Worry, fear, and anxiety are a ordinary part of our life. Have you experienced feeling anxious before taking an exam and later find out that you got a higher result more than what you’ve expected? Or, feeling anxious for a job consultation and ended up getting hired, or feeling terrified walking down an alley where dreadful things often happened? Normal anxiety helps us deal with any stressful situation, it also keeps us observant.
Mental health professional are not anxious with normal anxiety. But, if your anxiety all of a sudden occured without apparent reason and lasts for weeks to months and happens in most days that is another issue. If anxiety persists in most days and lasts longer than six months, it has become an immobilizing disorder.
An anxiety disorder is a recurring and excessive anxiety. Where you worry about events or activities without rational reasons. It can imped with everyday activities, such as going to work, and socializing. A person experiencing anxiety condition finds it demanding to control the feelings of worry and fear. The thing concerning people with anxiety disorder is that they, in reality know that what they think of feel is not real and that they are just made-up.
The common anxiety disorders are Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.
A individual with anxiety condition may experience different anxiety disorder symptoms. And since no two people are the same, the anxiety disorder symptoms may vary from one person to the other.
The physical symptoms of anxiety disorder are cause by the brain sending messages to parts of the body to prepare it for the flight-or-fight response. The lungs, heart, and other parts of the body work faster and the brain releases stress hormones, including adrenaline.
These are just some of the symptoms of anxiety that people may experience physically:
Abdominal discomfort
Diarrhea
Dry mouth
Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
Tightness or pain in chest
Shortness of breath
Dizziness
Frequent urination
Difficulty swallowing
Psychologically you may experience:
Insomnia
Irritability
Inability to concentrate
Fear of going crazy or dying
Feeling unreal and not in control of your behavior
There are more than a few types of anxiety disorders and intermittently they are associated with physical addictions such as alcohol and drug abuse. Anxiety is the main symptoms of other mental illness called anxiety disorders. Symptoms of anxiety may vary from the symptoms of other anxiety disorders, but all the symptoms cluster around excessive, irrational fear and dread.

This article caught my attention by stating the fact that indoor tanning may be an addiction. Tanning is common in society now adays and because of the seasons and the climate we tend to go indoor tanning instead, in salons. I always saw it as a fashion statement or part of beauty, but it is connected to addiction. There was a survey done with 229 people who used indoor tanning, and 39% of them met the criteria to be considered addicted to tanning, and those who met these criteria were most likely to have symptoms of anxiety, use of alcohol or drugs. This addiction because of your anxiety will eventually have long term damaging effects such as skin cancer. I think this is a very interesting article and people should read this before they go tanning again.

My heart aches for your family over the loss of your beautiful daughter. Unfortunately, the proposed health care plan, with its mental health “parity”, will facilitate this type of tragedy happening to other families. We must stop not only the MOTHERS act, but any mental health parity or mandated mental health screening. Everyone must remail viligant to these mental health initiatives, at both state and national level.

You're doing great. You seem in control, despite juggling a lot of things. You are remaining positive–while smiling, I might add.
You are confident in the positive outcomes of your decisions, and you realize the many negative things that are trying to bring you down. You're continuing to move forward. Keep at it, spiffy. I'm rooting for you.

Hi Matt,
I wanted to add to the conversation;
It is nice to hear that certain criteria’s are acknowledged and that there is intention to deal with these issues by The Children’s Mental Health Campaign;
Issues of the stigma that surrounds mental illness;
The lack of capacity in schools to address mental health needs;
And the shortage of mental health service providers.
I totally agree that “children’s mental health system cannot be a one-size-fits-all process.”
Keep us posted.
Good luck and take care.
Thank you,
Regards
Gary Graye

Xsullengirlx you weren’t rambling you were speaking the truth. As someone with BPD and depression I agree with and can relate to what you said. Personally, I use my appearance to mask my low moods as the fear of ‘looking crazy’ is always on my mind. I work hard to make sure I look ‘normal’ so people will think I am feeling okay. So I just want to second your statement, its true when it comes to the mentally ill you can’t really know how mentally healthy a person is just by looking at them.
I think this idea of EMF waves causing headaches or any other symptoms of anxiety is quite vague. First of all, the wide range of symptoms it states are that of any other common sickness and is not specific enough with any type of proof causing the person's anxiety to increase or for their anxiety to even occur. The people which claimed to obtain cancer from these waves are almost over exaggerating the EMF waves. There is still no stated distinction between whether people can tell if an EMF wave is causing their distinction and no stated proof. It states the fact that the cure to this would be cognitive behavioral therapy, in which is a psycho-therapeutic approach that aims to solve problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognition through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. Since it deals with dysfunctional emotions, there might be a cognitive behavior making the person feel that way about EMF waves; giving over justification.

St Helens News Mental health trust to hold meeting: THE first ever annual meeting of a new foundatio… St Helens Star
I am a veteran of the Vietnam war era. Soon after being honorably discharged I allowed myself to receive mental health services. It became the worst mistake that I ever made. I suffered from the stigma, and shame that everyone knows, results from involvement with mental health services. My marriage, my children, and my career suffered. I felt like an oddball. The mental health system likes to blame the military, and everyone elso about stigma, but the truth is their diagnoses are demeaning, and harm true rehabilitation.
In response to Leanne's question about mental health, in general, “normal” mental health has fluctuations in terms of our emotions, responses to everyday and/or abnormal stresses, life events, etc. In terms of psychiatry, it's a large group of psychiatrists who come up with the “standard” criteria for diagnoses of mental illnesses and it's periodically evaluated and revised… but the one constant in diagnosing abnormal mental health or mental illness is that it has a significant negative impact on one's life, whether that be work/relationships/etc.
HSP- I also wanted to add that to me, agorophobia is “fear of the fear”. It is a cycle that I chase daily. If I could (and I will) one day face that fear head on, take it my the horns, I believe the anxiety will wane. You cannot be afraid of fear it you aren't afraid of fear. Simple but complex. I must learn to stop reacting the the body symptoms of anxiety….which lead to panic. I know what to do, just now how to put in practice. I guess I will have to take that leap of faith and try…instead of relying on chemicals to do it for me. I am a Leo….I need to start acting like king of my jungle so to speak.
Actually, Silvana, that's the definition of agoraphobia for all of us, I think. Yes, imagine this: we decide X event is significant to us for whatever reason. We choose to go and participate DESPITE the “fear or fear.” We get there, enjoy ourselves, but start to feel a surge of panic. We accept the uncomfortableness, we stay in the moment, and guess what? The panic dissipates. We leave the function a little tired, but we can honestly say we enjoyed ourselves.
This would be ideal to me. The problem I think we're both having is the willingness to feel the uncomfortableness.
There's still a seed inside me that is not convinced I will not go crazy, die, faint, or suddenly get Tourette's. This tiny stupid seed is what's keeping me from living a value-driven life.
But, every time I go to X and just “be” with the “uncomfortableness,” EVERY TIME I am glad I did it.
Are you familiar with Claire Weekes' theory about First Fear and Second Fear? If somehow we could just accept those first physical sensations as what they are — harmless, we'd be fine.
I hope to get this whole thing worked out soon. I am sick and tired of avoiding things and running from the panic. But, then, I am only about 1/3 of the way through the Hayes book!
A safe injection site is not the solution, mental health and facilities to deal with it is the answer.
if you care so much about their health and welfare, pay for it yourselves, keep our tax dollars out of the equation
I'm confused. So the solution is mental health facilities that are paid for by whom?
Certainly you are correct, mental health problems, and a lack of support, do often lead to drug addiction. However, solving that problem doesn't preclude providing a safe injection site. It just means that the issue is multifaceted.

The general mood condition of the human body may be triggered by various factors leading to anxiety. The logical solution to prevent a decline in health condition is to stop anxiety. Anxiety usually begins when one smells a potential threat which may be uncontrollable or unavoidable. Research reveals that anxiety panic attacks are observed in people who may have a generalized "psychological vulnerability". It is important to ensure that necessary actions are taken to stop anxiety at the correct time. The external symptoms of anxiety may be pale skins, sweating and trembling to mention a few. Necessary precautions should be taken to prevent anxiety panic disorder.

Symptoms of Anxiety
Rambling you are so right. Our body is connected with multiple parts, mental health is one of those parts. The stigma of mental illness may have a large part in the deficit observed in mental health funding as you mentioned. I am not sure of the federal funding allocation, however, I hope mental health can receive more support nationally. Unfortunately, only when tragic episodes following a mental illness event does it make front headlines. (Only for a few days)
This is very true for our daughter. After a great day she will often melt down and obsess, worry, cry or just be very very hyper. It all proves to be too much. When she was smaller the doctors thought her seizures were panic attacks. They went untreated for way too long as a result. Anxiety is tough to read when it involves lots of physical symptoms. Anxiety definately brings out her seizures. Thanks for sharing this article.
ahahah thank you for putting this up i was laughing so hard wen i saw it i was hoping it would be up ahahah oh n to get ful doc. just google “I Married The Eiffel Tower”
Hiya – saw your comment on my post, so thought I'd check your blog out.
In a demyelinating disease such as MS, optic neuritis is very often a temporary thing. I had it for a few months but it is completely back to normal, now. Some people have residual effects, but it is important to say that it rarely leads to complete blindness and if it did, the chances are that it would get better again.
In answer to your question, my early symptoms were optic neuritis, vertigo (dizziness and nausea) and fatigue. Since then I have had a number of relapses, the last one left me with permanent doublevision when I look left and nystagmus when I look right and sporadic bouts of nerve pain in my feet and legs. I no longer have o.n. or vertigo.
It will be well worth talking to your examiner and putting your exam off(?) until a later date, or taking a note from your GP so they can take your symptoms and anxiety about them into account.
Hope this helps, get in touch if you want to talk further.

The American mental health system wants to blaim the military, our society, the family, everyone else except of course itself for stigma; however, everyone knows that stigma is generated from the humiliating, and prejudicial self-serrving “diagnoses” and lingo utilized commonly by mental health professionals. The harm of the resultant stigma has has been known to exist for decades. No one wants any part what so ever with mental health services. It is proven that mental health lingo hampers future recovery, adjustment, and rehabilitation. Mental health lingo harms family life, and the patient's confidence, and career. Its about time for our government to stop all funding to mental health, until it can be determined, exactly what harm mental health lingo has done to our veterans, their familites, and society for many decades.
