Anxiety attacks seem to come on suddenly without warning and when it inconveniences us the most. Once an anxiety attack strikes it becomes the center of all our attention. It gives us all we can handle and though we try our very best to overcome it, anxiety with its panic attacks come on anyway.
Those experiencing anxiety disorder say they are having feelings of unreality or feeling as if they are going insane. This is not however, what is happening to the anxiety sufferer. It may be how they describe their feelings, but the truth is anxiety is a function of the nervous system, not the brain. The truth is anxiously ill people are typical well adjusted and of a stable mind. Their problem is adrenaline runs wildly through their bodies and this, in turn is brings on feelings of unreality and such.
This article speaks about what actually is happening when an anxiety or panic attack is occurring and also discusses how to prevent panic from occurring. Also, we discuss what to do that will help stop further panic attacks from starting.
It is All About the Struggle
Adrenaline shoots through our veins in response to fight or flight. What this means is, when we are struggling to overcome some situation or when we are trying to get away from something, such as a wild animal, adrenaline will enter into our bloodstreams. This adrenaline is there to help us fight better and run away faster. In certain situations it is good that we are able to fight better or run faster, but when adrenaline secretion is already giving us feelings of unreality, fighting this adrenaline secretion or trying to run away from it only secrets more adrenaline and makes us feel more unreal.
When panic comes over us, it brings about feelings that often make us feel sick. Because of this, we try to fight them off or overcome them by force. This is the same as fighting and since anxiety is brought about by the fight or flight (run away) response, the panic becomes worse. Then, if we fight harder the panic intensities even more.
After an anxiety attack has come and gone and the anxiety sufferer feels good, he or she can make the mistake of fearing an another onslaught of panic. This can happen because the sufferer feels well and wants to always feel this way. So, he or she makes sure to be on guard so at the slightest sign of nervousness, the anxiety can be successfully fought off.
Doing this will often help intensify nervousness into panic. It is when we are constantly trying to prevent panic from ever returning we go through our day constantly tense in hope this will somehow prevent anxiety when actually, it is bringing it on.
Giving Up or, Passivity
Though it seems like a strange approach for those of us who have fought for everything we have, the way to victory over anxiety and panic is to give up fighting. Surrendering to anxiety starts the recovery process because when we give up we no longer add adrenaline flow to our already adrenaline rich bloodstreams.
Developing the attitude of letting panic do to you whatever it will is the way to lessening the severity of each panic attack as they occur. In time, and maybe you will be surprised how short a time, no panic at all will occur because by ignoring the symptoms of panic, such as feelings of unreality, you will have taken the teeth out of panic. When there is nothing to fear, there is nothing left to fight, no adrenaline and so, no panic.
