What is Anxiety Disorder Like?

My boyfriend has anxiety disorder and I really want to know what it’s like for people with it. Please describe how some of you feel, so maybe I can understand better what he is going through?

I know it must be hard for you as my husband has a hard time dealing with me sometimes. Anxiety disorder is one of those things that's hard to understand even when you have the disorder yourself. I have had anxiety attacks and such since I was a very young girl. I'm going to try to explain this the best way I know how from personal experiences.

I have irrational fears, like when I go in a gas station, I fear that somebody might come in and rob the store and shoot us all, or if I am out by myself, that somebody might kidnap and/or rape me. When I was little, I used to have to pack a suitcase every night and put it by the door in case the house burned down. Anxiety disorder causes my mind to go so fast around these thoughts I can't think of anything else. My stomach hurts, my blood pressure rises, and I often can't breathe and start crying, especially when I have bad ones.

Anti Anxiety Medications for Anxiety Disorder

Are prescription anti anxiety medications the way to go if anxiety disorder doesn't seem to be going away by itself?

Prescription anti anxiety medications can help many people. But since you're asking on an alternative medicine web site, I suppose you're asking for alternatives. I'd suggest natural remedies first. In my opinion, plants are less harmful to the body than concentrated synthesized chemicals.

Above all, get those anxious thoughts out of your head. Talk to someone you can trust, or journal your thoughts. You'd be surprised how thoughts stop repeating in your head once you give voice to them. If you know you're suffering with anxiety disorder, then you are self-aware enough to help yourself through this.

Alternative Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder

I have heard of St. Johns Wart. It is supposed to help with anxiety and depression.

I also get up in the morning and make goal sheets. I write down 5-6 things that I want to get done in the day. Sometimes they aren't hard things or social anxiety related, but sometimes they are.

Usually it's things like clean a room, get the laundry done, cook dinner, go shopping, call a friend, invite a friend to lunch, etc.

Anti Anxiety Medication - Zombie Symptoms

Will anti anxiety medications make me a zombie and what would the symptoms be?

A small dose of Xanax should take the edge off and allow your mind and body to relax.

Hard to imagine right now, but having a relaxed (and usually therefore more constructive) approach to life for a while (a few weeks or months) generally has a way of removing the things that caused you stress.

Anxiety Disorder from Guilt

Can anxiety disorder stem from guilt about something a person did wrong in their past?

I do believe this is a great deal of the source of anxiety disorder and OCD, in many cases.

It is almost like a predisposed fear of something bad that is going to happen to you because you deserved it for what you did, or perceived you did, and never got over.

I'm only a teenager, so I can't really make the choice to see a therapist on my own, and my parents don't believe in seeing any type of therapist for mental illnesses.

Use of Buspar for Anxiety is not a Sign of Weakness

"I didn�t want to have to depend on Buspar to control my fear and worry. In fact, I always thought there was a stigma attached to turning to medicine for help."

"Many feel embarrassed about their anxiety and have problems reaching out for the support that is available. We try to be strong, independent. We may adopt the �I can do this by myself attitude.�

We tend to personalize our problem, as if there's something wrong about us. We feel discouraged, weak, maybe even ashamed that we struggle so."

Passive aggressive disorder is no longer a diagnosis, and passive aggressive behavior typically stems from anger at some person or event that a person might have taken to be directed at them and instead of reacting directly back at the source they do a covert act for revenge.

Ease Stress and Anxiety

How can I ease stress and anxiety over relationships, career and accommodation?

Relationships are not static. They are ever changing. If they become static for too long, they can become extinct like the dinosaurs.

All of these stages require change, learning and exploration of new territory. If one or both members in the relationship become rigid and resistant to needed changes the relationship could end in divorce.
