Hey, I really don't why I get panic attacks. Can you please explain them? ![]() Hi, It s perfectly natural to not know where your panic attacks come from. They can arise from a variety of different situations, individual to each person. The scientific reason is that if your body under goes lots of physical or mental strain a panic attack can happen. So for example, if you are put in a situation that makes you terrified or extremely anxious, your brain can't cope with all the signals it's receiving and triggers a panic attack. It might be worth keeping a diary of everytime you have a panic attack and what happened just before it. This way you will be able to identify possible triggers for your panic attacks. Once you know what triggers them you can work on creating coping mechanisms. - Christian x Sent in VIA TWE chat box

hi. I don't really know how to do this. I can't talk about my feelings. I can't explain them. last month's I've been having panic attacks more and more often.. it's very scary. my family doesn't know. they know I've been having these but not how much.. I can't stop these attacks and I don't know what to do anymore.. -felicia. ![]() Hello, Panic attacks can be scary and horrible, but you can calm them down if you try. I haven't told my mum about me having panic attacks either so I know how you're feeling. We have articles on panic attacks and how to stop them if you go through them but my way to calm them easy is take a moment, breath to a tune or breath on my thumb. You could also play/fiddle with an item for example like your skirt, tie or any item of clothing. Stress balls can really help too! The best thing to do is to tell someone you trust, like a friend or a family member because the more you bottle it up the worse it's going to get. Try keeping a track of your panic attacks so you know if they're getting really bad because you can then know a rough guide of how your panic attacks are. So you could write down the time you had one, the date, the time it finished, how long it lasted etc. I hope you have an excellent day! Katie xo |
