I left my job last yr due to uncontrollable anxiety and series of negative thoughts.I sit four months without work thinking about myself.But I did not conclude anything as sitting idle in anxiety will lead more poor results.Then I joined a job of very less salary.Now I feel that I should give myself more exposure i.e thinking of joining job of big salary.
I am not in hurry but fear of anxiety & depression exists.At present things with me going very smooth and everything seems to be under my control except for salary.
I really fear of returning of anxiety in my next job if I get where there is big responsibility & strict bosses.
What shud I do to control myself so that I can sustain in challenging situations?
Money has now become secondry for me.Primary thing anxiety shud not get over me again.Its like flight/avoid situation for me.I am not joining any job because of fear of anxiety.
But sooner or later I will give one more try only when I feel fully confident about myself that I can control anxiety in challanging situations.
You said-"You will not know till you try".This is a fact.Two days back I went to a big organisation for some official work.I felt to get anxious when I thought what will happen 2 me if I join this organisation in future.
An year back I came to know that I have anxiety problem.On challanging situations I seemed to loose control on myself,my face reflects that I m getting anxious & being noticed in public.
I started practicing two things.One is breath relaxation technique,yoga & meditation.I m practicing it continous for last 4-5 months & I feel it is a positive practice against anxiety.
The other practice is flight against challanging situation.I start avoiding challanging situations.But that is not meant for long term.
Is there any method which helps us to stand firm even in challanging situations?
I start challanging my anxious thoughts but it works sometimes and many times not.
Its almost an year when I became jobless due to anxiety.This year I am in huge financial loss but gained huge profits in terms of physical health,mental health & support from my family.
I again want to start my life yet not feel confident.There is a tremendous fear of failure set within my core beliefs.I have maintained a core belief in last one year, that poor habits like getting anxious in specific conditions can not be changed from my personality.This start of anxiety at once becomes like a storm and captures my mental status.
I feel if I step ahead for big challange I will again be fallen & I do not have power to face big challanges of life & job.
In my college days Sachin Tendulkar,Indian cricket sportsman inspires me a lot.Army pupils & their disciplenes were another source of inspiration.I attempted a detailed interview for army officer in my college days.
But my present source of inspiration is ?? I am not able to identify.
Hopefully I will find and take another step for my betterment.
One herbal supplement Brahmi is said to bring positive results in treatment of anxiety & depression.I am on this medication from last three months.One shud take his doctor's advice before reaching out any conclusion.
I did some work in initial sessions of the course.I find much better myself as compared 1 year back.Its a combined effect of many activities which I did for myself to get relieve from depression & anxiety.As per your suggestion I will move further across the lessons of the programe.
Hello Davit,
Your thoughts seems to be very encouraging for me.It seems every time I check in site to see your responses against my query.
But one thing;I simulated myself in challanging environment.I seem to have high level of anxiety.This happens me 2-3 times.
So due to this again fear of failure starts coming to my mind.
What shud I do to regain my confidence then;to prepare myself for bigger & challanging roles in life.
Davit has given good piece of information on Brahmi & Valerian root.One thing I want to add that as far as I know there are no known side effects of Brahmi. But certainly these medicines takes a considerable time before showing up any positive results.
Actually anxiety is not like fever or headache.Take a pill & you will be okay.I am taking actions in different areas to make strengthen myself.I have developed an aim to reduce my anxiety at a certain level & to a level there is success. Brahmi is only a single part of that act.
I hope to find more positive results so that I can share.
