In my next couple of postings I'll explain why you really should be afraid of suffering from anxiety panic attack symptoms. Be sure to keep an eye open for my next post coming soon.
If you're fresh off your first attack, then the first thing you need to know is that you're not crazy. Chances are that a lot more people than you think have gone through anxiety panic attack symptoms at least once in their lives. The second thing you need to know is that you're not going to die from having another attack, in spite of what your first one may have led you to believe.
The trauma is so terrible after the first attack many sufferers are totally terrified at the thought of another attack. The attacks certainly leave their mark on the individuals and first-time sufferers are often left totally traumatised.
More than the panic attacks themselves, it's this fear that can cripple victims, preventing them from enjoying life to the fullest and sometimes causing them to shut themselves away from the world, not to live at all. These victims are so affected by the trauma of their first attack that they fail to realize there is nothing to be afraid of.
What allows everyone to survive is our innate security system that alerts us to the perils around us and our response to this alarm is to either fight it or flee from it.
Panic attacks are a result of that system going haywire, pushing us to respond to a false alarm. Our panic stems in part from a lack of understanding of what we're supposed to be afraid of, and how we're supposed to react to it. Because we don't know whether to fight or flee we feel vulnerable to our fear, completely oblivious to the fact that there is no real threat.
