What is Anxiety and Symptoms of Anxiety Attacks!

For someone who never experience this before they get scared. Don’t be…Let’s go over what is the Anxiety and the symptoms of Anxiety Attacks.

The first time anxiety attack happens to a person, he or she gets so scared thinking it’s the end of the world. Not understanding what anxiety is becomes huge problem which effect their everyday life.

All the obstacles, unknowns, things we can’t understand – we are scared of, we’ll try to avoid them. Again, as in life things that come our way we cannot ignore or avoid, but we can hit them straight up. With anxiety attacks once you understand it, take it by the horns you are “cooping” with an illness and that is the only way to stop the symptoms of Anxiety Attacks.

Before it has happened to me, I had few friends acting weird, getting out of table during a dinner time, didn’t want to go out, and all of a sudden they loved staying at home… Does this sounds familiar? I didn’t understand what was going on until they opened up to me and told me their problem. Why am I telling you this? It is because, like many people I thought they were just little stressed out with every day lives, but this is the worst thing a person can do. Not to listen what a person who is dealing with anxiety is telling you.

Then it happened to me. I really did not connect the dots with others, but later on I finally understood what others were going through. I felt like I was really going to dye in the next two minutes. The only thing is, I wasn’t dying but the feeling was still with me. Some of the first symptoms of anxiety I experienced were Whiteness in face, hands shaking, heart going 100 mph….Terrible feeling, worse then the real dying and I was near the real death before in my life.

So when those symptoms of anxiety attack happened to me, I had the three worst days of my life. And I will repeat, the closeness to real death was not as real as this. I skipped work for 3 days, couldn’t talk much to anyone, my wife didn’t know what was happening, I couldn’t eat or go anywhere – my mind and the fear took over the control of me, my life and everything around me.

So I turned to the Internet. After everything I read, I started to fight it. I didn’t want to take any medication. You see, my first anxiety attack happened in the early morning after my first coffee. After a research I realized that coffee helps a lot triggering the attacks. I was addicted to coffee, drinking it for 20 years, but to help my anxiety I was ready to do anything. I spent hours on internet trying to find a cure, help, suggestions, anything…I learned that some special teas such as Jogy Tea Rest and Relax can Really help with anxiety and I replaced the coffee with the tea.

As much as this is really helpful, you have to realize that it is all in your mind. Your mind is controlling you and your response to the symptoms of Anxiety attacks. You have to learn to control your mind and that fear. Once you know how to do that, you will be able to cope with it. Anxiety attacks are sudden, but if you feel they are starting, and yes you can feel it…you just have to tell your self…I’m OK, it will pass, I am really not dying…
