My Journey With Anxiety

My life is just as normal as yours. However, things started to change when I started suffering from the issue of anxiety. It all started when I started to feel the pressure of coming to my friends and reach my goals sooner. I used to think of all ways possible to start a startup. My problem was I wasn’t able to point and settle down one single idea. There was a gush of ideas that used to follow through my head every day and it was hard for me to figure out one thing that I really wanted to settle with. Over time, this kept increasing and I was thinking more on my ideas that I reached a point where I couldn’t even sleep well. All my time and energy went on figuring out what is the best scope and decision for me. I left my job as I wanted more time to concentrate on my startup. But this made the condition worst. It is then when my family member came to the rescue and helped me find the right solution to my problem. But before I get into the details let me first tell you a little about anxiety.

The issue of Anxiety

We are all aware of the term mental health illness. There are many factors that can contribute to causing the issue of mental health issue in people. But, there is a number of taboo associated with it. Suffering from anxiety too is a mental illness that can be cured when given the right care and treatment. It is seen as a condition where the person gets restless and keeps constantly worrying and thinking. Anxiety issues can also result from stress in people. Most people lose their productivity and the capability to work when anxious. Therefore, it is very important that we take the right care for handling the condition the right and effective way.

My strategies for Anxiety management

As I said, it is not impossible to treat anxiety. If the right care is given it can be controlled and diminished over time. What I and my family did to overcome the issue of anxiety is we approached for both medical help and also tried traditional ways. My methods are-

Taking some time out- My initial was that I was constantly thinking and worrying. So, I decided to take some time out from my plans and relax. I assigned myself 30 minutes of relaxation time where I would meditate, listen to music, or do things that I love and enjoy. Tried to control my caffeine intake. This is mainly because a high level of caffeine in the body can lead to stress which can make me more anxious. Maintaining a positive attitude accepting that I cannot control everything and it is sometimes okay to not know what is in the future. Took medical help. My doctor suggested me to use it once a day. It helps by secreting hormones that relax the mind and keeps the person. Taking it once a day for three months now has helped me control my issue of anxiety and I am doing much better now. You can follow my strategies if you are suffering from anxiety and live a better and healthier life.
