Why do I have panic attacks when planning the future.?
I just discovered that when I try to think about changing my circumstances I have a momentary loss of memory and my heart starts racing, I have to breathe harder. I loose my concentration, forget what I was thinking about and start doing something different like simple distractions. I have just, just realised this has been happening for years and explains a great deal about my life. I really need to know how to stop it. Thanks
I have had panick attacks too since I am a teen-ager. I learned how to cope with them but sometimes they come back.
Here is what helps me:
1. Take long, deep breaths. It slows the heart beat. I used to feel a warmth throughout my whole body, this is normal.
2. Drink Orange Blossom (very hot) or Valeriane herbal tea. It helps relax before you go to bed.
3. Take a hot bath. It knocks me right out.
4. Listen to self-hypnosis tape. It saved me from insanity many times. It is called "Relieves Stress and Anxiety" and you can find it at www.thepotentialsunlimited.com
When I had surgery last year I panicked again because I had weird reactions to pain killers and I listened to it about 4 times a day. I was glad I still had it after 15 years !!!
5. Get into meditation and yoga classes. You will learn A LOT of relaxation techniques. Or you can get a book on it.
6. Self-help classes would also help. Panick attacks are the result of repressed emotions and I am pretty sure if you dig inside yourself you will find stuff that will amaze you.
My panick attacks were the result of me, as a child, not knowing in which kind of a mood my alcoholic dad would be when he got home.
7. As weird as it sounds, stay away from refined sugar and coffee.
8. Stay away from negative people.
9. Do physical exercise. It stimulates the endorphins in your brain, endorphins are the pleasure hormone that are released when you exercise, listen to music or do pleasant activities.
10. Find your passion or a hobby. Me, it was martial arts. It kept me busy enough to stop worrying. Life is much better when you are working towards a goal that you have at heart.
you need coping skills. i can help with that i have been having anxiety for about two years now. i can help if you need
