Anxiety can be the bane of people’s existence, causing sleepless nights and panic attacks that are hugely detrimental to quality of life.
While the symptoms of an anxiety problem or disorder can be managed with medication, most users find this in itself presents problems – namely lethargy, which can be difficult if one needs to work or drive a car.
Instead, it is most effective for a sufferer of high anxiety to find other ways to cope with their condition.
Anxiety can be defined as a state of fear which is without justifiable reason.
While many people feel anxious upon hearing bad or worrying news, this is a normal level of anxiety caused by a shock reaction of adrenaline in the body – and is usually harmless.
Anxiety becomes a problem, known as a disorder, when these moments of high anxiety happen frequently or without just cause.
Just cause’ is difficult to define, as usually there will be some basis of fear which is creating the anxiety attack.
However, in cases such as those suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, this fear is not in scale with the problem actually presented to the individual – in a sense, an anxiety attack is an overreaction.
On the other side, many people experience anxiety for no definable reason (inflated or not) whatsoever. The most important thing to remember is that anxiety is not a sustainable state.
Severe anxiety uses up much of the bodies resources, and within half an hour, even the most severe symptoms will begin to subside.
Sometimes, with anxiety, all you can do is learn to ride it out.
