As we go through this material, I want you to realize that this part is important for individuals who are attempting to assist another person who is suffering from or coping with anxiety on a day-to-day basis.
I want you to know this because I want you to be able to help someone else.
The manner in which you support them might be essential in assisting them in better managing their anxiety.
The most important thing to do is never make fun of or attempt to minimize another person’s anxiety disorder in any way.
This is a legitimate condition, and as such, it ought to be treated with the appropriate amount of care.
Don’t simply brush off their occurrence as an isolated incident or attempt to “fix” their issue by rationalizing it away.
Both of these approaches are ineffective.
You need to have the awareness to know that when a person is in the midst of a genuine anxiety attack, the reason is not something that they are focused on or listening to in any way shape or form.
This is a tremendously terrifying sensation, and despite your best efforts, you won’t be able to make it go away no matter how much you want it to.
You do not have the ability to do this; rather, the person who is being attacked is the only one who does.
Acting as though they are lying or putting on an act to grab your attention is the worst thing you could ever do to them.
This is not even close to being true.
Even if you haven’t been through the unending fear of an anxiety attack yourself, you could believe that this is genuine.
However, just because you haven’t experienced it personally doesn’t mean that it isn’t occurring to someone you care about.
Imagine for a moment if you were there during a “physical” accident that a member of your immediate family or a close friend was involved in. something from which it was possible to see the results.
Wouldn’t you give them the benefit of the doubt and do all in your power to assist them?
What would you do if they were engulfed in flames inside a burning car?
What if they were unable to escape from the sea and began to drown?
You are someone who would want to help them, aren’t you?
What would you do if they weren’t breathing?
Would you simply stand there and watch them leave this world?
Or would you do your best to give them cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), even if you weren’t quite certain that you were doing it correctly?
Even though the situations described above are severe, for someone who suffers from anxiety, even the smallest setback might seem like the end of the world.
It’s as if they are helplessly submerged in a sea of disorder and discord, unable to claw their way to the surface.
You are probably contributing to another condition that goes hand in hand with anxiety and depression if you try to dismiss the anxiety attack by acting as if it is not happening.
This is a really bad idea.
The next time they have an anxiety episode or attack, rather than pinning them down and keeping them “under water,” consider tossing them a life preserver instead.
How are you even able to achieve that?
Simply be there for them in every way.
In spite of the fact that you may not fully comprehend what they are going through, let them know that you are there for them and that you will not leave until they feel better.
Do not make the person you are trying to help go through an anxiety episode against their will.
It is possible that this will make the assault far more damaging for them.
Just allow the attack to take place naturally, and in the vast majority of instances, if not all of them, their bodies will naturally assist them in escaping the “hot” zone after they have done so.
In the event that it does not, take them as quickly as you can to the closest emergency hospital.
You might even contact an ambulance to take them away.
Additionally, you should never, ever attempt to give someone who is experiencing an anxiety attack any form of prescription medication that has not been prescribed by their primary care physician.
It may seem to be obvious, but when you watch a loved one go through something as distressing as this, you feel a strong want to assist them in any way you can.
Believe me, this won’t be of any assistance to them.
Getting them to seek assistance from a trained expert at a location such as an emergency room or their own family doctor.
Getting Help For Anxiety
There is still assistance available for you, even if you have used up all of your own mental strength trying to conquer anxiety on your own.
The most prudent thing for you to do right now would be to look into getting some kind of expert assistance from your reliable family doctor.
They will tell you what you should do and the best actions for you to follow in order to live a successful life while also serving you a side of anxiety.
Even if you do not have access to a primary care physician, you may still be able to seek assistance for anxiety from the mental health services in your community.
One of the conditions that may be treated at one of the numerous facilities that specialize in anxiety and panic disorders is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
There are a number of other conditions that can be treated at these facilities.
Never allow yourself to believe that you are going through this all by yourself.
Every day, millions of other individuals go through the exact same experience that you are going through with anxiety.
There are anxiety-related programs that can assist you in making sense of and learning how to control your anxiety, as well as support groups, counseling services, and anxiety-related programs that you should take advantage of.
Of course, there are also effective medications that your doctor can prescribe for you if necessary.
Anxiety Disorders: What Are They and Do You Or a Loved Get Them?
Anxiety disorders are one of the most pervasive problems impacting people in the United States, despite the fact that there are many other stressful medical issues.
There are millions of people who suffer from anxiety disorders to varying degrees, and the precise conditions that people experience might vary widely from one another.
In the absence of therapy, anxiety disorders continue to worsen, so it is imperative that you get medical attention as soon as possible if you suspect that you may be suffering from one of these conditions.
Panic disorder is one of the types of anxiety disorders that affect most people.
When a person suffers from this condition, they have sudden panic episodes on a regular basis.
These come in a variety of intensities and may be managed by a combination of medical treatment and behavioral modification.
Another prevalent mental illness is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
The individual who suffered from this anxiety illness had uncontrolled and undesirable cravings to carry out a certain activity, such as combing their hair a predetermined number of times.
There are forms of anxiety disorders that are not associated with any inherited abnormalities that a person may have.
Examples of this are most easily accessible, and they come from people who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Patients who suffer from anxiety disorders often and uncontrollably think about terrifying scenarios and recall traumatic experiences from their past, such as being in a car accident or fighting in a war.
The condition known as “phobia” may also be classified as an anxiety disorder.
People may be afraid of many different things, such as being trapped in a tiny area (also known as claustrophobia), being afraid of spiders (also known as arachnophobia), or any other number of other things.
Phobias are often illogical and very severe, and being in close proximity to the thing that is feared or being put in the circumstance that is feared will typically bring on a panic attack.
The term “generalized anxiety disorder” (GAD) is given to describe the condition of many individuals who are afflicted with an anxiety disorder.
GAD is a condition in which a person feels higher-than-normal levels of anxiety and concern, but they are not having panic episodes or suffering from any other medical disorders at the same time.
Anxiety disorders may afflict people of any age, economic background, color, or religion, and can manifest themselves in either gender.
The good news is that medical therapy for these problems is becoming more impactful on a day-to-day basis.
The goal is to recognize that you have a problem with anxiety disorder before it starts to negatively impact your life.
The treatment of your disease, which may then assist you in regaining or maintaining control of your life, can be provided by a medical professional.
It is of the utmost importance that you get medical attention.
Each anxiety condition is distinct, and a person’s experience with a particular anxiety disorder might seem quite different from person to person.
Whenever you have even the smallest suspicion that anything may be wrong with your body, you should make an appointment with a medical professional to discuss anxiety issues.
