Treating nervous behavior doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg joining a special anxiety-based institute, or waste your precious time with psychotherapy. For one thing, analyzing to death your past may not get you anywhere. Rehashing your old memories may do more harm than good. You can go over and over again what happened to you as a child or young adult that forced anxiety and nervous behavior onto you, but it will not cure it. More often than not, knowing “why” is not enough. To get treatment for nervous behavior, one would have to look into their current thinking patterns and learn to change them, not analyze how they got them in the first place.

Treatment for nervous behavior:

One popular method to provide treatment for nervous behavior is cognitive based therapy. It is likely the only traditional method used by psychologists to treat nervous behavior, anxiety, and panic that actually works. It is the only method psychologists use to help change the thought patterns of the anxiety sufferer. Most other methods try to dig through the patient’s history. Digging into your history is definitely not a guarantee that that you will erase your personal history forever, or learn to properly deal with it. Cognitive based therapy will force you to question the way you think about the world around you. You will learn to react differently to your causes of stress, hopefully in a more positive manner.

While cognitive based therapy does usually require a trained psychologist to assist you, the effects it brings occur are on a much shorter time span than traditional psychotherapy-type sessions. So it won’t cost nearly as much as psychotherapy.  Nervous treatment shouldn’t take a lifetime to recover from, nor should it cost more than you could ever afford to pay.

Thankfully, there is a way that is even cheaper, and that’s the DIY (do it yourself) method. They are a few books on the market that allow you to give yourself all the benefits of cognitive based therapy, but without the psychologist and without the financial turmoil. Such books make you ask questions about your current predicament, and make you ask questions about the thought processes that put you in such predicaments.

I remember when I first started to experience symptoms of anxiety and panic when I was in my late teens. The concept of being in constant fear was very new to me. I had grown up a worry wart, but the fear wasn’t constant. Suddenly I was faced with the largest obstacle I had ever faced and wasn’t sure how to tackle it.

My first reaction was medication. My doctor at the time game me xanax and I started to take it every day. At first it seemed to work pretty well…the fear seemed to go away within an hour of taking it. I could go throughout my day without fear of another pesky panic attack. But it wasn’t more than a few months later, I ran out of the pills and my doctor refused to fill my prescription so soon. I basically had to go cold turkey, which was not a fun experience, let me tell you. I started experiencing panic and anxiety even worse than before.

A few months later, I was granted the opportunity to start taking more xanax, this time by a different doctor. But I refused it. It seems at this point I had gotten a bit of a paranoia about taking any kind of drugs whatsoever.

Years went by with panic and anxiety coming and going, and I still needed a way to treat my anxiety. I had a few major panic attacks and I knew something had to be done…sooner rather than later. Drugs were out of the question. I was absolutely paranoid of getting withdrawals like I had when I was a teenager. I found it ironic how a drug that was supposed to treat an anxiety symptom ended up making me feel paranoid about taking it. I needed a paranoid treatment: one that I wasn’t so paranoid about taking.

The Paranoid Treatment:

I had called it my paranoid treatment because it was my alternative to taking medication, which made me paranoid. It was the same treatment paranoid people take because they hate drugs. It was all natural so I never had to worry about nasty withdrawals or side-effects. It was basically a mix between cognitive based therapy and a DIY solution, all in a book form. After reading this book, I’ve escaped panic, anxiety, and even drug paranoia (still need some medications to live, of course). I only look back at the hard times so I can help others and show them how to dig through the mess.

What’s your dream Want to give your vision a jumpstart Write down your goals and use these questions to speed up delivery of your dream.

1. What’s your highest priority this lifetime

What’s most important for you to experience, explore or embrace this time around Until you answer this question, your life goals will be off purpose. Unaligned with your inner passion, your intentions will lack the power to attract the people and situations necessary to become a reality.

Get clued into your true joy. What activities turned you on as a child What are your hobbies now When your goals are aligned with your soul purpose, synchronicity kicks in to guide you to your target. When you intuit and own your unique essence and calling, assistance will flow to you from every earthly and heavenly source.

2. Is this your dream, or someone else’s

Are your goals your own choice, or what others think you should strive for Do you want to look back in your old age and wish you had followed your passion Will you regret having “played it safe “

Is it selfish to go after your own dream What joy can you give to others if you haven’t given it to yourself first

You have a divine right to listen to your heart. You have a social obligation to follow your dream. Only then can you fulfill your destiny and make the earthly contribution you were born to make.

3. Do you really, really want this dream

Do you bound out of bed every morning to pursue your vision Or is it a lukewarm dream you chase because it sounds meaningful Only the Real McCoy will generate enough energy to manifest itself in the world.

4. Are you settling for less than

Are you resigned to accepting less than your full share of love, health and success this lifetime Have you compromised and sacrificed your dream to death

Anything short of living your true passions will never make you happy. Do you want to arrive at the Pearly Gates with the regret of not marrying that one captivating person, starting that fun business, or seeing that exotic part of the world you always wanted to visit

5. Is your dream actually just a means to some other dream

Is your goal the ultimate end in itself, or merely a limited means to that end Isn’t it really the new car itself you want, rather than the money-the means-to buy the new car More to the core, isn’t it really a renewed sense of self-worth you desire, rather than the new car or house to impress the family and neighbors And isn’t it really happiness you want, rather than the picture-perfect mate, job or body

Focus on the experience you want to create, not the physical form that may-or may not-bring you that experience.

6. What will you feel like when you reach your dream

Personal passion fuels a vision. Dive into the thrill and exhilaration of the feeling of living your dream. Every moment you can, drink in the joy of having your goal.

The Hawaiian Kahuna say, “Where your creative attention flows, so flows your life.” Is your daily attention feeding your dream As the TV public service announcement reminds us, “It’s midnight. Do you know where your children are ” Hey, in your life, it’s high noon! Do you know where your creative excitement is flowing

It’s high time you manifested your aspirations. Dynamic, satisfying creations are nurtured with love and care as a flower in a garden.

7. How will you benefit from getting your dream

Get specific about the benefits you’ll receive from achieving your vision. Write down these pluses so they will sink in as motivators. What exactly would happen if you made a lot of money doing something you love How would you approach your life differently if you allowed people to love and support you What would you do with more vitality and health

8. What steps can you take today toward your dream

Don’t defer your dream. Set up supports and systems around you to instantly translate your intentions into action. Jump on every opportunity that is in line with your purpose and vision.

Keep the momentum going. No matter how hectic life gets, pledge to take at least one action a day. Even the smallest actions-jotting down a new idea, reading a single page, or making one phone call-can start to add up.

Are there smaller projects that lead to your larger dream that can give you pleasure in the meantime If the dream is to run a marathon, train for a local fun-run first. And find a way to measure your progress. Track those little wins-by writing in a journal or telling a friend.

9. Are you telling yourself: “I can’t have my dream “

Most people don’t believe they can live their dream. Either their belief system has them believing they can’t make a living doing what they love, or they feel they don’t deserve their dream. To avoid the pain of feeling they can’t have their dream, people often keep their dream so buried they can’t remember they ever had a dream.

Everyone has a dream! And everyone is destined to fulfill that purpose. Why wait

10. Are you afraid of getting your dream

Statistically, more heart attacks occur when “good” things happen, than when “bad” things happen! Getting your dream is life-threatening! Of course, realizing your dream is only threatening to your old experience of yourself and your life-you know, the one that’s boring-or paining-you to death!

Change is scary. Find a way to move the energy of fear. The only way to avoid feeling fear is to avoid living altogether!
 

Because of different external factors, people will often experience panic attacks that eventually turn into a panic disorder. Studies would show that out of seventy five people, one individual will experience panic attacks, without even knowing what is going on. It is important for us to know the signs and symptoms of the two so that we could know how we can fight them.

A person experiencing a panic disorder may be someone who has had panic attacks or may have experienced traumatic experiences and often that person will not think about anything else aside from that experience. Being associated with panic attacks, a panic disorder is most of the time caused by repeatedly experiencing panic attacks. If you know someone that possesses the following symptoms, it would be best that you inform that person to see a doctor. If not treated early, the condition could become worse. In severe instances, this problem can even lead to suicide.

A person will most likely experience panic attacks when something they most fear is present in their environment. This may include but may not be limited to:

1. Loss of a very special person in one’s life

2. Stress - most of the time is being caused by work overload

3. Accident

4. Surgery

5. Childbirth

Things mentioned above are some of the possible reasons that someone can experience frightening feelings, which may result in panic attacks, which can eventually lead to a panic disorder.

Let’s review some of the warning signs and symptoms that may indicate whether you are having panic attacks, and to be able to take proper action to further prevent having a panic disorder.

-heavy sweating

-difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath

-pain, discomfort

-irritability

-chills

-nausea

-palpitation

-sleepless nights

-disorganized thoughts

-flight of ideas

Most of the time, those who are experiencing this type of condition can be treated by encouraging them to think about the situations that they fear the most, and to deal with the different traumatic conditions and try to understand the reaction to those kinds of situations. Why is this relevant you might ask? Before treating any kind of disorder, we should first know where it really started. Once it has been identified, it would be much easier for experts to determine the root cause of that person’s reactions and thus helping to understand why a particular person responds to these types of situations and eventually break the chain of that panic disorder for good.

Aside from proper counseling, medications for a panic disorder may also be given, with a doctor’s prescription of course. Most examples would be strong anti-depressants. You cannot just decide on your own what kind of drug to take. Most of them cannot be bought over the counter and may have negative effects that would include depression, hallucinations, and sometimes drug dependency that would sometimes worsen your panic disorder. So being under a doctor’s care is vital. Your doctor will be knowledgeable enough to help you overcome everything that you are going through.

Sadly, a panic disorder cannot be cured overnight. This can be a long process. Having effective counseling sessions, will help you overcome that disorder and continue living a normal life with fewer worries. Panic attacks and panic disorder are not dangerous at all, but can be frightening and terrorizing for the people that suffer from these problems.

How to be always Happy

Life is nature’s most precious gift to mankind. Life is precious . It is sacred. Its every moment is to be enjoyed and cherished , Unfortunately most of people instead of enjoying it , make a mess of it, destroy it , desecrate it. Psychologists for centuries have been searching the reason for this utter unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life and have proposed one or more of the remedies. But the most effective and rapid antidote to all depression, anxiety, worry, stress etc. is a very simple technique. This actually is not a technique but a very simple fact of life which most of people do not notice; consequently they remain happy throughout their life. Let me explain this simple fact of life in a little detail.

You must have noticed in your every day experience that suppose you are racing along a highway and you are searching for an exit from where you can move on to the side lane. But when it comes you just miss it . Why? Because your mind is absorbed in other thoughts. You are not mentally present in that moment. Either you are thinking of something in the past or pondering over something in the future and so you miss the exit even if it is very much there.

Here lies the point. We as human beings confuse our brain with either thoughts (mostly unhappy) of the past or apprehensions about the future. Whereas the fact of the matter is that the brain is made to accept only present moment thoughts. So what happens is that we are physically present in a given situation but mentally we are either in the past or in the future so we miss countless opportunities which come to met us in the present and also confuse our brain . The result is even more unhappiness and stress. So it becomes a viscous cycle. Now the natural question arises what is the way out of all this.

You will be surprised to know that the remedy is quite simple and very easy to comprehend. The only time we have is present. Past is dead and future is not sure. Only present is reality of life every thing else is an illusion , a fantasy. We should try to live as much as possible in the present and leave the past and future. As the celebrated Psychologist Dale Carnegie has put it ” Learn to live in day-tight compartments”. Yes To-DAY is the only day you have. Now is the only time you have. If you want to act , act NOW. If you want to express love to somebody do it NOW. If you want to tell somebody how much you love her/him do it now. Forget about past mistakes and future worries. Take right decisions NOW. If you have noticed some personality traits in yourself which need improvement , make effort to improve NOW. The world famous Psychologist and inspirational writer Dr. Wayne Dyer in his book The Sky is the Limit says that when a person performs a certain task with full present moment participation of body and mind then there remains no limit to his achievement. He can do marvels.

So the conclusion of all this discussion is that the moment you make your brain think only in the present, no worry, no anxiety, no stress, no depression, no anger no frustration whatsoever remains. Try it , it really works. Always keep remembering yourself that the only time you have is now and the only moment you have is the present moment. See it is such a simple point but many people miss it and constantly brood over past events or fear the future. It follows that if you want to live happily and do not want the rest of your life to follow the same pattern as it has followed hitherto then my sincere advice is to learn to live in the present and then you will feel as if buy magic every negative thought, ever unhappy thought has vanished and you will feel much relieved and energetic.

When Kim Basinger stepped up to collect her Oscar for her performance in L.A. Confidential, the words she had been rehearsing for her acceptance speech just wouldn’t come out.

She was having a panic attack. If this ever happens to you, you’ll be able to identify with the situation.

Kim is one of a number of show business personalities who admit to suffering from the disorder. She also says she has agoraphobia and social phobia. Her anxiety problems, she reveals, go back to her childhood. When she was at school her worst fear was being asked to read aloud to the class. Ultimately, she became so afraid of going to school that her teachers thought she was having a nervous breakdown.

Barbra Streisand, one of the most commercially and critically successful female entertainers in modern entertainment history, had her stage career interrupted for almost 20 years. It began as long ago as the 1960s, when she forgot the words to several songs. Afraid that she would be embarrassed by forgetting her lyrics again and be held up for ridicule, she abandoned doing live performances in front of audiences. Eventually she found she was able to keep her anxiety under control.

A similar situation applied to Sir Laurence Olivier, a towering figure of the British stage and one of the most admired actors of the 20th century. In his autobiography, Olivier said he suffered from social phobia for five years because he was afraid he would forget his lines.

It might be reassuring to know that showbiz personalities such as Kim Basinger, Barbra Streisand or Laurence Olivier can fall victim to this distressing complaint, and that it’s possible to overcome the condition.

Whether it’s described as a panic attack, social anxiety disorder or social phobia, it’s known that over five million people in the USA experience distress in situations where other people, particularly strangers, might be looking at them-even while they’re doing something as ordinary as eating or writing in public.

There are a variety of ways of treating panic attacks, not necessarily involving medication or therapy. Alternative remedies and life coaching have been helpful in many cases, and sometimes the solution can be simply a matter of changing your view of what is happening to you.

I talked to a lot of people about anxiety, and most of them bring up a common question. How come it seems that more people today have anxiety than ever before? Well, that is a really good question! You go back even 20 years ago and things were a whole lot simpler. The Internet was not yet mainstream. People were not news junkies yet, and people were not as rushed as they are now.

So, what has happened to us? What I think happened to us is were always trying to get more time out of the day then is actually possible. I mean people are running to pick up coffees and donuts and other things before they go to work. Then they are rushing to get TO work. Once they get to work than their rushing through the day in general and then during their lunch hour they may be running to get things done during that time.

When they are done with work there rushing to get home. Once they get home they are rushing to get the kids to soccer practice. No time to sit down and have dinner in this day and age - no sir! It’s not like it was years ago.

Now, you get food by running to some fast food place that more than likely, had its all beef patties shipped in from another country anyway. God knows where those french fries came from or what they cook those in anyways!

Then, after the soccer game it is time to rush home so the kids can do their homework and you have to rush to get any type of chores done around the house. You and your spouse barely have any time to talk and then you go to bed.

You get the next morning and repeat the whole process. So, they is your answer to WHY so many people have anxiety in this day and age. If we as a society do not slow down and smell the roses anytime soon than this “anxiety issue” is only going to get worse.
