Exhaustion, Nervousness and Anxiety
Why do some people have a problem with tension and others do not?
This is a query every who experiences stress asks themselves at some particular point or another. Why me?
My experience of agitation is that yes, a few people seem more susceptible than others but that the key trigger tends to be exhaustion. By exhaustion I mean mental, physical, or emotional exhaustion. ( Under physical exhaustion I also include things like diet or substance abuse )
For some it could be exhaustion caused by a busy life and never taking time to release the strain. Folk like that frequently do not notice their stress levels are so high until they get blindsided by a spur-of-the-moment panic episode.
For others it could be an emotional exhaustion due to the loss of a family member or the break of a long-term relationship.
If the anxiety is caused by a traumatic life event it is interesting to note that the person frequently doesn’t experience the stress until the event has passed.
You frequently see folks dealing very well with a crisis but then one or two weeks later when the dust has settled they start to feel the anxiety. It is like they have been in shock and are only now starting to process the experience.
The most important thing to remember about panic episodes or general anxiety is that help is available and it is significant to find help sooner rather than later .
I always recommend visiting your physician first of all to actually decide that it is just anxiety you are dealing with and not a basal physical illness. Once you’re sure it is anxiety that you dealing with , treat it.
Don’t wait!!!!
Burying your head in the sand hoping it will simply be gone next week isn’t an effective way to treat it. It is totally needless to spend months if not years coping with something that may be corrected now!
