Anxiety attacks, also known as panic attacks, are episodes of intense panic or fear. Anxiety attacks usually occur suddenly and without warning. Sometimes there’s an obvious trigger - getting stuck in an elevator, for example, or thinking about the big speech you’re giving in a few hour - but for most cases, the attacks come out of the blue.

Anxiety attacks usually peak within ten minutes, and they rarely last more than a half hour. But during that short time, the terror can be so severe that you feel as if you’re about to die or totally lose control. The physical symptoms are themselves so frightening that many people believe they’re having a heart attack. After an anxiety attack is over, you may be worried about having another one, particularly in a public place where help isn’t available or you can’t easily escape.

This is where the real problem begin. This constant state of “worrying about another attack” is what makes anxiety attack stay. The more you fear and worry about it, the more likely it will hit you again...and again.

The key to getting rid of anxiety attacks lies in “undoing” that unnecessary fear. A main part of the fear comes from “believing that your about to die, or your stuck with some incurable illness”. In actual fact, your very far from dieing...and your certainly not going “mad” or incurable.

You cannot die from an anxiety attack, this is a fact, not a myth. Know that you will not die and assure yourself. Hiding and running away from it will not make anxiety attack go away. Accept the fact that you have anxiety attack and confront it. Once the reason for fear disappear, so to will the body’s reason for maintaining the panic response.

The next time you have another anxiety attack, do not panic, and let it do it worst. What will happen next?

Nothing!

Why?

Because you no longer fear it! No fear, no cause for panic and no more anxiety attacks!
