PANIC ATTACKS: INSIDE THE BRAIN These panic attacks are believed to occur when the brain's normal mechanism for reacting to a threat - the so called fight or flight response - becomes faulty. Most people with panic disorder also feel anxious about the possibility of having other panic attacks and avoid situations in which they believe these attacks are likely to occur. Anxiety about another attack, and the avoidance it causes, makes the condition that much worse. P A N I E K A A N V A L L E D U U R T U S S E N 4 T O T 6 M I N U T E.

SNELLERS VIR N PANIEKAANVAL buitengewone spanning bv. werksdruk, verlies van 'n familielid of goeie vriend na chirurgie, 'n ernstige ongeluk, siekte of geboorte sekere dwelmmiddels/stimulante DIE ONVOORSPELBAARHEID VAN PANIEKAANVALLE IS EEN VAN DIE REDES WAAROM HULLE SO TRAUMATIES IS. Even though people who have panic attacks may not show outward signs of discomfort, the feelings they experience are so overwhelming and terrifying that they really believe that they are going to die, lose their minds or be totally humiliated. WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN? DO NOT ADD TO YOUR PANIC BY THINKING ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF ASKING, WHAT IF? TELL YOURSELF, SO WHAT!
Notice what is really happening to you as opposed to what you think might happen. Label your fear level from zero to ten and watch it fluctuate. Notice that it does not stay at a very high level for more than a few seconds. When you find yourself thinking about the fear, change your what if' R E M A I N F O C U S E D O N T H E P R E S E N T thinking. Focus on and carry out a simple and manageable task such as counting backwards from 100 in 3's or snapping a rubber band on your wrist. Notice that when you stop adding frightening thoughts to your fear, it begins to fade. When the fear comes, expect and accept it. Wait and give it time to pass without running away from it.
W E NKE OM SIMPTOME VAN ANGS BETER TE HANTEER Haal diep asem. Doen kardiovaskulêre oefening. Slaap genoeg. Steun op vriende. Doen iets wat jy geniet dit trek jou aandag af. Neem n blaaskans (5 minute) van die stresvolle aktiwiteit. Maak n lys van die stressors en skryf langsaan 1 of 2 oplossings daarvoor. Gaan vir terapie wanneer dit te moeilik is om die angs self te hanteer.

Ek is trots op jou. Wat het jy nou nodig? Haal diep en rustig asem. Fokus op dit wat nou gebeur. Dis nie die plek wat jou angstig maak nie, maar die gedagte in jou kop. Ek verstaan dat dit wat jy nou moet hanteer moeilik is, maar dis nie gevaarlik nie. Jy is baie dapper. Ontspan. Kalmeer. Moenie so angstig wees nie. Jy kan dit hanteer. Wat moet ons volgende doen? Moenie belaglik wees nie. Jy kan nie altyd van alles nie. Moenie n lafaard wees nie.
WHAT TO DO IF A FAMILY MEMBER HAS AN ANXIETY DISORDER Be predictable; do not surprise them. Let the person with the disorder set the pace for recovery. Find something positive in every experience. If the affected person is only able to go partway to a particular goal, such as a movie theatre or party, consider that an achievement rather than a failure. Do not enable avoidance: negotiate with the person with panic disorder to take one step forward when he or she wants to avoid something. Do not sacrifice your own life and build resentments. Remember that it is all right to be anxious yourself; it is natural for you to be concerned and even worried about the person with panic disorder. Be patient and accepting, but do not settle for the affected person being permanently disabled. You can downgrade the friendship by being less available and spending less time with the person. This can be difficult if the decision is one-sided, but it's important not to hurt or blame the other person. You have to think about how it will affect other mutual friendships. When you dump someone, there's no going back.
3 opvoerings van #puppet by tienerkamp in Bredasdorp Om en by 500 tieners het die opvoerings bygewoon. Dit is meer as kommerwekkend met hoeveel uitdagings hulle sit en met o.a. selfbesering en selfdoodplanne die seer probeer aanspreek. Hulle gebruik reeds antidepressante en kry sielkundige behandeling terwyl hulle eintlik 'n sorgvrye tienerlewe moet geniet. Uit die gesprekke na die tyd, blyk dit dat daar (baie) ouers is wat geen benul van depressie het nie. Dit is ons almal se verantwoordelikheid om openlik oor die siekte te praat, want almal word direk of indirek deur die siekte geraak. Speak up!
