@Got_Anxiety Q8: feeling like you are about to lose control is very different from actually being out of control. Picture a person that you imagine is out of control. Is this bc of a feeling they are having or a behavior they are engaging in? This is just more panic spam mail. #GotPanic

@Got_Anxiety Q7: #cbt for panic disorder is treatment of choice. Key element of CBT for panic : interoceptive exposure (learning to play with vs run from anxiety sensations). Panic disorder is highly treatable so do not lose hope!! #GotPanic

@Got_Anxiety A6: put another way, #panic symptoms are a sign that our bodies are doing what they should if we are actually in danger, in the case of the #fear response. Hence “false alarm” of #panic. The difference? With #fear we are paying attention to the threat not our bodies. #GotPanic

@Got_Anxiety Q6: #panic is a “FALSE alarm” that involves uncomfortable but harmless bodily sensations that can be induced by numerous activities, many of which we enjoy (e.g., espresso!) Avoidance increases #anxiety about #panic & remaining in a situation leads to victory. #GotPanic #CBTWorks

@Got_Anxiety Q5: When having a panic attack a common fear is that one will pass out but actually the opposite is true. A panic attack is associated with increase in blood pressure, passing out is associated with drop in blood pressure. 1 exception is blood harm phobia. #gotpanic

@Got_Anxiety Q5: A panic attack is the body in fight/flight mode minus a real threat. When the body is in survival mode it takes in extra oxygen in order to fuel up. Given there is no “REAL DANGER” this extra oxygen does not get used and can lead to feeling light headed. #GotPanic

@Got_Anxiety A5: The core of your body is the most important part in the face of danger. When experiencing #fear or #panic, adrenaline floods the body into “action” for which blood & oxygen flow to the core, away from other parts, given sensations of “lightheadedness.” You’re good! #GotPanic

@harobed44 @Got_Anxiety @drkchap The good news is that there is no “edge”. Anxiety tends to send out “Fake news” about how you might “lose it” or become permanently damaged but all of life is impermanent. Anxiety is just a temporary state. #gotpanic

@Got_Anxiety A4: In the midst of #CBTWorks the answer is no. Symptom induction is a critically important treatment #CBTWorks component and getting used to the physiological arousal associated with #panic is a key in enhancing #exposure therapy. #GotPanic

@Got_Anxiety A4: no people experiencing panic disorder should NOT avoid caffeine or exercise or anything else. You need to teach your brain you are strong and can handle an array of sensations. #GotPanic
