Understanding Anxiety Cure

The most common questions among the anxiety sufferers is whether there is such a thing as an anxiety cure that will prevent people from having anxiety attacks.

Let’s get one thing straight; Anxiety Is Not a Disease. It is a part of being Human. Whenever we feel a danger is coming on our way, we get anxious. Anxiety is caused by our own feeling and it actually heightens our bodily functions to prepare for the danger. Anxiety causes our heat to beat faster, our muscles to be tense and raises our body temperature that produces sweats.

Now that we know that the problem is anxiety come when we have an overwhelming feeling of fear. This is also known as Anxiety Attack. Anxiety attack is a big problem because it makes us blind sided from doing whatever we should be doing; instead it only focuses on the fear. Whenever one has an anxiety attack, he/she just try to get away from the source of the danger but paralyze the whole body temporarily. The brain stop to think, our action is purely based on emotion, in which might put us in the worse situation.

Unnecessary anxiety is a reaction that you learned during some experience that caused your anxiety switch to get stuck in the "on" position. In other words, you attached anxiety to that initial experience, and it stuck. Thereafter, you always get anxious when you revisit that experience, even though the initial danger is long gone.

In order to be able to control anxiety, we need to understand on what triggers it. Most people might not be able to find the root cause because it happens too fast. The truth is that anxiety attack actually feeds on ‘perceived’ fear.

One of the options to overcome the anxiety attack is called Systematic desensitization. It is a type of behavioral therapy which also known as graduated exposure therapy. The way this therapy works is by facing your fear repeatedly until you become used to it. Once you get used to it, you would not perceived it as dangerous.

Knowing that Anxiety is a part of our normal life, do we still want to be free of it? Maybe not completely, but having the ability to control it would be ideal. Having no anxiety would mean having no feeling/senses and that is no way to live. It takes both time and courage to learn how to control our own fear. We recommend that you seek psychiatrist’s help on dealing with your anxiety attack.
