From last one week I am going thru morning walk,light exercise & yoga .To some extent I feel that this is a natural antidepressent & an anti anxiety tonic.But This should be practised DAILY with time around 1 to 1.5 hr. Shri Shri Ravishankar (art of living)in India has developed a complete package;a blend of exercise,yoga,aasans & meditation technique called as 'Sudarshan Kriya' which is a powerful tool against anxiety & depression.But this activity should be done under supervision of trainer & with a time table.
Sacred mantras of Vedas like Gayatri Mantra & Bhagwad Gita also helps to keep mind in control & in generation of positiveness.
I used to read positive quotes everyday since my high school days.I remember reading quotes related to power of mind;that everything is possible;give a chance to yourself;you will succeed one day..etc etc.
It was pretty inspiring for me off course despite of my anxiety & negativity I reached to a good level in my carrier.But that a day comes when everything is lost and nothing remains.So at this stage now these thoughts hardly produces any encouragement.
Because we thought that our capability is limited & its really difficult to expose ourselves to challanges.
Sometimes it produces embarrasement...we fear facing challanges & a person of very limited capability.
Anxiety is like slow poison to our physical & mental health.It slowly incorporates negativity to our mind & body which further develops roots of depression.This poison slowly captures our thoughts & then disturbs the pattern of thoughts.
Our thoughts then starts converting from positive to negative.Medication rarely helps in controlling of thoughts.
CBT,self help & alternative therapies provides a certain level to manage our thoughts
Kindly share how u guys maintain yourself in negative circumstances & how you manage your anxiety in critical conditions.
You used the word automatic.It made me to think that I do not do things automatic.I remain in a state of confusion & disturbances.After that I do some work for which I am not confident & worry about the results.My facial expression & style of work reflect that worry.So the work is not done automatically & at speed of light.I feel lot of internal disturbance while doing some assignment.I sometimes blame external factors for that;but a normal person is unaffected by all such factors and he does his work with a clear stand on what he is doing.Should I believe that this is my real personality & it can not be improved?
But really I want to improve.Should I start developing some specific solutions for such "disability.
How should I guide myself for improvement in this specific area?
Personality disorders are sometimes becomes disturbing elements to us.I feel very angry on myself that what has happenned injustice with me in my past.I tends to become angry & disturbed due to it.I would have responded to the pupil who used to insult me & put me on pressure.But due to fear I was unable to do it.Now I feel guilt & anger on myself that have I faced the situations without fear,I wud have been in my job.
Fear-I seriously want to get rid of it.
Why do we fear?Can we come out from it in a serious manner?
You judged correct that fear & guilt is a core belief that I have built.You now know about me that at this young age I have left my job due to anxiety/depression.Actually I have now closed myself in dark room and being isolated myself from the outer world.I have now become hopeless.Thanks to my wife & parents who are constantly encouraging me to stand again for a new life & challanges ahead.
Right now I can only say I am trying to crack the walls of fear & guilt by talking with my close,motivating myself thru reading spiritual books & yoga.
The problem I am currently facing is extreme hopelessness.This feeling leads to mental collapse.I am trying to get rid of this feeling by challanging this feeling.I know very well that this feeling of hopelessness is very wrong & the cycle shud be broken by series of positiveness.
I suffer series of failure due to my nature & series of core beliefs that I built over a period of time.
By passage of time I realized that worry & fear of future is in my nature.Yes I do fear failures & setbacks.
My family complains why I live with so much tension?I answer that it is my nature.They say change the nature;it is in your hands only & that they can only support.I ask them how do I change my nature?It has been into my mind like concrete cement.I am finding it difficult to break.Had it been made of ice or mud can be easily broken.
I really want to live a peaceful & happy life with my family & I have seperated myself from big show off in society as I used to do earlier.Yet this problem is not leaving me.
