How to deal with panic attacks?

[Anonymous]

I'm having 2 jobs, I'm getting stressed out due to problems at work. I don't have time for myself. My body can't handle the pain. I feel like turning 50 years old. I keep trying to find a decent job but it's tough. I don't even know how much I need to fight for it. I'm loosing hope. Despair in life. I don't have anyone special and even has no close friends.

And I been toyed by fake friends recently. I feel so sad.. I don't know how to cope this feeling.

Last night , I stopped by at food stall which is next to the road. Saw a kitten playing with a bug on the street. The seller kept ignoring his own cat , and I it was only me tried to put him back to the stall. So these thing made me more scared to see what will happen next. I really scared to see if the cat get hit by vehicle. Without I realised, my hands was shaky... luckily, nothing happens to the kitten because the seller saw his kitten kept playing on the road and he keep it inside.

And when I got home, my anxiety got worst for no reason..

Sorry for venting too much.. if you know how to deal with it without need a psychologist.. I would be happy to try.

Anxiety is very much in the body, a body response, it is actually harmful if chronic but there are things you can do to recover from stress and feel much better like: 1) breathing 2) moving your body, engaging your muscles 3) having an activity that takes your focus away from your mind like a manual hobby or a sport etc 4) being in nature. Breathing is reallly effective it feels like you can reset your nervous system in 60 deep breaths… the rest is also very effective this is not BS, you really need to give this to yourself… otherwise you never rest/recover… so you need time for yourself. I took this from articles from the Harvard Business Review basically there’s a lot of content available…

And you need to figure out your life ofc … :/ good luck 😊

These things don’t cure depression by the way, but they only help cope with recovering from stress. They are used by pilots or surgeons for example. If you’re depressed you have underlying issues

Panic attacks and anxiety are what I like to call the “what if” game. You keep asking what if this happens, what if this, etc. For example if your in a large crowded room you start to ask yourself what if there a fire? What if we can’t get out? And so on. The best way to deal with it (in my opinion) is just to answer those questions. What if there’s a fire? Then locate the fire extinguishers, locate the fire exits. Think about where you can go.
The best way to alleviate the anxiety is to calm yourself by becoming confident in what you can do in case something bad happens. Simply put, plan for the worst, hope for the best.

That's situational anxiety. People with severe anxiety disorders can get attacks without thinking about "what if?". It's an unexplained fear that comes on for no reason. So, what you've said doesn't work in that scenario.

Surprisingly you’re wrong. Panic attacks don’t come from nothing. They come from thinking and feeling. Both of which are controllable and preventable. If you feel a panic attack coming then you can stop it by thinking, by not reacting to it, but by stopping and acting upon it.
People seem to think that they aren’t responsible for their feelings. That others make them feel a certain way which just isn’t true. We learn to act a specific way to specific stimuli. When we encounter those situations again we REact. Reacting to things means that you’re easily manipulated to do things we don’t want to do. If we think first and then act then we are in control of the situation and therefore don’t have panic attacks.

yes, you have to reduce your input junk and increase your joy.

Journal /pray end of day what was good... anything good, write it down and be thankful.

Meditate 20 min 2 times a day if you can find some time. else take several minute breaks by putting hands over eyes blocking out all light and breathing...

Slow down and breathe and let go what you cannot control. What you can positively influence, do that.

you can lookup "Jewel"... she has a program for people like you as she lived through it an is very successful.

stop eating sugar and junk. we crave sugar/fat when stressed. natural, but makes things worse. eat healthy only. exercise... walk.

I have been there too believe me and I know what that is like I worked several jobs too with panic attacks. I don't have all the answers. But I have the best one. Have you been Saved have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

2 Timothy 1:7

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

By seeking help. Counseling or therapy can be extremely beneficial. Anxiety disorders is a mental health issue, so if it is negatively affecting your quality of life, you should talk to a mental health specialist.

You're obviously struggling, and it would appear what you have been doing so far isn't improving the issue. The next logical step would be to talk to a specialist.

Maybe you need to dial it down to one job and get some rest and relaxation. We're human beings not wage earning machines.

Have a camomile tea and listen to YouTube relaxation guided meditation. You should find yourself feeling better.
