Panic attacks usually occur suddenly when you don't expect them. During such times, you will be ill-prepared to handle them.
You might be busy with some work or might be having fun with friends. Suddenly, you get a panic attack!
You may find yourself become fearful of engaging in those activities in which panic attack struck.
Good news for you is that, the even, place or activity may not have anything to do with the happening of panic attack.
So, you do not need to avoid those situations or places. You can go on living as usual.
If you live as usual and don't let panic attacks hamper your life in any way, soon they will lose their power and will stop troubling you.
The initial courage may be the difficult to muster up. For this reason, do not try to take big steps to tackle your problem.
Take small mini-steps in order to tackle and overcome panic attacks. If you are afraid of going shopping, then don't go alone. Take a friend with you who is fully aware of your problem.
Keep with you any anti-anxiety pills you might be taking (ofcourse with doctor consultation). This would help you feel a little more comfortable to visit those places where you fear another panic attack.
Just don't try to go alone. Trying to become too brave all of a sudden may backfire at you. Be patient, and try to take little courageous steps in the right direction.
Keep reminding yourself whenever you can that panic attacks are not dangerous. You get a feeling as if you are about to have a heart attack. But that is just a feeling - you are not having a real heart attack.
I haven't come across reports of people dying from panic attacks. So, it is safe to assume that they are not dangerous. We only perceive them to be.
You will feel a little safer in this knowledge. You will now know that even if another attack happens, it will soon end up and you probably won't be hurt in the process.
So start taking baby steps which help in increasing your courage. Try, little by little, to attempt things which you dread. But make sure not to go for big things now.
After some time, you may no longer fear panic attacks. At this point, they may fade away on their own!
Avoid taking pills or medication for this problem, as much as you can. Consult a doctor before taking any pills, and only take them when absolutely necessary.
It is better to opt for natural treatments or behavior therapy in order to overcome panic attacks. These kinds of treatment are better in the long run as pills can cause health problems. - 30437
