Does Anxiety Cause High blood Pressure?

09 Oct 2008 / 0 Comment

When it comes to anxiety disorders and their effect on our health there are more assumptions and myths than you can imagine. Some of these myths are based in fact but are not entirely accurate hence their myth status. The connection between anxiety and blood pressure is one of the most common of these semi-myths.

Will Your Anxiety Ever Get Better?

07 Oct 2008 / 0 Comment

Will your anxiety ever get better? This is the million dollar question for many folks that struggle with anxiety. The answer to this question is yes but there is a caveat.

The reason I say yes is because in my own experience I have been through terrible periods of intense anxiety and fear only to come out “normal” for a time. The caveat lies in our inability or more likely unwillingness to face our fears and challenge them squarely.

Anxiety And Vice

06 Oct 2008 / 0 Comment

“throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pain” - Democritus

The word vice is rather strong when you think about it. It is defined as “a moral depravity or corruption”. In my view and for our purposes a vice is something less and is generally something we should avoid or at least not over do. Anxiety sufferers have to deal with so much it’s no wonder that many of us turn to vice for relief and why vice becomes a coping tool.

Anxiety And Weight Gain

02 Oct 2008 / 0 Comment

Does Anxiety make you fat? Or a better question might be does the stress related with having chronic anxiety make one gain weight? Well like most things there are at least two schools of thought on the issue and I agree with both.

When researching anything I always suggest looking for various viewpoints. If you go in looking for an answer chances are you’ll find something to reinforce what you thought was the right answer.

A Bit Of Motivation

“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do” - Epictetus

Sometimes anxiety becomes more then just kind of a problem. It can in fact turn into an all consuming negative force that erodes your ability to hope. But when things get hard what we have to do is take a moment to realize how much we can affect ourselves.

The Heart Disease - Anxiety Disorder Connection

28 Sep 2008 / 0 Comment

As an anxiety sufferer you may spend a lot of time concerned about your immediate health. You may spend a great deal of time wondering what exactly is going to kill you since your convinced your about to die.

But although you worry generally you still have that small rational thought pattern that somehow reassures you that you are in fact healthy. So there you are going back and forth about the connection between your nerves and your health. Well it turns out all that worry was not baseless brain babble.

The Anxiety Before The Anxiety Disorder

24 Sep 2008 / 0 Comment

For many of us our anxiety disorders feel like they sprang up out of the blue as it were. But were there any signs that one was developing a long lasting and sometimes torturous sense of apprehension and negative physical feeling? Or was it always there and we now simply see things different?

Although children can have anxiety disorders it seems that adults are the ones that exhibit physical and mental exacerbation with the condition. Do kids have a better handle on this or is it a case of ignorance being bliss?
