Managing Anxiety: Strategies for Coping and Finding Relief by Nami21

  

       Anxiety refers to anticipating a future concern and is more associated with muscle tension and avoidance behavior. Fear is an emotional response to an immediate threat and is more associated with a fight or flight reaction – either staying to fight or leaving to escape danger.


Who often experiences this anxiety? 

    It is usually young people who share it the most. Because of their heavy workload, anxiety builds up to stress because of their experience with piles of work. Workers also experience this because they are too tired from their work.

    Even when they know there is no reason to worry, people with generalized anxiety disorder constantly worry about mundane topics like their health, finances, or family relationships. They have trouble relaxing, staying focused, and starting smoothly. They have difficulty staying sleeping or falling asleep. Muscle aches, headaches, and other strange pains could occur them. Stress frequently makes symptoms worse.

Symptoms:

  • When you feel super tired and drained. 
  • When severely nervous and trembling, sweating. 
  • When you have difficulty breathing, you think something is blocking your breathing. 
  • Chest tightness is a symptom of anxiety when you think of something harmful and many others.

Here are some examples of anxiety:

    Examples of anxiety are when you have to present or give a speech at your school and are nervous. Another thing is that when you are looking for a job and have to be interviewed, you feel anxious. And when exams or activities are coming up, you feel all the emotions. Severe aversion to speaking in front of groups, making new friends, or eating or drinking in public. The worry or fear impairs day-to-day activities. When you meet a new person, you feel nervous and sweat because of your feelings.

How can this anxiety be avoided? 

    Eat healthy foods, vegetables, fruits, and other healthy foods. Exercise in the morning and mingle with positive people. Keep bodies and mental health in good condition. Sleep according to ourselves as much as possible and help in advance for good thinking. Listen to someone who can help us with our mental health to make ourselves comfortable with our review.

Tips to Calm Down:

    Distract yourself with the music or draw anything that you feel happy about. Breathing correctly is one of the essential things that can help us. Listen to soothing music to relax and unwind. And be good to yourself, treat yourself, give time, and care for yourself. Do activities that change our mood and bring out our true joy.
