What Is Anxiety Blog

Is this close to anxiety/panic attack symptoms?

I often get nervous and upset.
1. Fast heart beat
2. Chest pain
3. Body shake
4. Dizziness
5. Unable to move the body(like my hand gets thick) for 30 min.

I often get this. What cause it? Also , Is this dangerous?

That sounds pretty much like a panic attack . Generally they’re not dangerous so long as you try and keep calm (yeah, I know, its hard).

Its always worth having a check over with your doctor to make sure its nothing more serious though. I used to have panic attacks quite a lot, and one thing that i found really helped me was Bachs Rescue Remedy - you put a few drops on your tongue when you feel yourself starting to get stressed, and it calms you down . Its widely available , and pretty cheap too .

What role does a lack of safety signals play in the development & maintenance of generalized anxiety disorders?

What role does a lack of safety signals play in the development and maintenance of generalized anxiety disorder?

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.

But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called “St John’s Wort” - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….

How do you get through your panic attacks?

I get panic attacks and I want to help myself through them. What do you do to calm yourself down during a panic attack?

When I would have panic attacks I would start breathing irregularly. What really helped was breathing into a paper bag. I know it sounds cliche but basically when you start hyper-ventillating you are getting too much oxygen. Breathing into the paper bag forces you to slow down your breathing becasue you stop getting enough oxygen.

I also had someone I could call no matter what time of night it was who could usually talk me down out of my panic.

I also have medication (xanax) that I take when I start to feel a panic attack coming on.

And I have gone through DBT therapy to pinpoint WHY I feel so panicy and try to head off panic attacks (this has actaully worked the best for me as I haven’t had a panic attack in 3 months and don’t even know if the xanax would work becasue I have never had to take it)
