Have you ever goggled your symptom of anxiety before? Of course you have what am I thinking. Funny enough my anxiety would flare up if there was no WiFi where I was going, because I just had to research what this NEW symptom of anxiety was right away. Of course this cycle is one that many many people with constant symptoms of anxiety experience, reason? Because what’s the first line of treatments we have when it comes to dealing with anxiety? Doctors, unfortunately they aren’t too bright when it comes to dealing with a patients anxiety issues, and they are all trained to give the same answers which is medication and psychotherapy. That’s just not good enough for the average person who suffers from an anxiety disorder in my opinion.
Oh That Cycle Of Researching Symptoms Of Anxiety On Dr Google
Once the medication is given to us, the first thing many anxiety sufferers do is of course head back to trusted DR Google. We research the facts, success stories, and failures of this new unknown drug we are about to take. Problem is, keeping track of whether or not the anxiety medication is working or not causes the person dealing with anxiety to feel even MORE stress and anxiety. Than of course the anxiety sufferer doesn’t see the results they are hoping for from the medication (because the whole chemical imbalance theory is flawed), and immediately is faced with two options:
1) continue taking the prescribed medication that they were told will combat their depressed and anxious state.
2) Stop the medication and look for other options
Health anxiety is a very tricky thing, so don’t beat yourself up over the thoughts and symptoms of anxiety you are experiencing on a daily basis. Crazy thing is EVERYONE experiences things such as body zaps, lump in the throat feelings, sweaty palms etc but simply don’t view them as a threat to their lives. Examples of these feelings are for instance when a non anxiety sufferer goes to the movies and tears up, the lump in the throat feeling is present but the link has been made between the movie and the feeling. So the person knows there is no need to alert the inner alarm system that is built into each one of us.
