Panick Attacks

Panic attacks are essentially when you force yourself to the point of hyperventilation, breathing in and out so quickly that your circulation gets messed up and you could feel dizzy or nauseous. Your fingers and face may tingle, and you may get a headache, but I’m guessing you already knew this. When you begin to feel you are breathing in and out quickly enough to induce a panic attack: stop. You should take a few, deep, long breaths (if you need to, use a paper bag or cup your hands loosely over your mouth.) Sit down if you can, and try your best to simply focus on a calm, level rythm of breathing. If you are able to breathe normally, your nervousness may also subside. Because you know that nervousness triggers your attacks, you can also focus on relaxation techniques. Meditation and getting enough sleep, not penting up your emotions, maybe some yoga? Anything that relaxes you outside of whatever makes you nervous will help you to stay calm even under pressure. Also, ask yourself- is it really worth getting so nervous about? Good luck with everything. And if you get these attacks regularly, they may be a sign of some deeper problem, so you should see a doctor.
