How do I overcome my panic attacks…I don even know whats causing them…?
Hey sweetie, sorry to hear about your situation. I’ve suffered from severe anxiety for many years, and as with you, sometimes better sometimes a lot worse. These problems started at five and that makes you an anxiety prone person. Your body and mind do not respond to physical and psychological stress the way most people do. It is not uncommon for symptoms to disappear as you get a grip on things and then suddenly a traumatic experience (like a car accident) can jolt your system, and symptoms will resurface. I am assuming you also “hyper-react” to stress. What I mean is that things that stress people will take hold of you and put you in a state of panic/stress more magnified than the normal response level. It can really get in the way of normal everyday functioning. The only symptom you’ve mentioned are panic attacks, so let’s deal with that. When a panic attack comes, face it head on. Tell yourself “THIS IS JUST A PANIC ATTACK. IT’S NOT GOING TO HURT ME.” Do that every time. Be firm as
