Has anyone found the exact cause of there anxiety and faced it head on?

[Holisticstress]

I think that the exact cause of your anxiety is from inside It is a process of your response to a situation that may be in the past or reoccurring now or you perceive it reoccurring.

In other words there is no exact cause each is individual.

I could describe the affect and effect anxiety causes but that is the psychological and physiological symptoms

To face it head on you may have to reflect and perhaps complete an Thoughts diary the antecedence (what was happening before), your feelings, your behaviour and the conclusion. By looking at the behaviour and your feelings there can be a way of changing things i.e. CBT.

Mindfulness can also help

Hi Stubie. I'm very confused about my anxiety as I've never suffered attacks before and it hit me out of the blue. However I know this occurred at a very stressful time for me and the stress was related to work. I was off for 2 weeks but the thought of going back made me nervous so I associate my anxiety with work. Fortunately or unfortunately I have to face my anxiety everyday and I do find that I have to leave the office for a breather every now and again. However as a positive, I am pushing the anxiety to one side and getting on with it. It annoys me that the anxiety extends into my everyday life but I just try to push through it.

My current worry is we've booked a holiday to Scotland and I had instant thoughts of the roads being unsafe, our car isn't safe enough (we've gone from a sturdy 4x4 to a BMW! if it snows we're screwed!) So I blighted my partner with lods of safety questions. But I adore Scotland and I don't want my anxiety to ruin this trip so I am thinking positive and concentrating on mind over matter.
