Coping with anxiety and getting anxiety relief need work. I found it myself, with hindsight. You aim at getting rid of panic attacks and reaching the permanent cure.
You might have discovered that the temporary relief (whatever the technique applied) does not equal the perfect cure. You just start feeling better at the particular moment. You are not free from the fear, though: it might and will strike again.
Working on getting less afraid, you will find some specific symptoms, anyway:
1. The way you react to what is happening is not really the one you want – someone would say, the normal, obvious reaction; are you considering it to be more important then it is?
How to overcome this? I always tried to imagine a respectful person, someone admirable, well known from history, tv, whose biography was really known to me; a friend, colleague, father, mother. Whoever. I would then, in the middle of what was happening, ask myself about their opinion on it; looking from different point of view supports stopping negative thoughts.
2. how about your body? Heart is beating out of you, can’t focus on anything, you are constantly tired, get backache, headache. There are possibilities to overcome this, but not in a short term.
3. being nervous, afraid, feeling anxious – most of the time, most of the day; you may try not give it any meaning, but these are the facts; do you also feel guilty for all this that is happening to you?
Do you want to get rid of all of those freelings? They are really overwhelming. What exactly are you worried about? What is the main reason for the fear? Name it. Then ask yourself: is it again me, or this time the objective reality. Help yourself by imagining someone dear and respectful for you. Would this person think and feel what I feel?
Considering the fact, that you see so much is happening around, look closer. Do the list of the situations and feelings. That is your job. Not that difficult, though.
As you look at the symptoms and situations you suffer so much from, you will be able to understand possible pattern and start changing the mental states which hurt you so much.
