Help Stopping Panic Attacks?
I have been getting bad panic attacks, fast pulse rate in the mornings, bad anxiety through day, not sleeping good, lots of worry, stress, financial issues.
I have been drinking alcohol off and on for the last 9 months, decided to quit a week ago, after effects to much.
What can I do for my anxiety and worry, this seems to be causing panic attacks?
I would like to get this issue under control without drugs?
Hi Steve!
Good question, and i will try and answer as precisely as possible.
I’m 17, and have panic attacks often, but not that often, around once every 3 months. They are distressful yes, and worrying, and i know what you go through.
In answer? What can you do to keep it under control? What helps me is to take time to take life in and stop, and think, and meditate every single day, to slow the body down through the strains and stresses of everday life.
Thanks,
Josh

Hey… Victoria here, maybe my personal story can give you some solace…
a lil about me- about a year after my husband left me and my daughter died about 5 years ago.. I was at a very difficult point in my life, and was ultimately diagnosed with depression, severe anxiety, and panic disorder. I would say that i’ve always for the most part been a little depressed and had some degree of anxiety, but this just completely tipped the scale. I remember there were days on end I would just lie in bed, and whenever I would be in a social environment my anxiety would go through the roof and I would often have panic attacks. Therapy never seemed to be effective for me, and my psych put me on damn near every med out there. I’ve been on everything from wellbutrin to paxil, zoloft, prozac, lexapro, celexa, buspar, valium, klonopin, xanax.. etc. Sometimes 2-3 different ones in combo at the same time. Nothing really seemed to work for me. With the exception of some of the benzos (klono./xanax) .. these worked well for a little while, but I grew tolerance quickly, and became highly addicted.
Then one day while researching online i came across this reputable looking website http://www.anxiety.pcti-system.com .. which talked about this program to eliminate your anxiety for good, all naturally. Long story short, I wound up signing up to try it and the program worked amazing.. Not only do I no longer have panic attacks and anxiety gone, but my depression has also seemed to dissipate a little. And I’m currently starting to slowly ween off the meds I’m on. >>>>
I would personally say that possibly the biggest driving factor in all this is OCD. I think obsessing and constantly having your thoughts focused on your own condition and constantly analyzing your own thoughts/actions plays a very significant role in the persistence of our ails. Almost like the condition is a small lit fire, and OCD is the fuel that keeps it consistently burning… Also, I’ve come to the conclusion that meds are generally a unhealthy short term cure that only semi-treats the symptoms, and never the cause. Hope I was of some help!

Panic Attack Help
Panic attacks are no laughing matter. When you have a panic attack, you may feel like you are about to die. Your heart will race, you will sweat profusely, you may have butterflies in your stomach, and you will shake or tremble excessively. You may even feel nauseous when you are having a panic attack. Finding panic attack help is your first step to living anxiety free.
Panic attack help comes in many forms. There is medication, counseling, self help products, and natural remedies. With so many forms of help to choose from, it can be hard to make a decision on what will work best for you.
Medication is usually the first step people take, because they think it is their only option. Prescription medication can work great for some people, but everybody is different. Some people experience extreme side effects to anti anxiety medication, and so they don’t use it.
For people who do not take the medication, there are many other forms of treatment that you can choose from. Self help products like Panic Away have been getting great reviews lately, and many people are very happy with their results. It basically teaches you how to notice an attack coming so that you can stop it before it gets bad.
Other people use natural remedies that are a concoction of herbs to treat their anxiety with varying results.
When it comes to having attacks, you just want to get to the root of the problem and stop it as soon as possible. When you are able to stop panic attacks from happening, it might be hard to think of anything else. This is why there are so many different forms of panic attack help out there for you. You just need to find one that you are comfortable with.
