Are you suffering with work related stress? so many people are in jobs that no longer meet their emotional or intellectual needs but are too scared to hand their notice. Many people fear change or feeling “outside of the circle”. Are you often nervous or fearful and unable to stop worrying? do you experience feelings of inferiority? do you get easily annoyed or irritable and afraid that something dreadful is going to happen? do you suffer from panic attacks and anxiety? do you constantly feel stressed out about everything and everyone for no apparent reasons? everyone reacts differently to stress, it may include anxiety and panic attacks, or it could affect the digestive system or makes you feel tired or run down.
Avoidance is a common behaviour adopted, by some, to attempt to control the situation, for example, avoiding certain places or people or only feeling able to do certain things if restrictions are in place. Do you recognise any of these actions in yourself? avoiding or delaying responding to invites or avoiding speaking or contacting someone so that you can ‘play for time’ until you can think of a way to avoid the social event or meeting. Leaving the opening of emails in your inbox or putting off opening your email inbox all together “if i don’t see it isn’t there and i don’t have to do anything about it”.
What does anxiety feel like?
However, anxiety is as much a social issue as it is a personal one. We live in a world full of pressures, expectations and obligations. So, if you come for therapy with high levels of anxiety, the first step is
to help you realise that your anxiety is part of a bigger social picture that you operate in, and secondly that deep-d
own anxiety is often a symptom of something else: loneliness, existential fears, or identity issues. What lies at the heart of anxiety is the need to control people and events in your world. If total control is not possible, this is where it all collapses.
Stress and anxiety exist along the same continuum. We often say we feel stressed when we feel overwhelmed by too much to do or a task that seems herculean and unmanageable. However, a certain amount of stress is necessary for us to live our daily lives. Without stress there would be little compulsion to get out of bed in the morning and go to work to ensure our livelihood. At slightly increased levels, stress and anxiety can help motivate us to prepare for key events such as interviews or exams. There is a school of thought that stress and anxiety are evolutionary functions.
