Anxiety is something that we have all suffered from in our lives, whether it is exam nerves or just when trying something new for the first time. The anxiety soon passes and we get on. Yet imaging if the anxiety would not go away imaging if that sense of dread stayed with you, always worrying about what might/ could/ would go wrong. What if you felt so little control over your feelings you became scared of panicking not being able to get away from the source of the anxiety? This is the world that many with anxiety orders inhabit.
Prolonged exposure to anxiety can have a detrimental effect on your health with conditions like depression common. You feel that you should be able to control the feelings, but you have such an emotional response to it that the more cognitive side of your personality finds it difficult to exercise control.
Yet there is a way to begin to take back control and working with a counsellor can slowly bring you back in control of your life. There is no single thing but it is about re-training yourself to be honest about the problems, examine your anxiety and really determine the likelihood of bad things happening. You can look at your abilities to organise yourself and your life so that the scope for things to go wrong is reduced.
Exercise has been shown to make a big difference by helping to burn of the unhelpful hormones charging round your body and offering a space to switch of the anxiety as you concentrate on the exercise.
Working with a therapist can help you to work through that anxiety and get control of it. Looking at the causes and the possible solutions together you can arrive at solutions that are dealing with anxiety for you.
