Have you ever felt the recommended techniques for a panic attacks treatment was just making the panic attacks symptoms worse? Me too! So just relax and breathe.
Breathe really deep and...
kidding, I'm kidding.
Seriously though, because we both know what a traumatic experience it is being controlled by this ongoing drama machine titled anxiety disorder, can be.
So lets be practical.
First and foremost is to eliminate any and all contributing factors.
So hire a hit man to rubout your spouse.
Your parents? That teacher? Your boss? No not the kids! Dear God Please, not the kids!?! See, it's easier than that, so make a list of what needs to go.
Panic causes the body to become flooded with it's natural stimulant hormone, adrenaline.
The last thing you need pumping through your veins at a time like that is more stimulants.
Chocolate, coffee, tea, or any drinks containing caffeine, including even energy drinks and green tea should probably be avoided.
You have to read labels and think these things through.
Black tea is said to be excellent for anxiety disorders so try that instead, or go decaf everything.
Be aware of what you eat or drink and how it affects your anxiety levels.
Keep a food diary! Really, until you've got this thing figured out.
Typically the underlying physical instigator of anxiety and panic disorders is caused by a malfunction of the adrenal glands, or adrenal fatigue.
This can also cause low blood sugar or hypoglycemia.
Yep, I bet you knew that one was coming.
You need to go ahead and eliminate all sugars.
Also artificial sweeteners full of excito-toxins like Aspartame are poison for the brain, so go ahead and say, "bye-bye.
" Instead of three meals, eat five or six smaller meals a day to keep your blood sugar on an even keel.
They should be healthy snacks that are evenly balanced as far as proteins, complex carbs, and fats are concerned.
You will do much better on a high protein diet along with healthy sources of saturated fats such as butter, coconut oil, and olive oil.
Still there? Wanted something a little easier and less structured? Hm...
? OK, but don't just throw out everything I just said because it's a good foundation and I didn't even mention fasting, or cold showers, which are both excellent natural anxiety cures.
I didn't want to mention panic attack damage control because I was trying to focus on prevention, but of the many things you can do if one hits, this always worked for me back in the day.
It goes against all of the natural instincts you feel at that moment, but at the first sign of an outbreak first and foremost, relax.
At least sit down if your not where you can lay down.
Begin to breath in very slowly through your nose, and exhale the same way.
In a seriously calm mood tell yourself, "Everything is alright.
" Don't freak out, because it just puts fuel on the fire.
"Everything is alright.
" You have to believe it.
Also to boost back up your blood sugar, as most panic attacks symptoms are caused by a drop in blood sugar levels, drink a glass of diluted fruit juice or eat a banana.
Then eat a snack that is balanced in the area of complex carbs, fats, and proteins.
That will hold your levels for the time being.
Of the many physical natural panic disorder treatments you can rely on, herbal cures are very reliable and convenient.
For emergencies aromatherapy works great.
Carry a bottle of lavender oil and a handkerchief.
Sprinkle some on it and breathe it in slowly at the onset of an attack.
Go online or to your health food store, and get some appropriate herbal remedies to take all the time.
They work, as do homeopathic medicines and flower essences.
Much better than those debilitating anti-anxiety prescriptions do, what to speak of the complimentary panic attack you get from having to go through a doctors visit to get them.
Practice emergency treatments before you have an attack, and carry a natural panic attack kit.
Didn't you learn anything from all of that boy scout training? Yeah, be prepared! But don't obsess over it.
That's the worst thing you can do.
Expect the best but be prepared for the worst.
An ounce of prevention and all that.
Just knowing your prepared, will help to keep you calm.
I barely got started on that subject and it's already time to go.
Oh well, another day.
All I can say is, overcoming anxiety, and panic disorder treatment, does not have to be something that follows you for the rest of your days.
Can you just see yourself at eighty-three with a grownup grandchild having to hold your hand and say, "Granny, just breathe!" Get real.
Not gonna happen.
You will find the cure and soon, I just know it.
I did, and once you do, all of this drama becomes nothing more than a faded, "Remember when...
