I want somehow to tell the story of how the dispossessed become possessed of their history without losing sight, without forgetting the meaning or the nature of their journey.
To use the past without being controlled by it - that is our responsibility to history.
Because the past is irrecoverably vanished, it's sometimes tempting to forget it or to falsify it.
But being true to ourselves means being true to our history.
Past cruelties can remain powerful in our lives - yet to take possession of our history means to free ourselves of bondage to past events.
Nothing can ever change them.
If we are to make the future good, we'll learn what the past can teach us.
But our freedom requires us to make choices based on the needs of the present, not the past.
I can act at every moment in such a way as to honor the past and enhance the future.

My reflection of the day
The chief activator of our defects has been self-centered fear - mainly fear that we would lose something we already possessed or that we would fail to get something we demanded.
Living on the basis of unsatisfied demands, we obviously were in a state of continual disturbance and frustration.
Therefore, we are taught, no peace will be ours unless we find a means of reducing these demands.
Have I become entirely ready to have God remove all my defects of character?
Today I pray:
May I make no unrealistic demands on life, which, because of their grandiosity, cannot be met.
May I place no excessive demands on others which, when they are not fulfilled, leave me disappointed and let down.
Today I will remember:
The set-up for a let-down

Exploring Anxiety Attacks and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
We all must deal with a certain level of anxiety during our daily lives. However, it is possible feelings of stress, nervousness, and anxiousness can impair with our daily life activities. In general, however, mild cases of anxiety can be managed effectively. Then, there are instances where anxiety levels increase to the point they manifest into serious conditions. Such is the case with anxiety attacks and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In order to properly deal with these conditions, it is important to clearly understand what these conditions entail.
Anxiety Attacks
The common feelings of anxiety are annoying but manageable. Irritability and nervousness can be problematic but they are not impossible to deal with. However, an overwhelming and incapacitating sense of fear that appears out of the blue is not easy to handle. This manifestation of fear is known as an anxiety attack (panic attack) and it is debilitating and dangerous. Such overwhelming anxiety attacks can lead to difficulty in breathing, nausea, a racing heartbeat, and severe pains in the chest. Often, these feelings are so severe the person who suffers from an anxiety attack will assume he is experiencing a heart attack.
The root origins of an anxiety attack can vary. Sometimes, an anxiety attack can be brought on by something buried deep in the subconscious. For example, a person who is seriously worrying about paying a bill could have an anxiety attack after walking past a bank. However, the individual may not be consciously aware that the image of the bank brought about the anxiety attack.
The various causes of panic attacks can be stress, alcohol/drug issues, hereditary problems, fears and phobias, or environmental related causes such as a difficult home or work life. The amount of time an anxiety occur lasts will vary from individual to individual as will the frequency of panic attack episodes.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
While anxiety attacks are severe, the condition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is even more problematic. Once considered solely the result of war experiences, psychologists have discovered there are many different causes for the development of this serious psychological condition.
PTSD is a form of anxiety disorder that results from exposure to an event that yielded either severe physical harm or the potential for physical harm and/or death. Common sufferers of PTSD include veterans, police/fire personnel, victims of crime or abuse, or those involved in serious, life threatening accidents.
What makes the anxiety of PTSD so powerful is that sufferers of this condition relieve the trauma experience over and over in their head. This comes in the form of flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts. These symptoms are usually brought about as a result of triggers in the conscious world that affect the subconscious. For example, a victim of a mugging could suffer flashbacks when coming across a police drama on television. Because these intrusive thoughts are so overwhelming, the individual will seek to reduce exposures to triggers. This can be achieved by withdrawing from life, isolating oneself, becoming a workaholic, or taking part in other means of avoidance. Clearly, this would have a very negative effect on one’s life.
Dealing with the Conditions
Thankfully, there are a number of ways anxiety attacks and PTSD can be treated. Therapy and outpatient prescription medication care are means that have long since proven to be successful. Those that are dealing with these conditions should consult with a qualified mental healthcare professional to discuss treatment options.

Being alive...
God creates. People rearrange.
Being alive is our invitation to act in fresh, inventive ways.
All it takes is concentrating on our inner vision in combination with external reality.
The components for accomplishing any task are at our fingertips, awaiting discovery.
Our burdens are lightened when we understand that all situations are resolvable - no mystery need leave us in the dark for long.
Just as surely as we each exist, so exists every element we need to solve any problem or chart any new course.
Our purpose in life is to select those elements that will satisfy the need.
We each have been blessed with this capability for proper selection.
The day promises challenge and many choices.
I can successfully handle all possibilities.

Growth
Self-determination does not mean exercising intellectual mastery at all times over bodily, earthly processes, though the capacity for that mastery expands our human possibilities.
Growth means learning the limits of our will.
What appears to be mastery - flying in an airplane, for example - is merely cooperation with natural forces.
Human intellect does not master natural processes; we tap into them, learn them, bring our own aims into harmony with them.
The world is not a jungle, to be hacked, cleared, or bulldozed.
Human beings are learning not to clear jungles that way either.
The world is us extended over the globe.
We can spend our whole lives discovering the wonderfull oneness of creation.
The awareness of this unity expands our human possibility, for each case is an example of our growing harmony with nature.
I will pray for harmonious resolution of my human possibilities with the great forces of nature.

"What if..."
"What if..." - How often we hear these words from people?
How often, in fact, we tend to say them ourselves.
"What if I lose my job?"
"What if my car breaks down?"
"What if I get sick and con't work?"
"What if my child gets hooked on drugs?"
What if - anything our desperate imaginings can project.
Only two small words, yet how heavy-laden they are with dread, fear and anxiety.
The answer to "What if..." is, plainly and simply, "Don't project."
We can only live with our problems as they arise, living one day at a time.
Am I keeping my thoughts positive?
Today I pray:
May I grow spiritually, without being held back by anxieties.
May projected fears not hobble my pursuits or keep me from making the most of today.
May I turn out fear by faith.
If I will only make a place for God within me, He will remove my fears.
Today I will remember:
I can only borrow trouble at high interest rates

My reflection of the day
If I live just one day at a time, I won't so quickly entertain fears of what might happen tomorrow.
As long as I'm concentrating on today's activities, there won't be room in my mind for worrying.
I'll try to fill every minute of this day with something good - seen, heard, accomplished.
Then, when the day is ended, I'll be able to look back on it with satisfaction, serenity and gratitude.
Do I sometimes cheerish bad feelings so that I can feel sorry for myself?
Today I pray:
That I will get out of the self-pity act and live for today.
May I notice the good things from dawn to nighfall, learn to talk about them and thank God for them.
May I catch myself if I seem to be relishing my moans and complaints more often than appreciating the goodness of my life.

Relantionships
Relantionships are only as alive as the people engaging in them.
We receive from every experience in proportion to what we give.
In other words, the richness of our lives is necessarily dependent on the depth of our commitment.
Reserved involvement guarantees only limited rewards, while wholehearted efforts promise full-scale returns.
In all aspects of our lives, we'll find this to be true.
Our relantionships gift us justly.
These experiences with others are woven together, and their beauty is equal to the beauty we bring to one another's company.
However, if we bring only criticism and bleak hopelessness to a relantionship, we'll find despair rather than joy.
Every relantionship is the sum and substance of the partners involved.
No relantionship is more fruitful than the efforts of those doing the pruning.
How much do I give to the relantionships I deem meaningful?
They bless me in just proportion to what I give.
Today gives me a chance to make a greater contribution.

My reflection of the day
Before, fear ruled our lifes.
Tyrannized by our addictions and obsessions, we feared everything and everybody.
We feared ourselves and, perhaps most of all, feared fear itself.
These days, when I am able to accept the help of my Higher Power, it makes me feel capable of doing anything I am called upon to do.
I am overcoming my fears and acquiring a comfortable new confidence.
Can I believe that "courage is fear that has said its prayers..."?
Today I pray:
God grant that through faith in Him, I may overcome my obsessive fears.
I have been running scared for so long it has become a habit.
God help me to see that I may be purposely clinging to my fears to avoid making decisions, perhaps even to shirk the responsibility of sucess.
Today I will remember:
Fear keeps me safe from risk-taking.

Stress Symptoms and Stress Management
Stress is a part of our everyday lives and in small amounts can even be good for us. It challenges us to meet and exceed current limits so that we become stronger, faster, better. However, there are people for whom stress is an everyday, ongoing problem that impacts their lives and even their health negatively. In very severe cases, stress can become so overwhelming that it literally makes them shut down. For these people, stress management is imperative if they're going to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
What are stress symptoms?
Stress symptoms can occur in both the physical body and psychologically. Physical stress symptoms include overwhelming fatigue, muscle tension, headaches, gastrointestinal distress like stomach aches, constipation or diarrhea and excessive weight loss or weight gain.
Psychological stress symptoms can occur, too, and they can actually exacerbate physical stress symptoms. Nervousness, anxiety, under- or overeating, difficulty sleeping (or sleeping too much), no longer enjoying activities once enjoyed, negative mood changes, and being short tempered are all psychological stress symptoms.
How stress management is best addressed?
If you are among those who have significant stress symptoms (psychological, emotional or both) such that they negatively impact your life and ability to enjoy it, there are things you can do to ease it.
First of all, figure out what is giving you stress. There's a good chance you can change external circumstances so that your stress levels automatically go down without any other type of intervention.
The fact is, all of us need balance and time for winding down. In today's 24-hour a day, seven-days-a-week world, multitasking is considered admirable, and being "on the go" all the time is something one is expected to be proud of. Yet, that's not how we're built, and we need time to relax, recreate, sleep, and simply "be" as much as we need to be busy, to be productive, and to work.
Identifying your stress: Is it permanent, or temporary?
It can be difficult with this "go, go, go" mentality to even identify when exactly you are experiencing stress. We're so "on" all the time that we can't even slow down long enough to figure this out. So keep a journal for a few days and just write down moments you identify as feeling particularly stressful.
After a few days, take a look back at what you've written and figure out what's making you feel particularly stressful. Are you in college, for example, with exams coming up? That's "normal" stress. In general, this is temporary stress that's going to go away as soon as the exams are over.
But if you have some pretty permanent ongoing stress (such as that you're going to school full-time AND working a full-time and part-time job besides), it's no wonder that you're feeling continually stressed. Your body isn't meant to function in an "on" position all the time.
In that case, it's time to make some changes. You simply have to make some time in your schedule to have "down" time and of course, enough time to sleep and eat properly. Most people need between seven and eight hours of sleep a night. In addition, it's healthy (not lazy) to give yourself at least an hour to do anything you want to, at least a couple of times a week, if not every day -- even if that just means sitting down and reading a book you've wanted to for a long time. People who are balanced and not stressed out make time for leisure, relaxation and sleep just as they do for jobs, family, and responsibilities.
Diet matters, too
If your diet contains a lot of caffeine or sugar, or unhealthy foods, your anxiety levels and stress levels can be higher just as a matter of course. The fact is, your body needs good nutritious food to run properly. Minerals like calcium and magnesium and vitamins like the B vitamins are natural emotional regulators. In other words, they're not just good for your body, but they're good for your mind, too. If you don't get enough of these in your diet, you could be experiencing anxiety or stress just from this lack. Try getting a good balanced diet and taking a good multivitamin and mineral supplement in addition to the other lifestyle changes talked about previously.
If external changes aren't enough
If your stress is longer-lasting or does not drop to normal levels with schedule changes so that you have time to relax and distress, sleep enough and eat properly, it can be helpful to talk to a counsellor or psychiatrist. In some cases, medications may help when nothing else has worked.
The bottom line
Stress management is something everyone has to do. Whether you can manage your stress simply by incorporating lifestyle and dietary changes, or whether you need more help in the form of counselling, health care intervention, or an anxiety management manual, you can manage your stress so that your life becomes healthy, balanced and enjoyable once again.

The door
If you shut your door to all errors, truth will be shut out.
Since so much of the world remains mysterious, how can we rule out new possibilities?
It's very human to want to cling to the little bits of truth we're sure of; but we mustn't use those bits of knowledge to keep us from the possibility of further discoveries.
True wisdom includes the humility to acknowledge what we don't know.
The careful scientist and the experienced physician are humble before the immensity of what they don't know.
New experiences, new relations and connections can reveal more and more, if we are open to them.
Once we decide we know something - and close our minds to the possibility that we don't - we're keeping ourselfes willfully ignorant. Filtering out life's richness robs us of our birthright - experience.
Nothing is true that can't stand to be tested against life's flow.
Even welcome visitors can only enter through a door I've opened.

My reflection of the day
I can banish fear by realizing the truth. Am I afraid to be alone?
This fear can be banished by the realization that I am never alone, that God is always with me wherever I am and whatever I do.
Am I afraid that I won't have enough money to meet my needs?
This fear can be banished by the realization that God is my inexhaustible, unfailing resource, now and always.
Today I have the power to change fear into faith.
Can I say with confidence "I will trust, and will not be afraid?"
Today I pray:
That I may fear no evil, for God is with me.
That I may learn to turn to my Higher Power when I am afraid.
I pray diligently that my faith in God and trust in what He has in store for me is strong enough to banish the fears that undermine my courage.
Today I will remember:

Self-love
When we think of cruelty, we must try to remember the stupidity, the envy, the frustration from which it has arisen.
Our outer behaviour matches our inner state of mind and emotional well-being.
Our expectations of others are consistent with our personal expectations.
When we feel less than adequate because of our imperfections, we treat others like failures, too.
How someone treats us today indicates how that person feels about herself or himself.
Self-love is lacking wherever people criticize others destructively, and self-love is necessary before we can offer love to any of the people in our lives.
Developing self-love requires discipline.
Our existence verifies our value as human beings.
Understanding that our lives do have purpose contributes to our ability to love ourselfes.
Today is day one for me to develop my loving behaviour.

My reflection of the day
The terrifying fear of nothingness begins to subside.
We find that the basic antidote for fear is a spiritual awakening.
We lose the fear of making decisions, for we realize that if our choice proves wrong, we can learn from the experience.
And should our decision be the right one, we can thank God for giving us the courage and the grace that caused us to act. Am I grateful for the courage and grace I receive from God?
Today I pray:
I ask that I be given the power to act, knowing that I have at least a half-chance to make the right decision and that I can learn from the wrong one. For so long, decision-making seemed beyond my capabilities. Now, I can find joy in being able to make choices. Thank you, God, for courage.
Today I will remember:

Happiness
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
We find hapiness with our friends, if we expect it there.
The workplace guarantees it, too, if we go in search of it.
Happiness visits us in our solitude and in our myriad involvements.
Wherever we are, so is happiness, unless we've chosen to keep it out.
Our attitudes are powerful, and will prevail in all matters, with all people.
Happiness is contagious. It spreads quickly when shared freely.
When it catches up with us, the cares of the day are immediately lightened.
We have lessons to learn in this life, and we have essential contributions to make, contributions that will ease another's burdens, foster happiness in another's heart.
Likewise, someone else's lessons may well encourage our own happiness.
Every struggle is eased by laughter. I am never left to struggle alone, unless by choice. Today will be joyful and eventful if I live in the laughter.
We find hapiness with our friends, if we expect it there.
The workplace guarantees it, too, if we go in search of it.
Happiness visits us in our solitude and in our myriad involvements.
Wherever we are, so is happiness, unless we've chosen to keep it out.
Our attitudes are powerful, and will prevail in all matters, with all people.
Happiness is contagious. It spreads quickly when shared freely.

My reflection of the day
When I came into the online anxiety, stress and depression discussions, I found people who knew exactly what I meant when I spoke finally of my fears.
They had been where I had been; They "understood".
I've since learned that many of my fears have to do with projection. It's normal, for example, to have a tiny "back-burner" fear that the person I love will leave me.
But when the fear takes precedence over my present and very real relationship with the person I'm afraid of losing, then I'm in trouble.
My responsibility to myself includes this: I must not fear things which do not exist. Am I changing from a fearful person into a fearless person?
Today I pray:
I ask God's help in waving away my fears - those figments, fantasies, monstrous thoughts, projections of disaster which have no bearing on the present.
May I narrow the focus of my imagination and concentrate on the here-and-now, for I tend to see the future through a magnifying glass.
Today I will remember:
Projected fears, like shadows, are larger than life.

Spiritual center
"Although the act of nurturing another's spiritual growth has the effect of nurturing one's own, a major characteristic of genuine love is that the distinction between oneself and the other is always maintained and preserved".
Those we love must be free to love us in return, or leave us.
The honest evidence of our love is our commitment to encouraging another's full development.
We are interdependent personalities who need one another's presence in order to fulfill our destiny. And yet, we are also separate individuals.
We must come to terms with our struggles alone.
One gift of life available to each of us is security, the sense that accompanies the recognition of our spiritual gifts strengthens our own.
Nothing is too dificult when we act in unison as separate entities, relying on the spiritual core that strengthens us to meet any situation.
My own spiritual center will be strengthened if I help someone else develop theirs.

My reflection of the day
Do I waste my time and energy wrestling with situations that aren't actually worth a second thought?
Like Don Quixote, the bemused hero of Spanish literature, do I imagine windmills as menacing giants, battling them until I am ready to drop from exhaustion?
Today, I'll not allow my imagination to build small troubles into big ones, I'll try to see each situation clearly, giving it only the value and attention it deserves.
Today I pray:
God, keep my perspective sane. Help me to avoid aggrandizing petty problems, tting too much significance to casual conversations, making a Vesuvius out of an anthill. Keep my fears from swelling out fo scale, like shadows on a wall. Restore my values, which became distorted during the days of my anxiety suffering.

The Stress Test
Are you sick of stress-relief advice? Tired of being told to relax in a warm bath and dab yourself with aromatherapy oils? Stress affects different personalities in different ways, so one person’s sure-fire solution may leave you feeling more wound-up than ever.
If your doctor has prescribed an exercise stress test to monitor how your heart performs during activity, there are a few things you should do before the test:
• For at least 3 hours prior to the stress test, don’t eat or smoke. And don’t drink anything that contains alcohol or caffeine.
• Do not use Viagra within 24 hours of the test. Nitro-glycerine (sometimes given during a stress test) may interact with Viagra, resulting in a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Unless your doctor has instructed otherwise, take all of your other medications as you normally would.
• You’ll be exercising during the test, so wear appropriate clothing, including comfortable shoes or sneakers and loose workout clothes
• For the test itself, electrodes that monitor your heart’s activity will be applied to your chest, and you will pedal, walk or run on a machine while your heart rate is monitored
The best way for me to check if you are suffering from stress (you will find more detailed information on http://www.manage-anxiety.com) is simply by acknowledging if you notice some of the following signs and symptoms:
Feeling sweaty or shivery
Pounding heart or palpitations
Needing to go to the toilet a lot more than normal
Feeling sick in the stomach (Having butterflies)
Dry mouth
Exhaustion
Old aches and pains
Smoking or drinking more
Working to exhaustion
Headaches
No time for hobbies any more
Being irritable at everything
Thinking “I can’t cope with this anymore”
Loss of appetite for food, fun or sex
Eating too much or too little
Loss of sense of humour
Loss of interest in personal appearance
Loss of interest in other people
A feeling that everything is pointless
Tearfulness
Forgetfulness
Feeling tired and having no energy
Difficulty in sleeping, disturbed sleep and waking up unusually early
In prehistoric times, this bodily reaction to stress was exactly what was needed. This is attributed to physiological changes that occurred to the body when danger appeared. Chemicals, especially adrenalin, were released into body and prepared it for fight or flight. The heart beat faster; blood supply was transferred from the non-essential to the essential; from the skin and digestive organs to the muscles and the head.
The resulted both in clearer, swifter thinking and faster, stronger muscular responses.
The lungs took in more oxygen, breathing became more rapid, and the body anticipated keeping cool by increasing perspiration. Once the danger had passed or fighting or fleeing had occurred (successfully!), the bodily functions reverted to normal.
In prehistoric times, these bodily responses were vital for survival. Then the energy generated by stress was utilized in physical action.
Today, however, the problems and stresses that we experience have changed radically and can rarely be resolved with physical action. We are not designed to operate effectively in this hi-tech world. Hunting for food is now replaced by jostling with our trolleys in supermarkets!
Psychological stresses lead to the same bodily state of arousal as does fight and flight, but mostly without any accompanying physical activity to use up the adrenalin and energy made available. When this stress is prolonged, physical and mental damage will occur, sometimes resulting in serious disease.
The reason why you need to be educated as much as possible about it and have the right “tools” to use to defend yourself from it or eliminate it.
By using the Anxiety Management manual from http://www.manage-anxiety.com, you will indeed be prepared and take action accordingly to the situations that will arise on a daily basis.
Remember, this is all in your head and only YOU can deal with it. No pills, no oils, will ever eliminate it.

Getting over depression and social anxiety
Suffering from depression and social anxiety can be a debilitating factor in anyone’s life. Those that suffer from these conditions find themselves living their lives in a sheltered manner to protect them from having to experience these feelings. What a lot of these individuals don’t understand is that there is plenty of help available to overcome these feelings, especially if you catch these conditions early on before they get a chance to anchor themselves in your psyche.
Depression is a condition that affects just about every part of you and your body. Once the ball gets rolling with depression, it can be quite difficult to reverse the trend and you will find that not only does your mental health deteriorate, but your physical well being is at stake as well. It can start with them being down about an event in their lives and then it quickly becomes a way of life. They start to believe that they cannot be successful at anything and then they climb into a dark shell.
There are several different types of depression, most notably: Bipolar Disorder, Dysthymia and Major Depression. Any of these conditions will affect a person’s judgment and behaviour in a dramatic way. They will feel hopeless, guilty, sad, won’t be able to sleep, can experience unexplained weight loss or gain and will often have the desire to commit suicide. There are more signs than this, but you can see how serious this condition is.
Social Anxiety is often just the beginning of an anxiety disorder and will often end up in a state of depression. The natural progression of someone with a social anxiety disorder is to pull out of any situation that gives them that anxiety and then they end up closing themselves out of life all together.
There are many different types of social anxiety disorders and they are often triggered from a specific event or fear. While people with these disorders can function normally at other things, their particular fear will trigger a series of responses that will literally freeze them in their tracks. Common signs of anxiety are: increased heart beat, cold sweats or chills, feelings of hopelessness, nausea and uncontrollable shaking.
Social anxiety is something, like depression, that can be cured if it is caught in time. The key is to not behind by the illness, but recognize it and seek out help. One of the reasons a lot of people let this go too far is the sheer fact of embarrassment or perceiving it as a sign of weakness when it is anything but. In reality, it is something that everyone goes through to one degree or another it just takes a grip on some people in a more severe manner.
There are also things that you can do on your own to try and help yourself get over these conditions. By allowing yourself to experience successes in things that you normally feel doomed, you can eventually get over the dark feelings that you are having. Now you obviously cannot do these kinds of things without getting some kind of guidance, but know that there is plenty out there for you. There are many sites on the internet, such as www.manage-anxiety.com, that can help you to not only understand your condition, but to conquer it as well. If you want to get your life back, confront your condition and take it over versus having it run your life!

Being Over Anxious
Being over-anxious in certain cases is something that happens to most of all humans. The problem arises when some people can’t lower down their anxiety levels to a normal human body level, which is 3 or 4 in a scale of 1 to 10.
We, humans, all need a certain amount of anxiety in order to focus the mind on the immediate problem, for example, when learning how to drive, being aware of road safety.
Anxiety also helps to motivate and protect, therefore giving a sense of achievement, building self-confidence and self-esteem.
Below we will see a few different types of Anxiety disorders:
Agoraphobia
Anticipatory Anxiety
Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Claustrophobia
Compulsive Nail Biting
Compulsive Skin Picking
Emetophobia
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Health Anxiety
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Panic Attacks
PTSD
Simple/Specific Phobias
Social Anxiety Disorder
Toilet Phobia
Trichotillomania
Short term helpful anxiety arises as a temporary and immediate response to perceived danger that often turns off when the perceived danger passes.
Taking medication for anxiety, stress or depression is not a solution, first because is a “legal” drug you putting in your body.
Second, due to the main problem being in your mind and pills will just give a moment of satisfaction but then after 10/15 minutes, you back on in full anxiety mode.
Avoid any medication to cure anxiety, stress or depression and look for a viable Anxiety Management Manual that can guide you through all the bad times, with correct tools and “secrets” that will change your life forever.
This is all about you!! Only you have the power to control your anxiety levels to human body level.
With a help of an anxiety management manual, it will guide you through the daily difficulties that will arise no matter what.

Symptoms of Anxiety & Anxiety Disorder
Symptoms of Anxiety
There are both emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety. Emotional symptoms include restlessness, feeling tense and jumpy, difficulty concentrating, feelings of apprehension or dread, irritability (sometimes for no reason), anticipating the worst and watching for signs of danger. Physical symptoms include racing heart rate, sweating, nausea, dizziness, frequent urination, or diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia, shortness of breath, headaches, muscle tension, and tremors or twitching.
One of the common manifestations of anxiety is a panic attack. There are a number of signs that a panic attack is about to occur or is starting--hyperventilation, hot flashes or chills, trembling or shaking, stomach cramps, a choking sensation, a surge of overwhelming panic, loss of control, heart palpitations or chest pains, and the feeling that you’re about to pass out. Because these symptoms can be very severe, many people think that they are having a heart attack or dying when it occurs unexpectedly. It is important that if you suffer from anxiety that you know what to expect when a panic attack occurs.
Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) makes the sufferer feel as though he is in a constant state of anxiety. There does not have to a specific trigger that causes it and it is often accompanied by depression. GAD sufferers often experience chronic fatigue, insomnia, restlessness, body aches, and upset stomach.
One of the most frustrating aspects of GAD is the racing thoughts. You just can’t turn off your brain no matter how hard you try. Everything you hear becomes cause for concern and ends up as a vicious cycle of anxious thoughts going through your head. Normal worries are a part of life for everyone, but GAD sufferers take it to the extreme. For example, a simple comment about the economy might cause some worry in almost anyone, but a person with GAD will be up all night worrying about losing her job the next day. A person with GAD will always imagine the worst-case scenario for even the most minor problems. Fortunately, there is hope.
At www.manage-anxiety.com, you will find an Anxiety Management Manual that will help people who suffer from being over-anxious, stressed, and depressed. This will help people with anxiety disorder or any other anxiety, stress or depression related problem.
