Symptoms of Panic Disorders and Controlling Unwanted Thoughts

By zoe | Jul 9, 2009

The panic attack symptoms you just saw in the video are spot on but there are many more.

Here’s a list from someplace else.

  • Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body
  • Rapid heart beat, pounding heart or palpitations
  • Chills or hot flushes
  • Skin losing color
  • Dizziness or unsteadiness
  • Smothering or shortness of breath sensations
  • Shaking visibly or inside
  • Depersonalization (feeling outside yourself or like you don’t exist)
  • Derealization (feeling unreal or dreamy)
  • Urgently needing to urinate or defecate
  • Muscle pain, especially in neck or shoulders
  • Fear of losing control or going crazy
  • Sweating
  • Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort

You would know when you have a panic attack. If you think that you would die or feel like you’re out of your mind then there’s a good chance that you’re suffering a panic attack. When fear is present, so is anxiety. They almost always come together. Whatever the fear is, it doesn’t matter if the fear is irrational or not. This fear results in an increased level of adrenaline. This adrenaline is what causes a lot of damage.

This may seem simplistic but if I were to give only one advice to people who suffer from panic attacks it would be to be aware your their thoughts even if iis bad. Sometimes it seems that your thoughts are really separate from you. These thoughts take a toll on your mental energy, put you on edge and clutter your minds. Don’t let your mind go on autopilot if you can’t stay calm. Things will seem to get worse to no end.

By first being aware of your thoughts you can then let it run its course until they go away. You know what I mean right? Sometimes the thought are there but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are aware of them. But you would surely be aware of its effects if you don’t acknowledge it. You can be in much better shape by simply taking notice of what you’re thinking at any given moment. You can even go further by making it a point to ask yourself what you’re thinking at any moment. You can control it but you have to be aware first.

Most of your unwanted thoughts would probably go away once you are aware of it. Practice this and make it a habit and you’ll be on your way to becoming anxiety free.
