Anxiety Attack Symptoms: What You Should Know To Overcome Anxiety Disorder

by Cure Anxiety
Filed under: Symptoms Of Panic Attacks 

Learning about anxiety attack symptoms is an important step in the recovery process if you suffer from an anxiety disorder. Anyone who suffers from such a disorder is certainly well versed in the types of symptoms that frequently accompany anxiety attacks; however, in order to learn to cope with and even overcome these symptoms it is imperative that one must first learn why these symptoms occur in connection with anxiety disorders.

The most common symptom of any anxiety disorder is fear itself. This fear often occurs as a result of a perceived threat. In many cases this fear may only result from a threat that is perceived only and not a real threat. This; however, has no effect on the results of the anxiety attack. When the human brains senses fear, whether it is real or perceived only, it responds with certain biological responses. These responses prepare the body to either stay and fight the threat or flee from it. This is commonly known as the fight or flight response.

Some of the most common symptoms that can be associated with an anxiety attack as a result of this perception of threat include the following:

    3. I live in NJ so I really wouldn’t be of any help, sorry. But I think you should try coming out of your shell and talk to some people. I know that this is probably really hard, but my cousin was very shy, intimidated by me, and really quiet. Then she started to talk to mee, and I helped her in a way and told her that she should start talking more, and be more outgoing. And know she is more confident and a lot of people like her. Trust me. Go to the mosque one day, and talk to a couple of people don’t be afraid. What’s the worse thing that’ll happen. They won’t like you, you’ll get over it. Muslims aren’t supposed to judge others, so I think you’ll be okay if you just go and mingle.

    4. you have a facebook?

    get yourself a facebook and see if you can do a search for muslims in that area
    then send a non-creepy message explaining that you are a new muslim and was wondering if they would know when the best time to visit the local mosque would be…or if they can get you the number to the imam so that you may speak w/him

    :)

    Good Luck Insha’allah

    Allah(swt) knows best

    5. I am a sister and i know how you feel. i hope i can help in whatever way i can .
    isn’t this agoraphobia.
    well, first of all u have to know that generally to get through the barrier that people have with strangers takes time. to them u r a stranger and the Arabs in general don’t socialize quickly with people of different ethnic backgrounds. maybe this is due to the fact that they lived a secluded life in the Arab peninsula in clans and tribes.
    for example i know that Americans go and introduce themselves by saying "hello, i am Mr……" u would rarely find an Arab doing that . they wait to be introduced by someone. it is just a culture thing.
    maybe cuz they are a minority they feel’ safe’ to stick around one another.
    about the outreach program, psychology as a medical branch is a new science in the Arab world (don’t 4get we are 3rd world countries) and not well appreciated or understood so dont expect much from them in this point.
    about the mosque, maybe there are regulations about opening hours.
    when u enter a mosque ,u pray 2 ‘raka’ as a greeting to the mosque since it is Gods house and then wait for the calling of the prayer u went to the mosque for. if there is no prayer at that time u can sit and read Koran or pray (i mean talking to God ,asking him whatever u want,glorifying him etc.)
    Friday prayer is a different. u go to hear a lesson or speech then pray the Friday prayer with the others.
    . don’t give up be patient and be proactive . try to get into charity organizations in the mosque if there are any, go to Koran classes. u might find another brother taking his first steps in the ‘new world’

    6. Does anyone understand the disorder and how it is overcome?
    I keep explaining and the answers keep demonstrating a lack of understanding.

    I have been studying Islam for a year now and would like to go to my local mosque, but I have a social phobia disorder. This is an anxiety disorder that has developed due to a string of incidents of trauma and victimization. Truth is, I have never liked crowds, but the social phobia disorder makes it impossible for me to go someplace where I do not know people without severe discomfort in the form of extreme nervousness and physical pain. It can be hard to breathe as well. I am at risk of a brain chemistry spike that will upset my equilibrium and cause me to stumble (which means I could fall, I could fall into other people, I could fall into objects and knock them over, maybe breaking some of them), I could have a panic attack that mimics heart attack or other severe symptoms, I could even faint.

    Being a new Muslim, I do not yet know the ways of the mosque, the procedures to follow and where things are, and I am afraid of being judged for being different because this has been my experience in other places. Also, I have sent several requests to the mosque through its website explaining I have this disorder and asking for outreach from the mosque, but there is no answer which further makes me fear that I will be rejected, that it is a closed and hostile community not interested in welcoming new members or at least not any with disabilities. I have explained the disability several times, but still no answer.

    I do not know why the mosque will not answer, I do not understand this at all. I am greatly perplexed by it. I would really like to go to the mosque though and so I am in agony right now trying to cope with my disorder because if I think about going there without knowing anyone, without anyone to show me around or introduce me to other people, the anxiety and its symptoms hit me.

    Does anyone in this forum know any Muslims in Spokane, Washington USA? I am looking for someone to help me, just one Muslim brother who will do outreach with me and take me to the mosque and teach me the rules and procedures there and show me where things are and introduce me to others. I don’t know what else to do.

    I can’t go to the mosque to meet any brothers there because of the disorder. I need someone to do outreach. There is a place on the website to request outreach and another to "contact us," I have sent requests through both. I have sent several messages to the mosque with my email and telephone number over the course of several days, over a week now and there is no answer. Once I went to the old mosque, the doors were locked, but I heard someone inside, so I knocked and waited and knocked and waited and after 15 minutes of being ignored and shunned, I gave up.

    It is the only mosque near me.

    I do pray at home, that is not the issue. I want to go to the mosque but I need help from another Muslim because I have a disability. I am working to overcome it, that is why I want to go to the mosque, but you don’t overcome it by pretending it doesn’t exist and setting yourself up for failure. Muslims are supposed to help one another, but the mosque does not seem interested to help a Muslim with disabilities or it does not want new members? I am perplexed at the time I knocked and the person inside did not open the door to greet me and my daughter. I am perplexed why the mosque has not answered my request for assistance, and that would be assistance in helping me overcome the disorder. You don’t toss a person who does not know how to swim into a swimming pool and command, "swim" and expect them to be able to swim do you? Assitance is needed to overcome the disorder. Muslims are supposed to help one another and answer each others’ calls for help.

    Does anyone know any Muslims in Spokane, Washington USA that you can have contact me? I need one brother to help me.

    The doctor does not tell me to try to stay home and not overcome the disorder, the doctor suggests I try to go to the mosque and the doctor does not understand either why there is no reply from the mosque. The doctor does not understand why the Muslims there would not want to help another Muslim with this disorder ease into the mosque so the person can become comfortable and help the person overcome the disorder. I don’t understand either.

    Does anyone know any Muslims in Spokane, Washington USA that you can have contact me? I need one brother to help me.
