Everybody suffers from anxiety; however there are those of
us who deal with it not quite as well as other people.
When I get anxious I have varying symptoms, these include
profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, feeling light headed, wanting to
throw up, tiredness, and of course wanting to find a safe place to be.
I have no idea where it all started although I have tried to
find out. By the time I realise I am anxious I have reached the point of no
return, so taking deep breaths etc is not an option.
I have sort medical advice and I am on medication. I can’t
work because of it but I am working on the basics of restoring my life to some
sort of normality. Thank goodness I have a wonderful, understanding wife who
also suffers anxiety which actually is a blessing as we both know what each of
us is going through.
Many people think anxiety is a sign of weakness and you
should get over it. Unfortunately it is not a sign of weakness it is a sign of
being strong for too long and NO you don’t just get over it like turning a page
in a book.
People have anxiety problems for many different reasons and
not all are easily treated. Making sure that any person who suffers anxiety has
support is what is important; following a program that suits you in the battle
against anxiety. The road can be a long
one as I have found but it can be a short one. You just have keep plugging
away.
