Anxiety and depression, it affects many people I know this because am one of these people. I myself am on anxiety medicine for this; I have something called anxiety attacks. It is no picnic at all!
I have tried many anxiety self help methods and some have worked, for example, there is the wearing of a rubber band on your wrist and snapping it when you feel anxiety occur. It works most of the time but sometimes you need more.
I have one particular anxiety symptom, which always lets me know when I will have an attack that is an intense pressure in my head. Sounds funny, but that is my warning to take my anxiety medication.
My doctor has diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorder, which affects many people in this world. Most of them don't even know they have it; they just have the symptoms but think they are going crazy!
Treating anxiety is an ongoing process. It can take years to recover, if you ever do. There are many different types of anxiety disorders, one of which is anxiety social, this is where you feel you can't be around people. It causes you to tremble with fear and makes your heart race. These are a few of the symptoms.
My one plea to you dear readers is that if you have anxiety problems please contact your doctor. No you are not nuts! You need a doctor's help to deal with it. I have learned this the hard way. Be safe dear readers.
