Do You Suffer With Anxiety Disorder – Feels Like You Have Lost Control Over Your Own Mind

Do you find that you do a lot of thinking, and rethinking, then dwelling, ruminating, and the inability to shut your mind off? You wonder what it would be like to feel relaxed and calm again? You always seem to be on edge.

Most people don’t understand what it’s like to be someone who suffers from one. They come without warning and without reason. Yet anxiety disorders is a relatively common problem, affecting 3-4% of the population, that turns daily life into a state of worry, anxiety, and fear. Excessive thinking and dwelling on the “what ifs” characterizes this anxiety disorder. As a result, the person feels there’s no way out of the vicious cycle of anxiety and worry, and becomes depressed about life and the chronic state of anxiety they find themselves in.

Nevertheless, the feelings are very real. At this point, there is no “energy” or “zest” in life and no desire to want to do much.

Common symptoms that people experience when having anxiety are:

Feelings of panic, fear, and uneasiness
Problems sleeping
Cold or sweaty hands and/or feet
Shortness of breath
Heart palpitations
An inability to be still and calm
Dry mouth
Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
Nausea
Muscle tension
Dizziness

This emotional fear and worry can be quite strong. If a loved one is ten minutes late, the person with generalized anxiety fears the very worst – something’s dreadfully wrong.

The physical manifestations of generalized anxiety may include headaches, trembling, twitching, irritability, frustration, and inability to concentrate. Sleep disturbances may also occur. Elements of social anxiety and/or panic may sometimes be present, such as high levels of self-consciousness in some situations, and fear of not being able to escape from enclosed spaces.

There’s something those of you who don’t suffer from anxiety need to understand: IT CAN’T BE CONTROL. Don’t think that people with anxiety disorders are crazy or acting crazy. They are already well aware of that, and telling them, will only make their condition worse. It will come at the most inconvenient times. When it happens, just please be patient and understanding. The attack will eventually pass. Never bring up anything that they had previously worried about. Doing so will only trigger another attack. Understand that it’s you and them versus the illness.

If anyone ever admits to you that they have an anxiety disorder, don’t ever tell them that they “just need just to relax.” Because if it was that easy, I think we would have figured it out by now.
