Tips for Helping to Reduce Stress and Panic Attacks
Panic attacks and anxieties are the result of tensions, stress, and the fear of losing something. The Healthcare Industry’s hottest selling property is the anti-depressants and anti-stress drugs due to inabilities to cope with stress and fear. Almost every disease imaginable could be a relation to the condition of your mind. Various books written by ancient Indian and Chinese doctors have shown that the root cause of all diseases is stress, yet many fail to tell you that fear is the root of most stress. The books often state that simple living and following a good diet can keep most of the diseases at bay or at least prevent a flare-up.
Thus, it is extremely important to eliminate or at least bring down the stress from our everyday lives to a minimum possible level. It is possible to reduce stress from our lives by adhering to a proper exercise stress free and dietary regimes. You may wonder now what it takes to get through stress and start living a healthier life. First, it requires a strong will power and determination and/or stamina to change and lead a better lifestyle. Smoking, booze, late night parties, lack of physical exercise and high-fat diet are all responsible for increasing stress in our daily lives. In order to find a cure you can either run away from the hazardous chemicals or strike a perfect balance between them. Quit smoking, drink less, avoid late night parties, avoid loud music, and follow a proper exercise and dietary regime.
The major causes of stress are the atmosphere around you, the changes in your body and your thought process. Thus, it is equally important to change the way you think to deal with stress more effectively. It is virtually impossible to eliminate stress from our everyday lives but it is up to us whether we want to befriend stress and turn it into an advantage, or make it our worst enemy, inviting greater damage.
Check out the below mentioned points to eliminate stress-causing agents from your daily lives:
- Financial Condition How are you faring financially? Most of the people today are stressed out because their needs are not satisfactorily met by their income. Some of them take loans in order to satisfy their needs but seldom do they foresee the repercussions of their actions. These people can shortly satisfy themselves by buying the item they desired from the loan but when it comes to returning the money, they hardly find themselves in a position to return that borrowed money. The result of all this - more stress. You must carefully plan your spending. Make budget every month allocating the money properly between what is needed and what is desired. It may look like a small thing but I promise you that it’ll go a long way in helping you reduce those panic attacks and anxiety related disorders from your everyday lives.
- Health Condition Keep a check on your health at all times. Never let yourself get overweight or underweight. Exercise or at least walk for 10-15 minutes daily to maintain a proper blood flow in your body. Exercise greatly increases your stamina, blood flow to mind and can be extremely helpful in reducing those Panic attacks, and anxiety related disorders from your life.
- Your Social Life One must maintain a healthy social life. After all a human beings are social animals but that does not mean that you have to be overly social. Maintain a perfect balance in your social life and the time you devote to yourself. Do not do drugs. They may look hip and it may seem to increase your stature amongst your friends but believe me they don‘t do anything of that sort. The only effect that they have is that they make your body hollow from inside. Do you know that an average cigarette contains a few hundred different chemicals? Moreover, some a few thousand would you want to take that inside you after knowing this?
Following these points will help you all go a long way in reducing the unwanted anxiety related disorders and panic attacks.

I have to agree with this entire post as I am victim to extreme panic attacks and anxiety. I am on medication for it, which I do not like taking, but without it I don’t feel like me.
I have tried the all of the above except stopping smoking. Which i really need to do.
Another thing that can help so much is finding that right friend/girlfriend/boyfriend and just tell them your problems. get it off your chest. Then you will have someone that understands why you are stressed and you don’t have that feeling that you are some kind of freak. I’ve found that talking to my wife (fiance) is the best thing. She understands everything that is going on in my life and it’s not easy to cope with (it’s not your normal every day stress) and i feel at ease knowing that I have at least one person in this world who understands why and where i am coming from. My worst problem was holding everything in and trying to be the “strong man with tons of pride, blah blah, etc…”, but once you can let that go with someone you trust it helps a lot. TRUST ME! People deal with stress in so many different ways. You have to find your way that will relieve some of it; computer, golf, surfing, skating, music, etc… there are so many things that you can do. I actually have certain movies I watch that for some reason, and i don’t know why….but they bring my stress level down. Maybe it’s just the fact that i’m laying on the couch with someone (be it my fiance or a good friend) and just relaxing and watching a movie).
There are people that i know (like my fiance who can take on so many things and take control of it with ease). Then again, there are people like me who can still cram everything into a day that’s very stressfull but it effects my body.
Read books on this stuff, it might sound fruity and some of you might think it’s stupid (i did at first), but one of my first managers at one of my first jobs was like a father away from home and I started getting my anxiety attacks there. he gave me a book that basically tells you to understand that there are things in life that you just CAN NOT control, therefore do NOT try and control them because by doing so you are doing nothing but adding stress to your life. I could go on and on about this. I have been through test after test for my heart to make sure it wasn’t heart related and it’s nothing but stress and the way my body handles it. Unfortunately it’s medication that fixes my problem and I wish it wasn’t because it is a medication that is highly addictive and I will (with my condition, and some of it is something else that is genetic that has to do with my nervous system) most likely be on this medication for he rest of my life. I hated the idea at first, but I also hated not feeling like me. I grew up hard and was very mature by the time I was 15yrs old (working full time). So maybe things in your child hood trigger it.
The point is to find your own way to deal with it and try and get it under control because it CAN kill you and not many people realize that. it’s a scary thought, but it’s true.

I agree, that the factors Financial Condition, Health Condition etc… are the biggest stress factors. I myself try to keep away from those factors. But, slowly my financial condition is getting in my way. Have 2 jobs, one its during the day i am a intern, and i am working part time as a store clerk. My savings account is getting smaller and smaller, and i have weeks to go to finish my internship. Because all of that, sometimes i don’t sleep at nights. I stopped going out, that is impacting my social life.
And everything repeats in a circle. its hard to run away.
But, i am starting to turn my life around, i eat better, slowly getting more exercise and this help’s to take some of the stress out.

I have been struggling with depression/stress and anxiety for awhile now. Some things I do to help if i’m in the mist of an anxiety attack are take deep breaths, do something calming like take a bath, or watch t.v.
