Don't ignore your anxiety attacks
Kathy Nelson
Just because the event you are attending isn't a huge one it doesn't mean that you won't feel anxious. The anxiety attack can often be brought on by someone at the event. The expression "love makes people do funny things" is very true and the focus of anxiety attacks are often love interests, either present or past ones.
Anxiety attacks always have a trigger event, the problem is that the trigger event may not be an obvious one. If a tiger comes up to you, then it is easy to work out what the trigger event was for your panic attack. Some people's triggers are not so obvious, they can be far more subtle and may even require a series of events to happen.
Your body is programmed to protect you, and for all of our years of education, rules and regulations when faced with situations that our mind considers to be dangerous it will try and force us to either stand and fight or run. This is called fight or flight and has managed to keep the human race alive for millions of years. The problem is that the high levels of chemicals released at this time can cause you to have an anxiety attack if you are unprepared for it.
Our body is a very complex mixture of muscle, fat and lots of other stuff that includes various chemicals. Some of the chemicals are designed to give us boosts of energy and make us more alert at times of fear or even stress. Some people don't handle these situations as well as others, so they experience a anxiety attack.
We are all different and we all deal with panic differently, most people will find that fear and panic breed anxiety. We are usually able to control our feelings of fear and panic, we try to get them under control before they take over our very being. If you are unable to control these feelings then you will often end up suffering from a anxiety attack.
