panic attacks at the gym
My panic attacks happen mostly when iam at the gym working out ' they get so bad i freeze cant move , i love going but i find myself not going because of it .when iam there i try to work threw it sometimes i have to stop and call a friend just to calm myself down does not always work , how do i get myself past that so i can get back to the gym ?
Sometimes the best thing you can do is take a step away and try to be present in your body and take in your surroundings rather than letting yourself feel trapped in your mind. Take some deep breaths and when you're ready try taking notice of what's happening around you, and then try to see what about it is making you anxious. As uncomfortable as it is, sometimes the best thing you cando is tackle what you think you're worried of and then next time it doesn't seem so bad.
Great tips
Well when you work out it increases your heart rate and if you are feeling insecure or anxious anyway about being in the gym (many people feel this way which is why they avoid the gym) it may be adding to it. If you heart rate goes up make sure you are not thinking that is the beginning of a panic attack b/c your just workingout :)
