Anxiety and panic using techniques to help stop them

well, knowing what your supposed to do to control and alleviate anxiety and panic and actually doing those things while your are in a the midst freaking out can be poles apart. When you mind is convincing you are losing control or out of control and it is backed up with the nasty physical feelings you have. At those times it is very difficult to be reasonable. I hope in time i will be able to let go, let those anxiety feelings and physical sensations float on by, not focusing on them, seeing them for what they really are, just a learned behavior, a habit i need to break by learning new habits, by not giving the thoughts and feelings permission to take over, not by fighting them but by not paying them any attention, by just letting them go. then, in time the ancient. primitive limbic system in my brain will learn that there is nothing to 'fight or flee' from that releasing all these chemicals into my body is not of any use, that it can relax, that i can relax. that I am OK and you are OK
