The Anxious Person's Guide Managing Panic Attacks

Are you a ball of anxiety all the time? Do you go through life avoiding certain situations because you just can't take the red face, the racing heartbeat and the trembling, sweaty hands? Well you don't have to live that way any longer. By using a few simple techniques, you can get through life just like everyone else. Some people try to cure their anxiety by taking certain pharmaceutical drugs. But that's not curing the situation at all. It's only treating the symptoms of something much deeper that's going on. Thankfully, these tips are going to help you not only get rid of the anxiety and the symptoms associated with it, but you'll also get to the root of the problem which will erase these feelings from your life forever.

Write Everything Down

If you are a man and the thought of keeping a diary seems 'girly' to you, call it a journal. And if you are a woman and you haven't kept a diary since you were younger, then there's no better time to pick it back up. When you write down your thoughts and emotions, you are forced to deal with them in an in-your-face manner. When you record everything that happens to you during the day, and also the things that bring on your feelings of anxiety, you can often start to see things as not as serious as you once thought they were. This can really help you rid yourself of these anxious tendencies and focus on what really matters in life.

Talk to People

Oftentimes, anxious people are so afraid to tell people things because we're embarrassed about what they may think. This is nonsense. If people think that way about us, then we don't need them around. Instead, talk to your friends and loved ones about what you're feeling. Tell them about your anxiety and your possible panic attacks, and ask them for advice. Sometimes, hearing things from another person's perspective can really help us determine exactly what's bothering us. So open up to others. You never know what you may learn about yourself.

Meditate

When you meditate, you completely drown out the world and you lose your ego. This exposes your subconscious mind allowing you to program it with more positive thoughts. Therefore, whenever you are meditating, bring your mind to places that you'd love to be. Places like the beach, or going out with friends, or spending time with your family at a theme park, etc. When you think of these happy thoughts whenever you are meditating, you will actually calm yourself down, even when you aren't meditating. That means the more you practice this, the less anxiety will affect you.

If you practice these tips every chance you get, eventually you won't be bothered by anxiety or panic attacks, no matter how severe you now have it. You don't need prescription drugs and you likely don't need a therapist. You only need some know how, some patience, and a willingness to try new things until you find exactly the thing that works. Some day you'll be able to get through life without feeling anxious. But until that time comes, you'll have to work for it using the tips we just discussed as well as any others you may come up with.

There is a technique out there that will work specifically for you. You only have to find it. So start with these, and if these don't do it, move onto something else until you are once more calmer, more at peace with yourself, and anxiety free.
