Treat Anxiety Disorder 2

Carrying on from part one on how to treat anxiety disorder.

Assuming what others think - I came across this wonderful way of interpreting 'assume' - this word ca be broken into 'ass', 'u' and 'me'. In other words every time you assume something, you make an ass of you and me.

This is a nice way of cautioning you of the hazard that assumptions can form. You may often look around you and think, 'They must be thinking I am looking gross' or 'I know she hates me. Do not believe such things because when you do so, you unconsciously copy the image you have fashioned this way. When you go into this trap, you can discover that you are spiraling into low self-esteem, decreased belief and anxiety disorder symptoms.

Nevertheless keep in mind while reading this editorial, that to treat anxiety disorder; you start by challenging these negative thoughts. I just thought I’d drop this in to remind to you that you can defeat these self-defeating thoughts. But you need to be aware of them before you can start to contest them.

Generalizing negative traits - you have continually been told to think confidently. This is since it influences the way you think and then the way you behave. It is possible that you may make mistakes now and then; these mistakes could be minor or major. It happens. Learn from the lesson and move on.

Do not consider thoughts of generalization. This is a severe negative thought trap. Things similar to 'What ever I touch turns to dust', 'and nothing I do will ever come out perfect' and things like that. When you do so, you are berating yourself and inviting anxiety to take over. Do not generalize when you make a slip-up.

Self-labeling

Sometimes things do go your way. In fact, life is full of times when you walk uphill, when things are tough and outcome looks grim. It is okay. Good times will come, too. Life is a cycle; at times you are up and from time to time you are down. The key to contentment is to adjust and keep looking ahead.

Blowing up realty

There are times when troubles seem larger than life. Usually, at such times you should roll up your sleeves and tackle the problem head-on. However, at such times your mind would be tempted to go into negative thoughts traps such as, 'I am going to kick the bucket of a heart-attack', 'My life is over with this chapter' and things like that. If such thoughts are not checked right away, they may create a feeling of vulnerability and vulnerability that might tend to blow up slight problems into huge obstacles. The result would be a massive anxiety attack.
