The symptoms of panic disorder you just saw in the video are spot on but there are many more.

Below is the list of symptoms I got elsewhere.

• Fear of losing control or going crazy
• Smothering or shortness of breath sensations
• Shaking visibly or inside
• Muscle pain, especially in neck or shoulders
• Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort
• Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body
• Chills or hot flushes
• Feeling light-headed
• Skin losing color
• Choking sensations or lump in throat
• Urgently needing to urinate or defecate
• Dizziness or unsteadiness
• Depersonalization (feeling outside yourself or like you don’t exist)
• Derealization (feeling unreal or dreamy)

The feeling of a panic attack is undeniable. There’s a big change in the way you feel when you are threatened by a panic attack. If you are prone to panic attacks, fear is your worst enemy because it brings about anxiety which in turn bring about more fear and anxiety. Fear can be irrational at times but it can still bring about anxiety. Fear is the cause of anxiety and results in an increased level of adrenaline. Too much adrenaline can do much damage to your mind and body.

It’s important that you manage your thoughts but first you need to be aware of them. These thoughts rob you off your mental energy, put you on edge and clutter your minds. Your mind often goes on autopilot and more unwanted thoughts come in resulting in more anxiety. 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.
