Answers:
Hi! I’m sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. Don’t worry, you’re not a freak and you’re not going to die! The following steps should help eliminate (or significantly reduce) your panic attacks:
1.Breathe properly - if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.
2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks. It takes a bit of work, but it is super effective. (After 15 years of panic attacks, mine stopped completely).You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: http://www.livinglifetothefull.com/elear...
3. Try relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. This site has instructions on how to do it without the tapes (and other useful info): http://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/resource...
With each step, practise makes perfect! I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!
