Hi, it’s Ben. How are you doing? I hope you’re having an awesome day today and if you’re not, that’s okay. Today is going to be really helpful for you because the truth is that you’re having some difficulties with anxiety disorder and anxiety, or panic, or agoraphobia or whatever it is for you. So, today it’s going to be really helpful because it’s going to teach you exactly how to deal with high anxiety, anxiety attacks and panic attacks.
One of the things I learned about panic and anxiety that was really helpful for me, and I wish I’d known it right from the very beginning and I hope that it’s as valuable to you as it was for me is, that panic and anxiety, anxiety attack symptoms, high anxiety are very temporary, meaning that obviously a panic attack, it doesn’t come up and stay high forever and ever, that anxiety just can’t last. It simply has to burn off, it just can’t last.
So, one of the things that I’d read somewhere in a book, I can’t remember where it was now, but it is that anxiety is just like a music note. It rises up and then it comes down, so it’s almost like a music note. This is going to be the worst looking music note you’ve ever seen. There you are, look at that, I don’t know. It looks more like a flag.
The point is, that anxiety disorder, anxiety attacks and panic attacks, they have a peak to them and they have a trough. Trough meaning here’s a peak here and trough down here. Now, one of the things that was super helpful for me in regards to specifically panic attacks, is that you end up getting to this peak here where just like ahh, and you feel like everything is about to just completely explode and then all of a sudden what happens?
It’s just kinds of breaks off doesn’t it, it doesn’t get stronger. You get to this point and all of a sudden it starts to break off and then you end up experiencing generally another peak after that and then probably another peak and another peak and it just kind of trails off until you get to this point where you just feel like ah, thank God that’s over.
You just go back to feeling somewhat normal or you go back to at least feeling this level of anxiety. Let’s see, your mid level of anxiety is here. You go back to this mid level of anxiety that’s a little bit more normal and definitely a lot more handle-able, something that dealing with is not really that difficult or challenging but the important thing to note here, is that there is a peak and the trough, a peak and a trough.
The high anxiety, whether you’ve got an anxiety disorder and you experience high times of anxiety or you end up experiencing panic attacks, what happens is, is that it rises to a peak, falls down, rises to a peak, falls down rises to a peak and there’s this trail off effect that happens. The really important thing to note here is that your time at this peak, just like a music note, is limited.
It can only last so long and generally it just falls right off really quickly after. You get to that peak and you fall off. The next time you find yourself moving into a panic attack, and you and I both know how that feels, because all of a sudden you’re going into it and you’re like, oh man I’m about to have a panic attack and you feel those feelings throughout your body and you’re just, oh man here it comes here it comes and you think to yourself, I’ve got to hang on to this one.
What happens is that, this is kind of like part two of this video, what happens is that, that hanging on that you do, oh God here it comes… What happens is that hanging on actually makes it worse. The reason why is because of that strong resistance, that pushing away from the anxiety.
You just try to brace yourself for it where as the best thing you could possibly do and I know it is challenging but the best thing you can possibly do is just kind of sit there, lay there, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing. If you’re standing, sitting, laying down, you’ve got to just let it wash up over you and then wash off.
This is not a method for healing anxiety, this is a method for dealing with anxiety. This is a method, a coping technique for dealing with. This will not heal your anxiety or your panic but one thing is for certain is that it helps to put it in scope, because all of a sudden you don’t want to experience it the same way and all of a sudden you realize oh it has one big ass peak to it and then a couple of small ones.
What happens then is that as you’re moving in that place, you’re just like oh men here it comes, all you have to do is realize there’s going to be one peak, there’s going to be a couple of other little peaks after it and it’s not going to kill me, I can live through it, I’m going to be okay.
What happens is as you live through this peak and trough thing that happens with high anxiety and panic, what happens is you start to see the nature of panic and high anxiety and so much so that you start to realize that all of a sudden, huh, there really isn’t anything for me to fear here. Even though the feelings are super high and super strong and often times extremely overwhelming and you get those really trapped, trapped, trapped feelings and feeling like I’m about to explode, I’m about to die, my head is going to explode. When you have those feelings just know that there’s specific peak to them and there’s also a trough.
I hope you find this super helpful. This was something that was extremely valuable for me. Know that the next time you’re kind of heading into a panic attack or you feel it coming on, know these two things. There are peaks and troughs to it. There are a certain number of peaks and you’re going to go through it and you’re going to be totally fine.
You think of them like waves. They’re just like a wave, the wave goes up and you ride back down. The wave goes up and you ride it back down. It goes up and you ride it back down and eventually get to this spot and you’re just like, thank God that’s over, not the least bit enjoyable but thankfully it’s over. That’s the first part.
The second part is, is when you feel it coming on, knowing this here is extremely valuable but the other part is, is that by knowing this here, it helps you to not resist the panic attack the same way because if you resist the anxiety you resist the panic attack you feel like just hold on for dear life during this experience.
What will happen is, it’ll tend to make these peaks even higher. Just let it kind of happen. Just ride the wave, let it happen and let yourself just kind of let it break off. Just let it roll over you and let it roll off. The truth is, it’s not going to kill you and it can’t hurt you. You’re going to live through it just like everyone else has. Panic attacks cannot kill you.
You’re going to be okay. I hope you found that helpful. Practice it the next time you feel your anxiety getting higher or you feel a panic attack coming on. I hope you found that helpful.
