Doctoral Thesis Finds That Anxiety Sufferers Are Symptom Hyperactive
How To Defeat Negative Thinking
As we search for the best ways to defeat our anxiety symptoms sometimes we assume that the best solution to our problem just has to be complicated. How else could such a problem be dealt with right? Well I think that this is in fact not true. You've heard all the cliche's before, the shortest distance between two places is a straight line or how about the best solution is usually the most simple one so on and so forth. Although not always true, like if you wanted to build a space shuttle to reach Mars, simple is usually better. After all
Why You Should Not Practice Avoidance
In an effort to sooth their anxiety many anxiety sufferers turn to avoidance as a coping tool. Anxiety sufferers will avoid going to certain places or avoid certain people just to make sure that they won't feel bad. It's almost like we anxiety sufferers would rather hide from the world than deal with the symptoms, thoughts, and feelings that drive us mad. But avoidance is ultimately not the answer to your troubles. When you have an anxiety disorder asking questions and searching for information about anxiety becomes almost a ritual. So
Not Thinking Too Hard Is Good
Thinking is something we all do all the time. There is no way to stop the incessant chatter that is the soundtrack to everything we do. Should I eat this? Or should I eat that? I need to go to the bathroom but I'll wait a few minutes until I go. After that I better check my voice mail and then my email oh and I have to... it never stops.

Neurontin Linked to Depression and Suicide
As you search for the magic anti-anxiety elixir you should always take careful note of what you are ingesting.

Are You Lazy Or Is Anxiety Slowing You Down?
One of the most unfortunate symptoms of an anxiety disorder is insomnia and to those that deal with it bless you all. Not being able to sleep is horrible but what if you have the opposite problem? Leave it to anxiety to be confused about how to make your life harder. It is true however that anxiety can put you in a near slumber and never ending state of sluggishness. Although feeling tired and slow are not startling (for the most part) they can put a damper on your daily routine. Want to go out? Not really. Want to exercise? Nope. Can you
