One of the things that direct our lives is our anxieties. Each of us has different concerns, but almost all of us have anxiety. Some of us worry about the future: Will I be able to find a job after finishing school? What happens if I can't find it, what will I do, I'll be finished, I'll be ruined. Some of us have concerns about school/work: Will the exam or meeting go well? If not, how will I make up for it? Some of us have concerns about our health: I have a terrible headache and it doesn't go away. Is there something bad going on? Could there be something in my brain? Anxiety about losing someone: I called my mother and she didn't answer the phone. I wonder why he didn't open it? Did something bad happen? How can I live without it? Of course, we can extend the list of concerns much further.
The basis of all of these examples is anxiety. If you have noticed, there is always a rush of negative thoughts and thinking of the worst. If it doesn't happen, if it doesn't, if it happened; that is, “–se and –sa” s. Don't dwell on a hypothetical situation. That's why anxiety and fear are different things. There is something real about fear. For example, in general, thinking about what if you get hit by a car and being afraid is anxiety. However, it is the fear you experience when you see a car coming towards you. There is a real danger and it is normal to panic. You may have seen or heard people saying they can't breathe in crowded environments. When these people's anxiety levels are intense, they cannot use public transportation and do not even want to leave the house. In fact, people aren't actually doing anything to prevent him from breathing. Test anxiety is a situation experienced especially during important university and job-related exams. A person who experiences test anxiety at a certain level prepares for the exam, gets motivated and ultimately succeeds. For example, does a person who says, "Oh, I can do it, I will pass, what if I can't do it, never mind", make an effort to prepare for the exam? A person with intense exam anxiety may not understand anything when studying due to anxiety, may experience physical problems of psychological origin such as fainting before and during the exam, and may have difficulties in remembering, reading and marking correctly, and concentrating. In short, he actually fails because of his intense anxiety.
Anxiety creates changes in the brain and body. Because the thought of anxiety is perceived as a real danger in the brain. Protect the person in the brain It changes the way the body works for the purpose of exercise: Increased heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, flushing, shivering, chills, muscle tension, numbness/tingling, dry mouth, tingling, dizziness, pain, facial flushing, chest tightness, stomach pain. It manifests itself as nausea and cold hands.
Carefree people are people who are sometimes envied in society, sometimes criticized, and evaluated as a positive or negative feature depending on the situation. Their numbers are also very few. Experiencing anxiety in today's life is normal to some extent. When anxiety is at a normal level, it is helpful and necessary for us to achieve things, survive, and protect ourselves.
But if anxiety takes over you, it becomes a psychological disorder that affects your life and physical health very negatively. Anxiety disorder, also known as anxiety disorder, is a disease that requires treatment and there are different types. In addition to anxiety, people with anxiety disorders also have feelings of pessimism, excitement, tension, helplessness, inadequacy, irritability and hopelessness. They constantly need to avoid situations that cause anxiety and organize their lives accordingly. For example, people with claustrophobia cannot use elevators and take the stairs even to very high floors. Those who cannot climb the stairs either do not go at all or barely get into the elevator with a familiar person. People who are concerned about their health visit many doctors constantly to avoid getting sick. When they get sick, they think they will die and experience great panic.
It should also be noted that phobias are also anxiety disorders. People who have to make long land journeys because they have a plane phobia worry about what if the plane crashes. When the probability of a plane crashing is compared to the probability of a road accident, the probability of a plane crashing remains low. People with snake phobia cannot stand seeing snakes or looking at their pictures, even on television. The vast majority of these people have never encountered a real snake in their lives, and the probability of encountering one is not high. When we look at its impact on life, of course, not every phobia is the same. For example, closed space anxiety, which we call "Claustrophobia", Ophidiophobia It affects life more than the snake phobia we call bi. Another point that needs to be emphasized is the concept of "Panic Attack", which has become frequently mentioned in our society. Panic Attack is a condition accompanied by feelings of detachment from reality that occur suddenly without any reason, such as not being able to breathe/choking, having a heart attack, dying, or losing your mind. It is an anxiety disorder and affects people very negatively. Having a panic attack scares people, tires the body, and makes them afraid of it happening again or when they are outside, at work, etc. They are worried about it happening. For these reasons, there are people who have to quit their jobs, cannot be alone, and cannot fulfill their daily duties. Untreated anxiety disorder will also deteriorate physical health.
Anxiety is in the background, an event that has been experienced, a situation/object etc. that has been coded incorrectly or negatively by the mind. It contains . Disturbance in the brain's neurochemicals (hormones) may have occurred. Experiencing intense stress can also show its psychological effects through anxiety.
In cases where anxiety makes itself felt intensely, it will be good to do breathing exercises, try to concentrate on something else, and think that it will pass. However, these are temporary solutions. Anxiety disorder is not a condition that goes away on its own. You should definitely get help from experts (psychiatrist and psychologist). Medication and psychotherapy are effective in its treatment.
