HOW TO SURVIVE A PANIC ATTACK WHEN IT STRIKES

by Stan Popovich

A person can experience a panic attack when they least expect it. This can cause a great deal of fear and anxiety for the person. Many people do not know what they should do when dealing with a panic attack. As a result, here are eight easy steps a person can follow when a panic attack strikes unexpectedly.

1. Take a break: A panic attack can be very uncomfortable and can affect a person’s thinking. The best thing to do when this happens is to take a break in order to calm down. You don’t want to do anything when your not thinking clearly.

2. Take deep breaths: A person should take some deep breaths to help feel better and to get rid of some of the excessive fear and anxiety. There are many kinds of breathing exercises a person can learn to follow with the help of a mental health counselor. Taking some deep breaths can help a person relax right away.

3. Distract yourself: A person should try to distract themselves from the panic they are experiencing. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, take a brisk walk, read the newspaper, or do something relaxing that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

4. Visualize a red stop sign: A person should visualize a red stop sign in their mind when they encounter a fearful thought. When the negative thought comes, a person should think of a red stop sign that serves as a reminder to stop focusing on that thought and to think of something else. A person can then try to think of something positive to replace the negative thought.

5. Get the facts of your situation: Many people feel helpless when they experience a panic attack for the first time. The fact is that you will be ok and that it takes a few minutes for the anxiety to go away. Talk to a counselor and get the facts of what a panic attack is and what you can do when a panic attack occurs.

6. Don’t dwell on your thoughts: A person must not dwell or focus on their thoughts during a panic attack. The more a person tries to reason out their thoughts the longer a panic attack will last. Read some positive statements from your favorite self-help book to help overcome your negative thoughts during a panic attack.

7. Read some positive affirmations: Another technique that is very helpful is to have a small notebook of positive statements that makes you feel good. Whenever you come across an affirmation that makes you feel good, write it down in a small notebook that you can carry around with you in your pocket. Whenever you feel depressed, open up your small notebook and read those statements.

8. Get help: It is important to talk to a qualified professional in order to learn how to survive a panic attack. By talking to a professional, a person will be helping themselves in the long run because they will become better able to deal with any panic attacks that may occur in the future.

COMMUNITY, CONNECTION, CITIZENSHIP AND CIVILITY: CHALLENGING OURSELVES TO THRIVE

by Dr. Sharon M. Cadiz

Without a sense of community that embraces connection; citizenship and civility, we become dangerous to ourselves and others. We become unable, or unwilling to gather together in peaceful and constructive ways. Fear and hatred of “the other” becomes the way that we consider those around us. We start to look to war and conflict as a means of protection. A singular regard for self-preservation; conquest and advancement, fuel the only movement that seems possible among those who trade compassion for a passion to control or dominate. I have observed how the pandemic has set the stage for advancing our capacity to see the road ahead more clearly. It has provided us with a laser focus on what comes up for us when we freeze the action momentarily as we did when “sheltering in place” was the global prime directive. With community and connection taken away to a large extent; and the lines of citizenship taking on a more global aspect, we began to open our eyes to cross-cutting views of civility based on honoring the brave actions of those on the front lines while glimpsing different views of coping. We seemed to jettison ourselves toward a different kind of future than the one we were previously headed toward. In a way, the pandemic gave us a look at who we could become. Alas, as we stumbled out of the most challenging and uncertain times of the pandemic that continues to reinvent itself, we returned to familiar patterns that seemed to make us forget what we had learned while under the effects of a global crisis that threatened our very existence.

Well, I think it is time once again to rub our tired eyes and reawaken to the high stakes endeavor in which we are engaged. Let’s recall how it felt that the first time we were able to come together when there appeared to be a level of safety that would support group interaction. Did you hug someone who you could not hug for a seemingly long time? How did it feel when you remembered hearing your neighbors banging pots and pans at 7pm in the evening to acknowledge the courageous medical personnel who kept showing up for those in need? Were you amazed when you recalled the creativity of others as you sampled TikTok or other social media platforms that provided a means of connecting with others? What was the experience like when you saw your neighbors or walked down the street that first time? Remembering what we learned is the key to going forward in the direction of a hopeful future. Please take a moment to express your gratitude, or perhaps the understanding and insight that you gained from realizing the depth of our human connection and the sacredness and meaning embedded in each interaction before you walk out the door; stand on line for groceries; drive your car in heavy traffic; make a decision about the value of sanctuary for refugees and immigrants; think about lives that matter; the future of an unwanted child; income equality or consider your new neighbors who speak a different language, wear different clothes or worship in different ways. The St. Pat’s Parade for All; minus some of the long winded speeches and political grandstanding, is my touchstone for unity, peace and harmony because for every year that I have attended, it is a gathering of well-meaning souls who refrain from judging each other. It is a model of peaceful coexistence demonstrated by the ability to walk in straight lines down a community block as diverse as the United Nations with men in skirts or kilts; women with green hair; elders with banners and flags, and no one minds. It is about women and men together on the bandstand making music to harmonize history and the present jam of different sounds. It is children seeing us at our best as we welcome each other into our loving embrace and thumb our noses at the skeptics and false prophets who want to keep us separate. By all means, come together; bless your community with your positive, active presence; be a proud citizen and speak well of your neighbor because they are a reflection of you. Find your own models of those values and ideals that allow us to prevail as we face the challenges in this destined walk we are on to the future. Perhaps most importantly, let yourself become the example to our children who watch our every move and hear our every utterance. They are watching and they are learning to be the citizens of that future that we all have a part in crafting through our imagination, creativity and most of all our beliefs and actions.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the residents of the 59th Street fire in Woodside as well as our thanks and prayers to the amazing fire departments who responded.

Due to the rising crime in our community, starting next Wednesday at 6pm. We will be hosting a FREE community selfdefense class (Krav Maga) and every Wednesday after that. This is free to all our neighbors in our community.
