Q&A: Where do I start when my anger/anxiety issues are affecting my health and relationship?

April 6th, 2011

Question by littlemomma4544: Where do I start when my anger/anxiety issues are affecting my health and relationship?
I have always had anger/anxiety issues, but recently, I have come to a point where I can no longer deal with them on my own. A friend suggested starting with a general practitioner, as I am having health issues stemming from my anger/anxiety, such as headaches, weight gain, and stomach trouble. Is this the best place to start? I’ve made an appointment for this coming Monday. What should I tell this doctor?

Best answer:

Answer by Ano
Yes definately see a GP. He/she will refer you to a specialist who can help. Write down everything that you are feeling and hand it over the the GP. I am going to see the doc for a simular reason and I find that it helps to write everything down because when I’m under pressure I tend to forget.

Description:
The goal of this study was to examine whether panic mediates the relationship between fear, helplessness, and horror (PTSD criterion A2) and dissociation at the time of trauma. The study sample included 709 police officers and 317 peer-nominated civilians who had been exposed to a variety of critical incidents. Participants filled out measures of critical incident exposure, PTSD criterion A2, panic, and dissociation. Results indicate that together, physical and cognitive symptoms of panic completely mediate the relationship between criterion A2 and dissociation in civilians, and partially mediate that relationship in police. These results provide support for the idea that panic mediates the relationship between fear, helplessness, and horror (criterion A2) and dissociation at the time of trauma. The results also raise the possibility, however, that the mediational role of panic may be further moderated by additional variables.

8 Relationships Stress Relief Tips

June 21st, 2010

Stress – it affects us all. We cannot escape it, but we can minimize it. In a busy, stressful world, let’s review eight top ways to lessen stress from impacting our lives.

1. Don’t take stress home. Just like when at work we usually focus on work related issues, we can focus on other things then work issues once we go home. Now, since stress arises from thoughts you have about your circumstances, giving things their rightful time and space can help you manage stress a long way.

2 – Nourish your relationships with honest and clear communication. Staying away from misinterpretations by kindness assists reduce stress. Give place to appreciation even if you had a hard day.

3 – Keep things in proportion. Imbalance is a known stress inducers. It can be felt by all kins of exaggerated act like overwork, over consuming of alcohol or overspending money. Even over seeking for attention by one party might contribute to emotional stress. Keep everything in moderation.

4 – Healthy options should be considered. Take walks, with your partner if possible. Talk or chat lightly. There’s no need to take huge hikes, a few kilometers a day can give you a chance to get fresh air, some exercise and some quality bonding time. Where possible leave cell phones behind – quality time with a partner should be with that partner alone, not with whoever happens to call.

5 – Sharing and listening has a reciprocal affected. Talk about your stresses and concerns, but also listen to your partners and other family members. Openness and transparency can resolve many conflicts before it is too late. Secrets are some of the worst stress inducers.

6 – Let go of controlling over decisions. Being open to other opinions better the atmosphere by making the other party feel appreciated. It also can provide you with crucial decision making information you would not otherwise have.

7 – Share successes, and be prepared to share failures. Be prepared to encourage partners or family members to take opportunities that might worry them; be equally prepared to be a shoulder to cry on should those opportunities fail.

8 – Do not forget the present for the future’s account. Being preoccupied by making money not only raises stress levels, but can hurt enjoying your families present. Be attentive for the power of being present with your family and partner. No one will remember what you said, but everyone will always remember how you made them feel.

3 Steps To Exceed Unexpected Stress

June 21st, 2010

Stress along other parts in our life may usually be under control. Yet there are unforeseen abrupt events that might radically shake our world. In such times even the smallest and simplest things are at risk of being exaggerated to monstrous proportions and might drown us in stress. Still keeping track of basic steps will make a big difference.

Physical harm and a sense of loss are the two universal causes for sudden and unexpected stress. The first is the hardest to treat since its implications are long term, impact most aspects of our lives and takes longer to cope. With loss, on the other hand, while abrupt and surprising, after a time of mourning and grief, we would usually find our natural way back to life.

There is also very little that can be done beforehand to plan for dealing with an unexpected injury. Personal injury insurance payments may help financially but it still won’t help physically or emotionally. The unanticipated effect of injury can impact the lives of an entire family, not just the injured individual, and put stresses on their familial ties over a wide spectrum of aspects.

We usually see the real nature of friend when they are really needed and it is very comforting to know we have someone to lean on. Still, the emotional, financial and time management weight on the other party can contribute for arising stress.

In such case, the first and most important thing is to organize and prioritize our thoughts. Rationally observe the affect of the situation on all parties involved. Make up your mind how to spread responsibility, reduce tension and look for substitute ways to cope. You may notice first signs of inner peace as you keep your thoughts in more order.

Another important guide is to think about other affected people around you, too. Acknowledge their annoyance and needs. Draw up a list of who needs to know about the situation, who might be counted upon to help, and things that need to be done to help relieve the burden. After all, mutual understanding and consideration for others is a main factor for a reduced amount of stress, bitterness and conflicts.

Now, while physical healing is the end goal, remember to separate that from melancholy. May be you’ll be upset by the unexpected stress, but people find it easier to recover if worrying about how things are done, during the recovery period, is disregarded. One of the things you’re really going to love about putting aside worrying as an important factor in recovery process is the regaining feeling of self-power and self-control. You can give yourself the chance to make it work on your own pace. Can’t you?
