Every person deals with Anxiety at one time or another, because it’s part of our brain’s response to a perceived danger — even if that danger isn’t real. Anxiety may always be a part of your life, but it shouldn’t overtake your day-to-day.
Signs of an anxiety.
These are some of the more common mental and physical symptoms of anxiety viz feelings of danger, panic, or dread, nervousness or restlessness, rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling or chills, tiredness or weakness, gastrointestinal problems, difficulty focusing hyperventilation.
Strategies for coping with anxiety
If anxiety is a regular part of your life, it’s important to find treatment strategies to help you keep it in check. It might be a combination of things, like talk therapy and meditation, or it might just be a matter of cutting out or resolving your anxiety trigger.
If you’re not sure where to start, it’s always helpful to discuss options with a mental health professional who might suggest something you hadn’t thought of before.
Identify and learn to manage your triggers
You can identify triggers on your own or with a therapist. Sometimes they can be obvious, like caffeine, drinking alcohol, or smoking. Other times they can be less obvious, such as financial or work-related situations, side effects of certain medication, straumaphobias, such as agoraphobia (fear of crowded or open spaces) and claustrophobia (fear of small spaces), some chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, or asthma, chronic pain or having another mental illness such as depression.
When you do figure out your trigger, you should try to limit your exposure if you can. If you can’t limit it — like if it’s due to a stressful work environment that you can’t currently change — using other coping techniques may help.
Adopt cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT helps people learn different ways of thinking about and reacting to anxiety-causing situations. A therapist can help you develop ways to change negative thought patterns and behaviors before they spiral.
Do a daily or routine meditation
While this takes some practice to do successfully, mindful meditation, when done regularly, can eventually help you train your brain to dismiss anxious thoughts when they arise.
If sitting still and concentrating is difficult, try starting with yoga.
Try supplements or change your diet
Research shows certain supplements or nutrients can help anxiety reduction, which include lemon balmomega-3 fatty acids, ashwagandh, a green tea, valerian root etc.
However, it can take up to three months before your body is actually running on the nutrition these herbs and foods provide.
