ANXIETY VS PANIC ATTACKS

*ANXIETY VS PANIC ATTACKS*

Many people are living with this IN SILENCE 😞

The thing about mental illness is the FACT that it’s INVISIBLE…

Do you ever think that someone you know or even a stranger could actually be SUFFERING… ?

Suffering in absolute and complete SILENCE… 😔

I understand you…I HAVE BEEN THERE

…We as human beings at some point in our lives will experience a PANIC ATTACK

OR be living with Anxiety… generalized anxiety disorder is a REAL THING!!

Panic attacks and anxiety go hand in hand. When one has general anxiety it is easier to experience panic attacks. You can experience both at the same time.

Anxiety attacks and panic attacks differ for each person. Some people can experience these for a few minutes or hours on end… it is dreadful for the sufferer.

Now some of the differences, symptoms - and you will notice similarities.

...

ANXIETY :

👉Constant racing heart

👉Overthinking

👉Overanalyzing

👉Thinking about the past and/or future

👉Constant worrying

👉Constant stress

...

PANIC :

👉Hyperventilating

👉Asthma

👉Heart palpitations

👉Scream

👉Shout

👉Cry hysterically

FEAR IS ALSO HUGE WITH PANIC ATTACKS.

People do NOT understand UNLESS they have experienced it…

YES – YOU WILL GET JUDGMENT

YES – YOU WILL GET PEOPLE SAYING…

“it’s all in your mind”

“Just choose happiness"

“Calm down, you’re being pathetic”

And so on…

Mental health doesn’t get ENOUGH awareness...

We NEED TO RAISE AWARENESS…

These things can cause SO many issues within yourself...

The constant struggle is REAL!

Those struggling simply just need SUPPORT…GUIDANCE…LOVE… 🙏

They don’t need ‘pity’

They don’t need ‘lectures’

They don’t need ‘judgment’

WE ARE ALL HUMAN

THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN TO THE BEST OF US… ❤️

I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder when I was very very young, before high school even started.

Being a little girl so young, I know for a fact I'm not the only one!

I HAVE HAD SEVERE PANIC ATTACKS IN MY LIFE…

ITS NOT FUN!!!

I just want to let you know….

IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY

IT IS OKAY TO SEEK HELP

ITS OKAY TO HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS

YOU CAN & YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT! 🙏🏻🩷

RAISE your voice!!!

ASK for HELP because it IS OUT THERE!

Remember:

-YOU ARE LOVED

-YOU ARE WORTHY

-YOU ARE VALUABLE

-YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I’ve worked with many who have dealt with this…

Now they’re soaring,

but you know why???

👉🏼BECAUSE THEY USED THE TOOLS, STRATEGIES AND MODALITIES I HELPED THEM WITH.

👉🏼THEY TOOK ACTION AND ALLOWED ME, TO HELP THEM HELP THEMSELVES 🙏🏻🩷

So, DO NOT SUFFER IN SILENCE,

SEEK HELP,

TAKE ACTION & DO. THE. WORK.

So that YOU can be the BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF

TIPS:

• Remember that it is temporary - it is not permanent

• Remember to breathe deeply - inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth

• Try listening to music, or meditative music (your choice)

• Speak to a loved one/anyone whom you trust. Talking helps - talk therapy

• Grounding is important - essential oils or incense or candles that have a scent you love

• Going outside and focusing on all the nature you see and feel around you

• A lot of people love tapping - if this is your thing, do it more!

• Having a nice hot shower or bath is good to de-stress and washing away the stress

These are just a few things you can try!

See what works best for you!

Love & Light always,

Nikki xoxo
