Understanding Stress And Fear In How To Get Rid Of Anxiety And Panic

Self Help Guide

How do you feel? What is making you tick? Why do you feel anxious and panicky? The first
question only you can answer, as well as the second, however if you feel anxious often and
panicky, possibly I can answer your questions.

First of all, fear and anxiety or common, ordinary response to stimulus of the mind, which is
perceived by the mind and rises and falls depending on the level of threat perceived. To help you
understand anxiety and fear response we can consider anxiety response vs. fear response. If a
person receives a bill in the mail, which is due in less than a week and no money is available,
anxiety often sets in while increasing the blood level. If a person is driving and skids nearly
missing a semi, thus this is a response of fear.

The problem is fear and anxiety work hand in hand, since both will send similar or the same
signals. For instance, if fear responds it will send to the mind confusion, negative thoughts,
doubts, apprehension, helplessness, worry, and the like. Likewise, while anxiety strikes it will
send the same results. This often confuses the mind since the anxiety could have vague meaning
and be imprecise. On the other hand, fear could have well definition, yet the mind response to
both actions in like manner. The key then is training the mind to get rid of anxiety and panic, thus
training the mind to response to fear and anxiety on its level.

Panic attacks are fear on an intense level. Sometimes panic attacks come from imagined
responses, while some times the panic attacks are valid. The key is controlling panic before it
controls you. For instance, if you are driving and nearly hit a semi, rather than losing control train
the mind to use self-control. One thing I find of interest is on nearly every horror, action, or drama
movie you watch the victims make fatal mistakes that cost their lives. For instance, possibly
you've seen the movie Wolf Creek. The movie is based on true events and involves a serial killer
that is currently in Australia claiming lives today. In the movie, a young girl escapes the ropes the
killer tied her in and wandered around looking for her friends. In the movie, the young girl spots
her friend in an old barn and the killer is torturing the young woman. The girl thinks, finds
opportune and prances. She sneaks in the building and finds a high-power shotgun with scope
attached. Now instead of aiming, firing, and killing the monster, she acts out of her fear, stress,
panic, and anxiety and shoots off his ear. He passes out shortly, thus instead of killing this
monster a second time by bashing in his head, she ended up dead from fatal mistakes throughout
the movie.

As you can see failing to control stress, fear, anxiety and panic can lead to death. If the girl
thought, again she would have pointed, aimed at the top of the head or heart the heart and all
three of the victims would have escaped the havoc.

Panic attacks can cause a series of problems. Some of the problems include choking, dyspnea,
sweats, numbness, trembling, depersonalization, and/or derealization, hot flashes, heart
acceleration, chills, pain in the chest area and so forth. Now ask self, how do you feel? What
makes you tick? How do you cope with anxiety, stress, panic, and fear?
