I do.I keep reminding myself that what i'm feeling are symptoms.I try to put a prespective on it and go about my day.It seemsto help some.Still is not easy i hear you.

Breathe....breathe deep....A LOT.

Practice relaxing your body. One way to do this is to start at your toes, contracting and then releasing the muscles, work your way slowly up your body. Breathe normally as you do this. Close your eyes if you can and when you release the muscle, try to let it relax completely and deeply. This practice signals your body to move into rest and digest mode, which turns back on all of bodily functions, slows your heart rate back to normal, stops hyperventilation, etc.

If you find relaxation techniques are not stopping the bodily reaction, see your doctor. You may need some temporary help with medication to help retrain your body to react normally in normal situations. Prolonged stress hormones roaming around in our bodies can ultimately cause a host of health issues. It's best to do whatever you can to lower the amount of these hormones and such in your system.

What JillieBean said. I had an encounter this weekend that triggered me and on my 3 hour drive back home I did deep breathing (esp exhaling) centering and that prevented me from having a panic attack. Takes practice. I started with a lot of EFT, and the breathing for me is the next step towards being able to deal with triggers without anyone being able to tell I am on the verge of a panic attack.

I have also found that listening to the Enigma Channel on panroda.com helps me to calm myself down when I am triggered.

I do try breathing and it helps a little but when this hits me there is no stoping it. Maybe i am not doing it right, I will keep trying . Like I have said everyday is different for me. I have days that i am so mad that i am scared I will harm someone. So i stay in the house all the time that way i know i will not go over the edge and harm someone. It is a fight everyday for me. Thanks for the advice i will keep trying. I just wish I could go back to being who I was.

When none of the good ideas listed here are effective, I deliberately and carefully feed the beast enough to calm it. Extreme physical exercise will calm the fight instinct. A punching bag. Kick boxing. Howling at the desert moon. Letting myself go somewhere will calm the flight instincts. Running. Hiking. Bus bumming. Driving.

Once I have quieted the deafening roar of the beast, I turn my attention to finding and addressing the source. After considerable work, I am finally recognising the sources (triggers) well enough that I am able to catch it before it is destructively out of control.

Thank you very much for the ideas. I am willing to try anything.

Was just thinking more on this after reading some of the other replies.

I walk, or rather, pace back and forth. Sometimes I furiously clean my house....I have children, so there's always something to clean up and it burns off the adrenaline.

If I get angry, well, right now I am dealing with child abuse issues, so I keep taking a piece of the china my mother and father got when they married (which turned into everyday dishes many many moons ago) and I take one out to the garage, put it in a garbage bag, and then hammer the hell out of it. There's something rather soothing about pulverizing the very dishes I never quite managed to wash perfectly as a child.

LOL...Now that is souning real good.
