Hi there,
Is the # of attacks you've had, way out of the # you would ordinarily experience? If so, have there been any changes to your routine or surroundings that would "trigger" these attacks? Just the slightest change can do this to many people. I am one of those. I don't handle pressure well anymore and my life has been full of it, lately.
Have you tried to get to a quiet place when the attacks occur? I know it's difficult at times. You're going to get nervous and have short, shallow breaths. I get the same way. When I have an anxiety/panic attack, the surge of adreneline makes me very shaky and at times I think I can hear my knees knocking together! I've found that trying to distance myself from the "trigger" helps, but it's not something that you want to do long-term.
You have all the power and more resources to draw from in order to take control and conquer those "triggers". It takes a lot of practice (and many attacks) to perfect the technique. You will come to realize when it's time to "pick your battles". As with everything else we've learned about life: It starts with a crawl, goes on to finding our balance, and finally, knowing when to run with it. It will take some time and effort.
Here's to you,
Della from SC
