Anxiety Therapy

What causes an anxiety disorder to develop, and how can I control it without the use of prescription drugs?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:50:59 +0000

I’ve had an anxiety disorder for as long as I can remember. But it is gradually getting worse, to the point where the simplest things will cause me to have a panic attack. It’s taking over my life. Every therapist I’ve ever tried seeing has always just given me prescription after prescription. I want to know if any of you have this problem- if so, how do you deal with it? How do you calm yourself down? How do you cope with it?

Ive had an anxiety disorder for a while as well, and I deal with it without prescription drugs. Basically, to deal with my panic attacks and general anxiety I will do one of 3 things.

1. If possible, I will take some time to sit alone and meditate, it really helps to clear your mind. I cannot suggest this technique more – it takes a while to get to the point where you can meditate easily, but it works better than any medication I’ve ever taken. 2. Write/Talk out my fears at that time. I will write down or say out loud what is causing my anxiety, and the more I read or say them, the stupider they seem. 3. Talk to someone about it. In the past I used to talk to my therapist about my issues, and it did really help, but now that I don’t have health insurance, I talk to my girlfriend about it, and it really helps me out.

I hope these techniques can help you, they really help me. I really dislike prescriptions and medications in general, I believe they cause more problems than they fix.

Often anxiety disorders come on or become exacerbated with alcohol or substance abuse. However, this isn’t always the case as evidenced by the fact many children suffer from anxiety disorders. Old or young, whatever race, color or creed, anxiety disorders play no favorites. They can strike anyone.

Anxiety is a term that covers much territory. It is used to describe fears and phobias. However, to the sufferer of anxiety, the worst part is, it is so bewildering.

The sufferer has become overly sensitive to any sort of stimuli and the first step to being cured is for the sufferer to realize this. He must realize that there’s nothing insurmountable and that every horrible manifestation of the whole illness is caused by too much adrenaline.

The cure takes a certain amount of time, but a good once a good understanding of what has been happening is realized, this feeling will inevitably follow. The sufferer has to take heart and realize that he/she has found the cure once he/she realizes that fearing the havoc adrenaline has been causing in his or her body feeds anxiety.

anyone on 5htp – does it work for depression and anxiety?

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:34:29 +0000

Also, does it interfere with the implanon contraceptive implant? My doctor doesn’t know about the interference between the two but recommended it as an alternative to ssri antidepressants.

If anyone has had experience with 5htp please let me know if it worked, any side effects, whether it helped anxiety as well as depression, etc.
Thanks! Ruth.

Ps for people who are suggesting SSRIs, I’m trying to find alternatives to these – 5htp is a natural plant hormone which can help to increase levels of serotonin in the brain. It has very few side effects compared to SSRIs such as fluoxetine, hence the doctor recommending it to me. Thanks for your responses.

I know a couple guys that swear by 5htp for both anxiety and depression. It works much like the SSRI’s with antipsychotic or anxiotic action.

I have no clue about contraceptive interaction.

The SSRI’ s tended to conk out on me after a while. I have been on Effexor for about 9 years and it works well for me, it is an SNRI (serotonin-norepinephrine).

What would cause a beautiful, successful confident woman to have bad anxiety attacks?

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:57:12 +0000

What would cause a beautiful, successful, confident woman to suddenly have bad anxiety to the point where she has bad panic attacks, fear of crowds and needs to seek a therapist?
@ Bananas

Thanks. But I’m not talking about myself. I’m talking about someone I care about.

We can’t always know what’s happening in other people’s lives that would cause them to have mental health issues.

The human brain is incredibly complex. There may be a number of factors at play in your friend’s life.

1) She may have a genetically-inherited predisposition, whereby her responses to work or other stressful conditions manifest outwardly in this way.
2) She may have a chemical imbalance – possibly from overwork, stress, diet, or substance intake – which is showing up as anxiety.
3) She may have depression, which can manifest as anxiety.

Whatever the reason, it’s important to remember that beautiful, successful women are not immune from the pressures of daily life. In fact, the opposite may be true.

We live in a day and age where expectations upon young people are far beyond reasonable. It’s an era of instant gratification, transient acquaintances, and material goals. The pressure on all of us to fit into this constantly-evolving society is greater than ever before.

Family structure and stable societal values are no longer the safety net they once were. Mentors are now few and far between.

Gently suggest to your friend that she should see a doctor or therapist. Don’t alienate her by being pushy because people with anxiety are prone to be ultra-sensitive to anything they perceive to be criticism or advice.

Whatever the problem, anxiety is usually the "canary in the coal-mine’. It is a signal that there are deeper, more complex issues beneath the surface. But don’t be too worried – these are very common symptoms nowadays.

Anxiety, agoraphobia, depression, and their associated stress-initiated conditions are treatable and, often, curable.

i gave up smoking last year but my anxiety has got worse if i start smoking again will it get better?

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 06:54:08 +0000

i have been suffering with anxiety for nearly 2 years and im 21. i wasn’t to sure what was causing my anxiety so i gave up smoking to see if it was that, i have been smoke free for a year now but my anxiety seems to have got worse since i gave up. would smoking again help my anxiety?

Unfortunately, yes, that’s probably the main reason people smoke. I agree that you should try other options first since smoking is unhealthy. If they don’t work out for you, you might consider doing what I did and using the Commit nicotine lozenges, they have the calming effect of nicotine but they don’t damage your lungs. I was in the same boat as you and that’s what I did, it’s worked very well for me.
