Anxiety sufferers often fear the next panic attack. In fact, the fear itself manifests the anxiety that spurs to the next panic attack. Many sufferers believe that there is something psychologically wrong with them. And in a lot of cases also feel there is something wrong physically. Anxiety causes physiological symptoms that can resemble serious conditions, and leave the sufferer descending into a state of worry and fear. And far too often these anxious thoughts can explode into a state of panic.
During a panic attack, one can experience an overwhelming feeling of doom, a fear of losing control and their grasp on reality, rapid and intense heart beat, hot flashes, shortness of breath, dizziness, a faint feeling and believes they may pass out. Each of these sensations seems to intensify the other and leave the sufferer feeling that the episode will not end.
This attack is often so scary it leaves one fearing the next. This fear causes the person to regularly feel uneasy. Many people find it hard to concentrate on the task at hand and tend to avoid certain activities or places they believe could cause another panic episode. These "triggers" could be restaurants, shopping malls, movie theatres, or even churches and places of worship.
Usually, people suffering from anxiety feel that the next panic attack could get worse each time. They may feel they could soon lose control of their rational thinking and don't want to put themselves in an embarrassing situation. Also, places that can't be exited easily are often avoided.
Many anxiety sufferers want to know they could remove themselves from any situation should more intense feelings of panic return. Often, sufferers feel it's not a question of if they will have another panic attack, but when. Unfortunately, many do not realize it's the only fear of a panic attack that actually causes the panic attack. The only real "trigger" for the episode, is the individual themselves.
Realizing that the source for the panic lies within one's self is often the first step in beating anxiety. Knowing that panic attacks are simply created from a negative line of worrisome thoughts can be a powerful weapon against the anxious episodes. The continuous worry and anxiety can actually cause physical symptoms that lead the individual into panic.
Those who suffer from anxiety often find a much comfort just realizing they are not alone in their experiences. Many believe their situation is unique, which can intensify the panic. Understanding that anxiety is increasingly common and continually researched can give an anxious person a sense of much needed relief.
Medical professionals are becoming more aware of the symptoms of anxiety and panic and the most effective methods of treating them. Many times physicians may prescribe a type of anti-anxiety medication such as an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). The medication may be prescribed along with a type of counseling program to address the sources of anxiety and panic. People dealing with anxiety and having episodes of panic are not as far from a healthy, happy lifestyle as they may think. The same negative, worrisome thinking that provides the breeding ground for anxiety and panic can leave a sufferer believing recovery is not possible. Channeling that negative energy into a proactive attitude can usually provide the basis for a more positive thought process, greatly increasing quality of life and paving the way to a complete recovery to one's former happy, productive being; free from anxiety and panic attacks.
