How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Panic Attacks

Panic Attack

I am writing this article in order to prove how people can learn to stop worrying about their panic attacks when they are just trying to get rid of the symptoms. If you’re like me, then you probably have experienced a panic attack or several before. I know that for me personally, my mind is racing with thoughts that only make the situation worse (stressful situation=panic attack).

And most times, my heart is beating at an increased rate and even though I try breathing exercises, I’m still not calming down. That’s when it gets really scary; because my body is acting funny all on its own and there’s nothing, I can do to control what’s happening (and sometimes my mind is thinking the worst).

What’s funny is that this article even exists in the first place; because if there was some way to go back in time and tell my past self that the episodes will pass, then I wouldn’t have become so mentally scarred. Some people actually learn to embrace their panic attacks when they are just trying to get rid of the symptoms.

Panic Disorder, according to Thomson Healthcare, is “a condition where a person has recurrent anxiety attacks which are not expected”. And it definitely does not help when my mind is racing with thoughts about how my body is failing me or why I can’t control what’s happening. But who knew that one day, I would learn to stop worrying about panic attacks? It really put things into perspective for me. And in the end, I was able to embrace and even love my panic attacks when they were just trying to get rid of the symptoms.
