Helping Yourself During a Panic Attack
Panic attack or anxiety attacks can be disabling sometimes and since people with panic attack might lack the knowledge regarding their appropriate action during that phase, may aggravate the condition to its worst. This article focuses on particular area of actions that you can follow to help yourself during a panic attack.
Get Hold Of Yourself
Speak firmly to yourself and tell yourself to calm down. Repeat words comprising of positive actions such as ‘I am slowing down’, ‘I am safe’, etc. This is really essential if you want to offer help yourself during a panic attack.
Change Your Focus
Instead of focusing on what is causing your panic attack or the panic attack itself try to focus your mind on positive aspects like a cool flowing mountain stream or a candle gently burning in the breeze. Briefly deliver message to your mind that you are beautiful like that fling stream and there is a burning candle inside you. It is your responsibility to protect them and you know that you can do that.
Overemphasize Your Overreaction
No matter what you have identified as a cause of your panic, tell to yourself that you are simply overreacting, nothing else. Tell to yourself firmly that, “I am simply overreacting. This event will come to pass, and I will be safe. There is nothing to fear, nothing to worry about at all.
Nature At It’s Best
If you are having panic attack, look through the window. Watch the weather or simply a tree. Try to sense the beauty of nature and the harmony inscribed in it. Divert your mind onto something beautiful. Help yourself in a panic attack by sensing the natural aesthetics of the things around you.
Listen Soft Music
Some people find this as the best way to help oneself in a panic attack. Listen to soothing music and sense how music gradually calms you down. Do sense music throughout your body and mind. It really works. For me this music is John Denver. So many songs of nature and the outdoors or “Welcome To My Morning†I’m the one responsible I made it just this way.
Maintain a Notebook
It is important to keep a notebook especially for contacting people during your panic attack. This may include the names and contact of your close friends and professionals or support groups. This will really help you during a panic attack. Advance arrangement of expected help diminishes the power.
Seeking Outside Help
You must call a crisis line if you find yourself unable to control the situation. It is better to seek help from someone in your neighbor or even from someone you do not know in person, before things turn worse and go completely out of control. But remember, this part has all the probability to aggravate your condition. Before trying anything else, try your to calm down by yourself.
