Common Causes
Anxiety leads to panic attacks, a broken relationship in the past,jealousy,worry and stress can cause anxiety and sudden panic attacks.
Have you ever woke up from sleep feeling so helpless and sadness because you think of the past, of your good times that you had spent with your Gf or Bf? and you suddenly miss her/him so much after waking up from sleep? i did! i was worried for months, i wasn’t sleeping well for months and i was also a very jealous bf, i believe perhaps this could be the reasons that triggered my brain to Activate my body’s “fight Or Flight” Mode.
Yes , the reason why you feel so terrible when having a panic attack is because of your constant worries or anxiety, your mind feels like you are threatened, you are in danger and you need fight or run, so your brain activates Fight or Flight mode because you need to be saved and be safe because you must fight or run from the danger so the brain Activates adrenal glands which starts to release adrenaline (a stress hormone) to your blood-stream, so your heart rate starts to speed up, your body needs more oxygen when fight or run, that’s why your heart boom boom and feel like you can’t breath well, you feel light headed because you need think well and decision-making that can help you to escape or fight back, you feel nausea because you can move faster if you vomit all that you ate..you feel something bad is going to happen because your mind tells you to escape, that’s why you feel like running.
Now what?
Here are a few solutions that help me
Getting good sleep is important to avoid anxiety, get minimum 8 hour sleep everyday, sleep relaxes mind and helps alot
It’s easier to say to get good sleep, but i know it’s hard to sleep when you have anxiety, but you should try to get good sleep, it helps
1. Let it attack you! do not fight it, let it have you, seriously, the key to avoid anxiety attack is by embracing it, not running away from it, you need face it,this may sound crazy, but this is the key, face and accept your anxiety and it will start fade from your life
2. Believe that a panic attack is nothing but a falsely triggered body’s response to danger when actual danger is not present, so don’t be scared, feel it and let it do whatever it wants to do to you
3. Breath deeply but slow, breath in through your nose, fill your lungs almost full, and exhale, breath out through your mouth. This activates body’s relaxation system, so this can reduce the intensity of panic attack
4. If you feel like you gonna die, be ready to die (it won’t kill you), don’t be scared, believe afterlife is painless disease-free and peaceful.
See death as an escape from all sorrows and sufferings (it calms you down if you really believe it and prepared to die)
5. Believe your heart is a powerful muscle, that won’t fail even if it beats hard for very long time, God designed our body and he made the heart more powerful than other organs of body. panic attack is a system God put in our body to protect us, so it can’t harm us!
6. Don’t tell people what is happening to you, they may make you more anxious, i told my story to a taxi driver and he told me we must not worry too much because it can cause heart problem.
Uh oh! Let me tell you, those words ruined my whole day and i had multiple panic attacks throughout that day, ..and i asked this to several people and they made me even more anxious and i had to take a 0.25 mg alprax pill to calm myself down (this was before i mastering to accept anxiety) because it was a horrible day..i was carrying alprax with me only to use when i feel overwhelming anxiety, but it’s all on our mind.
Calm down and stay away from people that make you anxious. because most people just have baseless opinions
7. Go to hospital and perform a few tests just to know that your body is okay and working normally, it calms your mind because you know your body is okay and it’s panic attack that causes these horrible feelings, not a disease
8. I didn’t have much good friends handy so i had to manage my whole anxiety myself and calm me down myself..how unlucky, so be with your good friends who understands you, avoid talking to friends who makes you anxious
9. Go to a new place, let your body and mind relax, get good sleep.. if you have Ayurveda stores there where you live, find a natural meds called “Ashwagandarishta” it’s from Ayurveda, (Indian natural meds), it’s believed to fix if you have hormone imbalances and mind difficulties
10. Stop looking up diseases and other informations that makes you anxious on net. some websites are filled with lies that can give you worse anxiety
11. You know you start to enjoy little things of your life when you have anxiety, because you felt like you die soon so you start to enjoy life and appreciate everything you have and you may becom a good man. 😉 i know i did.. i quit dipping and smoking because this.
Smoking and using any other form of tobacco can definitely make your anxiety and panic attacks worse
12. Read books and watch videos that can put positive thoughts in your mind, YouTube has a lot of good self help videos, so is internet has lots of self help ebooks
