Anxiety and Self Control

I have panic attacks, and they’re no fun at all. I feel them coming on and the more I think about it, the quicker it happens. The first attacks I had, I really thought I was having a heart attack. My heart was pounding and I started sweating profusely. Then I couldn’t concentrate on anything around me. It scared me very badly. Of course, I started doing a lot of reading about panic attacks and was relieved to discover they aren’t physically harmful to my health. It wasn’t a heart attack making my heart race – it was the chemicals the brain releases when anxiety attacks.

There are ways to deal with panic attacks and general anxiety. The best thing to try first is learning self-control. Yes, you can learn to change the way you think so anxiety is relieved and panic attacks are less likely. Anxiety is a symptom of something else in your life yet to be identified. In my case, I discovered I had suppressed feelings about my marriage and it was causing excessive stress in my life.
