More about anxiety :-
Anxiety may result in :-
Everything from :-
An inability to carry out normally simple tasks like filling in forms, because of the level of anxiety. To irrational thoughts, feeling that people are calling you names or criticising you, isolation, depression, feelings of self harm, panic attacks, apparently irrational behaviour or obsessive compulsive disorders.
After time the person may develop a habit of behaving in ways to avoid the situation that gives them the anxiety this could develop into a phobia. It should be noted that to the person with the anxiety that the thoughts may appear to be normal.
Some fears or anxieties are of no real consequence to the person. For example a morbid fear of something will not affect them if they do not really need to be exposed to the situation that causes the fear.
A certain amount of anxiety is normal but if the level of anxiety restricts the desired lifestyle or that which is expected of us then it is likely to cause a negative stress causing reaction that may be harmful. That is for some people the anxiety may be very chronic and affect their quality of life and make it difficult for them to cope with aspects of life which for others are normally manageable.
Sometimes anxiety causes a panic attacks where a person is often coping without any problems and then quite quickly can feel totally out of control and in the grips of a panic attack and unable to physically carry out what may appear to others as a simple task.
Panic attacks produce very real physical symptoms from a rapid increase in heartbeat and breathing to a felling of butterfly's in the stomach. These physical symptoms may be very unpleasant and the accompanying psychological thoughts of terror can make a panic attack a very scary experience.
These physical feelings cause a further psychological fear which in turn cause more physical problems. This becomes a cycle of physical anxiety symptoms causing physical symptoms causing physical symptoms and so on.
The Panic Attack may develop into a phobia where the person will avoid the situation causing panic attack.
Anything that can be do to break this panic cycle can help calm and lower the panic attack.
