Anxiety
Summary: Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and
it also helps you cope in tense situations.
Everyone knows what it feels like to be anxious- you feel
butterflies in your stomach your actions become topsy-turvy, you
can almost hear your heart beat right next to your ears, and you
are sweating like you are jogging. These are what you go through
usually if you have stage fright and you are required to speak in
public, or during your first date (who knows when was that!).
These, among other feelings (feelings of anxiety) are normal
reactions to stress.
Anxiety stirs you up in action. It helps you deal with a tense
situation like focusing on a speech that you are about to give,
studying harder for an exam, or staying interesting on your first
date to make it to the second, and all that. In general, it helps
you deal with any situation that is normally terrifying, especially
if you are doing it the first time. I, for one, have many times
been in this kind of situation and I can tell you it is only
passing. But, if it elevates to excessive, irrational fear of
everyday situations, now it has become an immobilizing
disorder.
Anxiety disorder can cause you to be filled with fearfulness and
ambiguity which maybe felt briefly only. However some anxiety
disorder last at least 6 months and has the tendency to get worse
if not treated immediately. Anxiety disorders usually occur along
with other psychological or physical sickness, including alcohol or
drug abuse, which can actually worsen the situation.
If you think you have anxiety disorder, don't hesitate to seek
information about it and find treatment right away before it gets
into you. There are effective therapies out there and recent
research reveals new treatments that can help most people with this
condition lead fruitful and fulfilling lives.
There are five major types of anxiety disorders; general anxiety
disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panics disorder,
posttraumatic disorder (PST), specific phobias, and social phobia
or social anxiety disorder. Each of the anxiety disorder has
different symptoms, but all the symptoms come together around
excessive and irrational fear or dread.
Every normal thinking person is expected to feel anxious in
certain areas of his/her life, especially when he/she feels out of
control of a situation. There are many reasons that anxiety creeps
to your life but if it triggers you to some positive action, then
you are handling it the best way.
Stop worrying too much after you have done the best you can on any
life situation or responsibility. Let things be, if things are
meant to happen, they will happen. Enjoy life for there are many
reasons to be happy, so why worry?
