Understand that you ARE HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK, and that it won't last forever. Most attacks only last anywhere from a few minutes up to no longer than a half an hour. Give or take.\u003cbr\u003eEven though it may be difficult, try to lay down and RELAX. If you can't lay down, sit still, close your eyes and focus on slow, even, breathing. This will help ease the symptoms somewhat. Not completely mind you, but enough that you can make it through.\u003cbr\u003eThe REAL trick in battling Anxiety is to redirect your train of thought. Keep yourself as busy as you can and let the thoughts of fear of an oncoming attack melt away. They will. And the more you practice this reversal of thought, the better you will get at it and be able to manage your Anxiety attack better the next time you feel one coming on.\u003cbr\u003eIf it becomes too much to manage on your own, seek medical assistance quickly. Don't feel stupid for having to call an emergency squad. That's their job! These courageous folks get calls like this ALL THE TIME, so you shouldn't feel the least bit of embarrassment or guilt in needing their aid.\u003cbr\u003eCopyright©2006 http:\/\/www.self-improvement-guide.com\u003cbr\u003e12\u003cbr\u003eWhat Can You Do To Support Someone Suffering From An Anxiety Disorder?\u003cbr\u003eAs we go through this information, I want you to understand that this section is of importance to those trying to help another person who is experiencing, or dealing with, Anxiety on a daily basis. How you provide support to them may help them to control their Anxiety to some degree.\u003cbr\u003eFirst thing is first. NEVER belittle or try to downplay someone's Anxiety Disorder. This is a REAL disorder and should be respected as such. Don't just dismiss their episode as a one time event, or try and 'solve' their problem through rationalization.\u003cbr\u003eYou have to understand that when a person is actually going through an Anxiety attack rationality is not something they are concentrating on. Or listening to. This is an extremely frightening experience and no matter how much you'd want to, you CANNOT MAKE THIS EXPERIENCE GO AWAY. Only the individual who is HAVING the attack has the power to do this. Not YOU.\u003cbr\u003eThe absolute WORST thing you can do is to act as if they are LYING or ACTING to get attention. This is simply not the case. While you may BELIEVE this to be true because you have never yourself experienced the unrelenting terror of an Anxiety attack, that doesn't mean that it isn't happening to someone you care about.\u003cbr\u003eImagine for a second that you had witnessed a \"physical\" accident that your loved one or dear friend was a part of. Something you could SEE the outcome from. Wouldn't you do everything in your power to help them?\u003cbr\u003eWhat if they were trapped inside a car that was on fire? What if they were trapped underwater and were drowning? You would want to aid them, wouldn't you? What if they had stopped breathing? Would you just stand around watching them pass away? Or would you do everything you could to administer CPR to them, even if you weren't sure you were doing it correctly?\u003cbr\u003eWhile the above examples are extreme, sometimes, to an Anxiety sufferer, it absolutely feels like the end of their world. As if they are drowning in a sea of chaos and disparity,unable to pull themselves out.\u003cbr\u003eCopyright©2006 http:\/\/www.self-improvement-guide.com\u003cbr\u003e13\u003cbr\u003eAlso, by attempting to in effect ignore the Anxiety attack, you are probably contributing to another disorder that goes hand in hand with Anxiety. . .Depression.\u003cbr\u003eInstead of holding them down 'under water', try throwing them a life preserver the next time they have an attack.\u003cbr\u003eHow can you do that? Just BE there for them. Let them know that while you may not understand what they are going through, you are there for them and will stay until they feel better.\u003cbr\u003eDo NOT try and force someone out of an Anxiety attack. It could make the attack that much worse for them. Just let the attack happen naturally, and in most, if not all, cases, their bodies will help them come out of the 'hot' zone all on it's own. And if it doesn't, get them to the nearest emergency room as soon as you can. Or call an emergency squad to take them.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, NEVER try and give someone suffering from an Anxiety attack any type of prescription drugs that have not been prescribed by their family physician. Seems like common sense, but when you see a loved one going through such a painful event, you really want to help them. Believe me, THIS WILL NOT HELP THEM. Getting them to a professional source, such as an emergency room or their own family physician, for help WILL.\u003cbr\u003eCopyright©2006 http:\/\/www.self-improvement-guide.com\u003cbr\u003e14\u003cbr\u003eWhere To Get Help For Your Anxiety?\u003cbr\u003eIf you have exhausted all your own mental power","brand":"Laiftllc.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162276643056,"sku":"2940013934979","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013934979_p0.jpg?v=1763597560","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013934979","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
