some of the disorders, phobias and conditions that can lead to such overwhelming agitation and interruption 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 respiring becomes more labored and your heart starts to palpitate, you wonder what's happening.

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

These thoughts race through your intellect as you struggle to gain control. Imagine if this happened to you often or many times a day. How could you live a normal 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 are so scary that you can spend the rest of the time when you aren't having an attack, worrying about when you're going to have one.

The fear prevents you from driving because what if this happened in the car? The fear stops you from going to dinner with buddies because it could happen while you're out. The fear forestalls you from taking your youngsters to the park because what would happen if you get in panic while out with your kids.

Soon the worry so meddles 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.
