How to Get Rid of Anxiety, Panic, and PhobiaDo you feel like a stampede of elephants is running through your head? Do you feel like you cannot take anymore? Do you feel like along with the elephants a few doves and swans are flying around making your head light? If you feel this way often you may have medical issues, however if this comes and go you have an inability to deal with stress, which causes you anxiety, panic, stress and sometimes phobia. What can you do? Well, first you can take a couple short tests to see where your stress level is and move ahead. Do not let the term test raise your blood level. The test score is based on the count from one to five. The lowest number is one of course and the highest is five. Thus, once you decide your level add your score at the bottom. If the score is high, you need to find ways to reduce the stress in your life. If the score is low, you may want to work to improve to avoid running into problems later. Test: Symptoms of Stress thru Physical Response: __Rashes ___Change of Appetite ___ Weight Fluctuating ___Excessive Alcohol Consumption __ Colds ___ breathing Problems ___ Insomnia ___ Tension ___ Headaches ___ Stomach problems ___ Fatigue ___ aches ___ palpitating heart Mental Stress Test ___ Morbid or unusual thinking habits ___ Boredom ___ Difficulty Concentrating ___ confusion ___ Negative Thoughts ___ dull sense ___ light or heavy mind ___ forgetful ___ Lethargy ___ Difficulty feeling motivated Emotional Stress Test ___ Mood Swings ___ Anxiety ___ Feeling Blue ___ irritable ___ nightmares ___ nervous laughter ___ emotionalism elevation ___ negative thinking ___ depression ___ crying often ___ Frustration ___ easy angered ___ discouraged ___ cussing often ___ lack of joy Relational Stress Test ___ Isolation ___ sex drive interruption ___ blaming ___ resentful ___ distrusting ___ complaining often ___ lashing at others often ___ argument prone ___ intolerant ___ Disagreeing Spiritual Stress Test __ Helplessness ___ apathy ___ hopelessness __ cynicism ___ pessimistic ___ doubtful __ Lack of faith ___ emptiness __ strong desire to prove self to others ___ no one loves me __ cannot forgive others often ___ martyrdom ___ loss of direction in life ___ feels no meaning or purpose exists Total Score: _________ Now, I want you to look at the tests again and place checkmarks in the boxes that you believe could pose a threat to your health and mental being. Most all symptoms are normal for most of us some of the time, but it is unhealthy all of the time. One of the things that helped me to learn to cope with stress and deal with life, emotions, and the like was to let go and let God. Even if you do not believe in God, let go and let him anyway. Another tactic is to learn to accept what you cannot change and change what you can. Taking it one day at a time, or one minute at a time for some of us is also helpful. As for procrastinating, train to get it done now so you do not have to worry about it later. The more effort you apply to coming out of the state of mind, the more chance you have of living healthy without worrying about anxiety and panic. Now, to finalize the testing I want you to sit down and think about what each of the meanings and definitions are to the words listed in the test and find positive meaning while applying it to your life.
