Anxiety


Anxiety is something that we all experience at one time or another. With Anxiety we can experience a wide range of emotions, from both positive and even negative. Negative emotions such as anger, fear, and apprehension are a normal response to an unpleasant or even dangerous situations, and are in fact necessary for survival.
 
However these emotions can get out of hand and occur without any stimulus, even to the point of disrupting our daily activities and harming our health. Unlike a physical disease or medical condition, there are no specific causes of anxiety. A variety of causes can combine to have a negative effect on any one person, ultimately resulting in a anxiety disorder.
 
The body’s chemical processes, one’s life experiences, and many other factors play a role. There can be specific elements of your life and environment that make you anxious and contribute to the problem of anxiety, such as work pressure, academic expectations, or major illness, or there can be a general existential crisis.

Constant worry can also cause panic attacks. No one should be forced to live their life with anxiety. Anxiety can be a devastating disorder, and even mild anxiety – the type that you can handle in your day to day life – has the potential to hold you back in ways you may not even realize. That's why curing anxiety is so important, and that's why anyone living with anxiety deserves to find relief. Yet few people do, and that's because the options for fighting anxiety aren't that popular. There is no such thing as a rapid cure for anxiety, which is why many people turn to home remedies.

Negative Effects of Anxiety


Chronic stress and anxiety is never a good thing. Not only does your capacity to enjoy all of the beautiful things in life diminish, but you are usually unable to achieve goals that you have set for yourself or maintain a healthy relationship with family and friends. Your emotional wellbeing comes under attack when anxiety takes over your daily routine.

The risk for heart disease and stroke also rises, as the heart and circulatory system are greatly affected by physiological stress with artery restriction and an increased heart rate. Some people attempt to cope with their anxiety by modifying their diet. This physical response can lead to such things as eating disorders, for example: binge eating, bulimia, and anorexia. Sleeping difficulties may additionally impair your performance at school or work, influence your social skills.
