You have probably heard of a few tips for panic attacks, but have you heard that keeping a daily journal offers a great deal of help with overcoming these attacks?

That’s right.  Many people find it extremely beneficial to start an anxiety journal or an anxiety diary.  And, it can be started right away – no scouring through a store or waiting for a doctor’s appointment in order to get started.

It is also very important that panic attack sufferers write in their journal every day.  That way, they can not only describe their attacks, but also their general anxiety levels and day to day feelings.

When they do have their attacks, they should write down everything they can about them.  Among the many things they should describe are what day and time their attack happened, where they were, what they were doing and what symptoms they had.

Why?  So they and their doctors can analyze this information and learn more about the triggers and look for patterns.

For one thing, doctors need as much information as possible to help them diagnose these attacks and work on a treatment plan.

Also, it helps the sufferers understand when and why they have these attacks and what emotions are involved.  They start to face their fears.  As you may have heard, things become less fearful when you start to understand them.

Identifying just where the problems are can be a huge portion of the battle with these attacks.  And it is a battle that can be won.
