what is the best way to overcome anxiety?

Answer 1

Different things work for different people, so here are some suggestions.
1.Distract yourself with other things like the comics in the paper or a good(No tear jerker)movie. Or call a friend just to talk.
2.Remember. No matter how bad things seem, I bet you can find or know someone who's got worse problems.Think of all the advantages of your situation.(How to turn lemons into lemonade.
3.Try just relaxing and thinking of nothing but good things or meditation. You'd be surprised, with a little practice how good it will make you feel.
4.Call someone who has confided in you in the past or a sibling or parent. You may not see eye to eye all the time but confiding in them may help your anxiety and bring you closer at the same time.In the last 50 years,I've found that when it gets REALLY rough, blood is still thicker than water. My sons live their own lives but when things get serious, they still come to me for advice. So far,So good.
5.If you don't have someone you feel comfortable talking to, see a therapist. Look at it this way. If you say something the wrong way or breakdown, they are strangers that are not gonna talk bad about you later.They'll try their best to help you, then they'll go home and be with their family and friends and won't have an interest in spreading what you told them.
6.Talk to your Family Doctor or a Mental Health Pro. If your anxiety is a constant problem, let them know. You may have deeper issues that require medication.
7.What has worked BEST for me is I ask myself:"In 2 weeks, or a month,or a year, is this even gonna matter?"In 5 years, will I even remember this was a problem"?

Answer 2

If only the answer were so easy. Things that help me: Rationalizing. Breathing exercises. Slowly and gradually experiencing some of the things that cause the anxiety. When I feel the onset of the anxiety before a panic attack it helps me to get up and walk around and get fresh air rather than constrict myself and my breathing.... that just makes it much worse. I am not a fan of typical psychotherapy or the use of anti-depressants for anxiety. Although there CAN be a connection I have no problems as far as depression and mood, so they are too dangerous for my preference. I am going to be beginning hypnotherapy in May for anxiety and phobias. If you're interested in that feel free to ask me how it goes a little later and I would be happy to let you know if it has helped me at all.

Answer 3

Overcome anxiety by direct exposure to the source of such anxiety, in a graduated and controlled manner. This'll provide a history of successful (you didn't die) encounters in which your determination won out over your crippling anxieties.
The memories you'll take to the next challenge as a reminder of how you've already kicked butt. Thats how confidence can be built; by establishing a history of small, though memorable triumphs that'll bolster your self-image enough to tackle new challenges that confront you; unafraid.
Baby-Steps. That's all it takes, and once you take that first one...the rest just fall into place naturally-the initiative set into motion with that first baby step propels you onward. Before long you'll have a whole string of uninterupted successes, and soon come to expect it. By then, you'll be more interested in what's ahead; no need to look over your shoulder, nuthin' back there to bother you now. With doubt and worry shrinking away, you're then free to set your own pace towards goals you'll be confident to reach.
And you will've determined a method to beat anxieties throughout your entire lifetime.
Baby-Steps!
Way to Go!

Answer 4

The phoenix is what you want. It is a tattoo symbol often associated with feminine qualities, each part of its body representing a specific virtue. Duty, goodness, kindness and reliability are some of the lesser known aspects of the phoenix. The flame images represent purification and transformation through fire and adversity. The flight of the phoenix is a symbol of rebirth and the resurrection, leaving the old world for the new world of the spirit, dying and rising again, reborn. It symbolized the victory of life over severe adversity. As a back piece it would look awesome, but to look right it would have to cover your back.

Answer 5

I would catch mysef breathing very shallowly before anxiety hit hardest. Once I recognized it and began to take nice deep breaths and talk myself down life was greatly improved!

Answer 6

There is no "best" way. What works for one person might not work for another.
I have to talk to myself in my head and try and rationalize things. If it doesn't work, I remove myself from the situation that is causing me to feel that way. I also have medication, but rarely use it because it makes me feel tired.

Answer 7

You can go three ways with it:

Medicine which will make you numb and change your personality drastically which you will not like.

Or you can pray. And with faith and hope, God will see you through.

Or you can do it organically. Through breathing and exercises that are available in your area. Which you can find with little research.

I recommend the third option. And to sceal the deal, I'm going to pray for you.
