Anxiety Recovery – Common Traits that are STOPPING You from Overcoming Panic and Anxiety!

When it comes to anxiety and panic disorder recovery there are plenty of things that can hold you back to fully overcome any anxiety issues. There are however very specific and common traits that many of us share and most probably are unaware of. We often feel that in order to fully get over any anxiety issues we must first address the stress symptoms. We believe that once we managed the anxiety symptoms like the rapid heartbeat, numbness, tingling or dizziness… that we then are automatically anxiety free. I believe that this is the wrong approach. Because it wasn’t a symptom that has started this whole sage but it was an overactive stress response that has jumpstarted this whole saga. You have reached an overwhelming point. This overwhelmed state is keeping you on high alert and fires up all kinds of symptoms. Simply treating the symptom will have no direct effect on your underlying stress levels. You will still be hyper-stimulated and have all kinds of anxiety symptoms. One sensation may vanish but the stress response will simply fire up another or up the intensity until you are back trapped in the vicious worry cycle. WE also tend to not trust doctors. We are unable to come to peace with a diagnosis or test result as we still feel the physical effects of our highly stressed bodies. Symptoms like blurry vision, muscle twitching, and muscle spasms are still there even though the doctor has just confirmed that we are completely fine. This leads to us digging deeper, constantly trying to find other reasons for why we feel the way we do. Its a never-ending cycle. To start recovering from anxiety you will learn to accept that anxiety is a possibility and stop forcing another diagnosis. This is the only way you can move on and concentrate on lowering stress and healthy lifestyle choices.Probably the most important factor that is holding us back from full recovery is how we deal with anxiety setbacks. Many of us have had days or even weeks feeling almost completely fine. IT was almost like we were anxiety-free and could live close to normal. Then out of nowhere, this rush of adrenaline starts pumping again and we end up in a panic. Our minds go crazy as we believe we felt anxiety symptoms without feeling anxious. We start to wonder what that just was. We weren’t anxious in the first place. So this time it could very well be something more serious! And back we are to square one.Keep these in mind and next time you catch yourself in these situations reset your focus on what you have learned. Recovery from anxiety is 100% possible!—————————————————————————————————————————————————Interested to chat in a more private setting?
