Is there a quick an easy way to stop an anxiety attack?
I’m in the middle of an anxiety attack *right now* and I need to claw my way out of it. Can you help? What do you do to relax?
I hate my stupid anxiety so much I could cry!
I really, really understand. I’ve been through it many times. The answer to your question is yes, sort of. Maybe it isn’t so easy until you get the hang of it, but there is a way to end an anxiety or panic attack.
This is going to sound a little different, so stick with me. There are three things you said in your question we need to change. No, you didn’t do anything wrong, it’s just a tough concept to get a hold of.
First, you don’t need to claw your way out of anything. Clawing or fighting or running from anything makes adrenaline flow. We don’t want adrenaline flow. So, don’t claw, just accept your going to feel rotten for a while and the anxiety will go away much more quickly.
Don’t hate your anxiety. I know an anxiety attack is no joyful event, but hatred stirs adrenaline. Again, we don’t want that. The anxiety just is. Don’t associate an emotion to it. Take it in stride as best you can. Anxiety hates not being hated. Don’t hate it and it will not survive.
Don’t try not to cry. If you feel like crying, let those tears go. There is no crime in that.
In short, when we fight anxiety we fan its flames, when we tell it to hit us with its best shot, we find out it is really a toothless monster. It needs us to fear what it cannot do us to make it so terrible.
You have the most powerful force on earth that will overcome anxiety any time. That is the power of giving up. Use it.
