I’ve been
having a lot of symptoms, such as a tight feeling in my head,
some tingling sensations in the back of my head, and I also feel
like I’m trapped inside my mind. My test results all came
back normal. Can this be anxiety? If so, what can I do to get
rid of my symptoms?
Yes, the symptoms you mentioned are common anxiety symptoms.
Anxiety symptoms are actually symptoms of stress. We call them
anxiety symptoms because anxiety is the stressor. When a body
becomes stressed, it produces symptoms of that stress including
the ones you mentioned.
It’s always a good idea to have new, changing, or persistent
symptoms checked out by your doctor to ensure they aren’t
being caused by another medical condition. But since you’ve
done that and your test results have come back normal, you can
feel confident that they are caused by anxiety.
To get rid of anxiety symptoms, there are two things we recommend:
- Access good self-help information: Accessing good self-help
information can play a major role in the elimination of anxiety
symptoms. Knowing what anxiety is, how anxiety affects the
body, and what to do to reverse the harmful effects of anxiety
can help you work towards the elimination of anxiety-caused
symptoms.
NOTE: There are NO quick-fix or “miracle” solutions
to get rid of anxiety-caused symptoms. Knowing HOW to get rid
of them, and then taking diligent action IS the way to eliminate
symptoms. Fortunately, there are a number of natural and practical
things you can do to get rid of anxiety-caused symptoms. Chapter
4 in the member’s area of our website lists and explains
them.
- Work with an experienced anxiety disorder
coach/counselor/therapist:
Overcoming anxiety is more than just getting rid of symptoms.
Since anxiety symptoms are caused by being overly anxious, and
since being overly anxious is caused by unhealthy behaviors,
to truly overcome anxiety and its symptoms you need to address
the underlying factors of your anxiety so that you can eliminate
the root of the anxiety problem and not just the symptoms of
the problem. Once you eliminate the problem, the symptoms disappear
by default. This is where the help of an experienced anxiety
disorder therapist can be beneficial. An experienced therapist
can help you identify and address the underlying factors of your
anxiety so that you can resolve them and move forward in life
in a healthy way. Doing so eliminates anxiety as a disorder for
good.
Anxietycentre.com was established for this very reason: To
provide leading-edge self-help materials in the members area
of our website, and to provide experienced personal coaches/counselors/therapists
who are well trained in helping others overcome anxiety. Since
our recommended therapists personally experienced and overcame
anxiety disorder in their own lives, as well as have been professionally
trained as therapists, they know what they are talking about.
We believe the experience of walking the walk is a valuable asset
in the recovery process.
Since the most effective way to overcome anxiety is with the
combination of good self-help materials and therapy, you may
want to consider becoming a member of our website and work
with one of our recommended coaches/counselors/therapists.
As an added benefit, if you choose to work with one of our recommended
therapists, you will receive a free membership to the member’s
area of our website as long as you are regularly meeting with
your therapist. The member’s area of our website contains
over 800 pages of helpful information about anxiety disorder.
Many of our members tell us it is the best information available
anywhere.
With the proper information and help, you can overcome anxiety
disorder once and for all. But please consider this: Anxiety
disorder almost never goes away by itself. You have to work at
recovery before anxiety disorder is resolved. It has been our
experience, though, that anyone can do it with the right information
and help.
