Symptoms of Panic Attacks and How to Handle Unwanted Thoughts
The panic disorder symptoms you just saw are just part of the many symptoms.
I got the list below from somewhere else.
- Fear of losing control or going crazy
- Skin losing color
- Shaking visibly or inside
- Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body
- Rapid heart beat, pounding heart or palpitations
- Smothering or shortness of breath sensations
- Blushing or skin blotches
- Dizziness or unsteadiness
- Choking sensations or lump in throat
- Urgently needing to urinate or defecate
- Inappropriate/Disturbed thoughts
- Sweating
- Chills or hot flushes
- Depersonalization (feeling outside yourself or like you don’t exist)
You would know when you have a panic attack. If you think that you would die or feel like you’re out of your mind then there’s a good chance that you’re suffering a panic attack. Anxiety is the seed of panic attacks and is mainly caused by fear. Even when the fear is irrational, anxiety is always ready to take over your mind. This fear results in an increased level of adrenaline. This adrenaline is what causes a lot of damage.
It’s important that you manage your thoughts but first you need to be aware of them. These thoughts take away your mental energy, put you on edge and clutter your minds. If you let your unwanted thoughts overcome you, fear and anxiety will take over and pretty soon you’ll have a panic attack. Things will seem to get worse to no end.
By first being aware of your thoughts you can then let it run its course until they go away. You know what I mean right? Sometimes the thought are there but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are aware of them. But you would surely be aware of its effects if you don’t acknowledge it. You can be in much better shape by simply taking notice of what you’re thinking at any given moment. You can even go further by making it a point to ask yourself what you’re thinking at any moment. You can control it but you have to be aware first.
Most of your unwanted thoughts would probably go away once you are aware of it. Practice this and make it a habit and you’ll be on your way to becoming anxiety free.
