Outline Anxiety symptoms can be defined as an emotional state which arises that is essentially fear based.
This will often consist of fear and worry which is often exaggerated or imagined and even illogical.
The initial experience is mentally and or emotionally based.
Added to this some people may even experience physical signs such as nausea or chest pains.
Anxiety is a complex condition, and is composed of a number of different elements.
Some of these elements are somatic or cognitive, and the body will be reactive as if to prepare itself to deal with some sort of external threat, the so called fight or flight syndrome.
Anxiety is a normal component of life.
It is a feeling of unease or tension at the moment of a new or challenging moment in our daily routine.
But this can serve to sharpen our readiness and even better our effort and performance as is the case with sports competitors for example.
But a balance is important,and when the duration is too long and the intensity is too great so that performance is affected that this needs to be addressed.
The sooner the better.
All it might take is the personal affirmation to take courage.
You would be surprised at how close this possibility is and that anxiety treatments are there close by Symptoms Anxiety persons are acutely aware of themselves and often continually monitor their actions in a state of high vigilance.
They compare themselves to others and this makes the situation more acute, as to question as to why they just can't be normal.
They also have complex questions and emotions around wanting to get back to " my old self ".
If these states persist then this can make them feel of low self worth and very lonely.
In order to overcome this, or feel more normal or accepted, they play out a role of appearing to be normal and acting in normal ways.
This is very exhausting and just makes things worse.
This can lead to despondency and suicide tendencies.
So you see that the whole thing is a series of chained events which can form feedback loops which can reinforce themselves and become obsessive.
Being obsessive they can become magnified and literally unstoppable or out of control so to speak.
Personal mindfulness and a courageous intention to tackle the problem can break the chain or loop.
Anxiety itself cannot harm you, only neglect to deal with it can.
Neglect can kill you.
To cut into a part of the chain or loop at any point is critical and can result in a big turnaround Physical Acute anxiety raises the chance of developing a cardiac condition and or an eventual fatal heart attack.
