THE STRESS OF MOVING-ANXIETY HELP BY CHER

ANXIETY HELP BY CHER-MOVING AND STRESS

Moving from one home to another can be a time of stress for anyone. Even the best of us, who are organized, methodical and just plain got it all together will be stressed by a move.
I am speaking first hand, as I have recently moved. The biggest stress was finding a place to move to. Whether you are renting are looking for a new house to buy its a difficult time. It's hard to find a place that fits into your budget and does what every home needs to....fits your needs.
Then comes the packing, the actual moving and the unpacking. This all takes time, and takes a toll on a persons stress level.

A few things to keep in mind when going through a move are :
Remember, that your friends can be your biggest source of help at a time like this. Good friends will either help you pack, move , unpack or just be there for you when you need to relax, or talk.

When you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed, sit down, take a break , and do one thing at a time.

Packing up one room then the next is a good way to keep from being overwhelmed. Once in a room work on that one until it is done, then move onto the next.

If you have kids, depending on their age of course, get them to pack their own things, and it will give them a feeling of being involved and take some weight off of your shoulders. Also get them to unpack their rooms, as they all love to find a place to put their precious things.

Lastly, remember to breath, deep breathing breaks throughout the day will help you relax and be more able to cope with all of it!


A Move can be rough, but handling with ease can be done!

Anxiety Help-The Anxiety/Panic Attack

Anxiety Help-The Anxiety/Panic Attack

To all my readers and fellow Anxiety Suffers.........I had a horrible panic attack the other day and I am still suffering the after effects of it 3 days later. Now I'm sure that you all know exactly what I am talking about, but what I'm here to tell you is that I am still here I am still kicking and I got through it.
Stress can be a great contributor to anxiety/panic attacks and that is just what is happening to me.
I had allot of things come my way all at once, and I had a hard time dealing with it all.

What I did do though, was go through some of the tips I have posted here already.

I concentrated on my deep breathing. Holding in for as long as possible without passing out, as when we shallow breathe we need more carbon dioxide, not more oxygen. It is a great misnomer that when you hyperventilate that it's oxygen you are deprived of , when its not.

Do you ever remember a parent or loved one, or even on t.v. seeing someone upset and breathing into a paper bag, .....well that's the same concept.
You are re-breathing the carbon dioxide, helping you to calm down.

I also have sat quietly, and tried to focus on being well, a form of meditation, what ever works for you is the best way to go.

For now I am just going over tips I have already left in my postings, I just wanted you all to know, you are not alone in this, many many people suffer from the same thing, and you can get through it, you can march past it, it just takes some time and focus.

We Can Beat The Attack!

Anxiety Help-Aroma Therapy

Anxiety Help-Aroma Therapy

Here's one for the books.

The smell of vanilla in your home, or during an anxiety attack can greatly reduce the attack or the chances of having one!

There was actually a study done, and 63 percent of the people who were breathing the air with the vanilla scent had less anxiety than those who were not.

When you make your coffee in the morning, and I hope its Decaf, or you have cut back, add a drop or two of vanilla to the pot before the coffee brews, it will fill your kitchen with this wonderful scent. Or simply light vanilla scented candles and put them around your house.

Adding vanilla scented oil to your bathwater, is a great way to relax and loose the stress of the day.

Try it, it works!

Anxiety Help-Focus

An anxiety attack, or panic attack is never a nice thing to go through. People have used different methods for many years. Some breathe deeply into paper bags, some focus on something and try to calm their breathing down, and others have mantras (things they say over and over again) to help calm them. There are many others as well, but most deal with deep breathing of one sort or another.
All of these methods could work, and probably do. It depends on the individual and what works best for you.
I have found that many things happen to me, when having a panic attack and most of the time I can stop it before it gets to bad. Usually I feel like I can't breathe, start to get dizzy and then comes the feeling of disassociation(or not being here). It literally feels like you are dying.
The trick, is to train yourself to use a method and practice it, then when the attack comes it will work as a second nature, and your attack will calm down faster and faster.
I have used the mantra and the deep breathing, sometimes one works best and sometimes the other, it depends on the situation.
The main thing is that it works.

Try one, then practice it, and when you have an attack you may find that it works. Maybe not right away, but with some time, it will work quicker.

Today will be a good day!

Anxiety Help-SOME TIPS

SOME TIPS (ANXIETY HELP)

Anxiety is a difficult thing to overcome, but you can do it. I will say that the very first thing you should do if you suffer from any anxiety/panic attacks that are very strong, or bothersome to you..........QUIT CAFFEINE!

Yeah, that sounds to any coffee drinkers out there like I just asked you to cut off your nose , but I will tell you that excess caffeine in the system is the first contributor to anxiety/panic attacks.

Stress is a hard thing to manage and caffeine, though we think is helping us get through the day, is only adding to our stress. In small amounts its alright, but if you do suffer from many anxiety/panic attacks, its better that you don't drink any. Remember that this includes dark sodas as well.

Next, if you are inactive, you should get some form of exercise everyday. Now I know the majority of us say things like "I walk all day at my job", "I'm always on my feet" etc. We all have reasons for not exercising, but this only adds to the problem.
Walk briskly at least once a day, if you need to start off slow do so, but try to be active in some form or another. This will slowly but surely help to reduce anxiety, stress and panic attacks.

Hope your day is a good one!

ANXIETY HELP-KNOWLEDGE

ANXIETY HELP KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is the key when dealing with an anxiety or panic disorder. The more you know about what affects the illness can have on the body, the better you will start to realize what your body is telling you. For example, you are having an anxiety attack. You start to get dizzy, your breathing gets more rapid and soon you feel like you are going to pass out. If you already know that because of the anxiety attack you are not breathing properly that is hyperventilating, you will know what to do to stop it from happening.

If you know that, when you have an anxiety/panic attack, that your body produces a large amount of adrenaline, which in turn causes all sorts of feelings in your body, including dizziness, hyperventilation and a feeling of not being here, then you will know what to do to calm it all down. I will get into techniques in my next blog, but I want you to research as much as you can about the affects of the anxiety/panic attack on the body if you can, if not, I will mention more soon.

First thing you have to do, especially if you are having one now , is recognize that you are having one, and know that it can't really hurt you. Just sit down and breathe deeply.
We can overcome this together!
