I suffer from attacks myself occasionally.. and it is scary I won’t lie. Attacks can be triggered from stress, anxiety, anger, paranoia etc. You can’t always tell when one is coming also, and when it comes it can be a bit of a shock. It took me a while to realise that I was actually suffering from them too, when I had my first few (they were spaced out by weeks/months at a time) I thought I hadn’t eaten enough or was about to faint with stress+pressure. But once I had realised my problem I began to research it, I wanted to understand what was really happening to me.. and why. It helped a great deal reading up on it actually, because I was more aware of my problem instead of being in the dark and when I was panicking, I at least knew what was going on.
When I panic, I am aware in the back of my mind that the thoughts in my head are all irrational and I’m just overreacting, but that still doesn’t stop me from thinking horrible thoughts at times (in my example – Is he cheating behind my back? Why don’t they like me? Why did she run away from me? I’m going to fail. I don’t do anything right). I read up on some things that would help, one being that when you feel yourself starting to panic or think irrational thoughts, keep telling yourself that everything is actually OK and you are just overreacting, it’s not the end of the world afterall. It’s helped me a few times. And sometimes when you cannot stop one from coming on, when you are mid-attack keep thinking that it’s not the end of the world and this feeling will end soon anyway. Don’t let it take over or ruin your life/lifestyle.
Anyway, there isn’t actually much you can do but to offer your support and that you’re there to help and listen to anything he needs to get off his chest. Simply talking about things and getting them out in the open helps a load… Also, research into panic attacks a bit yourself and tell him to also. To just understand the problem, in my eyes, is half the battle.
