How can i deal with my panic disorder?!
Question: How can i deal with my panic disorder!?
so i have been having P!.D!. since early 2004, i would like to say the state of my panic has been neutral (because the first 2 years of having them i could not be without my loved ones, and i wasn't scared of curtain places, but now i can be without them and I'm scared of curtain places, funny isn't it lol) but yeah i get scared of stupid things (overcrowded places, being sick, the sun exploding, countless things) how can i treat this, i have a book about treating it and it said going on diets can help (i have not gone on one) deep breathing (have only done it for 2 months) and exercise (have not done) self talk (keep forgetting) also if anyone knows of a place where i can download AN AUDIO TAPE THAT HAS SELF TALK ON IT (such as "you have no fear" or "i can handle this") PLEASE LET ME KNOW!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
A couple of things for you to remember:
No situation, place, sensation or thought causes panic!. It's you doing it to yourself!. You are consciously choosing to react that way!. Next time you feel it coming on, realise that you can choose not to panic!. Because that is, after all, what you don't want to do!.
With the deep breathing, this is exactly how you should do it to reverse/abort an anxiety attack:
Breath ALL the way out slowly through your mouth, do this first, not second!
Now, let the in breath happen all by itself!.
Repeat 2 more times and return to normal!Www@Answer-Health@Com
