Anxiety and you Help by Cher

I am hoping to help anyone out there with Anxiety/Panic/Depression, through my own experiences. I want you to know that you can help yourself, you can overcome, you can feel better.
Firstly I would like to mention that I have had this affliction for over 12 years now and I am able to function on a daily basis. I do still have anxiety/panic/depression, but with medication and some helpful tips I have been able to live a decent daily live where at first I was suffering. I spent 2 years not able to leave my home. I spent approximately 6 years only able to go certain places and with someone at my side. I am now working and taking care of my family in a somewhat normal state.

Now I would like you to know that I was able to do this by seeing the doctors, taking their advise and taking the medication prescribed to me. It took a couple of years for the doctors and myself to find a medication that worked for me and that I could tollerate. You too can do this. I slowly taught myself to leave the house, a little bit at a time. This is called (baby steps) , you don't have to take on too much at once. I found that everyday if I did something new that I couldn't do before the panic and anxiety got better.

Exercise and eating right are the key. Exercise does not have to be vigorous at first . Just take a short walk. Or if you are house bound, go out and walk around the yard or just simply get up off the couch , or out of your bed and move around. Make a concious effor to try everyday, a little more , and more the next day. Eating right means, no junk food, don't eat foods that are fatty, lots of fruits and veggies and leave the chips and snacks out of the picture. I know easier said then done, I know because i slip alot with this one, but eating those foods does alot to your brain chemistry , keeping you depressed and then full of Anxiety.

I am not going to go on too much now, as I know it's hard to read alot of information, with our panic minds as I call them, I emplore you to just try, you will see things will slowly get better, it is a process , but it can be done!

Have a Panic Free day!

Anxiety Help-Symptoms of an Attack by Cher

Anxiety Help-Symptoms of an Attack By Cher

Anxiety Help-Symptoms of an AttackIf you an adult, sometimes kids have them as well, but as an adult I think we all know what a bit of Anxiety feels like.

Usually we get shaky, breathe shallowly, and for most people it passes quickly. For people like us who's anxiety attacks do not pass quickly we have a whole gamut of symptoms that we go through such as:Your cardiovascular system leaps into action.Your heart beats hard and fast to pump blood 5X's the normal rateBlood rushes to the outer extremities in the muscles to enable sufficient strength for fight or flight.Blood is constricted in other less essential areas like the surface of your skin (you end up looking quite pale as a result).

Blood vessels in the kidneys and digestive system also constrict and your mouth becomes dry as a result.To lighten the load your bladder or bowels may open up--hence irritable bowel and/or upset stomach, usually a feeling that you have to poo , and right now!

Sweat glands open up to cool your body down.Your respiratory system acts up,Your lungs and nostrils open up and your breath speeds up. This allows more air so more blood can be oxygenated, delivering more blood to the muscles.

This also gives you the ability to scream loudly!Also:Endorphins are released providing a natural pain reliever (sore joints won't limit your strength or speed).Our senses sharpen and our pupils dilate. We can even see better in the dark.Energy is metabolized. Fat is broken down from the cells and glucose from the liver creates a ready source of energy.

Your higher brain gets slowed, makes it hard to thinkYour thinking becomes intensely focused on identifying the source of danger even if it is not readily known. Any clue from past experiences is called up from the deep files in the far recesses of the brain.You are more reactive and spontaneous.

This is not a time for reflection.

Anxiety attack symptoms are provoked by our fight or flight response!In conclusion, for most of us it feels like a heart attack, or in extreme cases it we feel out of our body's, and a feeling of not being here happens. We can also think we are dying.You are not dying, you can work through these attacks and the more your practice the better and easier it gets.

There are some other tips to getting through an anxiety attack, just look at my past blogs.Try to reduce stress, knock out caffeine, and relax as much as possible. Every step helps.

I hope you all have a calm day!
