Anxiety Attacks Panic Attacks

Positive self talk during an anxiety attack can be of immeasurable help in more quickly resolving a situation that would otherwise continue to escalate out of control.   Positive self talk during an anxiety attack is condoned and encouraged by therapists and medical professionals.   Typically under normal circumstances, when anxiety attacks begin to come on, and are fueled by negative self talk, feelings and thoughts of worthlessness, feeling that you are closed in, or are going to die, or just can’t bear it anymore, and there is no excape.  Reminding yourself of the reality of the situation, that you are indeed just experiencing an anxiety attack and that it is really harmless and will pass.  If you have experienced anxiety or panic attacks before, remind yourself that you made it through them and will make it through this one as well.  Practice breathing and tell yourself that your breathing is helping to keep your panic attack under control and you are calming down, and are almost through it.  There are many, many different ways that you can use positive self talk to help you through anxiety attacks.  Think what you can do ahead of time and be prepared to help yourself through your next anxiety attack using positive self talk.
