What are my anxious thoughts?

A person is borned with some inbuilt charasteristics which resembles like foundation of a building. They may be strong or weak also.I recognize some negative in my personality as lack of concentration,difficult to take decision/state of confusion,emotional,development of fear in challanging situations.
I recall all of these when I was a high school student in 1995.I analyze myself and found that when ever there exist some tough time/challange situation,all of these tends to get heavier on me.Whenever I tried to resist these characteristics in a challanging situation,the result is panic attack & anxiety.
Should I conclude that my foundations are weak due to these characteristics & I have to live with that till my life?

What are my anxious thoughts?

Davit,
I found in many of your posts saying about core beliefs.
What are core beliefs & how can we utilize them to improve ourselves in terms of anxiety & panic attacks?

anxiety management technique & cure...

I have been a victim of anxiety & panic disorders as long as 17 yrs. They disturbed me without any strong reason.I am now fnding myself unable to fight against them.Seemed to be tired of such disorders & they brought lot of disturbances in normal life.
To how much extent they can be cured /managed for living a stress free & peaceful life?

What are my anxious thoughts?

Davit,
I have a tendency of giving up under challanging situations.My head begins to get blank &  anxiety appears on my face clearly whenever there is tough situation.This habit exist im me from my childhood.I take a good step by challanging them in writing & taking a note of them as per guidelines of the course.
But this is a temporary solution.In this fast pace of life our reactions should be instant & as the speed of light as you mentioned;which I lacks.Our decision & action should be firm & of 100% self belief.But it does not exist within me.I remain confused in my decision & always seeks some outside support.
Is this particular is a core belief of mine?I think it is a core belief..
What should I do to change/manage this core belief ?
This seems to be tough & difficult for me as whenever I begins to challange this characteristic, I seems to get anxious 
& panic.

What are my anxious thoughts?

I used to frequently visit the site & try getting learned from it.There developes some sense of hope as I go thru session & thought sharing.But it does not remain consistently.As I returned to my routine life,all anxiety appears to come again and it appears u are back to initial stage.
How can the improvements remain consistently;for a long time;for better life ?

anxiety management technique & cure...

I sometimes really bad & embarrased about my anxiety.Actually it increases whenever I try to stop it.I left my job due to this reason only as I was not able to manage with my anxiety.I remember my friends used to humiliate me because of this very characteristics;but unfortunately I can't share my weakness with them.
During these days I am religiously following activities like yoga,exercise,morning walk,doing my homework etc to keep myself in control.But I fear with future.Does this anxiety will return again when I will be back to my job?Don't know ;but this thought sometimes makes me more sad & full of fear.
Does this anxiety is an integral part of our personality/foundation or is it an inbuilt characteristics?
Sometimes I feel more pain when I get angry about this characteristics?
Any suggestions what to do or how to manage it in more effective manner?

Davit,
Its nice to hear from you everytime I post.Thanks for your gud words.
Actually I find anxiety as one of the disability;as there are physical disabilities.The problem is that I dont accept this disability & I try to behave as a normal person who is constantly chasing up for his worthy goals. You said correct that at very first step the anxiety as a part of our personality is to be accepted.But then difficult for us to accept at a next level.That you find yourself unable to perform in your work due to anxiety.You find yourself unable to take small decisions to move forward your work.
You find yourself that you are far back in the race of your carrer. Everything you build up by struggling your anxiety in last 8 yrs is gone at sudden.At last the anxiety wins & again you find yourself returned to where you have started.
I sometimes find this fight as long lasting & till life.

anxiety management technique & cure...

Davit,
My experience with medicines is not good.Actually I experience that circumstances are my medicines.Whenever circumstances & conditions are favourable then the level of anxiety is quite less or even null also.After leaving my job I left all my medicines;reason they did not help me in my negative circumstances;with too many side effects.I have now switch over to alternative therapy namely homeaopathic & ayurvedic which is common in my country.Really do not know about the success rate but sticking over it from last two months.It is believed they produce slow but steady result.Along with this I am also practicing yoga,breathing relaxation technique,morning walk,exercise,reading & understanding spritiual books like bhagwat gita..I found from last week that practising daily 1 hr of morning walk & light exercise will act as natural antidepressent & able to produce anti anxiety results.The only thing is disciplene of all such activities in a very strict & orderly manner.
CBT as you stated is quite necessary for treatment of anxiety & mental weakness.But that it produce some positiveness when we give a lot of time to it.This will be difficult when we are again back in  job & routine life.
I believe in producing walls of cement but fear if my walls developing merely of soil.Reason being walls of soil collapses soon without offering any resistance to external forces.

anxiety management technique & cure...

love trees,
you make a good thought that we should feel proud about ourselves;for what all we are doing.Actually low self esteem also sometimes provoke us to make negative statements about us.But I am trying to practice for positive statements when ever I do my homework. CBT do helps us to overcome our negativity-I came to know from many pupils here only.
But that human behaviour is to resist changes-this is fact.I think that we can only manage our thoughts for positiveness.We have to accept ourselves as how we are & then take step to improve ourselves only & not changing.If we try to hit the very foundation of our personality it results to big pain & lot of disturbances.

anxiety management technique & cure...

In continuation with course;I identified following points in my personality-

-Thought process disturb
-Unable to take decision;remain confused
-Gives up under pressure/challanging situation/collapse under work pressure
-I get easily hurt by what others comment on me.Sign of grief & ill feeling clearly visible on my face.Remain in state of fear
-Cannot argue with others.Accept that I am wrong all time for any mistake

These problems prevail in me from my childhood.But they now become so problematic in past two years that I collapse almost.I lost my weight considerably & I lost my job due to anxiety produced by above mentioned characteristics.
Any one possessing or familiar with such characteristic;kindly share the corrective action/manage of the situation.

Davit,
Is all these are a part of my core belief ? If yes then can they be corrected?I remember my father also remain fearful but he was able to manage his job,family & society.
In this fast pace of growing world I feel myself as being very slow & backward.It difficult for me to manage my professional life so I left job.I m only 32 now.
I want to change myself.Is it possible at this age ? I remain free these days and have sufficient time for any activities.
Kindly suggest.
