One thing that anxiety attacks, depression, and panic disorders have in common is that they all have triggers that the sufferer may not be aware of. This can be very confusing to a lot of people and may lead them to feel more helpless than they need to.
Your nervous system is very good at subconsciously remembering what else was happening or present when a traumatic event occurred. This is a safety mechanism, and while it can do a lot of good, it can also inadvertently do a lot of bad. If, for instance, you were attacked by a large black dog wearing a red collar when you were young, your nervous system will remember the details at the subconscious level. Years later you could be folding laundry while the TV is on and see a commercial with a small white dog wearing a red collar on. Your subconscious mind may react with massive stress and send you into a panic attack even though, consciously, you aren’t afraid of white dogs. The red collar could be enough of a stimulus to trigger an anxiety attack or send you in to panic.
The good news is that by becoming more conscious of your triggers, you can learn which things are the cause of anxiety for you. There is no greater anxiety attack help than your own willingness to face your fears and see which neurological associations you should focus on breaking.

Understanding your panic attack triggers can be the first step in helping you avoid more attacks. Most anxiety attacks occur during the middle of the day. Why do you think that is? If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense that the most active part of people’s day is also the most stressful.
Along with lifestyle factors such as not getting enough solid rest and maybe not eating well enough to help combat the physical symptoms of stress, we also tend to do things that directly contribute to our stress levels. I love to drink coffee all day every day, but I’m well aware that it plays a major part in how calm I am. Coffee leaves me jittery, high strung, mentally scattered, and give me a huge crash when I come down from it. Not surprisingly, the days that I cut down on or altogether avoid coffee are the one that things leave me much more capable to deal with anything that could trigger an anxiety attack or delve in to depression.
I’m not necessarily saying that coffee itself is responsible for any panic attacks I may have, I just want to make the point that knowing what factors contribute to my stressful states truly help me avoid more attacks.
Another stressor in my life is daily traffic. If I have a list of things to do and I could cut down my list by quickly and easily doing some online bill paying instead of fighting traffic I know that I’ve cut down on two important triggers for myself – traffic and paying bills.
Become aware of how you can cut reduce the daily stress that you directly contribute to. Often what triggers panic attacks is not something we are conscious of, but we don’t have to play a larger part of our own stress than is truly necessary.
