Three Steps to Help Shorten a Panic Attack
Use the Adrenalin to Your Advantage
The Starting Line...
1. Fuel. Like a race car needs special fuels, our bodies need special fuels to run at peak performance. Eating a well-balanced assortment of foods is one of the most important things we can do to offset the shakes brought on by anxiety or low blood sugar. As long as we do this, and we don't have to deprive ourselves of dessert, we will have made an important contribution to our own well-being. Being proactive is a way to use this extra energy to your advantage. Whether we call it a panic attack or extra energy...it can be a useful tool.
And They're Off!
2. A panic attack feels the way it sounds, doesn't it? When we feel attacked it is only natural to want to fight back, to defend, or to run. Tell yourself it's okay to feel these things and then tell yourself you don't have to do those things to survive the attack. All you need to do is wait it out. It really will go away and sooner rather than later if your not running on empty. It's like a sneeze. Once it's out, it's almost over. Now would be a good time to refuel too because the adrenalin surges do use up energy. A good choice would be foods that are easy to digest including, baked, broiled or boiled chicken, bannanas, pudding, etc..,
You Can Win the Race...
3. Okay, there now. That wasn't so bad was it? The after effects of a panic attack do last for a while. Mostly there is fatigue and a common fear of another one coming. And it can happen, especially if we feed the anxiety instead of feeding ourselves what we need to function as a well oiled machine. Rest, relax as much as possible and hold on. It does get better. I promise.
