A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?

What happens to people who meditate every day?
To be honest, I have been meditating for more than half a year, and my previous stinky problems have been corrected a lot. If I get a new life, I also see more hope. Because many of the problems that plagued me have been gradually resolved, my whole person is not as "lost" as before, and I also begin to feel that I will strive for a better life if I work hard.

How can we have a strong and optimistic heart?
When we face difficulties and challenges, what we lack is not a serious attitude, but the spirit of letting go. Every time I am anxious, compared, blamed, miserable, inferior, dissatisfied with reality, or when I take one thing or a person too important, I will tell myself this,

Anxiety Can Not Always Be Seen
I have to speak out and make people aware of an issue that I recently come across. I know a young lady who is a mum and suffers from anxiety, especially when getting out and about.

The most luxurious thing these days is probably sleep
Human life has, by and large, been locked into a state of ceaseless continuity, the norm of which is perpetual motion. In this state, time no longer passes, outside clock time. Behind the empty buzzword, 24/7 marks a kind of static redundancy that denies connection to the rhythms and cycles of human life. It is meant to be an arbitrary uninflected schema, cut from complex, varied or precipitated experience. "24/365," for example, is completely different, because it implies a dull, undulating timeliness in which real change and the unexpected may occur. Many institutions in the developed world have been operating on a 24/7 basis for decades. It is only in recent years that our personal and social identities have been reshaped and reshaped to accommodate the constant workings of markets, information networks and other systems. The 24/7 environment dresses up as a social world, but it's really a typical machine world, a life stop that doesn't let the world know how much it costs to keep it functioning effectively. It must be distinguished from time as discussed by early 20th-century thinkers like Lukacs, the hollow, homogenous modernity of time in the form of measures or calendars that serve the functioning of the state, finance and industry, to the exclusion of individual hopes or plans. What is new is that this pretence is completely abandoned, that time is no longer tied to any long-term undertakings, and that even the illusion of "progress" or development is broken down. The 24/7 world, illuminated by day and night and removed from shadow, is the last illusion of post-capitalist history, with the otherness removed as the driving force of historical development.

7 Mental Strategies for Dealing with Anxiety
It's been a long time since I've seen someone with a low anxiety level in my life. Maybe because of this age, maybe because of this age, I don't know why, everyone seems to be out of breath. Yet while "depression" and "procrastination" have become almost buzzwords, "anxiety" hasn't been discussed much, for reasons we'll talk about later.

It's not worth losing sleep over!
I stress a lot. It’s part of the triple-whammy of having PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The three tend to cross over a fair bit and blur the lines of what most would consider rational behavior regularly.

Just as Beautiful
“Coffee, sir?” Mark jerked his head back and opened his eyes. A quick glance around told him he was in the dining car of a train. The decor, the tables, and the benches were all a bit dated, but still relatively nice. Other than the man standing at the end of his table, the car was empty. The man’s hands were behind his back, his eyes were wide, and he was smiling expectantly.

People Are Crazy, I’m Not Crazy
When I was sixteen I had an episode of craziness. I was delusional, hearing and seeing things that weren’t there. My mother ask me what was wrong and I blurted out “it’s all in the book, the book that I’m gonna write called people are crazy, I’m not crazy”. I was not diagnosed with anything. I was in the ER and they said I was fine. I felt a drop of liquid drop on my forehead and I thought I was being blessed and called to do something for God. I was so confused and disoriented. The doctor couldn’t see what was going on in my head and my behavior wasn’t a problem. I was sent home and continued to be out of my mind for several days. By the grace of God I returned to my normal self. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 26, they got it wrong. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was 61. Since that time I’ve been taking a antipsychotic and I feel better, I function better. Mental illness didn’t make me stupid. I graduated in 1985 as a RN and worked 26 years full time in Palm Beach County. I also raised 2 children by myself. I was in my prime in my 30’s and 40’s. I ended up in hospital about every 2 years with psychosis. I’ve had multiple hospitalizations, too many to count. How could they get it wrong almost all my life? Bipolar and schizophrenia do have some similarities but I wasn’t prescribed an antipsychotic medication which I desperately needed. Thankfully I am doing well. I’m retired and disabled since 2005. I suffered a neck injury when a tall and big man fell on me at work. As a result I became so depressed because I was out of work and depending on my adult son to help me financially. My doctor advised me to go to the hospital so he could “ tweet my meds“. They gave Me a new medication called Seroquel. I ended up with the side effect of neuroleptic malignant syndrome which almost killed me. I was in intensive care, I did not recognize or know my children. I developed short term memory loss after that. I underwent memory testing which revealed it and subsequently my . p ate in. i ater used thevn I suIhsychiatrist forced me on disability. I cried and cried. I begged him to give me time to get better. I never filled out a form or signed anything. It just happened. People are crazy. Just a few years later I passed the exam to sell life insurance, health insurance and annuities on the first try. Most people have to take it 2 or 3 times. I hated the insurance business. I never sold anything and didn’t make any money. I just had to prove that my memory loss wasn’t that bad. (to be continued)
