Okay so I get frequent panic attacks/anxiety attacks and I find sometimes, that if they’re mild, I can talk myself out of it. Has anyone ever managed their anxiety and panic by self talk or reassurance? Does it really help?
Chosen Answer:
Self-talk and reassurance are my go-to fixes for managing an panic or anxiety disorder. I find if I also have a “safe person” to speak to this helps. My safe person knows a few key phrases for reassurance if I am so far gone that I am unable to help myself.
Another non-drug non-psychiatrist way to deal with panic and anxiety disorder is to build routine into your day. Sleep at the same time every night, wake up at the same time every day. Before bed have a night time routine (shut off the lights in the same order, brush your teeth/hair, wash your face in the same order). This prepares your mind for sleep and can ensure that you have a more restful sleep. Good sleeping habits go a long way to preventing anxiety attacks.

If the anxiety or panic attack is mild, then I think people can sometimes reason their way out. If the anxiety is severe, or the panic attacks are severe, then I don’t think reason or a positive mindset helps. It’s hard to have a positive mindset when you’re in a full blown panic, or when your anxiety is so bad you fear even being around people.
absolutely and another thing that helps is your diet. Limit ur amount of caffeine and sugar
The answer is absolutely yes!!! I used to get panic attacks in large crowds. Kind of embarrassing when you are in IKEA.
The system at the below website is all about identifying what causes panic attacks, and using mindset and other techniques to help quell them. Most people have seen results very quickly with this system.
Check it out and good luck!!!
