Panic Attack Self Treatment - 3 Important Improvements, Don't Let It Take Over Your Life
A panic attack can be very hard. Especially if you let him control your life and avoid situations for fear of another anxiety attack. By using these three tips, you can prevent your panic attacks from escalating.
Tip #1: Shoulders
When you have an anxiety attack, focus on your shoulders. You should let them fall deep. Lowering your shoulders will make your body more relaxed, even when you're in a panic. By doing this, you reduce the psychological symptoms of a panic attack and reduce its severity.
Tip #2: Reflect back
Always approach situations. For example, if you're afraid to go to the bar because of your anxiety, go anyway. I had this problem and was just walking to the bar. It doesn't matter if you can only last 15 minutes, half an hour or five minutes. There's no shame in leaving early. If you look back at it afterwards, you'll realize that there was actually nothing wrong with you.
Tip #3: Compare with other situations
This tip comes straight from my mother. When I had a panic attack a few months ago, she said, “Why are you worried?” It's basically the same situations as with television. There's nothing wrong with you and you don't panic, so why would anything go wrong in the bar?
If you apply these tips, reflect on what you have achieved and try to see things in a positive light, you will be able to last much longer. It really helps you get your life back on track and have fun again. It really helped me reduce the severity to an acceptable level. Nowadays I no longer have the anxiety problem because I have mastered the 4th step: “Letting go”.
