In addition to meds. Panic Attacks need your Feedback
I am a mom of 5 daughters
4 who suffer from a combination of Depression
or GAD
0r Social Anxiety
And our youngest has such severe Anxiety it has affected her ability to eat.
She is under the care of a specialized Eating Disorders team
I also am an sufferer.
We all take meds for depression and medication to help us sleep.
With Panic Attacks, We try:
to help yourself realize that in fact...
you will be okay.
As simple as this sounds...
It is the hardest thing to learn.
You can try to use deep breathing,
Anxiety will drop as oxygen increases.
When in a Panic Attack you will tend to breath way too fast or
way to shallow.
Or barely at all.
Relaxation positions like the "Relaxation Pose" from Yoga.
If you are at work.
At least the breathing is within your control.
Learn some feedback techniques to counter act the Anxiety.
You are still here.
You can get through these and
Anxiety is like a bully.
You have to face it and stare it in the eye...
Get it to stand down!
We are all working daily to learn more to help others to cope.
I was diagnosed in 1995.
