is there anyone,,who had overcame panic attacks??plz suggest...? |
Best answer:
I have been dealing with Panic attacks for about 7 years now. I don't feel anyone ever completely gets over them, but I have learned how to minimize them and try to avoid them whenever possible.
First thing you need to do is really examine your attacks. Is there a pattern to when/why you get them? Do certain people, places, or events tend to "trigger" them? If so, find your triggers and learn to avoid those when possible, or learn to make them less threatening. For instance, one of my triggers is being surrounded by people I don't know with no way to "escape" (such as a party), so to minimize the potential for a panic attack, I ensure I have a ride home in case I need it, and immediately find SOMEONE there that I know, at least a little, so I have osmeone to talk with, and feel less isolated.
Also, I have been doing Yoga for about a year now. I have actually used methods taught there to overcome panic attacks in other areas of life. Make your muscles relax. Breathe. Focus. Clear your mind. Mantras...it all helps.
If you can't find a trigger, speak to your doctor or find a therapist and discuss possible biological problems such as a chemical imbalance. Also, there could be repressed issues that you will need to face and deal with, so thereapy helps a great deal.
One last piece of advice: have a friend you can call or go to in the middle of an attack. I had one drive me to my knees, and I ended up paralyzed on the couch...I simply couldn't move, I was terrified of everything. If I hadn't had a friend to call, I don't know how bad it would have gotten. Have a list of people you can contact when it gets too bad.
I hope this helps you, let me know. |
