How To Stop A Panic Attack

Here are 4 basic steps which should help you stop a panic attack:

Step 1) Relax

You need to be able to calm yourself during a panic attack- use whatever means possible- turn on the tv, music- whatever can calm you down

Step 2) Stop Negative Thinking.

Negative thoughts can be highly self destructive. You need to find ways to block out negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts

Step 3) Use Coping Statements.

You need to use positive reinforcement to help your mind realize that you will cope, and that your panic attack is not the end of the world.

Step 4) Accept Your Feelings.

Don’t resign yourself to your feelings and emotions. Accept this is the way you are, but you want to change, and you are going to START NOW!

I have the above steps written down on my wall, and I look at it every day.

Hopefully this may help you too.

The final product I recommend is the Easy Calm video coaching series. This course is extremely interesting and definitely is completely unique in its approach and delivery.

As the name suggests, Easy Cal is a set of video coaching tutorials on panic attacks and anxiety disorders. If you are someone that requires a bit more intereactivy then this product is definitely worth checking out. If anything there is too much information to absorb- however it is fantastic value for money.

All in all a great option if you are someone who is easily distracted, and not so fond of written material.

The Linden Method is another alternative treatment I experimented with when I was suffering from my panic attacks from insomnia.

Charles Linden from the UK designed the program, and it certainly had a more scientific approach. Essentially there is a prt of the brain called the Amygdala, which is responsible for anxiety. If you can learn to control this part of your brain, you can control anxiety and panic attacks.

I have done research on this as an panic attack treatment, and it seems there are many satisfied customers. I personally felt that Panic Away was a easier to follow approach.

I have received a few emails to my review site anxietyattackcures.com about the quality of the products I reccomend, and why I reccomend more than 1 product.

Basically I believe there should be some choice. I personally got great results from Panic Away- and it was certainly unique from any material I had been told by my therapist or indeed read online.

Ultimately therapy had not worked, I had tried medication, so that’s what lead me to online research and ultimately Panic Away.

In terms of results, it is up to the individual and how willing they are to implement the information. I noticed personally that my general anxiety levels began diminishing within 1 week of starting the program- and they continued to reduce over the next 2 months.

Whichever treatment you ultimately seek, you need to be persistent. It is very easy to fall into the trap- and feel you have beaten anxiety, when in fact you have not.

Feel free to post about your anxiety panic attack experiences.

Here are what I feel to be the main contributor’s to an anxiety disorder:

Chemical Imbalance:

It has been shown that certain person’s suffer from a chemical imbalance which can lead to a state of mind being more prevalent. For example, someone who suffer’s from insomnia often suffers from a lack of melatonin- a naturally occuring hormone that is crucial for a regular sleep cycle. It is much the same with anxiety- various hormonal imbalances can cause anxiety to be a bigger issue.

Emotions Being Suppressed:

When people suppress emotions, it ultimately leads to a larger issue. We as humans need to express our emotions and feelings to remain balanced and to not accumulate negative thoughts. It is extremely therapeutic to discuss your emotions with someone.

Mental and Physical Exhaustion:

When the body undergoes any form of stress - mental or physical it results in the body and mind becomin sensitsed and receptive to nervous forms of illness. This again is why it is so important to address any issues as early as possible to prevent them from leading so serious anxiety issues.

Another thing I forgot to mention in my previous post on my own experience with anxiety attack’s is that it is helpful to get reassurance in that an anxiety attack will not hurt or kill you.

This might sound strange, however it has been shown that one of the initial obstacles for people suffering from an anxiety or panic attack is the reoccuring thought that they might be harmed or possibly killed by their anxiety.

This is certainly not true, and I found it quite useful to say to myself each night before going to bed that I would be OK, and that if I did not sleep I would survive the next day.

At the same time it is important to not fall into the trap of relying on such support- either from yourself or a loved one, however it can help to get the ball rolling

When I was first struggling to overcome my panic attacks, I was told something quite valuable by my therapist. It had such an impact on my attitude towards my anxiety issue’s that I thought it was worth mentioning.

Here it is:

It is not the anxiety attack itself which is the problem, it is actually the FEAR of the anxiety attack happening which causes the problem.

Think about that for a minute now. Imagine that you are suffering from panic attack’s because of a confrontation you have had with a work colleague. It is your fear of another encounter which is actually triggering your panic attack- not fear of your colleague.

It is important to differentiate between these feelings as early as possible, and to accept that it is this fear which is causing the problem. Anxiety attack help is always available, but the first real step has to come in the form of acceptance.
