You can stop anxiety in several ways. One way will not guarantee that the results are permanent. The other will. While anxiety medication can ease the symptoms, it is not a cure. Drugs calm you so that your body does not remain in a state of constant tension. Being tense keeps your body on the alert because it knows something is not quite right. It is expecting to have to react at a moment's notice, as soon as the alarm is triggered.Your thoughts trigger that alarm constantly when you have anxiety disorder because you are always waiting and anticipating. You probably don't know what it is that you are expecting to happen. You just feel uneasy. You might even feel a sense of dread.
The method was developed by Barry McDonagh himself. He used to suffer from frequent panic attacks and GAD or the General Anxiety Disorder. According to him, some would not think that it is even possible to have a natural way of relief from panic attack. But amazingly, Barry developed a simple technique based on advanced psychology. He is happy to share his developments with those who, like him, are suffering from panic attacks.
First of all, one has to know the signs and symptoms if you think you have the condition. First off is the feeling of having a heart attack and tightness in the chest. There is also that feeling of nervousness and fear, especially if you are in an enclosed area or space such as traffic, supermarkets, cinemas or public transports. You are always paranoid about everything, even with normal situations, and sometimes you have the feeling that you might go insane and lose yourself. If you have such symptoms, you are sure to be experiencing a panic attack.
The technique does not need you to follow complicated steps, nor does it need deep breathing exercises, positive affirmations or distraction. It is a very simple technique that you can do even when you are performing your usual and normal activities. You can even do it anywhere you want to - could be at home, at work or even when you are hanging out with peers. The technique does not include hypnosis as some techniques do. It is one which includes the cognitive area, developed from traditional psychology.
But how does all that relate to today, I hear you ask? Well, although the chances are that you aren't going to be confronted by a pack of wild animals or a neighbouring tribe, looking to tear you limb from limb (lol), all your body needs to be faced with is the 'perception' that you are in danger. You see, the human body really is marvelous; it doesn't take any chances with your life. If there is even a sense of danger, it doesn't wait around to check and confirm it, it takes no chances and just triggers its fight or flight response!
You can from one minute being the centre to attention to next dreading the thought of anyone talking to you. Social Anxiety can affect you at anytime of your life. Most who have suffered from it were once confident sociable people to avoiding any social occasion. If you can't understand why you can't handle talking to people when you could once talk to anyone, don't worry. Social Anxiety affects millions of people. The most important thing you can do is learn to overcome it, accept that this is just a small moment in your life and you have a future of happiness ahead of you.
I understand if you feel as though there's nothing that can be done but you can overcome anxiety quite quickly, if you decide now that enough is enough. Social anxiety can occur for a different number of reasons. Things like, change of surroundings, family situations, a break up. These can all knock your confidence and make you feel that everyone is watching and making their own opinion.
First you need to switch your thinking. Right now you're probably thinking the worst is going to happen, people are making negative assumptions of you of you feel like you couldn't handle a conversation if the spotlight is put on you. Change this way of thinking to a positive outlook, picture yourself in your mind as the confident happy person you want to become.
Now, to stop anxiety attacks, most people try to eliminate their general anxiety first. And there are many natural remedies and therapies to help you do this, e.g. hypnosis, psychotherapy, counselling, meditation, yoga, acupuncture, deep breathing exercises, visualization techniques, music therapy, etc.But the key to unlocking the real mystery of how to stop panic attacks is to recognize that you have a real fear of having more anxiety attacks. You see, once having suffered the horrifying symptoms, you clearly never want to repeat that experience. So you end up with a conscious or unconscious 'fear' of having one. And guess what? This very fear (being anxiety) builds up on your already high anxiety levels and triggers another anxiety attack!
Start to go out and put yourself in situations that you don't comfortable in. Take small steps to do this, see a positive outcome in your mind and see people attracted to you. Right now you've avoided social situations and thus created a negative memory to those types of situations. If you've been invited to a party and you've made all different of excuses to avoid it, the next time a party comes up you're going to feel anxious. Start attending parties and nights out even if it will shock everyone that you've said yes. You'll only have to put up with that once.
