HOW TO AVOID FREAKING OUT

[1428SRTYBK]

How to mitigate an anxiety attack with no friends and no support system. How to not say what you want to say. How to avoid a freak out physically. Does anyone know how to not have a panic freak out attack when confronted with moderate to severe anxiety. I feel like I am losing control and I wish there was something I could do to make me feel better, less reactive, less depressed and less suicidal. I just feel so hopeless to a point that I want to avoid leaving my house in the future altogether. I can’t drive on my own and I haven’t been able to reach out to any friends. I feel alone. I am losing hope and my grasp on life. I don’t think my life is worth living. Wishing for some support from one angry, bitter lifeless person to another. Is there anything I can do that doesn’t involve medication. Is there be things I should be doing every single day to mitigate any anxiety? Just so alone and so sad. Tired of ruining my life and the lives of people around me. Tired of being so fucking disgusting and miserable.

Meditation is a must!! Try Hope and Help From Your Nerves by Claire Weeks or she has a couple audios on YouTube. Try Dare app (free version). There are a lot more and you can look up CBT self help if therapy with a councilor isn't an option or needed.

You have more control over your panic/anxiety attacks than you think. It's a matter ofchanging your perspective in what might happen. When we give up, feel hopeless, we

basically are turning our control over to anxiety. Crying and wishing it would go away

does nothing. It only enhances the fear and the fear increases the adrenaline and the over abundance of adrenaline goes into an attack. Circle of fear completed.

However, if we either avoid getting that far or break that cycle we are in, attacks will

start decreasing in frequency. If we don't put a stop to this, it eventually may lead

to Agoraphobia. Believe me I know.

I spent years living in fear and suffering panic attacks. I didn't have a forum. Family & friends

all turned their back on me I needed to go forward. First I was going to show everyone that

I didn't need them and I would get better. But then, I decided to do it for me. I deserved to

get my life back and I knew I would. Unfortunately, it didn't happen right away. Because of my fear of everything in life, I became Agoraphobic for 5 years.

During that time, I was on medication, had therapy multiple times a week. I got no where.

There had to be something else. It was then I hit the books, the internet and was determined

to find the "key" to success. In combining all different modalities, I literally brainwashed my mind. I turned negativity into positivity. As the good Dr. Claire Weekes' had stated, I accepted anxiety as but a thought that went awry. It was in my power now to reverse this thought process that I had gotten into a habit.

It's okay to get angry, but get angry at the right thing....ANXIETY. After all this entity has

stolen your life from right under you. Time to claim your life back. I use Meditation and

Breathing along with other methods each and every day. 3x a day. Even though I am in full control of my thoughts and actions, I continue to strengthen my mind each day so that if

and when stress should become overpowering for a day or two, I am in full control to overcome it.

Anxiety will never have a place in my life again. We're here to help you on your journey xx

The say when you help others you concentrate less on yourself, then again we are in a pandemic and face to face volunteering may not be the best choice. How about online volunteering, helping out or creating a support group in FB or any social media for people who are alone and feeling lonely?

I'd say it would be good to read about cognitive reframe. Its a concept where you kind of let that anxiety go for a minute and try to help the overactive part of your brain realize that, the bad things your brain were preemptively reacting too didn't even end up happening. Don't get me wrong I know sometimes an anxious brain can be right that something bad was going to happen, but if you're always thinking something bad is going to happen then of course sometimes it does. An example would be like" oh, I had anxiety that I couldn't talk to the person in the drive through without stuttering". So after you go through the anxiety anyway and nothing bad happened and you get your food, give yourself a mental pat on the back and tell your brain see nothing bad happened there was no reason for that anxiety to be there at the beginning of any little adventure.
