Tips To Overcome Anxiety Without The Use Of Medication

By Eric L. Miller


Various forms and degrees of anxiety affect a huge number of people of all ages, races, and genders. It is not a disease. In fact, this is perfectly normal for a human being. However, if the condition goes beyond normal and the attacks become frequent, it becomes a disorder.

Experts agree that feeling anxious does not necessarily mean you are suffering from an anxiety disorder. It is therefore crucial that you are able to distinguish between what is normal and what is not. If you are showing anxiety symptoms, you should not immediately conclude that you are suffering from the disorder, or something is wrong with your mental health. An excellent indication if an anxiety disorder is present, is the feeling of "I can't". Most individuals that are held captive by anxiety disorder cannot function in everyday life and seclude themselves from everyone.Anxiety disorders can affect both kids and adults, and are in fact, the most common among mental illnesses. However, these disorders are curable; unfortunately, only a handful of those who have it seek treatment and seek solutions on how to overcome anxiety.

Read the following tips to overcome anxiety without medication and learn to bring those methods into your everyday life.Stress, Love, and Comparing.As it was discussed in the opening paragraph, anxiety mainly occurs as a result of stressful way of living and lack of love. Both of these conditions are merely illusions of our mind and they are the result of constant comparing with other people and the race to win over them and get them to love us for that.

I believe all of us know how is it like when we compare ourselves with other people and feel that we are not good enough. Such kind of thinking is the most powerful fuel for feelings of anxiety because it puts us under a great deal of stress. We believe that we must somehow become better looking, or more successful or better in any other way so that people will like us. If we cannot manage to attain that, we feel depressed and inadequate to the society.We should understand that we are perfect and whole beings and are not supposed to feel any other way. The illusion that we somehow need to acquire this emotional fulfillment from the outside and show a particular image to the world is manly taught by our dear media and society.

Although it is not a good idea to depend on medication, some might help ease attacks such as selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors (SSRI). This includes Prozac and benzodiazepines, which is an anti-anxiety drug that helps lessen panic symptoms.It takes time before you can completely get over anxiety disorder. Medications are short-term solutions while psychotherapy and behavioral therapies are long-term. You can have yourself admitted to centers that deal with such kinds of problems. Give yourself enough time to get rid of anxiety. Soon, your anxieties will be just a memory.

Control your thoughts: Anxiety is created by the mind. Negative thoughts will get your mind to remember pass experiences where you felt bad or fearful, you will also create in your mind bad experiences that have not yet happened. You need to learn to control your negative thoughts you can do this by recognising when you are doing this. Change your thinking and focus on something more positive. Also see the outcome of your situation in a positive light.Bad Feelings work as a fuel to the anxiety that you have. Try to gain little self discipline and never allow your negative emotions get over you. There may be some need for you to generate emotional level detachment.

Make your daily routine more positive and when you go to sleep at night and when you get up in the morning, spend some time thinking about good things that happened to you in previous day and the things that you will be doing today. There are always some good things that are happening to you, try to get over bad things by thinking about the little good things. Plan your day the night before. Write down some goals that you want to achieve and things that you need to do. Refer to this list throughout the day.Every day in the beginning of the day give some time to positive thinking. Make a motivational session in which you tell yourself how good the day will be for you and make sure to do something interesting of your choice.

Examples of these stress-related triggers are the following: school, work, social such as with attending gatherings and public speaking, relationship, financial, emotional distress and trauma among others. To overcome anxiety, you have to manage your stress. Some may even determine that the do not have any anxiety, but closer examination of oneself may conclude there is a serious condition that is present that needs to be addressed.

Don't waste your life thinking that it is enough if you just live to survive and don't do anything else with your life. Because it is not enough. You can truly be happy only when you constantly evolve and use your abilities to create something for yourself and others.Conclusion.Stop comparing yourself to others and understand that you were born perfect and there is simply nothing more to perfect. You just need to make your mind see that. It is the ignorant world trying to convince us that we are not worth anything if we do not have shiny careers, houses, cars and high social status.

Exercise on regular basis and keep your body healthy. The approach is a good method to stay away from the anxiety and the fears that you might have. Exercise releases natural chemicals in our body that make us feel good. Your appearance will improve as will your energy levels making you feel great.Always try to find the reasons to smile. There are many ways of keeping yourself entertained and you should defiantly try to do this in order to make yourself get rid of anxiety.Try to memorize the happy incidents that have occurred in your life, think about the people who make you laugh and are most important to you.
