Anxiety Doesn’t Make You Weird or Crazy
Everyone worries or feels nervous from time to time. Anxiety is a normal human reaction to stressful situations. But for people with anxiety disorders, those fears and worries aren’t temporary. Their anxiety persists and can even get worse over time. Anxiety disorders can severely impair a person’s ability to function at work, school, and in social situations. Anxiety can also interfere with a person’s relationships with family members and friends. Is anxiety disorder curable? Fortunately there are effective treatments for anxiety.
Making Anxiety Disorder More Manageable
- Some ways to manage anxiety disorders include learning about anxiety, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, correct breathing techniques, dietary adjustments, exercise, assertiveness, self-esteem, cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, structured problem-solving, medication, and support groups.
- Psychotherapy, known as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), is highly effective at treating anxiety disorders. Through CBT, psychologist’s help patients learn to identify and manage the factors that contribute to their anxiety.
5 Easy Steps to Changing You’re Thinking
- Step One – Make A List.
On a sheet of paper and put a line down the middle from top to bottom. Label one side “Old Thoughts” or “Unproductive Thoughts” and the other side “Replacement Thoughts.”
- Step Two – Record Unproductive Thoughts.
Write in first person things you think of regularly; these could be anxious or worried thoughts. Negative or self-critical thoughts that cause you to lack self-confidence keep you from being happy.
- Step Three – Create Replacement Thoughts.
Write in the first person, replacing negative thoughts with honest thoughts of who you are or wish you saw yourself as. Working on making positive affirmations for the person you are beyond the disorder.
- Step Four – Read Your List Often.
Look over this list at least two times a day to ensure you begin to see these things within yourself, and if you don’t, keep reading it until you do.
- Step Five – Notice and Replace.
Look back throughout your days and see how often you think about the unproductive list when describing yourself vs. the more productive list, and find ways to replace the negative with a positive from your list.
