Signs of Panic Disorders and Handling Unwanted Thoughts

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed

The panic disorder symptoms may differ from every individual and some people who suffer from panic attacks may not have a few of them at all.

Below is the list of symptoms I got elsewhere.

Choking sensations or lump in throat
Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort
Muscle pain, especially in neck or shoulders
Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body
Inappropriate/Disturbed thoughts
Urgently needing to urinate or defecate
Chills or hot flushes
Sweating
Derealization (feeling unreal or dreamy)
Fear of losing control or going crazy
Dizziness or unsteadiness
Blushing or skin blotches
Chest pain or discomfort
Depersonalization (feeling outside yourself or like you don’t exist)

Having one of these symptoms does not mean that you are under a panic attack but you would surely know it when you are. There’s a big change in the way you feel when you are threatened by a panic attack. Anxiety is the seed of panic attacks and is mainly caused by fear. Whatever the fear is, it doesn’t matter if the fear is irrational or not. You have to be careful about fear and anxiety because they can easily take control of your mind if you don’t know how to handle it. Adrenaline can cause to worry too much about nothing at all.

Unwanted thoughts can be dangerous but you need to be aware of them before you can control them. These thoughts take a toll on your mental energy, put you on edge and clutter your minds. If you let your unwanted thoughts overcome you, fear and anxiety will take over and pretty soon you’ll have a panic attack. Things will seem to get worse to no end.

By first being aware of your thoughts you can then let it run its course until they go away. You know what I mean right? Sometimes the thought are there but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are aware of them. But you would surely be aware of its effects if you don’t acknowledge it. You can be in much better shape by simply taking notice of what you’re thinking at any given moment. You can even go further by making it a point to ask yourself what you’re thinking at any moment. You can control it but you have to be aware first.

Most of your unwanted thoughts would probably go away once you are aware of it. Practice this and make it a habit and you’ll be on your way to becoming free of anxiety.
