panic attack cure

The first thing to remember during anxiety panic attacks is that you are not crazy! You can control the symptoms but first you must learn how. It may seem as though these attacks come out of nowhere, with no rhyme or reason. Perhaps you wake up drenched in sweat with butterflies in your stomach, worrying that your partner may choose someone else over you. Maybe you will be making a cup of tea and your arm starts to tingle, you find it hard to breathe and you feel weird and nervous and thirsty. Understand that there is always a trigger whether you realize it or not. Once you train yourself to identify these triggers, you’ll be able to conquer everyday worries like a champ.

Many Americans wonder what the difference between healthy worry and chronic worry is. On one hand, California writer Dr. Beverly Potter explains, “Think of it as a mental fire drill, a ‘thinking through’ of things that potentially might happen. It’s good to think over what could happen and to have a contingency plan. That is what productive and effective people do.” Yet, on the other hand, panic anxiety worrying can become a kind of “stuckness,” where worrywarts “get stuck identifying danger as they immerse themselves in a dread associated with the threat, which may be real or — more likely — imagined.”

As self-ascribed worrywart Woody Allen once said, “If I get chapped lips, I think it’s brain cancer.” Anxiety panic attacks sufferer Mark Twain added, “There has been much tragedy in my life — and at least half of it actually happened.” Tom Wilson told his audience, “I try not to worry about the future — so I just take it one anxiety attack at a time.” Vanessa Marcil indicated that sometimes the smallest things can create panic attack anxiety, saying, “I don`t know any woman who doesn’t have an anxiety attack about wearing a bathing suit. I was on the show [General Hospital," 1963] for two years before they got me to wear a bathing suit and I almost had a heart attack the whole time.”

The wise Dali Lama once said, “If there is a solution to a problem, there is no need to worry. And if there is no solution, there is no need to worry.” He says that, rather than drift into anxiety panic attacks, individuals must focus on the solution, not the problem, and sometimes accept that there may be no solution. A common Christian prayer may help people reaffirm this: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
