8 Struggles People With Anxiety Can Relate To

 (pleasant comforting music) – [Amanda] Hey there psych2-goers and welcome back to our channel. We wanted to let you know that your ongoing support helps us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. So thank you all so much for the love that you’ve given us. Before we begin, we wanted to remind you that this video is meant for informative purposes only and is not meant to be a diagnostic tool for mental illness. Please reach out to a mental health professional or your doctor if you think you might be struggling with anxiety. With that said, let’s begin. Anxiety seems to be so mainstream these days and people are feeling more stressed out than ever. However, there is a difference between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder. Feelings of nervousness or restlessness will go away but people with anxiety disorders get no such break from their symptoms. This can change the way you communicate, behave, and even think. In today’s video, we will be talking about eight struggles that people with anxiety can relate to. Number one, you fret and worry over small decision choices. Do you freeze with indecision when thinking about what you want for lunch? It usually shouldn’t matter that much but when your brain is moving at a mile a minute, it’s not hard to invent a hypothetical situation where this choice could mean life or death. There are so many what-ifs to consider and the anxious brain wants to examine them all. It’s important to remember why your mind stays stuck on something, it’s trying to protect you. The what-ifs are all meant to prepare your brain to deal with real situations, should they arise. Be kind to yourself when making a decision doesn’t come easily to you. It’s not for nothing, even if it is disruptive or frustrating. Two, which comes first, anxiety or sleep disruption? If you find it difficult to get a good night’s sleep with an anxious brain, you’re not alone. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, stress and anxiety are closely related to and often coincide with sleep disorders. These can range from nightmares or restlessness to more complex conditions such as bruxism, where you grind your teeth while you sleep, or narcolepsy which causes you to spontaneously fall asleep. It can be hard to tell whether sleep troubles or anxious thoughts are the root of the problem. Anxiety can cause a lack of sleep just as easily as a lack of sleep can make you feel anxious. Number three, the worst-case scenarios always seem more likely than they are. When you’ve been dealing with your anxiety for a long time, your brain gets used to being on the alert for danger, even when none is present. This is why it’s easy to ruminate on negative or intrusive thoughts. Jumping passed the more likely outcomes to a worst-case scenario becomes automatic. Everyday occurrences send your nervous system spinning when you’ve become so good at searching for anything that might go wrong. We offer a challenge to any anxious psych2-goers out there; if you notice yourself imagining a disastrous outcome or event, see if you can come up with one other scenario that may occur instead. Is one more likely than the other to take place? Number four, you have no clue if others can sense your anxiety. Do you worry about whether or not other people can tell when you’re feeling anxious? And then are you doubly worried about how someone will react if they do find out you’re having a panic attack? Since no people experience anxiety the same way nor are any two situations the same, there’s no real way to tell unless you tell someone that you’re not feeling well. If anything, your anxiety is not as noticeable as you fear it to be. There are so many other restless, sweaty, awkward people in the world and everyone else is probably too worried about themselves that they’re less likely to notice if you look a little flushed or act a little odd. Five, you can worry yourself sick. Have you ever been so stressed and worried that you felt like you might throw up or pass out? When you suffer from anxiety, these severe reactions become normal which can put immense stress on your body over time. Mayo Clinic states that symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, and gastrointestinal issues are common expressions of anxiety. Dealing with these over a long period can lead to complications such as irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic disruptions in the nervous system.  Six, self-doubt slows you down socially. Do you long to be out and about with your friends but your anxiety and doubt convince you to stay home instead? Socializing can be incredibly stressful for someone with anxiety, especially if you have social anxiety disorder which is specific to public or group settings. Between physical symptoms and a racing mind, keeping up a conversation with your friends can be tricky. Your brain interrupts with intrusive thoughts and questions and you wonder if you’re doing it right. If you notice that you’re worrying about whether your anxiety makes you come across as awkward or quiet, that’s okay. It’s good to be aware of your effect on others but make sure you’re trying your best to be genuine and be you. Living in today’s society is a lot of pressure already, so there’s no need to double down on yourself. Seven, you find it hard to stay focused, you find it hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you have to reread a page in a book a couple of times over before you finally comprehend what you’re reading. Recent BBC research cites a 2011 study from the University of Notre Dame, which confirms that the brain is designed to hold only so much information at once. If you’re taking up that space with tons of what-ifs and worries, there won’t be much room left for anything else. Changing your thought patterns won’t happen overnight but it’s certainly possible. It will likely take some trial and error to find what works for you but practicing mindfulness, getting exercise, and avoiding multitasking are a few good places to start. And number eight, yeah, you can have anxiety about your anxiety. Have you ever heard of agoraphobia? The UK National Health Service defines agoraphobia as a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or that help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong. Most people who suffer from this condition practice avoidance. Some might refuse to take public transportation or be in crowded or open spaces, while others may not leave their house at all. Avoidance aims to protect you from danger, panic, and even embarrassment. Did you relate to any of these scenarios? Tell us about it in the comments below. Anxiety is tough but so are you.

Often, treatment consists of medications used to reduce anxiety, but these medications don’t work for everyone. Many people are too afraid to explore the real reason why they have anxiety or they’re too embarrassed to seek medical attention. Instead, they suffer for years struggling to learn how to cope with this condition, alone.

5 Differences Between Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Anxiety

 [Music] hi everyone we it’s like to go would love to thank you for making us a digital family of more than 2 million it’s with your continued support that we’re able to bring you new content regularly our mission is to help everyone become more self aware of the various psychological factors that affect our lives one such factor that we hear about on a daily basis is anxiety but it’s important to know when it’s anxiety only and wanted to become something more so let’s find out anxiety in general is our normal reaction to stress in fact it can be a good thing anxiety motivates you to accomplish your assignments to study harder for a test and it can warn you when you’re in a dangerous situation it informs you to be extra vigilant about your environment the fight or flee generalized anxiety disorder or GED on the other hand is a full-fledged anxiety disorder that involves intense and excessive anxiety as a key factor along with other debilitating symptoms differentiating between normal anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder or di D can be tricky how do you know especially if you’re a little more anxious than others whether or not your anxiety is significant enough to qualify as a disorder so let’s begin with an introduction to the main concepts revolving around the – one normal anxiety is more of a friend than a foe according to the anxiety and depression Association of America anxiety is a normal and often healthy emotion which is characterized by feelings of tension worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure when we face potentially harmful or worrying triggers feelings of anxiety are not only normal but necessary for survival since the earliest days the approach of predators an incoming danger set off alarms in the body and allowed evasive action these alarms were in the form of a raised heartbeat sledding and increased sensitivity to surroundings danger causes a rush of adrenaline a hormone in the brain which in turn triggers the anxious reactions in a process called the fight-or-flight response this prepares humans to physically confront or flee any potential threats to sea all these are classic characteristics of normal anxiety such traits came in handy for our predecessors but we don’t have to be in a constant state of fight-or-flight anymore so running from larger animals is a less pressing concern in present times than it would have been for early humans anxieties now revolve around work money family life health and other crucial issues that demand a person’s attention without necessarily requiring the fight-or-flight reaction the nervous feeling before an important life event are during a difficult situation is a natural echo of the original fight-or-flight reaction it can still be essential to survival anxiety about being hit by a car when crossing the street for example means that a person will instinctively look both ways to avoid danger when the duration or severity of an anxious feeling is out of proportion to the original trigger or stressor physical symptoms such as increased blood pressure and nausea may also develop these responses are what moved normal anxiety beyond into gid generalized anxiety disorder GA D is when the trouble starts generalized anxiety disorder involves persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities people with symptoms of GA D tend to always expect disaster and can stop worrying about health money family work or school in people with GID the worry is often unrealistic or out of proportion from the situation daily life becomes a constant state of worry fear and dread eventually the anxiety so dominates the person’s thinking that it interferes with daily functioning including work school social activities and relationships there are several key differences that make them distinguishable here are a few ways you can tell the two apart one presence of a stressor usually a normal anxiety occurs in response to a stressor such as an exam an upcoming interview a fight with a friend or a new job when you struggle with GID you’re anxious most or almost all of the time even when you can’t spot the source of the stress for instance people a generalized anxiety disorder can have a difficult time just getting through the day even seemingly small responsibilities like paying the bills make them feel anxious – intensity and length gid produces intense and excessive emotional responses even if you’re reacting to a stressor your anxiety is disproportionate to that stressor many people are on the edge before an exam but a person with jad might be anxious several weeks beforehand and will experience intense symptoms right before and during the exam also normal anxiety is fleeting while gid is ongoing and the feelings can last weeks or months three physical symptoms of jad excessive anxiety and wary aren’t the only symptoms that accompany GID there are physical symptoms – dizziness lightheadedness sweating trembling heart pounding headaches and nausea you feel like you can’t breathe can’t talk or have to go to the bathroom frequently people at jad also report feeling detachment and disconnected from reality they feel like they can’t think straight and have difficulty concentrating psychological symptoms are also present individuals experience racing or negative thoughts and are unable to concentrate and have worries about day to day things or impairment when you struggle with GID it affects your entire life it impairs or interferes with your schoolwork job and daily life avoidance is a symptom of jad and can be quite debilitating in other words excessive anxiety can cause you to avoid normal activities you might skip class miss a test stop going to work procrastinate grocery shopping or avoid anything that makes you feel anxious and 5 no control most people can reduce and control their anxiety through a variety of coping techniques and the ability to calm oneself however people at GID have significant difficulty finding relaxation calm and time away from their worries if you have more difficulty than other people you know in controlling your anxiety it may be more than normal anxiety did you often find yourself confused about these two conditions do these factors easier to differentiate between the two do let us know in the comments below if you are

7 Signs of Anxiety Caused by Your Childhood

 Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back! If you’re currently suffering from anxiety. Have you wondered why you have anxiety? Since when have you started to get nervous all the time? In some cases, anxiety can be caused by how you were raised as a child. Your upbringing may have had a significant impact on why you experienced so much anxiety. So here are seven signs of anxiety caused by your upbringing. #1 You are self-critical. Do you pick at your flaws or criticize yourself for no reason? You may be doing it because you have critical parents. When your parents overly focus on your flaws. You may also grow up only focusing on them. According to Iancu, Bodner, and Ben Zion. Self-criticism is highly related to social anxiety disorder. You may end up blaming yourself for things that are out of your control or not your fault. #2 You have low self-esteem. Do your parents always compare you to others? Does it make you feel inadequate? Growing up in an environment where you’re constantly compared to others can harm your self-esteem. You may feel bad about yourself for failing to meet your parent’s expectations. This low self-esteem can carry on through your life… …because of the constant fear of not being good enough. #3 You think negatively. Did your parents always tell you to prepare for the worst? If they constantly focus on the worst-case scenario. Their behaviors can probably affect your mindset. While it may be normal to recognize the worst-case scenario in each situation. It can eventually lead your mind to focus on only the negative. This form of repetitive and negative thinking can generate a lot of anxiety. #4 You fear being judged. Did your parents seem to have something negative to say about everything and everyone? Having judgmental parents can have a significant impact on you. Conditioned by judgmental parents at an early age. You may struggle with worry and fear of what others think about you. Their emphasis is on the opinion of others instead of on social initiatives and family sociability. This may lead to social anxiety. #5 You are overly cautious. Did your parents tend to constantly check on you when you’re not around them? If you have overprotective parents, there’s a chance that you may be overly cautious. This is because having overprotective parents may condition you at a young age to be wary of everything. It can lead to having a certain worry and fear of things that are unknown to you. Although it can be beneficial to be overly cautious at times. It can also lead to a lot of anxiety. #6 You fear relationships. Do you find yourself scared about forming relationships? This fear may have stemmed from growing up in a separated family. Since you may fear that your current relationships will end up with the same outcome. Having neglectful parents could also cause you to fear relationships… …because it could make you think that your partner will neglect you in the same way. And #7 You doubt yourself. Have you ever said to yourself… What if I’m doing it wrong? Or am I making a mistake? Your parents’ constant criticism of your ability…can result in you developing constant self-doubt as you grow up. This will also cause you to have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorders in childhood. Do you relate to any of these signs? Let us know in the comments below!

6 Signs of Anxiety That Often Go Unnoticed

 – Hey, Psych2Go viewers, Welcome back to our channel. Do you get bouts of anxiety from time to time? This can be normal before a first date or a job interview since these emotions often subside after a while. But if your anxiety is persistent, This can be concerning. Continuing to feel very anxious, even after a date, job interview or speech can indicate something else, an anxiety disorder. Does this sound familiar? If anxiety is something that you deal with, you’re not alone. Approximately 19% of Americans have experienced an anxiety disorder, and about 31% of Americans will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Many of us usually think of sweaty palms and heart palpitations as symptoms of anxiety, but anxiety can manifest itself in other ways too. Most of the other signs go unnoticed. So, what are they? Here are six signs of anxiety that often go unnoticed. Number one, jaw pain. Have you ever noticed jaw pain from anxiety? Anxiety is usually not the first thing you may think of when you experience jaw pain or toothaches. You may usually blame a cavity or another dental problem, but jaw pain and toothaches can also be caused by anxiety. More specifically bruxism. This is when an individual unconsciously and excessively grinds or clenches their teeth. Bruxism is a by-product of stress. When we’re stressed our whole body clenches up in preparation to fight or flight, hence teeth grinding and jaw pain. Studies support this theory, stating that there is a high index of anxiety among bruxers, as opposed to non-bruxers. But anxiety is not the only mental health condition that causes this. People with depression and neuroticism can also experience toothaches as a result of bruxism. The condition is usually self-diagnosed and can be treated. Most teeth-grinding activity happens overnight. So, you may not notice that early on. Morning tooth pain is usually the first clue. If you wake up with jaw pain frequently, consider finding what is causing you stress. It may take some time but always seek help from a licensed professional if necessary. Number two is scattered thinking. Another sign of anxiety, scattered thinking. Anxiety floods, your thoughts with negativity and doubts. Often these thoughts are disruptive, and can easily make you forget your surroundings. You may come off as inattentive. While intrusive thoughts can steal your attention, there’s also another reason why you may feel scatterbrained. Anxiety can have neurological effects as well as physical ones. It affects your limbic system, specifically the prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain is known for executive functioning, but it’s also responsible for social behavior. When you’re anxious, your prefrontal cortex and other structures of your limbic systems are impaired. As a result, you may find that you lose the thread of a conversation or have trouble concentrating on a task. If this is something to deal with often, try to ground yourself in the present. There are many wonderful grounding techniques. The most popular one is box breathing. Wanna try? Okay. Breathe in for four seconds. One, two, three, four. Now hold for four. One, two, three, four. Now exhale for four. One, two, three, four. And then hold again for four. One, two, three, four. Ah! Better? I sped it up a little bit, but try to take your time with it next time. Number three, cold feet. I’m sure you’ve heard the term getting cold feet. There’s a reason this popular idiom describes being nervous. When you’re anxious, perhaps similar to right Before you get married, your body jumps into a fight or flight. This reaction triggers a cascade of neurological and hormonal shifts. One of them is that it tells your brain to release adrenaline. Adrenaline helps you redirect your blood flow so that most of it is sent to your vital organs, like your heart and lungs. Consequently, your extremities start to feel cold. Number four is irritability. Do you easily become irritated? Irritability is a common sign of anxiety. However, it’s a symptom we often overlook or ignore. It’s a sign that you’re overwhelmed with stress. Anxiety is associated with hypersensitivity, meaning that you’ll be much more sensitive to your surroundings, which may cause you to feel more irritated than usual. Number five is impulsive buying. Another sign of anxiety is impulsivity. In this case, impulse buying. However, impulsivity can manifest itself in many ways, such as engaging in risky behavior. Impulsivity because of anxiety can be due to numerous factors. The main one is that your orbital frontal cortex, another branch of your limbic system, is affected. Studies found that anxiety increases the blood flow to that region, which consequently, increases activity. An increase in activity can lead to either impulse control issues, hoarding, or impulse spending. Additionally, anxiety affects your prefrontal cortex and makes it harder for you to make wise and thoughtful decisions. Impulse buying, as well as hoarding, are also forms of self-soothing. They provide a false sense of comfort and security. If you do find yourself caving in and taking financial risks, please consider reaching out to a therapist for help. And number six, crying easily. When was the last time you cried? One last sign that goes unnoticed is crying easily. Inexplicably bouts of crying can mean you’re overwhelmed by the situation you find yourself in. Not only can it be because of a sensitivity to stress, but it can also be due to your fight or flight response. The correct terminology is fight, flight, or freeze. Feeling stuck or freezing amidst a perceived threat can progress these overwhelming feelings of stress. When you find yourself crying, attempt to relax by taking a deep breath. Then allow yourself to cry. Crying can release all of those feelings you may be holding onto. It may be great to find additional ways to self-soothe when you’re feeling anxious as well. So have you experienced any of these signs? I have. What are some self-soothing behaviors that help you? I enjoy walking. Feel free to let us know in the comments below. Anxiety is quite common and can be manageable. If you ever need help or guidance reaching out to a therapist or mental health professional can be a good idea.

12 Things High Functioning Anxiety Makes you Do

 Do you think you might have anxiety or know someone who does if not What’s the first image you have and you imagine someone with diagnosed anxiety? The popular comical image may have popped into your head with the frazzled jittery expression unkempt hair and profuse sweating the truth is some people go on to be successful and accomplish great things despite their battle against this mental illness This is known as high functioning anxiety isn’t a diagnosable condition And so it can be difficult to identify because those who have it don’t appear anxious However, the calm appearance doesn’t make it any less real serious or painful for those who have it Wondering now if you might fit in with this category Here are 12 things. You may not realize you’re doing this because of your high functioning anxiety 1 you turn down things you want to go to You eagerly await events and get-togethers with friends, but when the day finally comes you often decide not to go at the very last minute sound familiar Even though you were looking forward to it for so long You’ve talked yourself out of attending because the thought of going out leaves you wracked with worry and dread – you dislike having to meet new people When someone says to you, there’ll be so many new people you can network with. How do you feel? Mingling and social functions just aren’t your thing not due to shyness or introversion. You just don’t want to meet new people Sticking to your close-knit group of friends is comfortable and happy for you Introducing yourself or being introduced to someone else makes you feel self-conscious and worried about making a good first impression This worry is so intense that it sucks any enjoyment or intrigue out of meeting Someone new 3 you’re uncomfortable with slow responses The moment you send someone a text or leave them a voice message Do you start counting the seconds waiting for a response and the longer you wait? The more you feel anxious you overthink about why they haven’t replied yet and somehow take it to mean that you did something wrong Take a breath they probably like you just fine and their phone might be on mute For you get very little sleep We hear eight hours of sleep is required Can you remember the last time you got eight hours of sleep? We mean all at once not spread out over a few days You may be able to look at anxiety as the reason it may wake you up early and keep you from having a deep and relaxed sleep and also keep you up at night with thoughts racing through your mind Being shortchanged on both ends is why sleep deprivation is such a common complaint amongst those of us who suffer from high functioning anxiety Five you fixate on the tiniest details Is there any little thing you think about what’s keeping you up at night and depriving you of sleep Like how you said you to to the waiter when they told you to enjoy your meal? Or maybe why that person replied to your long text simply, okay? Logically, you realize this isn’t going to hugely impact your life. The waiter won’t remember you and that other person was probably just busy Still you examine it this fixation is a common feature for people with high-functioning Anxiety you tend to obsess over trivial things Especially social interactions you analyze everything and spend hours and hours wondering what it could all mean and why? Six you get hung up on old conversations Speaking of social interactions. Do you find yourself playing back old social scenarios in your head thinking about different actions? You could have taken or Not Taken Things like maybe I shouldn’t have texted him or maybe I should have given that witty reply High-functioning anxiety makes you overthink every single social interaction You’ve ever had big or small and it’s not unusual for people who struggle with it to get hung up on the past regardless of how long ago it was 7 your unforgiving to yourself Do you feel upset at yourself when you make a mistake? Mulling over it and scolding yourself for months even years Well high functioning anxiety can often resemble perfectionism With one of its most problematic characteristics being that it turns us against ourselves whenever we mess up Your anxiety makes that mistake bigger in your point of view than it was in reality. So getting over it feels difficult Eight you constantly compare yourself to others It’s normal to occasionally compare yourself to others but those with high-functioning anxiety. Take it to an extreme Are you overly concerned with how you measure up against your peers? Do you constantly worry that you’re not fulfilling your full potential? No matter how much you accomplish. Do you never feel like it’s enough? If so, you might be struggling with high-functioning anxiety 9 You’re a constant people pleaser Do you work hard to make others feel happy, even if it comes at the cost of your well-being Do you feel like you’ll never be good enough until you attain it? Everyone’s approval If you have high-functioning anxiety you may have convinced yourself that the only way others will ever accept you is if you go above and beyond what everyone expects of You all the time. 10 You need to keep yourself busy all the time Now we’re not talking about creating great Renaissance artworks or intricate business plans We just mean busy not necessarily productive If you’re not busy you feel Restless and tense. So you try to occupy yourself with just about anything during your nails. Yes Alphabetizing your games. Okay, cleaning your perfectly working computer fan with a toothbrush It’s sure the truth is you don’t mind doing anything as long as it helps distract yourself from your thoughts and worries 11 You get very anxious whenever you think about the future What does the future mean to you for many in the future is the light of possibility something to eagerly look forward to? then for some, it can feel like Scrooge and that last spirit of Christmas who looked like the Grim Reaper if You’re not feeling hope but terror and dread for what’s to come This could be a sign of high-functioning anxiety can paralyze you with fear about the unknown and what’s not in your control it can keep you from truly living your life to the fullest because you always expect the worst to happen and 12 you always focus on the worst-case scenario Do you like to prep my prep? We mean do you say to yourself? Okay, so this is the worst possible outcome I’ll be ready for it. If I’m ready for it. I can handle anything else. Do you then continue to expect the worst-case scenario? They might be high-functioning anxiety laying the plans This might lead people to misjudge you as a pessimist because ultimately you may try to share with them your preparations Where you see anticipating and being proactive they see a downer Unfortunately being so prepared often doesn’t allow you to just enjoy the moment Do you relate to any of the things listed here living with high-functioning anxiety is never easy? But most people may not see the emotional toll it can have on a person if you’re starting to feel overwhelmed with your anxiety There are many professional certified resources to reach out to Please like share and subscribe to the site to go for more psychology content.OIP-73We hope to see you in the next video and as always Thanks so much for watching.As found on YouTubeSeanCooper🗯 The Shyness & Social Guy ⇝ The 3 WORST Mistakes You Must AVOID If You Want To Overcome Shyness (PLUS: 1 weird trick that targets the root biological cause of shyness so you can stop being nervous, awkward, and quiet around people…) By Sean Cooper, The Shyness & Social Anxiety Guy.

5 Differences Between Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Anxiety

 [Music] hi everyone we it’s like to go would love to thank you for making us a digital family of more than 2 million it’s with your continued support that we’re able to bring you new content regularly our mission is to help everyone become more self aware of the various psychological factors that affect our lives one such factor that we hear about on a daily basis is anxiety but it’s important to know when it’s anxiety only and wanted to become something more so let’s find out anxiety in general is our normal reaction to stress in fact it can be a good thing anxiety motivates you to accomplish your assignments to study harder for a test and it can warn you when you’re in a dangerous situation it informs you to be extra vigilant about your environment the fight or flee generalized anxiety disorder or GED on the other hand is a full-fledged anxiety disorder that involves intense and excessive anxiety as a key factor along with other debilitating symptoms differentiating between normal anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder or di D can be tricky how do you know especially if you’re a little more anxious than others whether or not your anxiety is significant enough to qualify as a disorder so let’s begin with an introduction to the main concepts revolving around the – one normal anxiety is more of a friend than a foe according to the anxiety and depression Association of America anxiety is a normal and often healthy emotion which is characterized by feelings of tension worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure when we face potentially harmful or worrying triggers feelings of anxiety are not only normal but necessary for survival since the earliest days the approach of predators an incoming danger set off alarms in the body and allowed evasive action these alarms were in the form of a raised heartbeat sledding and increased sensitivity to surroundings danger causes a rush of adrenaline a hormone in the brain which in turn triggers the anxious reactions in a process called the fight-or-flight response this prepares humans to physically confront or flee any potential threats to sea all these are classic characteristics of normal anxiety such traits came in handy for our predecessors but we don’t have to be in a constant state of fight-or-flight anymore so running from larger animals is a less pressing concern in present times than it would have been for early humans anxieties now revolve around work money family life health and other crucial issues that demand a person’s attention without necessarily requiring the fight-or-flight reaction the nervous feeling before an important life event are during a difficult situation is a natural echo of the original fight-or-flight reaction it can still be essential to survival anxiety about being hit by a car when crossing the street for example means that a person will instinctively look both ways to avoid danger when the duration or severity of an anxious feeling is out of proportion to the original trigger or stressor physical symptoms such as increased blood pressure and nausea may also develop these responses are what moved normal anxiety beyond into gid generalized anxiety disorder GA D is when the trouble starts generalized anxiety disorder involves persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities people with symptoms of GA D tend to always expect disaster and can stop worrying about health money family work or school in people with GID the worry is often unrealistic or out of proportion from the situation daily life becomes a constant state of worry fear and dread eventually the anxiety so dominates the person’s thinking that it interferes with daily functioning including work school social activities and relationships there are several key differences that make them distinguishable here are a few ways you can tell the two apart one presence of a stressor usually a normal anxiety occurs in response to a stressor such as an exam an upcoming interview a fight with a friend or a new job when you struggle with GID you’re anxious most or almost all of the time even when you can’t spot the source of the stress for instance people a generalized anxiety disorder can have a difficult time just getting through the day even seemingly small responsibilities like paying the bills make them feel anxious – intensity and length gid produces intense and excessive emotional responses even if you’re reacting to a stressor your anxiety is disproportionate to that stressor many people are on the edge before an exam but a person with jad might be anxious several weeks beforehand and will experience intense symptoms right before and during the exam also normal anxiety is fleeting while gid is ongoing and the feelings can last weeks or months three physical symptoms of jad excessive anxiety and wary aren’t the only symptoms that accompany GID there are physical symptoms – dizziness lightheadedness sweating trembling heart pounding headaches and nausea you feel like you can’t breathe can’t talk or have to go to the bathroom frequently people at jad also report feeling detachment and disconnected from reality they feel like they can’t think straight and have difficulty concentrating psychological symptoms are also present individuals experience racing or negative thoughts and are unable to concentrate and have worries about day to day things or impairment when you struggle with GID it affects your entire life it impairs or interferes with your schoolwork job and daily life avoidance is a symptom of jad and can be quite debilitating in other words excessive anxiety can cause you to avoid normal activities you might skip class miss a test stop going to work procrastinate grocery shopping or avoid anything that makes you feel anxious and 5 no control most people can reduce and control their anxiety through a variety of coping techniques and the ability to calm oneself however people at GID have significant difficulty finding relaxation calm and time away from their worries if you have more difficulty than other people you know in controlling your anxiety it may be more than normal anxiety did you often find yourself confused about these two conditions do these factors easier to differentiate between the two do let us know in the comments below if you are

6 Physical Symptoms that Might Be Anxiety

 – [Presenter] Have you ever experienced physical symptoms and not known why? It could be that you’re experiencing anxiety without realizing it. So what exactly is anxiety? Experiencing occasional moments of anxiety is normal, such as when facing a problem at work or before taking an exam where you may feel your heart beating rapidly sweaty palms, or have nausea. But these symptoms of nervousness dissolve over time. While you may have experienced these symptoms at some point, anxiety is more than temporary worrying or stress. Worries and stress arise from external triggers such as an upcoming deadline or an argument with a loved one. Anxiety on the other hand is persistent worry in the absence of stressors. The American Psychology The association defines it as an emotion characterized by apprehension and somatic symptoms of tensions in which an individual anticipates impending danger, catastrophe, or misfortune. Aside from its mental symptoms, anxiety also produces a roster of physical symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, and muscle tension. Most people pay more attention to the physical symptoms as they’re easy to identify, and as a result, tend to treat the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. So with that said, here are six symptoms of anxiety that can help you discern if it’s an illness or anxiety. Number one is irritability. Yes, this symptom may seem vague because when you’re unwell, who wouldn’t be a bit irritated? However, if you find yourself getting worked up over the slightest things, that could be a sign of anxiety. Anxiety triggers our fight-flight or freezes response. It also makes you believe that you’re constantly in danger which reduces your tolerance to stress. As your stress tolerance decreases you become more susceptible to snapping at someone.

This encourages your hoops algorithm in promoting more of our mental health content to more people out there. Number two is depersonalization or derealization. Another sign that your physiological symptoms are the result of anxiety and not a sickness is if you experience frequent bouts of derealization or depersonalization. Both symptoms disrupt how you perceive yourself and the world. Derealization is a sensation of being outside of your body and is a frightening thing to experience. One minute you can be walking down the street and suddenly everything feels two-dimensional or unreal. Depersonalization is usually described as an out-of-body experience. Most times you feel like you’re watching and hearing yourself in real-time, but your actions feel distant like you’re not the person doing them and your limbs or body can appear distorted and foreign to you. Reports show that stress and anxiety are the primary causes of derealization and depersonalization because your fight or flight response to stress floods your brain with adrenaline which redirects blood from the brain to the larger muscle groups and core. Because your brain has less blood you may feel more lightheaded, and as a result, you may experience derealization and depersonalization. If this happens to you, it helps to breathe. The adrenaline usually takes two to three minutes to metabolize but you may take 20 minutes to calm down physically and mentally. Number three is phobias and coping mechanisms. Another sign that you’re experiencing anxiety and not a physical illness is if you notice that you’ve developed new and unexplainable phobias.We all have phobias whether they developed during childhood or are the result of a bad experience. Phobias are our brain’s way of trying to keep us from harm. However, some phobias are the results of anxiety and can become obstacles in your daily life. Technically phobias are categorized as anxiety disorders and fall into two groups; specific and complex. Specific phobias usually stem from a bad experience, but complex phobias stem from mental or emotional distress. Specific phobias usually don’t need treatment but complex phobias, like agoraphobia, the fear of being in busy places, and social phobia do. These phobic opioids can make you feel more alone and can also affect your self-esteem. Number four, attacks, trouble breathing. A telltale sign of anxiety is experiencing a panic attack or anxiety attack. Though both terms are used interchangeably, they’re different. A panic attack is a sudden overwhelming surge of emotion such as fear and discomfort. You may feel your chest tighten as your breathing has stopped. You may also feel dizzy or lightheaded. While anxiety attacks have similar symptoms, they’re a bit different as they’re the result of symptoms that have been gradually building up. Number five is gastrointestinal disruptions. Gastrointestinal issues are another sign of anxiety but can also arise independently of your mental health. While anxiety and gastro illnesses are mutually exclusive, there is research supporting the theory that anxiety causes gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and studies have shown the comorbidity between anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome. There’s lots of research that treatment for some gastrointestinal disorders may involve therapy. And number six, physiological strangeness. A final sign that you’re experiencing anxiety is if you feel tingling or numbness usually in your face and limbs, which is the feeling of blood rushing to your extremities as your fight or flight response kicks in. While blood rushes to our extremities, other areas of your body can feel weak. Tingling and numbing can also be caused by hyperventilation which indirectly happens when you’re anxious. Along with the symptoms listed in this article, there are other ways anxiety can manifest itself. Despite its symptoms, anxiety is manageable.

The Symptoms of General Anxiety and Panic Disorder

 This is Joseph. His mind is constantly racing and it’s racing with negative thoughts. He worries about everything – from saying the wrong thing to a friend, to wondering if he will lose his cellphone, to questioning if he is eating healthy enough. He also thinks about the bigger problems, like if his daughter is safe at school, or how to make sure she has a good future. These may seem like typical worries that everyone has, but for Joseph, they consume his life and he is living in constant anxiety and fear. Caroline also worries quite frequently. She is in a high-stress job that demands a lot of her time. She is also a parent. The worry and stress are natural, but sometimes she becomes overwhelmed and breaks down, becoming ill for a short period of time. Joseph and Caroline both decide it is high time to go and see a doctor. They want to better understand and help to put an end to these unwanted feelings. The doctor tells Joseph he has been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, also known as G.A.D. While Caroline was diagnosed with Panic Disorder. Before the diagnosis, they never knew the difference between the two. G.A.D and Panic Disorder are both Anxieties Disorders with unique differences. G.A.D is a mental condition that is characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry about everyday life events and the future. Panic Disorder is characterized by panic attacks that can occur for seemingly no reason at all. They both can also happen during or directly after a traumatic event. There is not one single cause for GAD. It is believed to be caused by a complex interaction of genetics, brain chemistry, personality factors, and the environment in which the afflicted were raised. Traumatic experiences and stressful life events can also trigger a person to develop GAD. The symptoms for G.A.D are as follows: Constant high levels of worry about everyday things or things that do not normally warrant anxiety. Inability to let go of your worries even if you know they are irrational or unrealistic. Feeling restless, irritable, or on edge. Problems concentrating. Problems with sleep – either difficulty getting enough sleep or sleeping too much. Being easily frightened or startled. People with GAD may also experience the following physical symptoms: High levels of tension in your muscles. Regular headaches and nausea. Low levels of energy or constant fatigue. Increased sweating, trembling, or heart rate. Panic Disorder is defined as having recurring and regular panic attacks, often without any apparent cause. Panic attacks bring about a sudden rush of intense fear and panic, whereas General Anxiety Disorder is a slowly increasing and constant feeling of apprehension and unease about both the present and the future. Signs of a panic attack are Intense feelings of panic and stress. Trembling and shaking. Sweating. Increased heart rate.  Difficulty breathing. Numbness or tingling in hands and feet. Feeling dizzy or light-headed. Chest pain. Feeling unreal or detached from yourself. Due to the terrifying nature of a panic attack and the feelings of pain in the chest area, many people experiencing them for the first time think that they are having a heart attack, or that their life is in danger. An attack can last from a few minutes to an hour, and after it’s over, some people recover quickly and never experience another. Others may start to have them more regularly and the experience can be so frightening that they constantly worry about when the next one will occur. The symptoms of General Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder can successfully be reduced or controlled using medication. For GAD, therapy and counseling can be helpful in becoming aware when your worries are unrealistic or exaggerated, along with instilling positive thoughts instead of negative ones. For Panic Disorder, medication and therapy can help manage symptoms so that you can calm yourself down when you feel an attack is coming on. Anxiety disorders can affect anyone, no matter how strong or successful. Getting treatment for anxiety does not mean admitting weakness but means choosing to live life on your own terms, without letting those worries hold you back. If you know someone who struggles with anxiety, telling them to “stop worrying” or to “get over it” will not help. Oftentimes, they know that they are overreacting and behaving irrationally. However, the fear, panic, and feelings of anxiety are still very real. Don’t judge, and let them know you are there to support them without adding any additional pressure. Simply spending time with them and showing that you value them despite their anxiety will have a bigger effect than you can imagine.
