Sweetie & Salty Anxiety
It is 50 50 that's why I call it sweetie and salty anxiety
Neither I am a doctor or physician consultant nor I am a psychologist but why do I want to write about anxiety? The answer is simple I have been facing it almost for a month that’s why I took a pen and started writing about sweet and salty anxiety. It may be possible this is an excitement what I am calling it anxiety but I am taking it as anxiety.
I am an electrical engineer and I live in Karachi Pakistan. I got married in 2014 to a beautiful girl and I have 3 naughty kids. They are really naughty as you know kids are kids. my wife is a housewife and I run my family financially. Recently, I interviewed to land a job in the Middle East through social media.
Luckily, I have been selected for the post. I have been feeling sweetie and salty anxiety since I was selected. Let me explain a bit about my feelings. When I think I have to go abroad for a job and work with multicultural people my excitement shoots up and this excitement converts into sweetie anxiety because I want to be part of that employer as soon as possible.
When I think about my family if I go abroad to acquire a job, what will happen to my family? In this scenario, I feel salty anxiety and the problem upon problem is random thoughts start to come to mind. Who is going to look after my family? Mostly I became depressed at that moment. I am thinking from time to time what is happening to me? Why am I having these sorts of feelings?
Now how to come up with an idea to tackle my sweetie and salty anxiety? First of all, I have to identify what sort of anxiety I am feeling. Are there any physical symptoms or I am having only mental anxiety? As far as I am concerned I have the flavors of both physical and mental symptoms.
Sometimes, I feel like my heartbeats are racing, and sometimes I feel like my hands and legs are sweating. When I am surrounded by this situation I try to change my place where I am now. This is one of the handy techniques to come out of the state of anxiety. You have to switch your place and position immediately. This technique does work.
Secondly, if we're alone try to sit in a crowd and start chatting as much as possible so you will come out easily from the state of anxiety. Choose your own topic to discuss because the more you chat, you will be anxiety-free quickly, if you were sitting in a solitary room, get up and try to walk anywhere walk seems possible. Believe me, walking will deviate your thoughts to minimize the stress of anxiety.
These are the techniques to come out of sweetie and salty anxiety. If you have any serious anxiety issues you are supposed to consult a physiatrist. The major issue in anxiety is to control your thoughts. Actually, thoughts accelerate the anxiety. I hope you will enjoy my today’s article.
