How To Beat Panic Disorder In The Short And Long Term

Do you know what it takes to beat panic disorder? I'm not talking about short term relief, but long term relief so that you can go on living a great life, happy and content free of panic and anxiety. If you don't, then you are in the right place, because that is exactly what I plan to cover with you today, if you are willing to listen.

Understanding Anxiety

Without going too much into specifics, Anxiety and Panic Attacks are related to feelings of worry or uncertainty that trigger a release of adrenaline into your blood system, and cause a feeling of extreme fear. Whilst many people around the world actually thrive on the feeling that you get when adrenaline begins to flow through your blood stream, when it is due to a feeling of fear, generally this causes what is referred to as being a "fight or flight" mechanism.

Controlling Anxiety

Although it is very easy to say that to beat panic disorder you need to simply control the thoughts that cause adrenaline to be released into your blood system, most anxiety sufferers simply do not realize exactly what feelings are causing their attacks. Even in instances where a sufferer is aware of what thoughts cause panic and anxiety, often these very thoughts are extremely hard to face.

The key in most instances is to be able to find a way to keep calm when ever you have an attack using short-term relief methods such as slow deep breathing. Based on good advice from a qualified GP or Psychologist, you may also rely on medication to initiate calm as well. Once you have calm, you will have a greater level of control over your thoughts, and will be able to understand them much better.

How To Beat Panic Disorder

The key when it comes to getting past panic and anxiety long term is to understand that the very thoughts and emotions that cause panic are just thoughts, and can't hurt you or endanger your life. This can be difficult, as often we have little or no control over how these thoughts can affect things such as the release of adrenaline into our blood stream, which certainly makes things a little more difficult. The key at the end of the day is to try and initiate calm, so that you can be with your thoughts, interpret them, and understand them better.

You then need to understand that all thoughts that are negative or initiate fear are fueled by our current circumstances. This is where the ideal way to beat panic disorder is to initiate life change. Only you will understand what changes need to be made in your life, I can not advise you of this, as all situations are different with all sufferers.

Many millions of people over the world currently suffer with anxiety and panic, and whilst many of them manage to beat panic disorder, many others have a great deal of trouble regardless of the amount of advice they receive. This is a serious situation to be in, so please do not discount the importance of speaking to your doctor, so that you can get the best help possible at the end of the day.
