Question:
Help about OCD?
Can somebody tell me how can I react when my husband has a panic atack Im really worry because he doesn't sleep well and he sweat a lot and gets really cold
Answers:
tell him to slow down. tell him to focus on breathing slowly, not on panic. think of positive/calming things, like the fact that panic attacks are treatable and that he is not going to die from the attack and realize that it will pass soon. Though it may be difficult, when dealing with panic, it is important to provide evidence that counters our negative thinking patterns.
A panic attack cannot cause your heart to stop.
A panic attack cannot cause you to stop breathing.
A panic attack cannot cause you to go crazy and lose mental control.
It helps to not keep things bottled up. encourage him to express himself freely to you always, and don't judge him or be too critical when he does.
GOOD LUCK :)
