With regards to panic attack/anxiety, heard some experts say avoid things that would trigger your panic attack/anxiety, but some experts say face your fears head on to 'cure' your panic attack/anxiety. So don't know what to do is the correct way.

Anyway, panic attack/anxiety could happen to anyone and any age. This is something not easy to handle, to deal with and to 'cure' it once you got it.

From my own personal experience, face the fear is better.....

Fear and anxiety is actually quite different.  Fear is usually an emotion that comes when you have to face something that you scare about.  For eq fear of heights, fear of public speaking, fear of dogs, etc....

Anxiety is not an emotion. It is a worrying thought that constantly runs in the mind over things that may or may not happen. It is often due to overthinking where they are always worry and imagine that things may go wrong. Usually the things that they have anxiety about, never really happens.

So fear is an emotional condition to warn you fight or flight, whereas anxiety is a mental condition.

To overcome fear, my experience is to face it. Once you face it,  the fear will go away.

To overcome anxiety, we need to understand what is the trigger that cause those worries. Is it due to job profile? For example someone who doesn't like to meet strangers will surely get anxiety all day long if he has to do sales. Or is the trigger some personal issues?  If it is some personal issues, can that issue be addressed? Or is it something that is out of that person's control? Usually if some personal issue, then the best way is to talk to someone to seek help or assurances.

Fear is an illusion. 

Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

If the fear doesn't disrupt your life or livelihood,  then I don't see why need to think abt it.  Many people fear of snakes,.....well, just avoid it, unless they wanna be a snake-charmer or something...😁

I had to overcome my fear because it is part of the job.  It is either I overcome it or I quit the job. But because  I am not from strawberry generation, I am not prepared to quit my job after a week citing stress😁😁. So I dive deep into the fear, face it, and after another week, I came out feeling like a superman lol.....
