Many people suffer from fear, anxiety and panic attacks. This problem originates from the flight and fright response but, in a person suffering from panic attacks the flight or fright response doesn’t turn off so the person is constantly in fear. Consequently, the central nervous system gets worn down, usually classified as a form of nervous breakdown. Primitive emotions associated with the flight or fright response are brought on as a result of perceived danger. It’s when this mechanism doesn’t turn off the adrenaline from the flight or fight response in the central nervous system, that anxiety and panic attacks are set off. This is where the panic attack and fear originates.
This destructive cycle of fear, anxiety and panic attacks moves in a globular circle with one triggering the other. Often, the person suffering from personality issues identifies anxiety as the major source of their distress. It appears that most people find it easier to admit to feeling anxious as opposed to being angry, controlling or traumatized. Fear, anxiety and panic attacks have deeper psychological roots, often not easily resolved. Consequently, entire lives are controlled by fear and anxiety. Taking mental breaks from anxiety and stress is critical. Sometimes everything that is important seems to demand immediate attention. In addition, at the first sign of anything going wrong, we instinctively react with fear. This is the first step leading to anxiety, burnout and panic attacks. Feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness, and desperation just add more fuel to the fear and anxiety. At these times, we need to remember that we can only do one thing at a time. The truth is that the only thing that is actually real is what is in front of us in this one moment. Another important thing to remember about anxiety is how to consciously take a break from it. Be aware of the things you can do that will lessen the perceived anxiety. This will give your body a much needed break. Helpful reminders can defuse the fear and ensure that you live life to its fullest every day. It takes constant discipline and perseverance to overcome our defects of character.
