Control Your Social Anxiety Symptoms Easily.

     Changing your thought process, and reactions to these thoughts is very important. If you don't, your negative reactions, and response, will intensify your symptoms. This will make it harder and harder to live a normal life every day. Your negative thoughts, and symptoms, will only become more frequent, and become more debilitating. The exhaustion that comes with an anxiety disorder is very overwhelming.

Controlling A Panic Attack

    When a panic attack hits you, the first thing you need to know and learn is to stop these emotions and feelings before they intensify. Panic attacks come on so quickly, and intensify so quickly, that you only have a matter of seconds to stop these attacks.

    At the very moment you feel any symptom come into play, or have a feeling that you believe will lead to a panic attack, the first thing you need to do is close your eyes and take a few soft light breaths and let the thought, fear, or symptoms pass.

Don't Fight It

    Don't fight it, or try to push it away. The more you try to fight it, or fear your symptoms, the more control you will lose over how intensified they get. You must learn to accept it. As you sit with your eyes closed and breathing softly, begin to take control. Take control of your thoughts. Feel the symptoms pass, but think, "I am fine, I am not crazy. This is real. I am in control. This is my body, and i am fine. I accept this for now, it is just my mind playing tricks on me. I am fine."

    Once you accept your fears and symptoms, you will, at the first thought or feeling of a panic attack, have control. Enough control to stop the panic attack and take control over your mind and body again.

Controlling Anxiety With Breathing

    Breathe softly, Use your belly to breathe. Inhale through your nose, and let it out through your mouth. Do this again and again, until you have control over your breathing. If you try breathing only through your mouth, and trying to do this quickly, you are only making it harder to breathe, and harder to relax your chest muscles.

    When you breathe in this way, it causes you to feel dizzy and disoriented. You must learn to slow your breathing down. This is where control comes in. While you are letting your symptoms pass and not concentrating on them. You should focus on breathing correctly. Do not think of the negative. Do not fight the symptoms. Let the symptoms pass freely and concentrate on breathing slowly, and softly, at the first feeling of panic.
