Here is some background: We all have a natural instinct to feel fright. It is only supposed to come when we are in a situation that warrants it. Anxiety is when fright appears in our regular normal daily lives. Its NOT a lack of bitachon. Don’t let anyone tell that to you.
There are different ways to attack it.
1. Therapy where you find out why you feel anxiety. Did you experience a trauma? Talking about it will help.
2. Work on relaxation exercises. When you feel anxiety use these to relax.
3. CBT. Understand that you are in charge of your thoughts and you can decide how you react to situations. Think about your anxiety; do you really think that it might happen? No! What’s the worst that can happen? Nothing really. So relax.
4. Mindfulness. Get in touch with your feelings. Think about what exactly is stressing you and learn to accept it.
5. Medication.
I gave you the background…now you need to figure out how bad your anxiety is and which road you would like to take to fix it.
