Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask them directly. Check your responsibility. Respond with humor. Resist the urge to bully back. Notify an authority figure. Make a bold move.

Answer: You have the right to advocate for yourself and to be clear about what you consider to be an acceptable way to speak to you. If you can, try this while the person is alone. If they are around their friends or in a group, they are going to be more likely to continue to lash out at you because they think they have to in front of their friends. They may be more likely to be straight with you if they are alone. Try to use a mild tone when asking these questions. "Why do you keep attacking me?" "Are you okay? You've been lashing out at people lately, and usually, people only do that when there is something they are upset about." "Why are you trying to hurt people? Does it make you feel better about yourself?" "What are you getting out of this?" Almost all the time people get bullied for reasons that are completely not their fault. If it is a friend or former friend though, you may want to check and make sure you didn't do anything to draw out their attitude towards you. Ask genuinely and gently. "Did I do something to you? Is that why you are acting like this towards me?" "What have I done to you to deserve you saying that?" If they respond with something you did to hurt them, apologize. Respond with something humorous, whether it is sarcastic over-exaggeration or straight humor, it will show them that you do not take them seriously and that you are strong enough to laugh at yourself. They'll also likely be really surprised and not getting the reaction they want, they might move on. "Apparently you are very concerned with my style and appearance. I had no idea you cared so much!" Laugh and say "You know, I gotta give it to you, that was a good one." Smile and say "I think you can do better than that, what else have you got?" Don't join in on the jokes and don't make fun of yourself just to please the bully. But do take the power away from them by showing that they are not getting to you. You don't want become a bully. The urge to snap back or insult them too is probably going to be high. Remind yourself that you don't want to be like that person, and responding with an insult towards them would make you just like them. Talk to someone you trust anytime you are bullied.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Realize that trying to avoid the attack is part of the problem. Understand that the panic attack will pass and it will not kill you. Face your fears. Accept emotions in general. Focus on what you can control.

Answer:
Panic attacks are the result of your body responding to a perceived trauma or threat. However, a pattern of panic attacks occurs due to the individual's anxiety related to the actual panic attack and his fear that the attack will be painful or harmful. This fear leads to increased anxiety, which can trigger another panic attack. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment for panic attacks, focuses on changing thoughts in order to alter your feelings (both physiological and psychological) and actions. Ironically, the fear of having a panic attack can lead to more panic attacks. Your fear of having a panic attack is directly related to your thoughts about having an attack. If you change your thoughts to more realistic evaluations, then you can prevent or lessen future attacks by reducing your anxiety and fear. It is important to de-catastrophize the effects of a panic attack. Instead of thinking, "I'm having a heart attack, or I feel like I'm going to die," change this thought to, "I am okay, I'm just having a panic attack, and it will pass." Use a panic attack thought record sheet in order to track your thoughts and actively change them in order to reduce future panic. Go to www.getselfhelp.co.uk/docs/PanicThoughtRecord.pdf. Allowing fears (especially worries about having a panic attack) to build up can increase the severity and frequency of panic attacks. Thus, reducing your fears by facing them head-on could alleviate panic because instead of avoiding the issue you are dealing with it appropriately. This helps to alleviate some of the anxiety that usually builds up and causes an attack. Instead of suppressing your fears or hoping they will go away, deal with them in a straight-forward manner. Label your fear. As you feel fear coming on assign a number to it from 1 to 10. Your fear likely won't stay at a high number for long, so as the number decreases you can feel more relieved. When you fear failure, try new things you've been afraid to do in the past. If you fear social situations, meet new people and accept invitations to parties and gatherings you may have declined in the past. Individuals who experience panic attacks may avoid emotions more often and not accept their feelings as often as those who do not experience panic attacks. Learning to accept your emotions instead of avoiding them could help to decrease the incidence of panic attacks because the more acceptance you have the less fear you might have about getting a panic attack. Since more fear and worry is associated with more panic attacks, less fear (and more acceptance) may help to reduce panic. When you feel a negative emotion - say to yourself, "This emotion is natural, and it gives me important information about how I am doing. It is okay to feel this emotion and I can get through it." Attempt to be in tune with your emotions (anxiety, panic) instead of avoiding them. Sit with the emotion and experience how it feels in your body and what thoughts you are thinking when you have that emotion. Sometimes we may worry about things we cannot control such as what others say or do, and what might happen in the future. However, thinking about what we cannot control is futile. Worrying about what you cannot control can increase anxiety, so avoiding this can help to decrease the fear and worry that may produce an attack. Observe your surroundings and situation and examine what is actually happening as opposed to what might happen or what you fear might happen. For example: Accept constructive criticism and praise for a job well done rather than worrying about how you could have performed better. Prepare for things that may be out of your control, whether it's a possible illness or a potential disaster. Build positive relationships with others. Let go of what others may think of you and embrace those who spend time with you.
