Anxiety

[Spooky Shortie's iconSpooky Shortie]

Anxiety, much like depression, is something we all go through at least once in our lives, some of us more so. I know I suffer from anxiety, and it makes it difficult for me to do certain things.

Do you suffer from anxiety? What do you find helps you?

No I am not or have suffered from it. But yesterday when I was talking to my daughter she said that she is suffering from it. In exams she says, everything black out and due to it she could not perform better. I don't know if it's anxiety exam fobia.

Yeah, I’ve had bouts of anxiety before. Breathing exercises and just going for a walk along the street usually help me calm down a bit especially when it gets rough.

About every day I do. I hate anxiety. I mostly have social anxiety though, but have anxiety for just about anything. I struggle mostly around people, or large groups of people.

Doctors would always suggest I had social phobia until I got a proper diagnosis of complex PTSD.

I don’t stress myself whenever I am anxious about anything because I know that it goes away with time. I just need to give it some time and it will go away by itself. The moment you understand what helps you get over your anxiety the better you will be equipped to deal with them.
You will always get anxious, that’s a fact. So you should always know how to let go of when it happens.

I suffer from both but more so depression. I have really bad PTSD at night.

I'm experiencing this a lot and from some time it has become harder for me to manage my anxiety levels. I have heard Yoga and meditation can help us manage it well.

@Ginger I am sorry to know about your anxiety. Yoga and meditation definitely will help you get destressed. I hope you may have started doing them. There are lots of videos on YouTube, which you can watch and learn from. Hope you may be helped through them.

I haven't started as yet but seems like I need to start soon as it'll only gonna help me stay relaxed and have a good mindset. Anxiety and depression are so bad for our mental health that we need to do something about it.

@Ginger I know it because my daughter is battling with it. She is in 12th standard and is stressed out with the studies. She is preparing for JEE, but maybe because of high pressure, she is feeling depressed and anxious, for which she is on medication and is feeling better than she was a month ago when she was to be hospitalized because of anxiety.
