Cope During a Panic Attack

Saturday, September 27, 2008

A panic attack, otherwise known as an anxiety attack, can feel overwhelming when it happens. Often there is uncontrolled fast gasping for breath or panting. It doesn't have to get completely out of your control -- try these suggestions to ease your feelings caused by worries or fears. Sometimes the panic victim will think that it's a heart attack because of feeling faint, weak and shaky! Learn to slow down the panic by preparing ahead of time...

Focus on your breath to control panting... Now make sure that you are breathing slowly and abdominally. That is, your abdomen should expand and contract while breathing, not just your chest.
As a panic attack often fuels itself by unintentionally focusing on the cause of panic, it can help to divert your attention by focusing on something else, such as doing mental puzzles: word games, numerical problems or noting the features of different objects within sight. Try counting backwards from 100 by 3's, or saying the alphabet backwards, etc. It's even better if you can fully avoid focusing, do not focus on not focusing. (practising meditation helps learning how to do this).
If possible have someone you know/trust talk to you and comfort you. Ask him/her to massage your palm while talking to you.
Tense the various muscles in your body for a few seconds and then release, allowing yourself to relax.
If you are able to stand, get up and walk around slowly, while "slowly" deep breathing (change of focus).

Breathing 8 or fewer times per minute is less likely to trigger the "fight or flight" response, which is the source of adrenaline during a panic attack. Breathe in slowly for 4-5 seconds and exhale slowly for 4-5 seconds as best you can.
If you are hyperventilating, use a paper bag or envelope, to breathe into. Within a few breaths, the CO2 levels are restored and the breathing restores to a slower pace. If you don’t have a paper bag, HOLD your breath for short times. Note, in this case, do not take very deep breath, but hold your breath. Again, this can restore CO2 levels and the attack immediately subsides.
Listen to music. Keep headphones on, when you go out, or are in any situation which is likely to trigger an event.
Anxiety/panic attack may have no link to a real immediate threat, most of the time it fuels itself, as if your mind was running in circles. One way to break the circle is to ask yourself (or the person suffering from the anxiety attack), "How is panicking gonna help you?" Wait for a response like: "It's not!" So now let's try (tensing/relaxing, talk, massage hand (change of focus), paper bag, holding breath) this.
Breathe in for 2 seconds, and out for 4.

These suggestions are intended for your general knowledge only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment for any condition.
You should not use this information to diagnose or treat a health problem or disease without consulting with a qualified healthcare provider.
Please consult your healthcare provider with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your condition.
When a panic attack strikes, it may be hard to think about what to do as panic pretty much disables your mind's ability to think.
If you are subject to panic/anxiety attack, prepare yourself. Practicing meditation on a regular basis will help to keep or regain a grip on your own mind.

Maintain a Good Weblog

Friday, September 26, 2008

Many people want a way to express themselves on the internet. While some people are concerned about "Public" things like Myspace, a blog is a great way to express, communicate, and idealize your privacy. (This article is for people who have a semi-advanced knowledge of computers/the internet.)


Consider using one of the many free blog hosting services such as livejournal.com, deadjournal.com, or xanga.com.
Install a blog on a web server if you are more technically-savvy. This is a little bit more difficult than the "Remotely Hosted" Option, but gives you much more functionality. If you want to do this, follow these steps:
Find a weblog software that works for you. Find one that meets your requirements: Do you have PHP? Perl? Mysql? PostgreSQL? None of these? If you answered "None of these", You might wanna turn around.
Make sure you have the space. Is your web-server limiting bandwidth or space? Are you running a home server that doesn't have restrictions? Is there a database size restriction? If so, you might wanna think again about hosting your own.
Consider starting with a Perl-based weblog system. They generally do not require anything other that a writable folder, let alone an SQL database.

Once you have some experience, you might be able to step up to advanced PHP/SQL based blogging system such as Wordpress or PHPBBlog (A phpbb extension)
If you have limited resources (SQL servers, Bandwidth, Space, ect) You might want to stick with the "Remotely Hosted" options.

If you're running a home server, and you are not sure about what you are doing, you may be open to hacking attempts. For example, if you keep all of your website's files on the root of your C drive anyone has access to your whole computer.
Watch out for spammers. Some blog systems are vulnerable to certain spam bots which can post advertisements within your comment box. Try to add a verification image to the comment box so as to reduce the amount of spam.

Take Lecture Notes

Thursday, September 25, 2008

Taking great notes is becoming a lost art. Here's how to get the most out of a lecture, and have amazing notes to show for it.

Before the Lecture Begins

Prepare for the lecture so that you will be more likely to predict the organization of the lecture. Check the course outline to see if the lecturer has listed the topic or key ideas in the upcoming lecture. If so, convert this information into questions to be answered in
Sit as near to the front of the room as possible to eliminate distractions. And don't forget to turn off your cell-phone.
Have a proper attitude. Listening well is a matter of paying close attention. Be prepared to be open-minded about what the lecturer may be saying, even though you may disagree with it.

During the Lecture

Keep extra pencils sharpened and ready, or extra lead for mechanical pencils in case a pencil breaks during the lecture.
Write down the title of the lecture, the name of the course and the date.
Listen carefully to the introduction (if there is one). By knowing this outline, you will be better prepared to anticipate what notes you will need to take. Decipher this outline by listening for:

A topic for each section.
Supporting points or examples for the topic.

Copy what's written on the whiteboard and transparencies, especially the outline. To make sure that you get everything, get in the habit of skipping words like "the" and "a" and make use of shorthand and abbreviations. Summarize your notes in your own words, not the instructor's. Remember: your goal is to understand what the professor is saying, not to try to record exactly everything he or she says.
Recognize main ideas by signal words that indicate something important is to follow. See the tip on signals below.
Jot down details or examples that support the main ideas. Take down examples and sketches which the lecturer presents. Indicate examples with "e.g." Give special attention to details not covered in the textbook.
If there is a summary at the end of the lecture, pay close attention to it. You can use it to check the organization of your notes. If your notes seem disorganized, copy down the main points that are covered in the summary. It will help in revising your notes later.
At the end of the lecture, ask questions about points that you did not understand.

After the Lecture

Revise your notes as quickly as possible, preferably immediately after the lecture, since at that time you will still remember a good deal of the lecture. Also it is a good idea to reread your notes within 24 hours of the lecture.
During the first review period after the lecture, coordinate reading and lecture notes.
Review your lecture notes at least once a week. Also, review the lecture notes before the next lecture.
Remember that taking notes is not the primary reason for attending a lecture, trying to make your notes too perfect is a pitfall.
Collect notes for each course in one place, in a separate notebook or section of a notebook.
Write notes on one side of the paper only. Use a pen -- pencil will smear eventually, which is bad if the final test is cumulative or if you want to save your notes.
Use a loose-leaf notebook rather than a notebook with a permanent binding. See the pattern of a lecture by spreading out the pages.
Use two pieces of paper, one as a draft, and one as your final notes or use the Cornell Notetaking Method to organize the revision and review of your notes.
Enter your notes legibly because it saves time. Make them clear.
Box assignments and suggested books so you can identify them quickly.
Mark ideas which the lecture emphasizes with an arrow or some special symbol.
When the teacher looks at his/her notes, pay attention to what they say next.
Trade your "draft" notes with a classmate after each lecture. A scanner and email works great for passing these notes.
Incorporate different colors of ink, diagrams, drawings of your own. Make your notes your notes. Take advantage of how you learn (visually, orally, or actively) and write/draw your notes according to that style.
Watch for signal words. Your instructor is not going to send up a rocket when He/she states an important new idea or gives an example, but she will use signals to telegraph what she is doing. Every good speaker does it, and you should expect to receive these signals. For example, she may introduce an example with "for example" as done here. Other common signals:

o "There are three reasons why...." (Here they come!)
o "First...Second... Third...." (There they are!)
o "And most important,...." (A main idea!)
o "A major development...." (A main idea again!)
He/She may signal support material with:

o "On the other hand...."
o "On the contrary...."
o "For example...."
o "Similarly...."
o "In contrast...."
o "Also...."
o "Further...."
o "Furthermore...."
o "As an example...."
o "For instance...."
He may signal conclusion or summary with:

o "Therefore...."
o "In conclusion...."
o "As a result...."
o "Finally...."
o "In summary...."
o "From this we see...."
He/She may signal very loudly with:

o "Now this is important...."
o "Remember that...."
o "The important idea is that...."
o "The basic concept here is...."
Consider splitting the page into two columns -- keep lecture notes on one side, and write questions that come up during the lecture on the other side. This will ensure that you don't forget any unclear points or questions that come up during the lecture, and will enable you to associate the answer with the relevant material when you find it later. Also, if you go to office hours, your professor will notice that you were paying attention in class, which will pay off in the long run.
Consider buying a cheap tape recorder. Take in consideration the recording range of the hardware (on the package), the length of tape and the lecture, how big the lecture hall is, and how far away you will be from the lecturer.

Remember to ask permission before taping your professor (or anyone!) Most teachers are delighted to have a student who takes that much interest in their subject. But, they still may say no (possibly because they don't want to get sued), and that you have to accept that.

Most newer micro recorders will record to internal memory in a PC-friendly audio format (like MP3, WMA, etc). You can be the class hero by transferring these to your PC and then uploading them to your personal web page or MySpace page. Use a descriptive title when naming the files to stay organized (include date of class, professor and class subject code).
If you have an MP3 player, see if it has a built-in microphone and recording capabilities. Most iPods don't, but many other brands do (e.g. Creative Zen Micro). Like a digital micro recorder, you can transfer files easily to your computer or a web page.
If feasible, consider using a laptop computer (even an old one) and a note-taking program such as OneNote or BasKet or an online wiki to take outline-style notes. This doesn't work for every student or every course, but has many advantages: faster typing means more complete ideas are recorded, it will always be legible, and it is easier to edit and share your notes. It does not work so well for courses in which the notes include many pictures or diagrams, but you still may find it worthwhile. Be sure to backup your notes regularly if you do this!
You don't have to be too much of a perfectionist with note-taking. Some people are so careful at taking notes that often they cannot finish them during the lecture, and need to get them from someone else afterwards. Or, if they make a mistake, they must throw out the entire page. This is not a very efficient or productive way to take notes!
Do not perform manual activities which will detract from taking notes. Do not doodle or play with your pen. These activities break eye contact and concentration. Although some people learn best while fidgeting (an active learning style), it is distracting to others. Therefore, if you learn best while doodling or tapping your foot, sit near people who do the same or who don't keep glaring in your direction.
If you are gathering together your personal belongings when you should be listening, you're bound to miss an important point--perhaps an announcement about the next exam--or, at the least, insult the professor.
