How to Cope with Panic Attacks

Panic attack is one of the most frequently experienced disorders in the world. It is estimated that 4 or 5 out of a hundred people are severely affected by it, one way or the other. Because of panic attacks, a casual mood can turn into an eye-popping, jittery, can’t-sit-still-on-the-chair mood, like what a husband feels when he’s eagerly waiting for his wife to give birth to their child.

A “little” anxiety is not a bad thing. It helps to protect you from harm or potential danger, real or imagined, like other emotions. Let me explain. Human beings are the most fascinating and intriguing creatures on earth. The most pronounced reason why we have dominance in the animal kingdom is the way the human brain works. One very distinct feature we have as humans is our ability to have feelings. Although we do not discount that animals have feelings too, as evidenced by the way we see them act or react to certain situations, human feelings have the depth and significance that goes far beyond what animals can attain.

For feelings that deliver us good, we expound ways to improve it even further. For feelings that deliver us harm, we also expound ways to minimize it to tolerable levels. Anxiety is no exemption. There is no need to totally eradicate harmful feelings because at least some of them are not 100% harmful. In small ways, they also do us good. The idea is to control and not be controlled. Let us take fear for example.

Fear, as you know, is one of the most infamous feelings we have as humans. It is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) deterrents to our success. Yet in spite of the negative perception we may have about fear, it also has its little good side. Fear prevents us from getting hurt, both physically and emotionally. The “little” fear inherent within us is actually good for us. We need that “little” fear. It prevents us from getting too aggressive.

The same is true with panic. A “little” panic can serve as a form of defense. But being engulfed with excessive panic may hinder you from performing your normal activities and may deter you to take action especially on not-so-common activities.

However, if you have only one option to face a panic attack, like it or not, you have to find the right approach to contain such an attack and suppress this discomforting feeling.

Panic attacks are actually products of the mind, an imagination of a perceived threat or danger that can be controlled. In reality, such danger does not exist. Even the worst scenario that you can perceive under these circumstances are not life threatening.

Life is too short to be preoccupied with anxieties that hinder growth. In this book, we shall explore in details the misconceptions about panic, so we can segregate what is myth and what is fact. We shall likewise discuss the causes that give rise to panic attacks. All will be presented in a reader-friendly format.

For this same reason, we shall find the corresponding cure or remedy to stop panic in its tracks. In the same context about fear, panic protects us from harm; but when excessive panic becomes harmful itself, we have to explore ways to contain it to the level we want or need it to be.

I encourage you to turn through the pages of this book to find the purpose of controlling panic to a level that will work in your favor. Keep it on a scale where the physical body and emotional state of mind are in comfortable, controllable, and conclusive levels. You should be the one controlling panic attacks, and not the other way around. This is possible and attainable as long as you discipline yourself. These disciplines are contained herein and it is best to know, adhere, and practice them. The succeeding chapters will serve as the path to curb panic attacks.
