Tips On Anxiety And Panic Attacks

I would like to share with you some tips on anxiety and panic attacks that are offered by the Panic Away program. This program as well as I believe in confronting and learning to deal with the many effects and emotions that go along with these conditions.

Please enjoy the tips and check below for a free e-book from the Panic-Away Program to give you a little more information. I am a strong believer in facing your challenges or fears head on as once you conquer them you succeed in controlling you bodies effects to your emotions and thoughts and lessen the thoughts altogether bringing you peace and control again.

4 tips on anxiety and panic attacks:

1. Diet

2. Exercise

3. Distraction

4. Elimination of anxious thoughts

The following tips are divided into separate sections and easily implemented into your daily routine. These tips are to help strengthen your resistance to anxiety. 

DIET:  Looks at how you can ward off  excessive anxiety successfully through your diet. The more balanced the diet the more the mind/body relationship feels secure and strong. What you eat today can definitely impact the level of anxiety you will feel tomorrow. the program goes more in-depth on how important and what foods will help you with a diet to reduce anxiety.

EXERCISE:  Exercise brings the body to a heighten state through exertion as like what happens when you have an anxiety attack, so your body learns to except the heightened state and doesn't see it as a threat. So many people leave this part out in their daily routines and it is an important one. Not to mention the many relaxation and health benefits exercise provides.

DISTRACTION:  This is also important for tips on anxiety and panic attacks. We all have been distracted when we are nervous in return making us feel more at ease, but how does this apply to anxiety and panic attacks? Distraction helps you keep your attention to whats going on around you instead of the anxious feelings trying to invade our thoughts.

ELIMINATION OF ANXIOUS THOUGHTS: Most people who have been sucessful in ending anxiety and panic have intentionlly or even un-intentionally taught themselves to change their thinking patterns to a positive constructive manner instead of negative spirals of negative thoughts.

Please see the link below to download a free copy of a book from the Panic-Away program that I hope you will find informative and reassuring. This program is one of the best programs I know if you choose to take the more natural controlled way of handling your anxiety. Knowledge is power and this program gives you a wonderful defense against this powerful demon.

How To Cope With Anxiety

I would like to share with you a natural way in how to cope with anxiety. Mr Barry McDonagh came up with a wonderful program designed to help control anxiety and panic attacks. He began in his college years suffering the attacks and panic and like me, he believes in the natural way without medications.

His approach is alittle different than most as he steers you toward facing your sensations and attacks rather than blocking or running away from them..Once your mentally accept and know that these attacks pose no physical threat and you start demanding at the attacks, they will subside till you overcone them.

Please watch the video below that will help you understand more on how to cope with anxiety. I will have a bonus video, one of my favorites at the end of this post.

Once you normalize your sensations and let them run through you, you no longer will fear or dread the attacks..He truly has a wonderful message and well worth the little investment. I still after years get emails with little tricks and updates about handling anziety. I have a blue link to his program at the top of my blog so please take the time to go there and check the customer satisfaction ratings and the many Doctors that recommend this program. I am a believer and I pray it will help you.

As promised please see the video below as it walks you thru a panick attack. With this program I truly believe you will learn how to cope with anxiety.

Only WE can choose to support one another.

CALL FOR ACTION!

If I had one wish it would be for LOVE to go viral...So many things from the funniest to the saddest go viral daily ...For those who suffer with anxiety, panic attacks, depression or any other mental illness I wish their stories could go viral. People would then see their pain and anguish and know just how hard living with one of these conditions can be.

In the last few months we have lost Mr. Robin Williams and just seen Mr. Wayne Brady on the Doctor's show talking about bouts of depression as well...TWO of the most funniest and entertaining people we know have dealt with their own battles and demons. To me this says YES  mental illnesses are real and it's time to take this seriuosly. It's time to take notice and start taking care of each other.

If I could open my heart I would blanket the world with love and support for anyone suffering from these illnesses...THIS IS MY PASSION! I have been down that road and I am so thankful for the right people coming at the right times to save me. I still have my own battles but I make time to see in others what they can't show.. ONE word, can make more of a difference than you know.

I share tips and techniques with you in order to help educate you on some of these conditions and symptoms in hopes that they will help you along your path. I can talk medications, natural supplements,  stress release or coping skills. I can talk real life experiences if it will help someone not feel alone or at least see a glimmer of light shine through. My SOLE  purpose is to help all those I can, whether it be tips or just saying you are not alone or I do understand.

MY CALL TO ACTION:  If you know someone suffering from a mental illness BE THERE! A kind word, a hug to say I am here for you, spend a little time with them to understand how they REALLY are. The MOST important thing to someone suffering with a mental illness is SUPPORT! No matter who or how it comes, just as long as that support is there. You will be amazed at the change you can make in someone's life.


Remember only WE can choose to support one another.

Magnesium and Anxiety

There are so many natural products out there that claim to help with anxiety and panic atracks it gets mind boggling. I came across an article in Psychology Today, written by Emily Deans M.D. that was very informative and has a lot of good information and in my view definitely worth reading. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201106/magnesium-and-the-brain-the-original-chill-pill


Currently the RDA for adults on magnesium is 320mg to 420mg daily, but the average US intake is about 250mg daily.

Does this matter with Anxiety? YES as magnesium plays an important role in biochemical reactions all over the body. Look at it like this, while sodium and potassium balance each other in the brain, magnesium is the counter ion for potassium and calcium in muscle cells including the heart. When the levels are to low you may experience arrythmias, cramps and even sudden death. Ion regulation is every thing w/respect to how muscles contract and how our nerves send signals.

George and Karen Ebay wrote an article in Medical Hypothesis 2006 about "rapid recovery from major depression using magnesium treatment." They run a research facility out of an office warehouse in Austin, TX. I recommend this study also as they give you a case by case breakdown and lots of interesting information on the essential mineral magnesium.

Have you ever heard your grandma say magnesium was good for you? It is actually and old school remedy for all that ails you including, anxiety, apathy, depression, headaches, restlessness, irritability, and a few others such as talkativeness and sulkiness. In 1968 Wacker and Parisi said that magnesium deficiency could cause depression, behavioral disturbances, headaches, muscle cramps, seizures, ataxia, psychosis and irritability all of which are reversible with magnesium repletion.

WHAT causes magnesium depletion?  Magnesium deficient diets and STRESS....There is that word again? STRESS causes us to waste our magnesium like crazy. Please see Eby's case studies for more detailbs on their study.

Seems like we just need to load up on magnesium and  we would be good right? Unfortunately it doesn't quite work that way...it is always recommended to talk to your Doctor before adding any kind of supplements, especially if you are taking any medications or have kidney desease. There are some precautions in the link above as well but magnesium from all that I have read is a real supplement that may be of great help and a wonderful alternative to medications for some people


Only WE can choose to love and support one another!

Just Being There!

I have researched everything and anything I could find on anxiety and panic attacks, but the one thing you find little of is the importance of support.

I could give you lists of anti-depressants, what they are, what their possible side affects are and why you should or should not take them. I can share my own personal experiences all of which were horrible, but many of you have already seen the statistics out there.

I could speak of the symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks, but most of you suffering with these know all to well what they are and how bad they can be.

Anxiety and or panic attacks are a real mental problem for many of us. NO we are not crazy and don't deserve to be treated as such. Our minds are a constant flow of thoughts, mostly unwarranted fears that are like a movie playing over and over again in our mind...Someone not suffering with this affliction, this would be hard for them to understand. We certainly do not ask for this condition and I personally would not wish it on my worst enemy!

We over analyze everything and are our worst critics...things most people can move past or just forget are next to impossible to us. This is not intentional just part of the condition so please be careful with your words...For us they could hurt more than you know.

Please please do not tell us to "let it go" or "move on" or "just get over it". If it were that easy for us you better believe we would have already done so.

The most important thing you can have when suffering with anxiety and/or panic attacks is SUPPORT.  Just make sure you surround yourself with positive support to uplift you and encourage you. STAY AWAY from those that bring you down and tell you opinions that hurt....If it hurts you it's not support so distance yourself from that negativity.  We have to help one another as a good support system is key in learning to cope with our condition. One kind word can make a HUGE difference.

Just a note to add, our counselors at times I know for me will say things to hurt, but they know what they are doing to help us get through or past what is hurting us...Sometimes it does take pain in order to get our thoughts into perspective, but for me I only want it from the ones trained to get me there. Our family and friends, just listen to us, tell us you love us and be there for us. That is the most wonderful thing you can do for us.



Only WE can support one another.

SINCERELY,
Melinda Pearson
