anxiety and triggers

hi all

I am having a tough morning very anxious about work and I have heard from a support group and also from a podcast host I like about the Anxiety RX podcast with Russell something and he mentioned how the roof of all his anxiety ended up being childhood trauma I just burst into tears, and it had not been a weepy morning for me at all today.. I’ve always struggled with anxiety on and off over the years and thought it was situational but there was something about what he said that just triggered me…sorry to just ramble on

It's GOOD to ramble, keep at it. I fought my psychiatrist and counselor for years that I didn't have childhood trauma. As it turns out, I did and didn't realize until age 40. Hang in there. I'm about to do my first interview after being on disability for two years and want to vomit. ANXIETY!

Hi DMM1188, it's true that our anxiety had to come from somewhere whether during

our childhood years or later in life through a situation/trauma. Finding the root of our

problem is the beginning in getting out of that cycle of fear that hangs over us each

day. The cycle in our mind presenting negative thoughts as well as our body reacting

to those thoughts. We tend to get caught up in a Web of Lies and before long our life

is stolen right from under us. Both Medication as well as talk therapy can be a start

in allowing that cycle to stop long enough for us to address it. Once we do, the therapy

can be the catalyst that takes us on another path to our goal, to success.

Crying is a good release of emotional hormones. As you listen to your podcast as well

as different people's perspective on their own triggers, you will be awakened as to

what may be happening to yourself. The more we know and learn, the sooner we can

get back in control. It's going to be okay. :) xx
