Escaping the Anxiety/Burnout/Depression Cycle

I’m currently working with a couple of clients who all get stuck in this pattern of anxiety, and then they try to keep super busy to avoid feeling anxious, and then they burn out and end up depressed. I’ve seen this pattern in my family and in a lot of my clients, so from what I can tell it’s a pretty common way that anxiety turns into depression. In this video, you’re going to learn how to identify and replace this pattern with a more helpful, sustainable approach. So let’s take a look at each of those stages. — Thanks BetterHelp for sponsoring the video: Looking for Affordable Online Counseling?

These 5 Anxiety Symptoms Often Go Unnoticed

5 Signs Of Anxiety That Often Go Unnoticed 🔷🔷🔷 Anxiety is one of the biggest problems in modern society, and it’s estimated that most of the population suffers one or more symptoms related to it. However, in addition to the most common symptoms (tachycardia, sweating, chest pressure), there are other signs that we don’t register as being physical manifestations of a deeper problem. Here we show you the 5 symptoms of anxiety that we usually ignore.📌 Bookmark Article: http://www.cleverly.me/five-anxiety-symptoms 📌 Save on Pinterest: https://bit.ly/2w9kiNM➡️ Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe for more DIY crafts & projects, genius life hacks, clever tips & tricks, valuable health hacks, and fun facts: https://www.youtube.com/cleverly_diy?sub_confirmation=1***********************************************************************1. Metallic Flavor in the MouthPeople with anxiety detect bitter and salty flavors at a stronger level. And because anxiety causes bacteria to grow more rapidly, the result is mild bleeding of the gums. While not noticeable to the naked eye, the metallic flavor is unmistakable.2. Excessive YawningAccording to a British study, cortisol—also known as the stress hormone—increases when we are anxious. Cortisol raises the body’s temperature and yawning is a way for the body to cool itself down.3. Cold FeetWhen a human being senses danger, blood flow becomes concentrated in the heart and stomach. As a result, extremities—such as the feet—receive less blood and therefore become cold.4. NightmaresDreams can be manifestations of what’s going on in our subconscious. With anxiety, it can happen that we have more nightmares than usual. In that case, it’s necessary to pay attention.5. Mental FogAnxiety can also cause concentration problems. This is why it’s often referred to as “mental fog” or “brain fog,” because thoughts don’t seem real. Many things are happening in the mind at the same time, and so the person is not able to focus on just one thing.******************************************************Do you want to see more content like this?

What It’s Like To Live With Chronic Anxiety

Writer and journalist Sarah Wilson knows anxiety. She was 12 when she was first diagnosed with childhood anxiety. In the more than three decades since, she has been diagnosed with insomnia, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, hypomania, and bipolar disorder. All of which, as she writes in her memoir about her journey through anxiety, First, We Make The Beast Beautiful, are “just different flavors” of the same thing.Anxiety is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States, affecting about 18% of the population each year. Wilson shares with the Cut in the video above how the condition has profoundly affected her life, and how she has managed to make it, as she says, “beautiful.”Buy FIRST, WE MAKE THE BEAST BEAUTIFUL here: https://www.amazon.com/First-We-Make-Beast-Beautiful/dp/0062836781/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544111959&sr=8-1&keywords=first+we+make+the+beast+beautiful+book

The Connection Between Anxiety and Stomach Problems

There’s a bidirectional relationship between gastrointestinal disorders and anxiety. This relationship is thought to be controlled by a gut-brain connection. Research studies have concluded that there is signaling between the gut and the brain that affects the way we think and behave.So what does this mean? It means that having a disorder like GERD or Irritable Bowel Syndrome and perhaps even colitis can cause anxiety as well as depression.Why does this matter? It matters with how you handle the anxiety. The usual medication treatment for anxiety is serotonin enhancing antidepressants like Prozac or Zoloft. But one of the main side effects of those drugs is gastrointestinal distress like nausea, diarrhea or constipation. So they can make your gastrointestinal illness worse. It may not, some people with GERD who take acid reducing medication can do okay with one of these antidepressants. But not all do.So knowing that the anxiety medication can worsen your symptoms, an alternative approach may be to focus on getting the optimal treatment for your gastrointestinal symptoms first and then using cognitive behavioral strategies to address your anxiety.The microbiome is the trillions of microorganisms, called microbes that inhabit your body. The microbes include bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses and most of them live in your small and large intestines.There are some preliminary studies suggesting that probiotics that contain certain bacteria like lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium could help treat mental disorders. But the research into this intervention is still in the early stages and we are not able to say take this much probiotic to treat this disorder.Healthy food produces good microbes. A good place to start with building a healthy microbiome is eliminating sugar and processed food and eating a clean diet. This would be food that reduces inflammation.Download the guide https://Markspsychiatry.com/stomach-and-anxietyThe take home – if you have gastrointestinal problems like GERD or Irritable Bowel Syndrome – these illness can cause anxiety. So make sure you prioritize having the gastrointestinal problem treated – don’t ignore it thinking it’s probably just stress. Because ignoring it could then trigger a bigger problem of anxiety for you. Also, you want to take a serious look at your diet. It could make it big difference with how you feel without the need for taking another medication to get rid of your anxiety.Want to know more about mental health and self-improvement?
