Let's talk about anxiety.

in #psychology6 years ago (edited)

Surely it has happened to you that in the uncertainty of some event, or the knowledge that something is approaching but you do not know in what way, this has caused psychophysiological changes in you that you can recognize and give it a name, as in other occasions you simply know that you have lived it but can not establish reasons.

More than one (maybe), has experienced before a public exhibition, that feeling of their pressure increases, and begins to sweat or simply their brain begins to produce thoughts of possible scenarios with negative results. This and other symptoms can be part of an anxiety.

Anxiety as a passing emotion, and not as a disorder since this implies certain deeper characteristics and that require attention from the experts.

"The term anxiety comes from the throbbing anxiety, grief or affliction. It consists of a state of psychophysical discomfort characterized by a feeling of restlessness, restlessness, insecurity or desosiego before what is experienced as an imminent threat of indefinite cause. The basic difference between normal and pathological anxiety is that the latter is based on an unreal or distorted assessment of the threat. When the anxiety is very severe and acute, it can paralyze the individual, transforming into panic.translated from Spanish"Psicología Científica" .

.

Certainly as he quotes, all of us will at some point experience anxiety, the problem begins when the control capacity ceases to exist, and the episodes become constant and we begin to evade certain activities so as not to experience anxiety, we begin to avoid situations that may begin to cause problems because it can affect the proper development of our life cycle.

For example, when we experience anxiety to speak in public there are symptoms that are experienced and we observe them, however when the symptoms overflow and we avoid all these events, we begin to choose activities that take us away from any public exposure and it is where Without realizing it, the pathology can begin. From talking to millions of people, the elements that trigger anxiety can be increasing in value, although its threat is not real. It is as well as a person who presents a phobia initially for the exhibition in public, can get to avoid having any contact with any stranger.

Phobias and anxiety disorders do not appear by magic, they evolve, they appear as a result of mental schemes and experiences that allow us to associate situations with negative results, which are generalized and expanded until we can face a disorder on the which is necessary to treat

Do not be scared, because everything is possible to reverse it, and you can always notice if you experience some anxious trait and its possibilities of evolution. Go to a specialist so they can clarify these reasons and allow you to take action on the matter

Recommendations:

As I said before, when we talk about pathologies they are deeper levels and an evaluation will always be necessary to obtain a diagnosis, however, since you may experience anxious events, I will tell you some techniques that you can use to try to reduce these experiences. pleasant

Diaphragmatic breathing.

When we are facing an anxious event, one of the main things we must avoid is hyperventilation, since this in turn sends messages to the brain of danger and the symptoms can increase causing despair.
Of course, right now we are not going to practice breathing, we can only say that the main idea is to relax, but the goal is that when we are in quiet situations without any pressure, let's take a few minutes to practice diaphragmatic breathing, so that little by little we can apply it on a daily basis and at the moment that it is necessary to apply it, there is a domain and you can apply the diaphragmatic breathing to relax, otherwise the attempt could generate a totally opposite result. Provoking even more despair.

Positive self-affirmations

It is ideal that you create a list of those things that you are good at, and which help you to deal with those negative circumstances, the things you can do to get ahead in case of.
It is vital that you practice this when you are not exposed to these situations so that you can calmly visualize the different alternatives. If you want you can take this list with you and turn it into a kind of prayer, so that you can set up a positive thought and know or have some kind of defensive response to these occasions where you can experience moments with anxious symptoms.

Distraction

Distracting will be your best weapon, because it does not require greater capacity to carry it out, sometimes just sing or perform any activity that allows you to be distracted you will be winning over your anxious symptoms (which in this case are not a pathology) It is important to point out that the Anxiety that we experience at some point could happen even without realizing it just by distracting us

When we are facing a pathology this would be almost impossible because we are faced with quite marked symptoms and a series of thoughts that are greater and the brain does not allow the distraction to win, since the person has established a very rigid belief system and its system prevents the access of other lower thoughts.

Well, this has been all for today, the subject of anxiety is a very broad topic, very interesting and also important. The index of people suffering from this disorder increases considerably every day and there is no information necessary to make this a relevant issue, people consider that anxiety can not evolve and it is precisely where they make the mistake by downplaying it and see how people that we could believe they were mentally healthy, begin to suffer from disorders but does not have the diagnosis and of course, without diagnosis there is no treatment.
