Panic and anxiety are always unwanted visitors as far as anyone is concerned. Anxiety in a way, robs people of their everyday life because when anxiety occurs, the feelings it brings about are all the anxiety sufferer can think about.
People who experience anxiety and panic say they feel as if they are out of their minds or they feel unreal. Actually, anxiety sufferers are not at all out of their minds. They are in fact, normal. Panic and the unreal feelings it brings about are caused by adrenaline. It is the nervous system that is not quite right, it isn't anything associated with the mind. Anxiety may have something to do with one's thought process, but it isn't insanity.
In this article, we will talk about what is really happening to a person who is experiencing an anxiety attack and teach some inside knowledge which will be helpful for those trying to overcome anxiety and/or panic attack.
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 we experience panic/anxiety, our body functions differently because of adrenaline. Because of the different way our body is functioning at this time we will feel things we normally don't and usually, these feelings can be disconcerting. However, when we fight or run away from these feelings we bring on more unusual feelings and so we compound our misery.
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.
