My Panic Attack Solution

How does one deal with a panic attack? I think I am getting them and they are horrible. cI started to panic and my body started to get hot and sweaty. any cures? what treatment does one take?

I always tell people its good to talk with a doctor or a therapist about this. Just to be on the safe side of things, because other things can be going on too. And if it is anxiety, they can help with ways to cope, or medications.

Dealing with anxiety its a real tough thing, and it can become debilitating in trying to live anormal life. I know, I have social anxiety and it holds me back from doing a lot of things. The friends who have put up with me for this have helped me by encouraging me to develop the f*** it attitude. I didn’t think it would work, but I started saying it whenever I got those feelings and it set in some. I still struggle with it, and it still holds me back, but I’ve grown as a person and become less anxious and more able to do things by adopting that attitude.

My BF gets panic attacks when going on planes, in crowds, or amusement rides etc, what can I do to help him? He’s on anti-depressants for them but they don’t seem to work

I have suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for 8 years. I was on anti depressants for 2 years, and then I got off of them because they didn’t help with my anxiety or panic attacks. The way that I try to control them, is when you feel one coming on, I try to get myself busy with something else, because the more you think about the panic attack the worst it gets. I sometimes also call someone that knows that I get them and tell them just to talk to me. The worst thing you can say to someone having a panic attack is are you okay, or are you still having the panic attack. Saying that only reminds them that they were having it, and it makes it worst. The best thing is to ask them how there day was, or if you have something planned, ask them about the plans you have. Something that will get their mind off of freaking out about the panic attack. Ice water helps me too. Hope I’ve been helpful

and have even fainted on several occasions..

I have a history with self-injury and keep it under control now..but i cannot control these panic attacks that happen to me.

Any idea as to why this happens ??

thank you

cause i need 2 control them

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.

But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called "St John’s Wort" – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!

Please see a doctor about this. It’s much too general to answer in a two-sentence question what specifically you need, and it’s too big to simply relegate to trying to control them through willpower.

From the beginning of last year I’ve started to have panic attacks, they came out of nowhere. I’m pretty scared during them, trouble breathing, fast heart rate, numbness, shaking during and after. They’re usually triggered by stress and anxiety, I just need some advice on how to control them, or even prevent them before they get beyond easy control. Thank you.

I’ve lived with panic attacks for over 11 years and definately know what you are going through. You can learn to ward them off before they get too serious. Please see my link. And I wish you the best of luck.
