Why do your hands seize up and contort on you why your having a panic attack?

This just happened to me today for the first time ever. It was v scary, especially since I was driving at the time. I thought I was having a stroke. A nurse told me that the hands contort when they're not getting enough oxygen--i.e., when the panicked person is hyperventilating. To make it stop, you have to get control of your breathing & take deep, slow breaths. (I still don't understand why it's the hands that are affected, and not some other body part.)

Can you regain the memories you've lost after going through amnesia?

It depends on the mechanism of memory loss. If it's physical damage (say encephalitis or brain trauma) to areas such as the hippocampus or related structures, then no. This is what is called 'retrograde amnesia', meaning you forget more things closer to the event of brain damage (with amnesia extending about 2 years back, getting better the further before the event). This is phsyical amnesia and you don't regain those memories. However, there is amnesia induced by stress or psychological disorders, where the memories are there but you are consciously or (most likely) subconsciously suppressing them. Recovering such memories is possible but difficult. You also run into the danger of 'remembering' things that never really happen.

Really, the best way to deal with it is rather than try to remember the lost memories, deal with the psychological boundaries (stress, trauma, etc.) that's blocking them.

Dealing with Stress by Walking it Out?

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." These words are as true when dealing with stress as they are when dealing with fear and any other form of anxiety.

By getting some fresh air and attaining a larger picture of the world around you, it's hard to remain stressed.

What is the stress level of being an executive chef?

Every day I have to work from two in the morning to four at night.

I have to chop six pounds of onions, six pounds of garlic, and six pounds of parsley every day.

When I first started cooking school I hated every day of it. Getting paid so little compared to the rest of the staff, the daily pressures like when you finish cooking a perfectly browned piece of sirloin steak with creamy mash potatoes, green and yellow beans and a spinach pastry roll and plate the food on a beautiful plate, and five minutes later the waiter comes back with the plate stating that the customer asked for his stake medium rare and the stake is too dry!

I know when the stake is to dry but I had to cook up another stake.

Being a chef takes long periods of time to find your weaknesses and strengths while you are cooking.

It drives me nuts when I have to get the sous chefs to stop goofing around when they should be cooking.

I would like to spend more time with my family but I am always busy.

Creating a new menu with new flavours and tastes can be very stressful.

The dishes must be executed in a timely manner in order for the food to stay warm when customer is served and is ready to eat.

When I am working the staff and I have to be very careful not to burn ourselves because we are working in such high temperature ovens.

Cooking is one of my favourite things to do in life and I am very glad that I chose this profession.

Being around food all day is amazing.

I get to learn from other chefs who cook different cuisines it brings different ideas to the restaurant when I am thinking of new ideas for the menu.

While I was at cooking school I found it very tough during my three years of cooking school.

All the other chefs want to be a chef and graduate just as much as you want to so I had to prove to then that I not only deserved the spot but I have the talent just as much as they do.
