How to STOP Anxiety!


www.LearningDisabilityDynamics.com http www.LearningDisabilityDynamics.com Sick of feeling nervous? I would be! A simple plan to eliminate it. Anxiety is a physiological state characterized by cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral components (Seligman, Walker & Rosenhan, 2001). These components combine to create the feelings that we typically recognize as fear, apprehension, or worry. Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, or headache. The cognitive component entails expectation of a diffuse and certain danger. Somatically the body prepares the organism to deal with threat (known as an emergency reaction) blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, bloodflow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited. Externally, somatic signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupillary dilation. Emotionally, anxiety causes a sense of dread or panic and physically causes nausea, and chills. Behaviorally, both voluntary and involuntary behaviors may arise directed at escaping or avoiding the source of anxiety and often maladaptive, being most extreme in anxiety disorders. However, anxiety is not always pathological or maladaptive: it is a common emotion along with fear, anger, sadness, and happiness, and it has a very important function in relation to survival.

  8. hahaha! that first one is exactly how my boyfriend thinks! =P maybe i should take on his mindset. =D

  9. i like the worst case scenerio idea, HOWEVER to a person with GAD that is simply not enough to have a worst case scenerio…because to think about what bad things COULD happen actually fuels the anxiety for some. but you are on to something so kudos!

  10. I think anxiety comes from not believing you can handle it if something doesn’t go perfectly for you. Just knowing that you can handle anything and believing in yourself means there’s nothing to be anxious about!

    I used to have anxiety and it used to cripple me but I think to myself whenever I feel anxiety creeping in, if ‘they’ can do ‘it’ so can I. If they have the ability to learn and adapt, then hey guess what, so can I. Haven’t looked back since and am loving it.

  11. Hey, I know it doesn’t seem terribly amazing at first, but try Klonopin. The stuff really works. What I did was started taking Klonopin to relieve my symptoms where I could think, then started to rationalize all my problems by understanding why they were making me anxious. It may not work for everyone, but it worked for me very well. My symptoms have cleared almost completely. Actually, they did clear, but came back after I moved into my mother’s house. Turns out mold was causing my dizziness.

  12. Oh, and btw, the Vagus Nerve controls many of the symptoms of anxiety attacks. Most doctors dont know this, but the vagus nerve can be irritated by an upset stomach, which may simulate(not cause) a heart attack (I thought I was going to die). I have GERD and bad posture, so my stomach was unable to digest well. By burping, taking Alka Seltzer, eating toast and drinking lots of water, I’ve killed most of my symptoms(I also take Loratadine for allergies, which caused anxiety).

    and i am trying super hard to not avoid situations and just deal with things…..
    most times i can just get up and do it and then i feel so much better

    good video

    on my way to a new job

  20. I have this and I sometimes feel down and tired for days (about 12 days on one occasion). Stressful times at school, and the fact that I’m virtually friendless doesn’t work in. The person I confide in most is my mother, and she is often not able to talk or when she does can get frustrated with me. Over a long worrying spell (say 10 days), she often wonders why I trot out the same points all the time. I think that’s because I don’t learn satisfactorily after each outbreak. But thanks, this helped
