Anxiety attacks have many possible cures, but only one cause. This cause is serious stress. Your mind triggers a fight or flight response in your body with nothing to fight and nowhere to really run. That unnecessary energy will become harmful. As you read, you'll find out how you may regain control of your life and deal with your anxiety attacks.
Realize that you cause the attacks, not the outside world. Although the symptoms make you sort of self destruct and feel helpless, these are all mental reactions to thoughts you have. Everyone has the power to guide their thoughts. Those who don't recognize this tend to be much less happy with their lives. Your thoughts create your world.
Next you should work on creating a better foundation to control your thoughts. To do this, reduce physical stress. Physical tension can be the result of mental unrest. Similarly, if you tense your body in that manner when you aren't stressed you can become stressed. Use this connection to your advantage by learning to relax your body.
Massages, exercise, and sleep all help you to relax physically. Although in the initial stages, an exercise program may seem stressful, exercise reduces tension and releases endorphins to help you feel better. Lack of sleep makes it infinitely harder to think clearly and constructively, which are necessary abilities to make changes in your life.
Mental techniques can be applied more effectively after the foundation is laid. Stress is built by a focus on the negative. Often this means thinking about what could go wrong. By starting to make a bigger focus on positive outcomes and expectations you can begin to edge out much of the stress in your life.
A mind not guided by the individual is guided by its environment. More often than not, your environment will be predominately negative unless you've strategically surrounded yourself with only positive people. I doubt you've done this if you are experiencing this level of stress. Remove negative influences in your life whenever you can. Talk to people who have overcome anxiety attacks. Listen to their stories to reinforce in your mind that it can be done.
Most have very little experience directing their thinking independent of their environment. Meditation works wonders for this. As long as you have a calm inner world, the outer world will reflect that. There are many types of meditation you can try. A good place to start is by trying to completely clear your mind. During anxiety attacks, your mind is in overdrive and constantly adds more negative stressful thoughts to the mix. Practice simply observing your thoughts, not engaging them. Anxiety attacks can then be starved of the fuel they need to continue when you apply this.
