How to Stop Panic Attacks and Stress Carmen Gilfillan

Having anxiety attacks can be a burden to people who are suffering from them

This can greatly affect one’s life, especially teenagers who suffer from anxiety attacks and stress (eg from exams)

Such attacks can ruin their growth socially, emotionally and psychologically

Understanding the triggers is helpful in finding effective ways to stop panic attacks and stress

If you are a teenager and you suffer from these attacks, it's best to determine what causes the condition

Is it due to too much schoolwork, exams, your family, your girlfriend or boyfriend, or because of your schoolmates?

The best way to stop something from happening is to know why it’s occurring in the first place

If the stress you’re under comes from schoolwork, consider sharing the burden...

… Don’t be afraid to ask for help from those around you such as your parents, siblings or schoolmates

Developing a support group and hence sharing the difficulties you’re facing…

… will help ease the kind of stress and anxiety that can lead to a panic attack

For those at school, these attacks can sometimes be caused by bullying…

… and children feeling that they are disliked by others in school

If this is you, look at ways you can start to become more assertive and confident

… so that bullies find it less easy to intimidate you

Using an assertive ‘inner voice’ to talk positively to yourself each day about your strong points helps raise your self esteem

Showing others they cannot scare you is the beginning of taking control of, and eventually stopping…

… the harassment, and the anxiety that results from it.

If, on the other hand, you are suffering from these attacks due to family issues,

… choose someone who is close to you and whom you trust to talk to

Work with this person to find ways to air your feelings in a constructive way…

… with a view to dealing with the issues that are troubling you

Feeling alone and saddled with a burden can worsen the kind of stress and anxiety that can lead to panic attacks

Finding ways to talk through issues with family members you trust

… may ease the anxiety and hence stop the associated panic attacks and stress
