Panic Attacks And Anxiety Disorder – How To Overcome Them

December 14th, 2009 anxman Leave a comment Go to comments

We live in a stressful world these days, and so it’s hardly a surprise that so many people suffer from acute forms of anxiety. In fact, a significant amount of people need to find ways of overcoming panic attacks on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I had this problem also, and the doctors could do absolutely nothing to stop my anxiety attacks. To stop my panic attacks, I sought a solution myself, and that was to take control of my thoughts and mind again, and not to rely on prescription drugs, which can only ever really be a short term measure.

Of course, “myself” didn’t necessary mean that I needed to invent the methods on overcoming panic attacks. So, what did I do? Well, I searched the Internet for methods of getting rid of panic disorder and, as expected, I found tons of stuff. A heavy chunk of it was useless stuff like “breathing techniques” or “brown bag techniques” or “happy thoughts” techniques that were meant to cope with anxiety, not get rid of it. But then I came across a method that was bold and confrontative, one that made you face your fears and destroy them. It is what stopped my anxiety episodes.

The key point in the method was to understand that anxious thoughts pop up in the minds of everybody, not just panic disorder sufferers. So, the important question is then what makes us sufferers different from those non-sufferers? They don’t have the same reaction as we do to the same situations. When an anxious thought comes to our mind, our body reacts to it intensely. And when our body reacts to it so strongly, we feel the need to examine that thought even closer, which makes our bodies react even stronger. The people who don’t have anxiety attacks symptoms don’t examine the thought so closely because they don’t react that much to it. And when they don’t react much to it, they don’t examine it closely! See the “cycle of fear” that makes the attacks so persistent and strong? Event A happens, event B happens because of it; and then event A gets stronger because of event B. What you need to do is break this cycle.

Remember, it is NOT a case of “trying not to think anxious thoughts”, rather tone down the way in which you process them so that the attack can’t get a foothold. The best way to adjust and tone down your reactions is by a method called “Observe – Label – Watch – Go On”. What you do in this method is to merely observe the anxious thoughts as they are flowing through your mind and making you react. However, in this method you are trying not to react – you are observing the thought, labeling it (identifying what it is), watch the reactions your body gives, and merely go on with your life.

Doing this a couple of times will help you tone down your reactions to the anxious thoughts and will greatly help you in overcoming panic attacks.
