Don't Let Panic Attacks Ruin Your Life

Heightened anxiety, or better know as panic attack, for some people can be a daily occurrence. For some people the feeling of heightened anxiety is something that happens but we are able to keep it under control.

Anxiety can work in our favour. It can keep us ready for action, fight or flight, and it can also keep us psychologically alert. These exercises can be good but only up to a certain extent or. If we let them get out of control, things may start to get out of hand and we feel we are no longer in control of our emotions.

When we are overwhelmed with a panic attack, we have one of two choices. We can either face it or get away from it, fight or flight mentioned earlier. Given a choice, would you face panic attack and experience its full impact, or would you rather retreat or run away from it?

If we relate panic to fear, the two are similar in a lot of ways, the easy choice would be to avoid it. But there is always a great chance that it will reoccur again and again. Whatever is causing your panic attacks will keep you on edge as you wait for that trigger moment to come.

Given this kind of a situation, it is apparently more logical to face panic attacks. Fight it, or accept it, whichever turns out to be a better option, and experience its full impact. There is a saying that “experience is the best teacher.” It is also true that when you have had previous experience on a previous occasion, you get to handle the situation better the next time because you already know how to deal with it. A panic attack is not a physical ailment, even with the physical side effects of sweating, shortness of breath and palpitations.


The more experiences you have of dealing with the situation, the more confident you become. And when you are confident, what you used to fear will not make you fearful anymore. The more instances you are able to handle it, the more capable you will be each time it occurs. In the end, you will perfect the art of handling panic attacks, from fearing panic attacks to handling it remarkably in a positive way. That’s an achievement.
